The Biggest Loser was more than a TV show — it shaped how a whole generation thought about weight, health, and even self-worth. But what happens when the messages we grew up with were harmful all along?

In this episode, I dive into The Biggest Loser documentary and share my own personal experiences of growing up in the era of weight loss TV. From the humiliation contestants faced, to the unrealistic expectations it created for all of us watching at home, to one made for TV moment that still makes me feel emotional to this day — I unpack the emotional and cultural impact these shows left behind.

We’ll talk about what The Biggest Loser got wrong, how those messages still linger in our lives, and most importantly, how we can start making it right.

And, if you're looking for a coach who is the exact opposite of Jillian Michaels who can help you both reach your fitness goals and undo the harms of diet culture
