Show Notes

In this bonus short with Dr. Wendy Schofer, she discusses the issue of weighing ourselves on a scale. She shares insights into her innovative health and life coaching program tailored for parents and families concerned with weight loss. She illuminates the flawed concept of defining one's health solely through the numbers on a scale. She delves into the multifaceted factors influencing weight, urging listeners to shift their focus from pounds, BMI, and A1C to eating competence and confidence. Tune in to feel inspired and empowered to live a life of balance, positivity, and self-acceptance.

I do not encourage focusing on the scale because we want to look upstream of that. What are the changes we are truly trying to make that may or may not actually impact what the scale says. -Dr. Wendy Schofer
