65: Beyond the Scale: What Fit for TV Got Wrong About Weight Loss
After watching Netflix’s new documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, Heather dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in health and fitness - that the number on the scale defines your success.
In this eye-opening episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather breaks down what the show got wrong about transformation and what real health looks like in midlife. She unpacks her RESET framework - Resilience, Energy, Strength, Empowerment, and Transformation to show why midlife women need to focus less on shrinking and more on building: building muscle, building energy, and building a body that supports them for decades to come.
You’ll learn:
- Why muscle is more important than the number on the scale
 - How building strength protects metabolism, bones, and longevity
 - Why energy, sleep, and stress management matter more than calories
 - The dangers of extreme weight loss revealed in Fit for TV
 - How to redefine transformation in perimenopause and beyond
 - If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your weight won’t budge or wondered why you’re doing all the “right” things but don’t feel stronger...this episode will completely shift how you measure progress.
 
It’s time to stop letting the scale tell your story.
It’s time to hit the RESET.
