Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. 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) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected.  Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES:         (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - 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 InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

Ever feel like you're watching life through your phone screen instead of actually living it?

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.

You seem a little worried."Hi: रौशन मुस्कुराने की कोशिश करता है, पर निशा की नज़रें उसकी असलियत पकड़ लेती हैं।En: रौशन tries to smile, but निशा's eyes catch the truth.Hi: वह धीरे से कहता है, "%बस थोड़ा थका हुआ लगता है।"En: He quietly says, "%Just feeling a bit tired."Hi: निशा उससे कहती है, "%तुम्हें डॉक्टर से मिलना चाहिए।En: निशा tells him, "%You should see a doctor.Hi: इस तरह खुद को परेशान मत किया करो।"En: Don't keep troubling yourself like this."Hi: रौशन थोड़ी देर तक सोचता है, और फिर खुद से कहता है कि वह बाद में डॉक्टर के पास जाएगा।En: रौशन thinks for a while and then tells himself that he will go to the doctor later.Hi: वह एक प्रमोशन की तरफ भी देख रहा था।En: He was also eyeing a promotion.Hi: उसका ध्यान इससे हट नहीं पा रहा था।En: His focus couldn't shift from it.Hi: कुछ दिन बाद, ऑफिस में होली का कार्यक्रम था।En: A few days later, there was a Holi event at the office.Hi: रंगों से भरी एक मस्तीभरी दोपहर।En: A fun-filled afternoon full of colors.Hi: हर कोई रंगों में लिप्त था।En: Everyone was drenched in colors.Hi: रौशन भी वहां था, पर उसकी तबीयत नासाज़ चल रही थी।En: रौशन was also there, but he was not feeling well.Hi: अचानक, उसे चक्कर आ गया और वह लड़खड़ा गया।En: Suddenly, he felt dizzy and staggered.Hi: हंगामा मच गया।En: There was commotion.Hi: निशा दौड़कर उसके पास आई और उसे संभाला।En: निशा ran to him and supported him.Hi: अरुण, उसका बॉस भी वहां आ गया।En: Arun, his boss, also arrived there.Hi: सारी भीड़ उसकी तरफ देखने लगी।En: The entire crowd started looking at him.Hi: निशा ने कंधे पर हाथ रखते हुए कहा, "%तुम्हें डॉक्टर से मिलना पड़ेगा। और इसमें कोई चूक नहीं होगी।"En: निशा placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "%You have to see a doctor, and there will be no excuse about it."Hi: अरुण ने स्थिति को देखते हुए कहा, "%रौशन, मैं जानता हूँ तुम मेहनती हो।En: Seeing the situation, अरुण said, "%रौशन, I know you are hardworking.Hi: पर हम तुम्हारी सेहत को जोखिम में नहीं डाल सकते।En: But we cannot put your health at risk.Hi: तुम आराम करो और जब ठीक हो जाओ तब वापस आओ।"En: You take rest and come back when you're well."Hi: रौशन ने धीरे से सिर हिलाया और निशा की मदद से डॉक्टर के पास जाने का फैसला किया।En: रौशन slowly nodded and decided, with निशा's help, to visit the doctor.Hi: कुछ ही दिनों में उसकी रिपोर्ट्स आ गईं, और जैसी कि आशंका थी, उसे मधुमेह के शुरुआती लक्षण थे।En: Within a few days, his reports came, and as suspected, he had early symptoms of diabetes.Hi: लेकिन वह समय पर जान चुका था और उपचार शुरू कर चुका था।En: But he had found out in time and had started treatment.Hi: अब रौशन ऑफिस लौटा।En: Now रौशन returned to the office.Hi: वह पहले से ज्यादा मुस्कुराता था।En: He smiled more than before.Hi: काम और स्वास्थ्य की जिम्मेदारियों में संतुलन बना चुका था।En: He had balanced the responsibilities of work and health.Hi: अरुण और निशा दोनों उसकी मदद के लिए वहां थे।En: अरुण and निशा, both were there to help him.Hi: उसने समझ लिया था कि काम के साथ स्वास्थ्य को भी प्राथमिकता देना कितना जरूरी है।En: He realized how important it is to prioritize health along with work.Hi: उसके इस साहस ने दोस्तों और ऑफिस के वातावरण को भी बदलकर रख दिया था।En: His courage changed not only himself but also the atmosphere among friends and in the office.Hi: होली के उस दिन की याद अब एक नई शुरुआत की तरह उसकी जिंदगी में बस गई थी।En: The memory of that Holi day had now become a new beginning in his life.

Could the right form of a single vitamin be the difference between thriving and barely surviving? In this Part 2 conversation, human biologist and longevity expert Gary Brecka reveals the #1 overlooked factor that's wrecking your health: methylation—your body's ability to convert nutrients into fuel. If this process fails, your hormones, energy, and even mental health take a nosedive. Gary and Dave dive deep into the real cause of anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders, the hidden genetic reason why diets fail, and why Big Pharma isn't talking about this critical health breakthrough. Are you unknowingly setting yourself up for disease? What's the simple fix that can reverse anxiety, gut problems, and even prevent genetic disease? And why is your doctor ignoring one of the biggest markers of longevity? What You'll Learn: • The MTHFR gene mutation—and why it's quietly affecting millions • Anxiety, ADHD, and depression—why these disorders start in your cells, not your brain • The gut-brain connection—how your microbiome controls your mood • Why your “healthy diet” might be hurting you (and what to eat instead) • How nutrient deficiencies are passed from mother to child—and how to stop it • The truth about homocysteine—the blood marker that could predict your lifespan • Why most people are living at 50% capacity—and how to get your energy back Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Gary Brecka's Website: https://bit.ly/4hlfyti • Gary Brecka's YouTube: https://bit.ly/3E3Aaba • Gary Brecka's Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PNsgFe • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com • The Mold Movie!: https://moldymovie.com/ SPONSORS: -BON CHARGE | Go to https://boncharge.com/ and use coupon code DAVE to save 15%. -Qualia | Go to https://www.qualialife.com/dave15 to get an additional 15% off subscriptions.

So you have to have your goals and have your visions and have your dreams, and then also make sure that you're doing little check-ins with how it's going so you can go with it. Lesley Logan 0:10  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:51  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the enriching convo I had with Kristin Mallon in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now and go back and listen to that one, or listen to this one, then listen to that one. It's really okay. I know people don't like spoilers, but there's no spoilers here. It's just sometimes hearing things twice really helps you. And also I really wanted to have her on to talk medicine and health, and at the end, I really, we like went a whole different direction that changed my whole day. It changed my whole mood. I'm really into it. Brad Crowell 1:23  Yeah, it was a really fun conversation. And also, I was surprised having the other partner from FemGevity, I don't know, a hundred episodes ago? And then I didn't realize that Kristin was in the lineup too. So that's really cool. Lesley Logan 1:35  Yeah. Well, we're obsessed with FemGevity and this is not the ad that will run later, but you guys seriously, seriously, may this be the year that you take care of your health. Please. Come on. Lesley Logan 1:44  So today is January 30th 2025 and it's National Draw a Dinosaur Day. Brad Crowell 1:49  Oh, that's right. Say it one more time. Lesley Logan 1:50  It's National Draw a Dinosaur Day. Brad Crowell 1:52  Yeah, you heard that, right. Lesley Logan 1:53  Shout out to your nephew, our nephew, I guess, right? It's our nephew. We call him Ace. He calls himself Bubba. He got, like, a dinosaur, I don't know, shark, kind of hoodie, and he just walk around the house going, roar, right? And I just thought it was the freaking cutest thing. He's like, not even three. I was like, that is adorable. But do you want to know something? I have a journal that's like, doodle. What your doodle something here today? And I was like, how do I even doodle anymore? Like, I don't even have a pen anymore to doodle with, so I thought it'd be fun. And I think it's kind of in alignment with Kristin, because she had such a wonderful idea of like so what? Go draw a dinosaur, see what comes out, and throw it away if you don't like it. But National Draw a Dinosaur Day celebrates the mysticism and magic that surrounds these magnificent animals that once roamed the world eons ago. On this day, kids and adults paint and sketch all types of dinosaurs, cute, scary, jovial, wicked, etc, and have fun while doing it. So get creative. Have so much fun. By the way, this reel came across my Instagram that people are finding dinosaur bones all the time. They're finding them all the time, like you can just find them they're around. Brad Crowell 3:00  That's crazy. Lesley Logan 3:00  I know. I think that's really insane. People said to him, I don't find him. He's like, well, are you looking for them like you're not just gonna stumble, like you're just not gonna walk across. Brad Crowell 3:07  I don't find them. I don't find them. Where's my dinosaur from? Lesley Logan 3:11  Where's my dinosaur? Where's the fucking entitlement some people's comments online. I just want to go, what? Who raised you, what? And then I don't even want to blame their parents, because, anyways, whatever. Go draw a dinosaur. Lesley Logan 3:24  All right, upcoming, we are two weeks away from leaving for Cambodia for our February retreat, which means our October retreat is on the countdown, and you need to sign up for our October retreat and join us at crowsnestretreats.com. We're going in October. And if you keep saying, oh, next time, next time. This is your next time. Brad Crowell 3:41  This is your next time. You should totally join us. You know, we love this place. The experience continues to get better. We even have a few opportunities to join us before and after the retreat for some extracurricular activities. So if you are, like, super adventurous and a big hiker, hit us up, because we may be planning some things that we usually don't get to include in the retreat just because there isn't enough time, but we still like to go do them ourselves, and you might (inaudible) Lesley Logan 4:09  Smaller groups, but you know, we want to have a big group, because it's a big family, so come and then stay a little longer and have some fun with this. Brad Crowell 4:15  Yeah, what's coming up in April? Lesley Logan 4:17  So we have a spring training guys, and this is not baseball, but think baseball. So we're gonna do a really fun spring training in April, because it's all about Pilates. And spring training is, like, a couple weeks long in Arizona, and we're gonna do it online in a week, and it's gonna be for any Pilates lover of any level. We're bringing all the OPC teachers in on this. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So we'll have more details for you, but if you go to opc.me/events, you won't miss out on any of those details, and you'll be sure to hear about things first, in case there's anything special you could sign up for ahead of time. Brad Crowell 4:46  All right, for those of you who run a Pilates business, okay, that is a studio owner or a home studio owner, or if you are renting space for someone, if you are taking money from your own clients, technically, you run a Pilates business, and we are here to help you. Profitable Pilates, Lesley and I have been coaching businesses just like yours, just like ours, for more than seven years now. We literally have coached more than 2500 business owners just like you. And I am running a free webinar. We want to invite you to it, go to prfit.biz/accelerator where you're going to learn the three biggest secrets that we have uncovered after having been asked countless questions, creating so much content and creating so many courses and coach so many different people just like you. So come to this webinar. Come join us. You'll be able to put these into practice in your own business and move things forward. So go to prfit.biz/accelerator that's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator. All right, finally. Lesley Logan 5:46  Finally, we have the last and final deck. It's getting closer and closer to the pre sale. And so if you want to nerd out on the accessories, and by the way, this deck is as universal as the mat deck is. Yes, there's a guillotine and a Ped-o-Pull in there, and don't let those words scare you. But most of the deck are things you can make from things at home or use household items or the props are not very expensive to purchase. And if you go to, where do they go, Brad, for this actually? Brad Crowell 6:15  Yeah, go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. Lesley Logan 6:17  Oh yeah, that's why I blocked it from my mind, because my list (inaudible) stuff doesn't like flashcard waitlist. It doesn't like that combo. So go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist to get on it. So you get the amazing presale price when that happens, and it's going to be in the next couple of months. So it's all around the corner. Lesley Logan 6:38  All right, we are going to get into Kristin's amazingness, but first we have a question from the audience. Brad Crowell 6:43  Yeah, we do, YouTube here, @etain.pilates asks, "Is it better to put the box over the shoulder blocks over gearing out the carriage if it has that option?" So obviously, we're talking about the short box on the reformer. Lesley Logan 6:59  Yeah, this actually came from a question on a question. So we actually did a live. We go live every Sunday on 9 am Pacific Time, you guys, on YouTube. So for my people who are listening to this podcast for Pilates, then Sundays at 9 am you want to join us for our live, where we answer your questions, unless you're an OPC member, then we answer them in the community, of course. Answered a question about, like, where the box goes for short box, because honestly, on the tour, I kept seeing people put the box in the wrong spot for their height. Brad Crowell 7:27  Yes. Lesley Logan 7:27  So here is the deal, my loves, I don't care what style of Pilates you're teaching, I don't care what reformer you are on, the box placement matters. It actually needs to help you have long, strong legs while doing the short box. And so if you were on the shorter side, you put the box in front of the shoulder blocks. If you're on the taller side, it's gonna go over the shoulder blocks. Usually there is a peg, a peg sent a little Canadian. There a peg and a shoulder block. There's like a peg. Brad Crowell 7:52  Oh a peg. I did not understand that. Lesley Logan 7:53  There's a peg. Can't say it peg and shoulder block. And there's space in there for the box. Please be kind to the box. Put it there. What etain is asking is because in that video, I talked about how you could also gear out to create more space for the legs. And so she's asking, is it better to gear out versus put the box over the shoulder blocks? And what I will say is, it's better to go over the shoulder blocks, if you can. Now, if for whatever reason, your box would be uneven or unsteady or unsafe, then obviously gearing out is fine, but ideally it is much faster just with a box over the shoulder blocks than it is to gear the carriage out. Remember, in Pilates, no matter what your style is, you're trying to actually allow for each exercise to flow into the next. You don't want that much time in between setting your equipment up because you lose your connections. All right? I hope that answers it. Send your questions in to us, and we'll answer them. Here, you can send personal questions, then you can send Pilates questions, and you can send whatever you want. We'll answer them. Brad Crowell 8:52  Yeah, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into this awesome convo that Lesley had with Kristin Mallon, the co-founder of FemGevity. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 9:00  Okay, welcome back. Now, let's talk about Kristin Mallon. Kristin is a certified nurse midwife and certified obstetrical nurse, and she's passionate about advancing women's health and well-being. She's the co-founder of FemGevity. She focuses on providing personalized healthcare solutions that address the unique needs of women throughout different stages in life. With over 20 years of experience, Kristin combines medical expertise with integrative approaches to empower women in optimizing their health and longevity. Lesley Logan 9:32  Yeah, talk about integrative. First of all, the first thing that I say that I love is we talked about a shared mindset and practice of redefining situations and challenges. So she said specifically to watch your definitions. For example, instead of saying it's hard to do X, she said, use phrases like, I'm working on doing X. I'm getting better at doing X or improving my X. It's a different definition than it's hard. What a great way to catch yourself. And you can actually include people in your family about this. You can say, if you ever hear me say, I can't, or it's not possible, or it's hard, then stop me so I can say, I'm working on, I'm getting better at, I'm improving. And see how that changes your brain waves and your energy. Brad Crowell 10:15  Yeah, it was, like you said at the beginning here, she is a wealth of medical knowledge, especially around female health, you kicked off the whole conversation going through a whole bunch of stuff that she's very excited about, and also a whole bunch of things that she sees industry-wide that are still, you know, needing to come up to speed. But then pretty quickly, the conversation shifted over to like mentality and philosophy, your approach to life, and her approach to life, and then her approach to being in a business having a partner, I just thought it was really fun. It was a great convo to dig into how she sees things while coaching people all around the country through her company. One thing I love that she said was she was talking about being in the moment, and how do you embrace the things that you are struggling with, whether that is your health or I can't remember a specific example, but she said, you know, when she finds herself getting frustrated, she has to remind herself the circumstances around the event don't matter. What matters is that the thing happened right? The state of being matters. So circumstances don't matter. Only the state of being matters. And what she means is that when you look at it that way, the state of being makes your circumstances. You view them differently. It's not what happens, it's what you do with what happens. Right? Things are going to happen, especially things that we don't have any control over, and it's what we do with those things that changes our perspective, our mental output. It even like, affects our body. Lesley Logan 11:41  Absolutely affects our body, but also, like, you know, you hear about these things all the time, like somebody was like, something bad happened to them, and then they created this big company that makes sure that no one else goes for that. I think, you know, if we can, not in a toxic positivity way, not that at all, but just in recognizing that this happened. Okay, take your grief, do your things, and then what are you gonna do about that and having that positive reframing around it so that you can change other people's lives, even. Brad Crowell 12:12  Yeah, she talked about how she views life is like being in a river, going with the flow of the river, versus trying to paddle in a specific pattern, like, if I only paddle in this way, I know I'm gonna get there, whatever there is, but we still don't have control over the river, and the river is gonna take us where we're going. So instead of head down and completely ignoring everything around us, get excited about the things that you're excited about and understand where the flow of life is taking you. My buddy said it to me 15 years ago when we were talking about music. I really, really wanted to get signed by a record label. And he's like, hey, man, each of these projects that we do, it's like a wave, and you just have to ride the wave. And I was like, I don't surf, you know, but obviously missed the point there. And the way that Kris is talking about it here is it's a river. We don't have control over the shape of the river. We are in the river, right? And what we can do is go with the flow. Lesley Logan 13:06  Yeah, yeah. I think that the ride in the wave, Brad, is just because, like, if you got get signed before the wave peaks, then you might miss it all together. If you are too late, then you get tumbled and crap. Like, there's a whole, there's a bunch of different things (inaudible) Brad Crowell 13:19  Or you could bail out of the wave before the wave crests, and then you might not have taken it as far as it could go. So. Lesley Logan 13:26  Yeah, you got to be in tune with things. So you have to, like, have your goals and have your visions and have your dreams, and then also make sure that you're doing little check-ins with how it's going so you can go with it. I think it's brilliant. I think it's very difficult. And so if you're like, ooh, I want to do this, just so you know, you're gonna fail many times at trying, and that's okay, because you are improving on flowing with the river. You are, what is it? You are working on flowing with the river, and you are getting better at flowing with the river. Brad Crowell 13:26  Yeah and look, if the river is at a standstill, then you better start paddling, you know? Lesley Logan 13:59  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a time and a place for all of it. I just adored her and I appreciated her honesty and thoughtfulness around women's health. I like that she was very specific. And also, here's where things can improve, and here's where things are really great, and there is access. You know? Now more than ever, there's access. Now we just have to go do it. And that can be hard for the women listening. It can be hard to prioritize your health and make sure that you are scheduling these appointments, and for you, you are actually making this a priority versus oh, I've got to do this thing in the house. I've got to call this person. Oh, we've got to do this. We got to do this staycation. I'll do it after. I'll do it when I get back. I'll do it next year. As a Pilates instructor, I can say, there are certain things that the sooner you come to Pilates, the easier it is for us to mitigate the things that you're wanting to mitigate. There's ways to improve your posture before it is not so changeable. The same goes for your health. Some of these things, the longer you wait, it's harder to get them back to where they're supposed to be. So, take advantage. Lesley Logan 15:01  All right, we have some, Be It Action Items, don't we, Brad? Brad Crowell 15:03  We sure do. So stick around. We'll be right back for those Be It Action Items. Brad Crowell 15:07  All right, welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Kristin Mallon. She said, hey, the best thing you could do right now is figure out your gut health by taking a gut test. And she said they're still figuring out the industry-wide standard but, generally speaking, she said, if you go in and talk to your doctor and you ask for a GI-MAP test, they will understand what that is, and they will know what you're asking for. Okay, so a GI-MAP test. She said it's really comprehensive. It gives you a clear picture of what's actually happening in your gut health, and it should allow you then draw conclusions. If the conclusions that are being drawn aren't making sense to you, you can take that GI-MAP test to somebody else, such as FemGevity and they should be able to help out. She said, GI-MAP and GI effects are the standard gut tests. So GI-MAP and GI effects. GI-MAP is by Diagnostic Solutions. GI effects is by Genova Diagnostics. So she said, generally, avoid the over the counter gut tests. They're not comprehensive enough. She also said that, you know, the tests about, what was it? What with the generational ancestry mapping or something? Lesley Logan 16:21  Oh yeah, ancestry.com, that kind of. Brad Crowell 16:22  It was the other one. I can't remember, but anyway, she said, you know, that's like the most basic of basic.Lesley Logan 16:28  Like 23andMe? Brad Crowell 16:29  Yes, yeah, I think it was 23andMe. She said choose licensed medical providers to get accurate information as they use PCR testing, which covers a wide range of pathogens, including yeast parasites and dysbiosis. So I'm sure you all remember PCR from COVID years. That's the first time I ever even understood what that was. And apparently it's just the medical thing that's always been around for other things, too. Lesley Logan 16:52  Other things. Brad Crowell 16:52  How about that? Lesley Logan 16:53  And also, like, I really want to emphasize, like, choose licensed medical providers. There's a lot of people out there who are able to do lots of things, but they're not using all of these amazing tests, and that can create confusion. So make sure you're using people like FemGevity who can really make sure that you're getting the full map. I am currently on a round of stuff because of my GI-MAP test that I did with them. We did a second one to make sure everything was good. And whoo, this is not the most fun experience, but that's not their fault. We're getting rid of some shit, and not specifically shit. We're actually getting rid of bacteria. Bacteria in my gut. At any rate, I've been trying to get rid of this for years, and this is the first time I've been able to get someone who can.Brad Crowell 17:37  Identify and understand what's going on. Lesley Logan 17:38  Identify it and give me the appropriate medications to let go of it. So yeah. Brad Crowell 17:42  And this is not the first time that you've had like, a revelatory conclusion drawn by them, and then. Lesley Logan 17:47  No, because the reason this exists. Brad Crowell 17:47  Because you've been with them for what, like almost a year now? Lesley Logan 17:51  Almost a year, almost a year, we're at, like, eight months, nine months, this particular thing was just because we actually did a second test to make sure we got everything, and this little bugger is stuck around, so we get to do it again, and that's not fun. But you know what? I'm super grateful I have them to do this test, because now I know it's not something new, it's something old that's just hanging on. Brad Crowell 18:13  Yep. Lesley Logan 18:13  We're working on improving it. Brad Crowell 18:14  Yeah. Well, what was your biggest takeaway? Lesley Logan 18:16  Okay, this is the coolest thing. This is definitely for my people who are struggling to make a decision, whenever in doubt, follow your highest excitement in any given situation. So there's no insistence or assumption to the outcome, but use it as a bread crumb trail that will lead you to your biggest and best self. So when you're in doubt of like, what to do? Where is the excitement coming from and follow that. And I think that that's really cool, and I also think that that's probably the uncertainty choice, but it's the one that you're most excited about. And when you're excited about something, you'll do it. Trust us. Brad and I have a project that he's going to work on this weekend with the laundry and four and a half years later, so clearly not excited about it, but now we're going to get excited.Brad Crowell 19:00  Now we're excited. Lesley Logan 19:00  Now we're excited. We're getting excited. Brad Crowell 19:02  I got excited, took action, and it's all happening. Lesley Logan 19:04  Yes, yes. But you know, that's what happens when you follow the other thing. So follow your highest excitement. I adored her. I want to be friends with her. I want to be friends with her and Michele. I want to hang out. I just think that they're the greatest and what a cool partnership that they are. And I was just, really wanted to start the year off with her. So you guys, you know what to do. You have to share, send a review, give us to a friend. Let Kristin and the Be It Pod know your favorite takeaways. We want to know them. They're really, really fun for us. Brad Crowell 19:31  Yeah. Tag FemGevity. Tag Lesley. Tag Be It Pod. Lesley Logan 19:35  Yeah, yep. If you have no idea how to tag, then just do what you know how to do to get the compliment out there.

And if you tell them we sent you, then you are going to also get 20% off your first month, I believe. So there you go. Brad Crowell 19:56  Yeah. So we'll put that link in the show notes as well. Lesley Logan 19:58  Yeah, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 20:01  Yeah.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Courage Under Pressure: A Winter's Tale at the Museum Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-01-18-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Budapest Természettudományi Múzeum szombati látogatói szokásos hideg téli napra készültek.En: The visitors at the Budapest Természettudományi Múzeum on Saturday were prepared for an ordinary cold winter day.Hu: A vastag kabátokba bújt emberek eltűnődve sétáltak a kiállítások között, amikor Zoltán, a múzeum gondos kurátora, szokásos ellenőrzéseit végezte.En: People bundled up in thick coats strolled contemplatively among the exhibits, as Zoltán, the museum's diligent curator, conducted his usual inspections.Hu: Az elégedettség érzése töltötte el, ahogy a múzeum történeteit és relikviáit bemutató termekben bóklászott.En: A sense of satisfaction filled him as he wandered the halls showcasing the museum's stories and relics.Hu: A csillagos égbolt alatt az ősi dinoszaurusz csontvázak szinte életre keltek a gyerekek csodálkozó tekintete alatt.En: Under the starry sky, the ancient dinosaur skeletons seemed to come to life under the wide-eyed gazes of the children.Hu: A tömegben Katalin is ott volt, egy kíváncsi orvostanhallgató, aki inspirációt keresett az újabbévi tanulmányaihoz.En: In the crowd was Katalin, a curious medical student seeking inspiration for her New Year's studies.Hu: Szerette a múzeum varázsát, a történelem és a tudomány kereszteződését.En: She loved the museum's charm, the intersection of history and science.Hu: Ugyanakkor, a tanulás mellett remélte, hogy egyszer majd önbizalmát is megerősítheti a valós életben szerzett tapasztalataival.En: At the same time, alongside her studies, she hoped to bolster her confidence with real-life experiences.Hu: Eközben Árpád, a szomszédos VIII.En: Meanwhile, Árpád, a teacher from the neighboring @hu{VIII.Hu: kerületi iskola tanára, diákjait vezette végig a termeken.En: kerületi} school, was guiding his students through the rooms.Hu: Szigorúan figyelte őket, de bűvölték mind a kiállítások, mind a gyerekek kérdései.En: He watched them strictly but was captivated both by the exhibits and the children's questions.Hu: Bár kívülről lelkesnek látszott, belül félt: az egészsége már nem volt a régi, és a téli hideg fokozta ezt az aggodalmát.En: Although he appeared enthusiastic outwardly, inwardly he was worried: his health was not what it used to be, and the winter cold heightened his concern.Hu: Ahogy a csoport a történelem nagy eseményei előtt haladt el, hirtelen zavar keletkezett.En: As the group passed by major historical events, a sudden disturbance occurred.Hu: Árpád arca elhalványult, és térdre rogyott.En: Árpád's face paled, and he collapsed to his knees.Hu: A diákok és a látogatók pánikba estek, a múzeumtermek csendes zúgása érces zajjá alakult.En: The students and visitors panicked, and the quiet hum of the museum rooms turned into a clanging noise.Hu: Zoltán, mindig a professzionalizmus megtestesítője, gyorsan reagált.En: Zoltán, always the embodiment of professionalism, reacted quickly.Hu: Azonnal elterelte a tömeget az esettől, miközben gondoskodott arról, hogy a mentőszolgálat útja szabad legyen.En: He immediately diverted the crowd from the incident while ensuring that the path for emergency services was clear.Hu: Katalin a szituáció láttán hezitált, majd döntött: segít.En: Seeing the situation, Katalin hesitated, then decided to help.Hu: Bár csak hallgató volt, tanulmányi tudása a gyakorlatban hamarosan megmérettetett.En: Even though she was just a student, her academic knowledge was soon put to the test in practice.Hu: Azonnal Árpádhoz sietett, megvizsgálta állapotát, és minden bátorságát összeszedve cselekedett.En: She quickly rushed to Árpád, assessed his condition, and mustered all her courage to act.Hu: Gyorsan cselekvőképes orvosi beavatkozással stabilizálta Árpádot egészen a mentők megérkezéséig.En: With prompt medical intervention, she stabilized Árpád until the paramedics arrived.Hu: A látogatók elismeréssel látták Katalin nyugalmát és szakértelmét.En: The visitors watched with admiration at Katalin's composure and expertise.Hu: Zoltán végre megnyugodott: Katalin bátorsága és az incidens felett szerzett tanulságai megmentették a múzeum hírnevét.En: Zoltán finally felt relieved: Katalin's courage and the lessons learned from the incident saved the museum's reputation.Hu: Árpád gyors ellátást és figyelmet kapott a kórházban, és később visszatért, hogy kifejezze háláját.En: Árpád received prompt care and attention at the hospital and later returned to express his gratitude.Hu: Az eset Zoltánt arra késztette, hogy jobban bízzon a fiatal tehetségekben, és lehetőséget adott Katalinnak a múzeumban való további közreműködésre és tanulásra.En: The incident prompted Zoltán to place greater trust in young talents and gave Katalin the opportunity to continue collaborating and learning at the museum.Hu: Katalin érezte, hogy tettével nemcsak segített, hanem jövője irányába is lépett.En: Katalin felt that with her actions, she not only helped but also took a step toward her future.Hu: Árpád, tanácsukat megfogadva, új elhatározással tért vissza: a saját egészségére jobban ügyel majd.En: In taking their advice to heart, Árpád returned with a new resolve: to take better care of his own health.Hu: A múzeum visszanyerte a megszokott nyugalmát, a folyosókon azonban Árpád története és Katalin bátorsága sokáig beszédtéma maradt.En: The museum regained its usual tranquility, but in the halls, Árpád's story and Katalin's bravery remained a topic of conversation for a long time.Hu: Így derült ki, hogy a hideg téli nap egyszer csak a lehetőségek napjaként íródott be a múzeum történetébe.En: Thus, it turned out that the cold winter day became known as a day of opportunity in the museum's history.

Are chemicals secretly harming our kids?A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reveals a critical public health concern: chronic diseases are now the top cause of illness and death among children in the U.S. and Europe. The study highlights synthetic chemicals as a major contributor to this alarming trend.With over 350,000 chemicals and plastics in use globally—and less than 20% tested for safety—children's health may be at unprecedented risk. These chemicals invade our everyday lives, even crossing the placenta, and disproportionately affect developing bodies.Authored by 25 leading experts from 17 institutions, the study calls for urgent changes to chemical regulations to protect future generations.What's really in our environment, and how can we protect our families?

Story Transcript:Da: Det var en vinterdag, og sneen dækkede blidt jorden udenfor den lokale valgsted.En: It was a winter day, and the snow gently covered the ground outside the local polling station.Da: Indenfor i fælleshuset var stemningen varm og forventningsfuld.En: Inside the community hall, the atmosphere was warm and expectant.Da: Folk stod i kø, godt pakket ind i deres vinterjakker og halstørklæder, mens eventyrlyset glitrede langs væggene i anledning af julen.En: People stood in line, well wrapped in their winter jackets and scarves, while the festive lights glimmered along the walls in celebration of Christmas.Da: Søren stod i kø, mens han kiggede rundt og lyttede til lyden af dæmpet samtale og lejlighedsvise latterudbrud.En: Søren stood in line, looking around and listening to the sound of muted conversation and occasional bursts of laughter.Da: Det var vigtigt for ham at stemme.En: It was important for him to vote.Da: Han følte en stærk forpligtelse til at gøre sin del som borger.En: He felt a strong obligation to do his part as a citizen.Da: Men i dag følte han sig anderledes.En: But today he felt different.Da: En uforklarlig svimmelhed skyllede over ham, og han greb fat i den nærmeste stolpe for at stabilisere sig selv.En: An inexplicable dizziness washed over him, and he grabbed the nearest post to steady himself.Da: Det var Freja, hans nabo, der havde lagt mærke til ham.En: It was Freja, his neighbor, who had noticed him.Da: Hun havde en god evne til at observere folk, og hun så straks, at noget ikke var, som det skulle være.En: She had a keen ability to observe people, and she immediately saw that something was off.Da: Hun gik hen til ham og sagde blidt, "Hej Søren, du ser ikke frisk ud.En: She went over to him and gently said, "Hey Søren, you don't look well.Da: Er du okay?"En: Are you okay?"Da: Søren tvang sig selv til at smile og svarede, "Jeg har det fint, tak.En: Søren forced himself to smile and replied, "I'm fine, thanks.Da: Bare lidt træt," men hans hvide ansigt forrådte ham.En: Just a bit tired," but his pale face betrayed him.Da: Freja tøvede ikke med at fortsætte.En: Freja did not hesitate to continue.Da: "Lad mig hjælpe dig.En: "Let me help you.Da: Du behøver ikke gøre det alene."En: You don't have to do it alone."Da: Han var stædig og ønskede ikke at trække opmærksomhed til sig selv.En: He was stubborn and did not want to draw attention to himself.Da: Men da svimmelheden blev værre, og han vaklede, gav han modstræbende efter for hendes tilbud.En: But as the dizziness worsened and he staggered, he reluctantly accepted her offer.Da: "Okay, måske lidt hjælp ville være godt," sagde han stille.En: "Okay, maybe a little help would be good," he said quietly.Da: Da de nærmede sig stemmeboksen, blev Søren mere svimmel.En: As they approached the voting booth, Søren became more dizzy.Da: Han kunne næsten ikke stå oprejst.En: He could barely stand upright.Da: Idet han var ved at falde, greb Freja fast om hans arm og førte ham hen til en nærliggende stol.En: As he was about to fall, Freja firmly grasped his arm and led him to a nearby chair.Da: "Sid ned og hvile, Søren.En: "Sit down and rest, Søren.Da: Jeg går med dig ind, når du får det bedre."En: I'll go with you when you feel better."Da: Freja's venlighed og beslutsomhed hjalp Søren til sidst for at gennemføre sin stemmeafgivelse.En: Freja's kindness and determination ultimately helped Søren complete his voting.Da: Derefter, med hendes overtalelse, gik han med til at tage en tur til klinikken.En: Afterwards, with her persuasion, he agreed to take a trip to the clinic.Da: "Det er vigtigt at tage sig af sig selv," sagde Freja, mens de gik sammen.En: "It's important to take care of yourself," said Freja as they walked together.Da: Efter lægetjekket følte Søren sig lettet.En: After the medical check-up, Søren felt relieved.Da: Resultaterne var ikke alvorlige, men lægerne gav ham klare råd.En: The results were not serious, but the doctors gave him clear advice.Da: Med Frejas hjælp havde han ikke kun stemt, men også taget et vigtigt skridt for sin sundhed.En: With Freja's help, he had not only voted but also taken an important step for his health.Da: Fra den dag af, Søren begyndte at forstå vigtigheden af at konfrontere sine helbredsmæssige bekymringer direkt, og han blev mere åben for at acceptere hjælp fra dem omkring ham.En: From that day on, Søren began to understand the importance of confronting his health concerns directly, and he became more open to accepting help from those around him.Da: Stemningen på valgstedet havde mindet ham om fællesskabets værdi—en gave der, ligesom julen, handlede om at stå sammen og passe på hinanden.En: The atmosphere at the polling station had reminded him of the value of community—a gift that, like Christmas, was about standing together and taking care of one another.

Guest Introduction In today's powerful episode, we're joined by Marisa Peters, founder of BCM and an advocate for colorectal cancer awareness, and David Thau, a dedicated fundraiser and speaker for young-onset cancer initiatives. Both Marisa and David are cancer survivors who are transforming their experiences into a mission for change, focusing on the importance of early detection, health conversations, and self-advocacy. They share insights on managing health risks, knowing the symptoms, and taking proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. Episode Topic The Life-Saving Impact of Early Detection and Family Health Advocacy in Preventing Colorectal Cancer Top Three Takeaways Early detection through screening is essential; colonoscopy remains the gold standard. Knowing your family health history can help in taking preventive actions. Self-advocacy is vital—trust your symptoms and push for answers.     Main Topics with Timestamps & Explanations 1. The Importance of Early Detection and Screening (Timestamp: 10:20) Marisa and David stress that screening methods, especially colonoscopies, are crucial for catching colorectal cancer early. While there are several testing options, a colonoscopy provides the most comprehensive peace of mind, allowing for the removal of precancerous polyps. This proactive approach can prevent cancer from developing in the first place and significantly increases the chances of effective treatment if cancer is detected. Notable Quote: “The best test is the one you'll actually get, but the colonoscopy is the gold standard because it removes polyps and provides the ultimate peace of mind.” 2. Family Health History as a Guide to Preventive Care (Timestamp: 18:45) Marisa highlights the importance of knowing family health history, as it can indicate when to begin early screening. For families with a history of colorectal cancer, starting screenings before the typical age is essential. Family history isn't just informative—it's potentially life-saving, setting a health roadmap that can guide future generations toward prevention and proactive health decisions. Notable Quote: “Our family health history lays out a map, highlighting potential health risks we can address early on with the right screening.” 3. Self-Advocacy: Trusting Symptoms and Pushing for Proper Testing (Timestamp: 28:30) David shares his experience with symptoms that were initially overlooked and misdiagnosed. He emphasizes that recognizing persistent symptoms and advocating for oneself are critical steps in preventing late-stage diagnoses. Self-advocacy involves not dismissing symptoms and requesting specific tests, even when initial results are inconclusive. Knowing your body and speaking up can make all the difference in early diagnosis and successful treatment. Notable Quote: “If you know something isn't right, keep pushing until you get answers. Self-advocacy can be the difference between an early or a late-stage diagnosis.”  

In this episode of the Between Both Cheeks podcast, host Becca Hislop interviews Robyn, the Client Success Manager at Bryght, about her recent mammogram experience. Robyn shares her journey of advocating for her health amidst a challenging encounter with a medical professional who questioned her need for the procedure. The conversation emphasizes the importance of preventative care, self-advocacy, and the need for compassion in healthcare settings, especially for younger individuals facing potential health issues.Scale 2 The Top with Dr. Lyman Montgomery Welcome to Scale 2 the Top," the essential podcast for business leaders and HR...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show-----Our intro and outro music is made by Ashley from Lullaby The Fear Podcast.
