A Body Neutral Personal Trainer's Take on "Composition Body Scans" with Sam Christy, RD, ACSM

You got the body scan… and suddenly you’re spiraling.

In this follow-up episode, I’m bringing back Sam Christy, registered dietitian, body-neutral personal trainer, and founder of Triple A Wellness, to unpack my personal trainer assessment through a very different lens.

Because here’s the thing:A body scan can give you data… but it can’t tell you your worth, your health, or your potential as a runner.

Sam walks us through:

What body scans actually measure (and what they don’t)

The limitations and inaccuracies of common assessments

The red flags to watch for in fitness evaluations

What a body-neutral personal trainer looks at instead

How to navigate feelings of shame, guilt, or panic after getting your results

If you’ve ever walked out of an assessment questioning your body, your training, or your health… this episode is your reality check (and your permission slip).

Because you deserve support that builds you up, not breaks you down.
