EP 168: Is Halloween Candy Really That Scary?

What's actually scary about Halloween candy is not the sugar.

Before you try to hide the candy corn and mini-chocolates, take a breath — because one night of candy isn’t the problem.

Listen and learn why Halloween treats don’t wreck someone's health — though, of course, daily ultra-processed foods might.

Most important, you’ll learn how to build a healthy, calm relationship with sweets (without guilt or restriction) and why mindful eating is the real secret to balance.

You’ll also hear creative ideas for candy alternatives — from bounce balls that look like eyeballs to pretzels and ghost finger puppets — because Halloween can be fun, inclusive, and still aligned with your wellness values.

Imagine a Halloween where candy isn’t forbidden, kids don’t binge, and you don’t have to stress over sugar.

Instead, you’re teaching awareness, balance, and body trust — lessons that last long after the candy’s gone.
