Teachers love a good challenge — but somewhere between “Biggest Loser” boards in the lounge and “new year, new me” step contests, wellness got tangled up with diet culture. In this episode, we’re unpacking how schools unintentionally promote diet culture under the label of “health,” why teachers often hit the reset button every summer, and how some of us thrive (or totally flop) when the routine kicks back in.We’ll talk about food guilt, staff weigh-ins, Sonic runs, and how real teacher wellness isn’t about shrinking — it’s about surviving and showing up whole.Because we’re teachers… and of course we call it wellness, not diet culture.
