S12 EP24: Life After The Biggest Loser


Listen Later

It’s been twenty years since The Biggest Loser first aired. In the last episode, we reflected on what The Biggest Loser taught us about ourselves and how the show shaped the way we view weight loss, health, and body image. In this episode, we focus on the progress we’ve made since then: the shift toward strength training, body composition over the scale, and celebrating sustainable health instead of crash diets. We ask tough questions, share personal experiences, and rethink what health really looks like NOW in 2025. Have you changed with the times? This is a raw, timely conversation for anyone still untangling themselves from the “before and after” mindset.
