#7 - Learn & Grow Pt 7 - The Biggest Loser Did Not Exist to Create Better Lives with Bernie Salazar, a former “winner” of the show

Our original interview was released in 2016 and replaced with
this update.


Bernie Salazar has been a student of the body kindness philosophy
for over two years. But early on in his practice, The Biggest
Loser was still a popular show and Bernie was still trying to
make sense of what it meant to be healthy.


Though he was deeply concerned about the well-being of the
contestants, he still had his own self love and compassion “work”
to do. His original “Loser letter,” which you’ll hear again in
this show, still had some disordered logic and diet talk.


Now, we come full circle in this episode with a deep reflection
on culture, the show, and who gets access to feeling happy and
safe in their body. Bernie shares that his true, happy and
healthy self was always meant to have a fat body. And he is
finally embracing it. He encourages all of us to keep practicing
body kindness and heal our relationships with ourselves.
