In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss.

Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain.
• The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth.
• How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marathon of deprivation.
• Reflections on healing: Moving beyond the "biggest loser" era.

This conversation is equal parts nostalgia, critique, and hope – a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of diet culture or chased an unrealistic transformation.
