This is especially true for post partum! Hormones are sneaky and impact a cascade of side effects if not in balance. Thank you for the reminder on the scale! Easy to obsess on this useless metric!
I find this very interesting ! I am already getting bone density scans for many years because of my 5" height , and as I age I have been curious as to where my muscle was shifting to. I have been a conscious eater all my life because of ballet, gymnastics and working in fashion, and at least always did a lot of strength training from my teens into my later years. As I do less running and downhill skiing and more high intensity yoga, I was wondering how I was setting myself up for my next decade. I don't live in a " wellness mecca" , but I found a place in my city for a scan and will check it out. Thank you so much for sharing this.
i also find the GLP-1 conversation to be incomplete too! if anything, it’s dangerous. the loss of muscle and poor body composition after these drugs is not talked about enough.
i would love a DEXA scan! this was so interesting to read and appreciate how this is all done out of curiosity, not fear.
