Podcasts about French fries

In this solo episode, Melissa McAllister opens up about her unique approach to health and wellness—one rooted in longevity, not quick fixes or trends. She dives deep into why she's not chasing aesthetic perfection, high protein diets, or the most ripped physique, but instead focusing on living a longer, healthier life. Melissa revisits her decades-long journey with fasting, debunks common myths around fasted workouts, and explains why moderate protein intake might actually support a longer lifespan. Whether you're new to the idea of fasting or feeling pressure from the fitness world to chase unrealistic goals, Melissa offers grounded, evidence-informed insight you won't hear everywhere else.   Melissa McAllister FNTP, FNC, RWP I wasn't always a health nut – in fact, I used to be a French Fries and Pepsi connoisseur!

In this special solo episode of The Made Fitz Show, Melissa sits down to share her personal journey of living in Mexico—offering an honest, insider perspective on what it's really like to call both Cabo and Tulum home. After recently recording an inspiring interview with Gina Conley, a doula and fitness coach for pre- and postnatal women, Melissa felt called to hop back on the mic solo to answer one of the questions she gets asked most often: “What's it like living in Mexico?” Since purchasing a home in Cabo in November 2022, and later adding a second home in the jungles of Tulum in 2024, Melissa and her husband Mick have split their time between the desert landscape of Baja and the lush, vibrant coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula. In this episode, Melissa shares why they chose these two very different locations, what daily life is like in each, and how the communities, landscapes, and lifestyles compare. You'll hear about the quiet, pristine beauty of East Cape, Cabo—with its sweeping ocean views, whale sightings, and peaceful desert calm—and contrast that with the lively, bustling energy of Tulum, where cenotes, wildlife, and powder-soft beaches create a tropical wonderland. Melissa breaks down the pros and cons of both places, from accessibility and safety to amenities, activities, and the local culture. She also opens up about the realities of navigating real estate in Mexico, building homes, learning Spanish, and how she and Mick stay connected and safe as expats. Whether you're curious about relocating, buying property, or just dreaming of your next trip south of the border, this episode offers firsthand insight you won't want to miss.   Melissa McAllister FNTP, FNC, RWP I wasn't always a health nut – in fact, I used to be a French Fries and Pepsi connoisseur!

In this solo episode of The Made Fitz Show, Dr. Lauren Fitzpatrick responds to a listener's urgent question: how can you help a loved one recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes avoid the progression to type 2 diabetes? Dr. Fitz dives deep into the concept of insulin resistance — how it develops over years of poor metabolic habits, why it's so common (with nearly 88% of Americans showing signs of poor metabolic health), and most importantly, how it can be reversed. She breaks down how everyday dietary choices, constant snacking, and sedentary lifestyles silently contribute to rising insulin levels and what you can do to turn things around. You'll learn practical tips to monitor metabolic health, understand key lab values, and adopt simple habits — like walking more and ditching the "healthy" sugary breakfasts — to reclaim control over your health before it's too late.   Melissa McAllister FNTP, FNC, RWP I wasn't always a health nut – in fact, I used to be a French Fries and Pepsi connoisseur!

All you ever wanted to know about fries from the author of "The French Fry Companion."

In this episode of The Made Fit Show, we're thrilled to welcome Holly Bertone, a former FBI Chief of Staff in counterintelligence, who has completely transformed her career to become a certified holistic health coach. Holly's journey from navigating high-stakes government roles to empowering women to overcome emotional eating is nothing short of remarkable. After struggling with her own food-related challenges, Holly discovered that managing emotional eating is much like her former work in the FBI—it's all about identifying patterns and neutralizing threats. Now, Holly is on a mission to help high-achieving midlife women break free from the grips of emotional eating and defy the pressures of diet culture. She shares how her science-backed, non-restrictive approach empowers women to fuel their bodies for energy, health, and happiness without relying on willpower or extreme dieting tactics. Holly's unique perspective, shaped by her two decades in high-pressure government roles, allows her to offer fresh, actionable insights for those struggling with food struggles, stress, and the cycle of restrictive dieting. During this conversation, Holly opens up about her own personal transformation, including her experience with emotional eating while working at the FBI, where she found comfort in mindlessly eating M&Ms while powering through her work. She shares candid stories about the emotional connection to food, how it can affect our well-being, and how women can navigate their own journeys toward better health with a mindset shift. Whether you're a woman navigating the pressures of a high-achieving career, managing family responsibilities, or struggling to break free from food-related stress, Holly's empowering message will resonate with you. Tune in for an inspiring discussion filled with insights and practical strategies to help you reclaim your health, break free from emotional eating, and rebel against diet culture—all while living a balanced, fulfilling life. https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/about     This episode is sponsored by one of my favorite companies that I use every day - Kion  Go to the link to get 20% off https://www.getkion.com/made   Melissa McAllister FNTP, FNC, RWP I wasn't always a health nut – in fact, I used to be a French Fries and Pepsi connoisseur!

Nick Monard is a serial entrepreneur, travel agent, podcaster, and author based in Southwest Florida. After immigrating to the United States in 2013 with the goal of achieving the American dream, he became a leadership and mindset expert. With his unique perspective on success, travel, and influence, Nick has inspired many and penned the book Mindset Is My Degree.Welcome, Nick! Tell us a little about yourself.Thank you for having me! I'm originally from Belgium. When I first arrived in the United States, I spoke no English, which made navigating this new chapter quite a challenge. But it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and coming to the U.S. allowed me to channel that into extremely meaningful pursuits—like starting my travel agency and sharing my travel mental and professional journey through writing.Why did you want to move to the U.S.?At 9 years old, I came to visit Florida for three weeks and I came back obsessed with America. The American flag was all over my room and my dream board. At the top of my dream board, I wrote, “I will move to the United States one day.” I knew I was going to move to the U.S. one day. I finally moved to the U.S. at 33 years old, but it was all worth it.What was it like moving to the U.S. from Belgium?It was quite a polar cultural shift. Belgium is known for its history, architecture, and small-town historic charm, while the U.S. is much larger in scale and offers endless opportunities. Adjusting to a new language and lifestyle was tough, but it taught me resilience and adaptability—qualities that are central to my work today.What do you love most about Southwest Florida? Do you have any favorite spots?Southwest Florida is paradise! Palm Trees are “freedom” to me. The scenery, the weather, and the beaches are stunning, and the community is warm and welcoming. My favorite beach spots include Barefoot Beach, and Lovers Key State Park—they're perfect for relaxing and soaking in the natural beauty. As for food, I'm a fan of the Cooper's Hawk Restaurants in Naples and Fort Myers. For travelers visiting SWFL, what are your must-do recommendations?There's so much to explore! The beaches and islands like Sanibel and Captiva are stunning. I'd suggest staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples for a luxurious experience or trying out the smaller boutique hotels for a cozy vibe. Be sure to visit the Edison and Ford Winter Estates for some history and take a kayak tour through the mangroves at the Estero River Outfitters. And of course, don't miss out on the local seafood—it's some of the freshest you'll ever taste! The outlets and outdoor malls like 5th Avenue in Naples and Miromar Outlets in Estero have great shopping. You can even travel up to places like Siesta Key for extra adventures.What sparked your love of travel?It's in my DNA. Growing up in Europe and playing professional basketball, travel became a big part of my life. In Europe, countries are so close together. In the U.S. I traveled to New York, NOLA, Vegas, and other fun cities. I've always been curious about experiencing new cultures, meeting people, and seeing the world from different perspectives.What are your favorite places you've visited?I'd have to say Antarctica even though I hate cold weather! I took a Seabourn cruise through Antarctica and it was the best experience of my life. In Europe, Barcelona is my favorite city because it has everything. It has a fantastic beach, extravagant architecture, amazing city life, top-notch food, and a fantastic cruise port. I love Las Ramblas Boulevard for the “people watching” and music. I also love Budapest. It is a totally underrated city with extremely nice people and very affordable prices. People in Croatia are also extremely nice and beautiful. If you like beer and “real” French Fries, check out my home country of Belgium. Each place left a lasting impression on me for different reasons.What's your favorite way to travel?I'm a fan of cruising. There's nothing like waking up to a new destination every day without having to unpack and pack up again for the next spot. My two best-selling adult cruiseliners are Celebrity Cruises and Virgin Voyages. These cruise liners have great food and no kids! Virgin has a one-star Michelin chef onboard. Celebrity is very similar to top all-inclusive hotels. The service is top-notch and they have the best sea casino. I love smaller, luxury river cruises through Europe as well. You definitely need to experience Greece on a cruise. There are lots of small places that day trips are perfect for. Royal Caribbean's Caribbean island cruises are also great. I really love to cruise from California to Hawaii & Tahiti. I have also been on a 26-day cruise from Sydney Australia to San Francisco visiting all the islands along the way. Cruising is not the best option for people who want to experience all the nightlife of a city, however, certain cruises that go to places like Greece and Ibiza have night stops for travelers to enjoy the nightlife.  What are your favorite all-inclusive resorts or resort locations?Xcaret Mexico is one that I personally love. I believe it has the best beaches in Mexico and so many choices for food. They have literally a market where everything is fresh every morning, and when you walk towards the market, you just smell it ahead of you. The scenery is incredible. People always mention sandals. Some sandals are very nice and some are not great. In Jamaica, for example, they have a brand new Sandals Resort that is out of this world beautiful, but it's pretty expensive. It has water bungalows where the floor is transparent glass, and you can see the water and the fish. You also have your own little pool, and jacuzzi included in your bungalow. That is an experience everyone should do at least once. Many couples vacation there for honeymoons and anniversaries. Also, Bora Bora is perfect for travelers who love beaches and beautiful scenery on the water. Fiji is the fanciest spot. All hotels here are all-inclusive, butler included! You can only stay four nights maximum on the island and it costs eight to twelve thousand dollars a night—usually, people island-hop after stopping in Fiji. Fiji trips need to be booked a year and a half in advance. Tell us more about your business, Dream Vacations.I became a travel agent because people loved the places I traveled to and wanted to go themselves. I realized I needed a referral fee to set their vacations up. I've been in the travel business for several years now with Dream Vacations, a franchise under World Travel Holdings. As a luxury travel concierge, I go beyond basic planning to create customized, seamless experiences for my clients. My goal is to make every trip unforgettable. The best part for the customer is it doesn't cost them extra to use a travel agent. What most people do not know is travel agent service fees are always included in your booking fee whether you use a travel agent or not. Using a travel agent like me, you do not lose any extra money in fees and you can find the best cruises, hotels, and trips in the world!What does your planning process look like?It all starts with a conversation. I ask my clients about their interests, goals, group size, and must-have sites and experiences. From there, I focus on delivering value and finding options that balance quality and budget. I use Dream Vacations to book travel and activities while keeping an eye out for deals without compromising a high-quality experience.Lastly, where can our readers find and connect with you?You can find me on Instagram and Facebook at @NickMonardTravel or visit my website at dreamvacations.com.
