Summary
 Weight is one of the most trusted measurements in modern life. But how much does it actually tell us about the body? In Beyond Weight: Body in Context, Heidi Pasch examines how weight became a dominant proxy for health, attractiveness, and self-worth. Through a physiological and systems-based lens, the book explores what body weight measures, what it misses, and how weight-centered models influence medicine, eating behaviors, self-perception, and modern health culture. From body composition and metabolic health to GLP-1 medications and modern weight management, Beyond Weight challenges oversimplified interpretations of the body while proposing a broader framework for understanding individual health. Rather than rejecting measurement entirely, Beyond Weight asks readers to examine which metrics truly matter—and what may be lost when a single number is given too much authority.What we measure shapes what we protect.©2026 Heidi Pasch (P)2026 Heidi Pasch Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Science
