In episode 26 of Greenfork’s Food for Thought, Registered Dietitian Lindsay Ferrara joins host Stephen Zabala to reveal why the bathroom scale and wearable calorie estimates are often misleading, how metabolic testing and InBody scans give a truer picture of health, and why preserving muscle and fiber intake matter far more than chasing quick weight loss. They dive into diet myths, GLP-1 drugs, DEXA scan inconsistencies, and the simple habits that actually optimize metabolism and body composition.Want to connect with Lindsay and learn more about Pinnacle Nutrition?
