Is it okay if you don't work out every day? Yes — and rest is actually a necessary part of taking care of your body, not something you have to earn.

In our latest blog post, we cover:
- Why rest days matter for exercise recovery
- What REDS (relative energy deficiency in sport) is, and why it's not just an "athlete" problem
- How to tell if your body needs more rest
- The signs that your relationship with exercise may have become compulsive

Why doctors started weighing patients at every visit in the first place
When weight is actually medically necessary, and when it's not
What a "blind weight" is and how to request one
Real scripts you can use to decline being weighed or redirect the conversation

You have body autonomy, and that includes your healthcare. Declining to be weighed is not declining care — it's advocating for yourself.
