Withings on Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair

But one thing I always say is, you cannot optimize what you don't measure. Many people only measure their total body weight, if anything. but this only tells a small part of the story. When losing weight, you don't know if you're losing fat or muscle, or even where the fat is being lost from. For instance, let's talk about visceral fat, the evil fat that sits around your organs. It's associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even death. So getting rid of visceral fat in particular, or at least minimizing it, can have a strong impact on your long-term health and longevity. How do you measure visceral fat? Well, it turns out that Withings, one of Lifespan's partners, makes some of the coolest devices that you can measure yourself with. watches, a blood pressure monitor, and advanced bathroom scales. I've actually been using Withings devices for over 13 years since they first came out with their Wi-Fi scales. The Withings body scan scale can help estimate muscle mass, fat mass, and even visceral fat. So let me show you what my body looks like in 3D. My digital twin on the Withings app, here it is on the screen here, shows changes in lean mass, visceral fat and even bone mass. What you can see on my arms is 11.3% fat and 14% on my torso and visceral fat is pretty low at 2.7. I'm happy with these numbers. You can also look at muscle. The Withings Scale is also the only smart scale that comes with an FDA-cleared ECG, which is really important for monitoring your heart health. And I measure that every morning when I stand on it. So we at Lifespan, we're partnering with Withings in part because we really believe in their product, but also because we share a common commitment to preventative health and also supporting medical research and young students. learn more about withings or get a scale or one of their other really cool smart devices at withings.com slash lifespan or for a 10 off discount use the code lifespan
