In this Halloween episode of Breaking Body Biases, we explore why Halloween candy should be enjoyed without guilt, shame, or the need to “earn” it with extra exercise. This episode dives into the common messages around holiday treats that lead to unhealthy relationships with food, discusses the harm of concepts like the “Switch Witch,” and offers positive approaches to enjoying candy without the moral baggage. Join us as we uncover a healthier, more joyful perspective on treats that supports self-care and food freedom.
