  • S2 Episode 17 "Love at First Bite: Diet Trends on a Dating App" SEASON FINALE
    Aug 25 2025

    SEASON FINALE!What if every weight loss trend showed up on a dating app? From keto with a flashy profile pic, to intermittent fasting playing hard to get, to GLP-1s sliding in with slick promises—would you swipe right or left? In this episode, we play matchmaker (and heartbreaker) with today’s hottest diet and wellness fads. You’ll hear the red flags, green flags, and those “it’s complicated” vibes that make some trends appealing but maybe not marriage material. By the end, you’ll know which ones deserve a first date, which should be ghosted, and which might just be The One (for now).

    BEN AND AMY will take a short break to research topics and content. Stay tuned for an exciting Season 3 in October 2025.

  • S2 Episode 16 "Thriving on a GLP-1: How to Feel Your Best While Losing Weight"
    Aug 5 2025

    In this episode of The Heavy Truth, we’re digging into more than just the scale. If you're on a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy/Ozempic, or Mounjaro/Zepbound, you've probably heard all about the weight loss—but what about the fatigue, nausea, or that weird relationship with food now?

  • S2 Episode 15 Still Not Enough: Body Dysmorphia After Weight Loss
    Jun 29 2025

    On today’s episode of The Heavy Truth, Ben and Amy open up about the often-overlooked emotional aftermath of weight loss—body dysmorphia.

    You'd think the number on the scale dropping would bring nothing but celebration—but for many, especially those who’ve carried extra weight for years, the mental baggage sticks around long after the pounds are gone. Ben and Amy share raw personal stories and tough truths about what it feels like to look in the mirror and still see your “before” self, to hear compliments that don’t feel true, and to wrestle with an identity that’s shifting faster than your body can keep up.

    They’ll also explore the silent grief, unexpected shame, and the strange guilt that can follow weight loss, as well as how to begin healing and learning to trust your reflection again.

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their outsides changed, but their insides didn’t get the memo. Tender, honest, and deeply relatable—this is The Heavy Truth.
