Welcome back to The Weight Loss Collab! In today’s episode, co-host Hannah Schuyler dives into a powerful and rarely discussed topic—food and shame. We’re used to hearing about macros, micros, and nutrition science, but what about the emotional weight we carry every time we make a food choice? Hannah invites listeners to reflect honestly on moments of guilt, secrecy, and shame around eating, challenging the deeply rooted messages that tie morality to what we put on our plates.

With humor and personal stories (including an honest admission about sour cream and cheddar chips in the Aldi parking lot!), Hannah explores how food has no morality—eating a certain way doesn’t make you “good” or “bad.” Instead, she encourages everyone to focus on what truly makes a person kind, compassionate, and generous—qualities that have nothing to do with food choices. This episode is a fresh reminder that enjoying food, sharing meals with friends, and letting go of shame can help us savor life—and our weight loss journeys—a whole lot more. So, get comfortable and join us as we break down the unnecessary baggage of food guilt and embrace being perfectly, beautifully human.
