  • 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.

  • S2 Episode 14 - Lessons, Labels & Leftovers: Weight Talk from the Past
    Jun 10 2025

    This week on The Heavy Truth, Ben and Amy take a gentle detour—nothing too wild, just a little reflective stroll down memory lane. They’re opening up about the messages they picked up about weight while growing up—things their parents said, what they heard from family, friends, maybe even that one nosy neighbor. You know the type.

    It’s not all sunshine—some moments might tug at old memories or stir feelings you haven’t visited in a while. But hey, that’s part of the journey, right? Whether it hits home or just makes you go “Hmm,” one thing’s for sure: you’re not alone here.

    So, cozy in, maybe grab a snack (no judgment here), and stay with Ben and Amy as they keep it honest, a little messy, and always real.

    May 18 2025

    Hey friends—welcome back to The Heavy Truth with your favorite duo, Ben and Amy! This episode? Oh, it’s a fun one. We’re diving headfirst into the world of AI—yep, Artificial Intelligence—and how it's not just for robots and sci-fi movies anymore. Turns out, it can actually be super helpful when it comes to your health and wellness journey.

    We’re talking apps that can build your workout plan, suggest meals based on your preferences, whip up grocery lists, and even keep you on track with your weight loss goals (without the guilt trips). It’s kind of like having a digital cheerleader-slash-nutritionist-slash-personal-trainer in your pocket.

    We’ll waffle a bit, we’ll laugh a lot, and by the end, you’ll probably want to open your phone and start exploring what AI can do for you. So pour your coffee, get comfy, and let’s unpack this techy twist on getting healthier!
