Hume Body Pod, Is it Worth It? Hume Health Review

I’ve been planning to do this Hume Health review for a while, but I wanted to wait until I’d used it for six months. During this time, I got three DEXA scans to compare the results to the Hume Health Body Pod scale. According to the manufacturer, the Body Pod correlates within three percent of a DEXA scan. For this Hume Health vs DEXA review, I thought it would be easier to present my thoughts in a video/audio form so I can share it with my podcast audience as well. If you prefer to read it the transcript is below and I’ll be updating this page shortly with a written review.

In this episode I discusses the importance of daily weigh-ins and how they can be a valuable tool for tracking body composition over time. However, just knowing your weigh isn’t enough, especially when you’re actively working to build muscle and lose fat. I share my thoughts on various body fat scales I’ve used in the past as well as most recent experience with the Hume Health Scale. Using the three DEXA scans I got during the same time, I compare the accuracy and utility of using a home body composition scale. I also share tips and tricks on how to get the most accurate readings from your Hume Body Pod.

I also provide practical tips for maintaining muscle mass while managing weight, highlighting the significance of protein intake and consistent tracking. Since recording this episode, I also started using the Hume band to track other health metrics. You can read my review of the Hume band vs Whoop here.

How Accurate is the Hume Health Scale?

The company reports that this scale is the only one approved for medical clinics/ It uses 8 sensors, including a hand held piece to gauge weight, body composition and heart rate each time you step on.

After using this scale well over 6 months now as of April 2025, I can report that it’s very accurate when used under the same daily hydration conditions. Ideally, you use the scale right after you wake up and use the bathroom, before consuming any food or liquid. This is the way to get the most consistent results that show your body composition changes over time.

Takeaways

• Daily weigh-ins can help maintain consistency in weight management.
• Daily weight fluctuations are often due to hydration and diet, not fat gain.
• Tracking weight over time reveals trends rather than daily c
