Weight loss and longevity don’t always point in the same direction—especially after menopause. 
You can make the scale go down, but what if the strategy getting you there is costing you muscle, strength, or future independence? 
From intermittent fasting and body composition to social media and the pressure to look a certain way, this episode takes a closer look at what may be driving your weight-loss goals.
