About this Event
Beyond the Scales is an in-person event for the general public about understanding body composition and health beyond weight and BMI.
Join Helena and Michael, the husband-and-wife team behind Greymed Rejuvenation, for a relaxed, informative and thought-provoking evening exploring what bathroom scales can’t tell us. Learn why maintaining muscle, managing body fat and looking after metabolic health can become increasingly important as we get older.
What to expect
- Discover what’s beneath the surface: Understand the differences between body weight, body fat and muscle mass, and why each matters.
- Explore how bodies change with age: Learn how midlife, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and physical activity can influence body composition.
- Look beyond BMI: Find out why the number on the scales doesn’t always reflect your fitness, strength or overall wellbeing.
- See health technology in action: Get an introduction to Greymed’s A5 Body & Health Analysis and learn how body composition measurements can help you monitor your progress.
- Ask questions and get involved: Take part in an open, friendly conversation with Helena and Michael in a welcoming, judgement-free environment.
