Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES:         (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.”  - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health                GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health  - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

Send us a textCurtis LaFleche's life changed dramatically at age 16 when he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis – a condition that causes spinal fusion and threatened his athletic pursuits. Rather than surrendering to limitations, this diagnosis sparked an unexpected journey into the wilderness that transformed his life."I just started walking down the ski trails," Curtis recalls, "and then I fell in love with hiking... seeing birds for the first time I didn't know existed and these plants." What began as rehabilitation became a profound connection with nature that would shape his future career in forestry and conservation, where he made conscious decisions to protect wildlife habitats and riparian zones while managing logging operations.Now 46, Curtis embraces outdoor adventures with a wisdom born from decades managing chronic pain. His upcoming 15-day solo canoe expedition through Ontario's Temagami region represents both a physical challenge and a deeply meaningful journey. Beginning on Gamble Lake, where he planted trees 25 years ago, and ending at Emerald Lake, where his partner's family has scattered ashes of loved ones, the 160-kilometer route creates a perfect circle in his life story.Curtis shares his meticulous planning process – from creating detailed spreadsheets tracking gear weight to dehydrating trail meals and calculating necessary daily calories. His "nothing but time" philosophy prioritizes enjoyment and safety over covering distance. "If I have to triple carry, I don't care," he explains. "I'm going to pull out my camera and watch birds and take three carries and spend two hours on the trail."Beyond his personal adventures, Curtis finds joy in introducing his teenage daughters to the backcountry, carefully balancing challenge with comfort. "I think someday they're going to find solace in the forest," he reflects, recognizing how his own wilderness connection began during life's challenges.Ready to embark on your own wilderness journey?

For decades, gut health was reduced to yogurt commercials and vague promises from probiotics that barely worked. But what if we've been targeting the wrong bugs, using the wrong delivery, and ignoring the true source of chronic inflammation and accelerated aging? In this thought-provoking episode, Dave sits down with Hannah Kleinfeld, a leader in microbiome innovation, to expose why most probiotics fail—and how one company's scientifically validated approach could redefine your gut, brain, immune system, and even your metabolism. You'll learn how dysbiosis may be wrecking your brain without you knowing it, why your probiotic likely died in your stomach acid, and the secret to rebooting your microbiome after antibiotics, GLP-1 drugs, or years of toxic exposure. This isn't just about digestion—your gut controls your cravings, energy, sleep, mood, and aging trajectory. So what's the one upgrade that can actually reset your gut… for good?

The human body possesses remarkable self-healing abilities that conventional medicine often overlooks when treating chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and long COVID.Many sufferers cycle through endless medical appointments, medications with diminishing returns, and growing frustration as their symptoms persist despite "normal" test results.In this episode, Brehan Crawford, founder of Crawford Wellness and expert in traditional Chinese medicine, reveals how this 2,000-year-old medical system addresses chronic conditions through a holistic approach to infection, inflammation, and autonomic healing.Whether you're dealing with persistent health issues, curious about alternatives to conventional medicine, or simply want to understand the power of herbal remedies, Qigong, and acupuncture, this conversation offers practical insights into ancient healing wisdom that modern science is finally beginning to validate."A very natural thing to do when we experience pain is to dissociate from that pain.

Women living with a chronic disease who become pregnant will find little information about the impact of their disease on their pregnancy, or about how to manage their condition while they are pregnant. Is it safe to continue taking their medication, or should they stop? The lack of evidence-based data also leaves most physicians in the dark. Two leading lights in women's reproductive health (and mothers themselves), Marie Teil, Global Head, Women of Childbearing Age Program at UCB Biopharma, and Cathy Nelson-Piercy, Professor of Obstetric Medicine at Guy's and St. Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust, say that many women they've talked to would be willing to join research studies. And they want to educate more clinicians, pharma companies, and scientists about the need to enroll pregnant women in clinical trials. This podcast is not available for CME/CE/CPD credits.

Scamanda and Apple Cider Vinegar - Scams that Damage Us with Chronic Conditions. https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard or my website https://www.annetteleonard.com I tuned in to the podcast and now the TV versions of "Scamanda" and now the Netflix show "Apple Cider Vinegar." Here are examples of two young white women who lied about having terminal cancer and scammed people out of tens of thousands of dollars. In both cases they were discovered and prosecuted. I'm not here to relitigate Riley and Gibson. How do these kinds of scams harm the rest of us who do have chronic and/or terminal conditions? Since Watergate, have we ever trusted a president as much? What that means for those of us who are trying to get medical expenses covered by friends and family or getting meals donated, how much less likely are people to do that kind of thing because of people like Riley and Gibson? While we can't calculate that amount, it certainly factors in. There are different seeds of doubt now that people have been duped. Gibson said she overcame a glioblastoma with nutrition. She touted those changes in her app and book. That begs the question why are we willing to give our health decisions over to people who are not educated in medicine, health, nutrition? Because we are desperate. We're desperate for change, answers, and alternatives. When you see how corrupt big pharma is you wonder whether there's another way. And so we turn to these "experts" and their alluring Instagram photos. The more Riley's and Gibson's there are we all suffer when liars have a bigger platform. Check your sources. Find out what's actually true, not just what's buzzworthy. Have you watched these shows? What did you see or think when you watched? Do you have a sense of why their (and others like their) platforms are so popular? What do we do about the erosion of public trust? How do you decide who you trust in the health space?

In this episode, Dr. Carol McMakin and Kim Pittis discuss Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) protocols for treating nerve pain, including post-herpetic neuralgia and ataxia. They explain the mechanisms behind nerve inflammation, polarization, and scarring, and shares case studies demonstrating effective FSM treatments. The conversation covers topics such as treating the psoas muscle, addressing ticklishness, and managing complex neurological cases. Dr. McMakin also provides insights on using FSM for patients with cancer and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive assessments in identifying the root causes of pain. 01:13 Understanding Voltage-Gated Ion Channels 02:42 FSM and Nerve Pain Treatment 05:59 Case Study: Cavernous Hemangioma 07:42 Nerve Pain Treatment Insights 12:03 Treating the psoas Muscle 17:04 Scarring and Tissue Treatment 18:14 Case Study: Knee Pain Post-Surgery 23:14 Holistic Approach to Pain Treatment 28:12 Addressing Ticklishness in Treatment 30:23 Nerve Inflammation and Pain Management 34:18 Case Study: Ataxic Gait and Neurological Concerns 42:02 Chronic Conditions and Treatment Approaches 47:08 Treating Cancer Patients: Guidelines and Considerations 50:04 Upcoming Courses and Final Thoughts As medical practitioners, it's crucial to constantly refine our approaches to treating conditions like nerve pain, ataxia, and other related dysfunctions. In a recent episode of the Frequency Specific Microcurrent podcast, various experts, including Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis, shared valuable insights that can benefit practitioners seeking to enhance their understanding of nerve-related treatments. Understanding Nerve Pain and Treatment Modalities Dr. Carol emphasizes the complexities of nerve pain treatment, explaining how conditions like postherpetic neuralgia and traction injuries can influence nerve function. Practitioners are encouraged to consider the underlying causes of nerve numbness or hypersensitivity. Dr. Carol suggests the combination of polarizing frequencies and specific microcurrent protocols to address these issues effectively. One primary focus is on using combinations such as 40 Hz and 396 Hz to alleviate inflammation and enhance nerve conductivity. Complementing this approach, Dr. Carol underscores the importance of addressing the surrounding scar tissue, often by applying frequencies such as 13 Hz to reduce adhesions and further alleviate nerve discomfort. Techniques for Addressing Complex Cases Throughout the podcast, both Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis share personal case studies to illustrate treatment strategies. For instance, Dr. Carol describes a particular case wherein a patient developed knee pain post-tummy tuck procedure. Here, the importance of a holistic approach is evident. Realigning the patella and addressing underlying scar tissues from the surgery was pivotal. Additionally, careful inquiry into the patient's history—identifying past surgical or traumatic events—can help in piecing together effective treatment plans. Addressing Ataxia and the Importance of Neurological Assessments In discussing ataxia—an often misunderstood and misdiagnosed condition—Dr. Carol stresses the potential need for thorough assessments beyond standard examinations. She shares anecdotal experiences highlighting that an ataxic gait may stem from spinal, rather than purely cerebral, origins. This revelation points medical practitioners toward the need for detailed diagnostics, including MRI assessments of both the brain and spinal regions. Promoting Safe and Effective Treatment Environments Kim Pittis touches on the critical aspect of patient safety and comfort. Ensuring the nervous system perceives treatment interventions as safe is paramount for achieving lasting results. Furthermore, practitioners are encouraged to adopt a patient-centered approach, considering the individual experiences of pain and discomfort and adjusting treatment protocols accordingly.

A holistic approach focuses on healing from the root cause rather than simply managing symptoms. This includes addressing underlying issues such as gut health, diet, and environmental factors while making small, consistent changes for long-term healing.Food combinations and digestion-focused diets are essential for gut health, eczema, and other skin conditions. For example, grains can be soaked in lemon water and cooked in an Instapot to reduce lectins and promote digestion. Focusing on digestion can help with conditions like eczema, as the digestive system plays a key role in nutrient absorption and symptom management.Creating a non-toxic home environment is vital for holistic eczema healing. This includes using natural cleaners (e.g., tea tree oil and vinegar), reducing EMF exposure, and addressing potential mold and water quality issues. Switching from plastic to glass or stainless steel in the kitchen, eliminating toxic chemicals from household items, and focusing on non-toxic materials for clothing can significantly improve eczema symptoms.QUOTES:         [8:53] “Eczema is an autoimmune, right?

Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - fsmsports365.com Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - frequencyspecific.com/getstarted 00:14 A Surprising Medical Case 03:08 Exploring Cranial Nerve Frequencies 04:31 Understanding Muscle Spasticity 06:40 Neurological Insights and Patient Education 09:19 FSM Practitioners and Complex Cases 14:10 Muscle Mechanics and Treatment Strategies 25:39 TMJ and Retrodiscal Tissue Treatment 29:13 Exploring TMJ and Facial Nerve Innervation 30:42 Understanding Trigeminal and Facial Nerve Functions 31:55 Upcoming Events and Notable Speakers 33:18 Heart Health and FSM Applications 43:38 Addressing Stenosis and FSM Treatment 52:19 Concluding Remarks and Next Steps Understanding Complex Neurological Cases The podcast opens with a fascinating case study involving a Ph.D. research biochemist who developed a condition known as Cavernous Hemangioma. This case illustrates the intricacies of treating fragile neurological conditions with FSM. The discussion delves into the importance of understanding cranial nerves and their frequencies, highlighting the necessity of increased secretions in nerves and innovative approaches to manage cranial nerve involvement. Practitioners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specifics of cranial nerve treatment, particularly how conditions such as thalamic pain can be influenced by surgery-related changes. Handling Muscle Spasticity and Weakness The session further delves into muscle management, emphasizing the concept of "tight weakness" and "stretch weakness" in muscle physiology. For medical practitioners, understanding the cellular mechanics, including the role of actin and myosin, can be crucial in diagnosing and managing spastic or chronically shortened muscles. The podcast underscores the benefit of FSM in increasing ATP for muscle relaxation and strengthening—both critical for optimal muscle function. Stenosis: Misconceptions and Treatment Strategies Stenosis, a common concern, is addressed with clarity, dismissing the myth that FSM is contraindicated for such conditions. Practitioners learn that understanding the mechanics of spinal fluid flow and managing inflammation are key to effective treatment. Special attention is given to cervical and lumbar stenosis, advising on how to approach these differently based on anatomical and physiological variances. Innovative Techniques for Treating Shoulder and TMJ Issues The podcast emphasizes the versatility of FSM in treating complex conditions like shoulder injuries and TMJ disorders. It introduces the idea of using specific frequencies for labrum and annular ligament issues, which can be potent in resolving chronic pain and dysfunction in shoulder and TMJ patients. Genetic and Mitochondrial Considerations in Treatment The session discusses a genetic condition, SPG7, shedding light on the importance of understanding genetic and mitochondrial contributions to disease progression. For practitioners, using FSM for abnormal protein accumulation and mitochondrial health can stave off advancement in otherwise degenerative conditions. Final Thoughts and Peer Involvement The concluding parts stress the importance of continuous learning and collaboration in the FSM community, urging practitioners to remain curious and collaborative, utilizing tools like Netter's Anatomy for inspiration. Sharing case studies and engaging in forums can enhance understanding and therapeutic outcomes in practice. By internalizing the teachings and discussions from this detailed podcast, medical practitioners can unlock new avenues for healing and patient care, integrating FSM into their standard practices for improved outcomes. As always, engagement with the FSM community for continued learning and sharing of knowledge is encouraged, helping to expand the collective understanding and effectiveness of FSM.

The ER with chronic conditions. Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard or my website https://www.annetteleonard.com I was recently absent from the podcast for several weeks. I was prescribed a new medication that had the side effect of headaches. As a person with daily migraines, that's something I flag. Enduring pain at unmanageable levels, I've been in isolation for a month because of the headaches that med kicked off. Ten days in, my doctor told me to go to the ER to check things out. The ER serves many functions for many people but it is never a place that handles chronic illness or chronic pain well. What happened when I got there (aside from all the lights, noise and waiting) was a terrible game of telephone. Things were inaccurately reported, diminished, and downplayed. I'm not sure what other way I couldn't have ruled out the things my doctor was afraid of without a trip to the ER, but I wish there was another way. For the times you, too, have had to receive treatment that wasn't so satisfying at the ER, I'm sorry. **I have a new mini-course I'm finishing about how to unlock the power of your next doctor appointment*** the first 50 people get FREE enrollment.
