Understanding Body Composition

Weight doesn’t tell you what you’re made of!

In the pursuit of health over weight, there are some steps that healthcare providers can take to minimize negative impacts and optimize outcomes in their patients. Providers can help patients see what they are made of when they shift focus away from weight, BMI and certain clinical practices and adopt those that help patients see changes in their emotional state, physical functioning, health parameters, and changes in their body composition.

Brief history of weighing
The birth of weight bias and stigma
Clinical tips to integrate into counseling
Better, more sophisticated tools to approach conversations and individualize care plans
