00:00So you've been eating better and training for weeks, and the bathroom scale hasn't moved.
00:04A regular scale can't tell you if you've lost fat and put on muscle at the same time.
00:09That's what this body composition scale is for.
00:11In this Hume Body Pod review, I'll go through my complete breakdown,
00:16how much I trusted the numbers, and a couple of things I'd change about it.
00:20But if you're not interested in this review and just want to get this body composition scale
00:24at a discount, then just click the link below this video in the description.
00:28Okay, let's get straight into the pros of the Hume Body Pod Smart Scale.
00:34Shows fat and muscle separately.
00:36A regular scale gives you one number.
00:39This body composition scale sends a very small electrical signal through your body
00:44and measures how easily it travels.
00:46Lean tissue holds more water than fat, so the signal moves through it more easily.
00:51The Body Pod uses that difference to split your weight into an estimate of fat and muscle.
00:56It tracks over 45 health metrics in all, so if your weight stalls,
01:01you can still see where the fat is coming down while muscle holds steady.
01:06Reads your arms and torso too.
01:09Basic smart scales only touch your feet, so they mostly read your legs and estimate the rest.
01:15With the Hume Body Pod scale, you also hold a pair of handles that pull out to waist height.
01:20That adds contact through your hands, so it scans your torso, arms and legs.
01:25It uses 8 different frequencies to do it, and it's said to be 98% accurate compared to a DEXA
01:31scan,
01:32which is the body scan you'd normally book at a clinic.
01:35Tells you which habits are working.
01:37Your scans go to the Hume app, which has an AI coach you can use any time of day.
01:43It looks at your readings over weeks and gives you suggestions about your training and eating.
01:48Every week, you also get a report on how things like sleep and activity seem to line up with your
01:54changes.
01:54If you wear a smartwatch or fitness tracker, the app pulls that data in automatically,
02:00so you're not left staring at a list of numbers wondering what to change.
02:05Scans take under 20 seconds.
02:08You step on barefoot, pull out the handles and stand still.
02:12The whole scan is done in under 20 seconds.
02:15Then the results sync to your phone over Bluetooth on their own.
02:19That matters because one reading tells you very little.
02:22The useful part is the trend over several weeks, so it has to be quick enough that you keep doing
02:27it.
02:28And a single charge lasts up to a year, so you're not stuck with a dead scale halfway through.
02:34One scale for the whole household.
02:36The Hume pod supports unlimited family accounts on one scale.
02:41Each person gets their own profile, so your partner's readings don't end up mixed into your history.
02:46That means two people with different goals can share it.
02:49One of you can be trying to lose fat while the other is trying to build muscle, and you each
02:54see your own progress.
02:56Checks your heart rate each time.
02:58It also measures your heart rate every time you step on.
03:03Over a few weeks, that gives you a record of your resting heart rate next to your body changes.
03:08If you've started exercising more, it's one more number you can watch move over time.
03:13It's there for tracking though.
03:15It won't check your heart for problems.
03:17Okay, let's check out the negatives of the Hume Health Scale.
03:21Readings Shift with Water and Food
03:23This is how bioelectrical impedance works on any scale.
03:28The reading changes with how hydrated you are, what you've just eaten, alcohol, a workout, even body temperature.
03:35So a scan after a big dinner can look like you gained fat when nothing really changed.
03:40The fix is to scan at the same time every day, ideally in the morning after the bathroom and before
03:46you eat, drink, or exercise.
03:48That's a routine you have to stick to.
03:50And it's why I trust the trend over a few weeks, never a single reading.
03:55The coach doesn't know your history.
03:58The coaching only sees what the scale and your wearable tell it.
04:01It doesn't know about an old injury or a medication you take.
04:05So treat its suggestions as ideas to weigh up with your own judgment, not as medical advice.
04:11The heart rate and body readings are for tracking too.
04:14They don't diagnose anything.
04:16Overall, the Hume BodyPod is a solid body composition scale for anyone who wants to see what's changing behind the
04:23number on a regular scale.
04:24It splits your weight into fat and muscle so you can see what's really changing.
04:29The handles let it read your arms and torso, not only your legs.
04:33The app turns your scans into weekly reports and coaching on your habits.
04:37And one scale covers everyone in your house, each with their own account.
