Straight from the Trader Joe's parking lot, Kelly and Lizz are ready to break down the trauma from that experience. Why is it that Trader Joe's always picks locations with the worst parking lots? It made Lizz break into a sweat, which was luckily controlled by non-natural deodorant. She's giving up all-natural deodorant and she isn't afraid to talk about it. Kelly has Driveway Dumps that includes the Instagram account she is currently obsessed with - @theloseitlog. But they also must talk about the TikToker that lost a ton of weight and her fans are not happy about it. Does she deserve all the hate? Speaking of a healthy lifestyle, Kelly's garage workouts are going great! Oh, and she caught a little baby fever. Will it pass?  It's time for Kelly and Lizz to talk about something that has the whole internet buzzing - the 2026 Hyundai Palisade redesign! Now that we have a full look at it, what are Kelly and Lizz's thoughts? Could this be an early contender for the Car Mom Car of the Year? Plus, their predictions on what the new Kia Telluride might look like and Kelly's next tester car.  Lizz went for her first facial post baby, something she used to enjoy immensely. So why did she find herself now hating the experience? Speaking of self-care, Kelly is looking into getting an at-home spray tanner so Tyler can give her a spray tan when she needs one. But can he be trusted when he spent $70 on a mani and pedi for their daughter?  Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz shares the chicken sandwich she created for the family based on the Italian chicken marinade Kelly brought up a couple weeks ago. Yes, they do eat chicken sometimes!

Change is a dynamic process that helps to create opportunity. If a person wants to experience personal growth, they must be willing to change the way they live, their behaviors, perceptions, and, often, their associations. No man who is aware of his situation and continues to refuse to challenge himself will reach his ultimate goal of personal transformation. Change must be deliberate, intentional, uncomfortable, and strategic. Book a discovery call: https://bit.ly/BOOKACALL1 Visit our website: www.xyspark.org

What if a simple molecule could revolutionize health and longevity?n this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Greg the Hydrogen Man, a molecular hydrogen therapy specialist, researcher, and the voice behind the popular YouTube channel Uprising 144k. Greg shares his journey of overcoming severe health challenges through molecular hydrogen and how this powerful antioxidant can optimize cellular health, reduce oxidative stress, and support overall well-being. From uncovering groundbreaking research in Japan to witnessing his father's recovery from arthritis, Greg dives deep into the science and potential of hydrogen therapy. He also sheds light on common misconceptions, warning about low-quality hydrogen products that may do more harm than good. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing 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: (05:13) Greg shares his healing journey using molecular hydrogen (14:10) How Japan has integrated hydrogen therapy into medical practice(18:55) Greg shares his father's story of recovery from arthritis(27:00) Greg talks about the continuing research of molecular hydrogen (34:57) How does hydrogen create these positive results in cellular health(42:52) Quality is keyKEY TAKEAWAYS: Greg shares his journey of overcoming severe health challenges by incorporating molecular hydrogen into his routine. He warns about misleading hydrogen products, particularly hydrogen tablets, which may contain harmful compounds and alter water's pH in undesirable ways.Despite promising results and increasing research, molecular hydrogen therapy remains relatively unknown in mainstream healthcare. Greg noted that Japan has integrated hydrogen therapy into medical practice, while in the U.S., financial interests and misinformation may be slowing its adoption. Hydrogen is significantly smaller than other antioxidants, allowing it to reach deep into the mitochondria and every part of the body where other antioxidants cannot. This makes it particularly effective in combating oxidative stress linked to inflammation and various diseases.QUOTES:(11:08) “It's important to use hydrogen properly because it needs to be safe, but you want it to be effective. So we want it to work.” Greg the Hydrogen Man(21:41) “We don't realize the value of our health until it's jeopardized. Right? And then we realize how little these other things matter.” Jenn Trepeck(36:27) “They put hydrogen there because they had already seen that it was having a positive effect on all these medical conditions.” Greg the Hydrogen Man(37:26) “Inflammation is essentially the source of all sickness, illness, disease. It is oxidative stress, like the rusting of our insides.” Jenn Trepeck(40:04) “Hydrogen is the most abundant element.” Jenn Trepeck(48:51) “When we can increase the nutrient density and the way nutrients reach the different body parts, there's so much possibility.” 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 InstagramBiostack Over BiohackBecome a Member to Receive 10% Discount off H2 TabsNutrition Nugget: AntioxidantsWhat's Your Biological AgeGUEST RESOURCES:Uprising144K Hydrogen Man - PodcastGreg Hman - InstagramHoly Hydrogen Machine - WebsiteMy Pure Water - Carbon Distiller - WebsiteGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Greg the Hydrogen Man is a molecular hydrogen therapy specialist, researcher, and host of the popular YouTube channel Uprising144K. Struggling to find answers and overcome extreme depression due to his compromised immune system, tumors, autoimmune issues, gut problems, arthritis, wheelchair-bound immobility, and a severe heart condition, he began his journey to heal himself and discover hydrogen along the way. Studying the complex compound for four years, he implemented it into his health regimen and reversed his health challenges. Greg discusses the endless health benefits of hydrogen, how it helps protect against EMF radiation, topical application for skin problems, tumors, hormone support, COVID-19 and marketing tricks to watch out for when shopping for generators.

Everyman must learn to face his fears and challenge the belief that he can get over it by ignoring that it exist. As men we must learn to face our fears of failure, shame, judgement and not being good enough. Sometimes because of refusal to acknowledge these fears we overcompensate by isolating, self-harming and being the loudest person in the room. Today's episode talks about how a man can face his fears confidently. Book a discovery call: https://bit.ly/BOOKACALL1 Visit our website: xyspark.org

There is a stigma about mental health that is winning the battle over most of us who are in existence. Women are more open to admitting that it's happening and doing the work to break the cycle because they are more comfortable talking about their feelings. Men on the other hand have become slaves to the stigma and struggle to get help, or because feelings and emotions are perceived as something for the "weak", is this a fact or a fable?

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Fred interviews his longtime friend Dr. Hal Blatman, a pioneering physician who shares his revolutionary "five rules" that debunk much of what is traditionally taught about the origins of pain. Blatman claims chronic pain actually stems from restrictions in the body's connective fascia that are triggered by inflammatory foods like: •⁠ ⁠Gluten •⁠ ⁠Dairy •⁠ ⁠Sugar   He provides actionable tips for listeners, like accessing his "do not eat" list to try reducing inflammation at home. Blatman details how progressively eliminating these inflammatory foods over decades led to significant improvements in his own struggles with chronic pain conditions like: •⁠ ⁠Back pain •⁠ ⁠Migraines •⁠ ⁠And others   He boldly argues that mainstream medicine's approach has it wrong - suggesting surgery, drugs, and other invasive treatments are often unnecessary. Instead, Blatman advocates for a fundamentally new way of understanding and treating chronic pain: •⁠ ⁠Directly treating the fascia restrictions through hands-on therapy •⁠ ⁠Changing one's diet to reduce inflammation   His eye-opening perspective presents potential dietary and lifestyle changes as the keys to addressing the underlying causes, rather than just masking symptoms. It's a must-listen for anyone suffering from stubborn chronic pain conditions.   Links: Winner's Guide to Pain Relief: https://blatmanhealthandwellness.com/product/winners-guide-pain-relief/ Get the 'Do Not Eat List' Starter Guide: https://blatmanhealthandwellness.com/do-not-eat/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@blatmanhealth  FB: https://www.facebook.com/blatmanhealth/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.halblatman/ Website: DrB@BlatmanHealthAndWellness.com   Time stamps: 00:00 Introduction to The Healthy Healer 00:30 Meet Dr. Hal Blatman 00:38 Reconnecting with an Old Friend 02:24 Understanding Pain and Its Misconceptions 06:49 The Five Rules of Pain 10:46 Practical Advice for Pain Relief 23:56 Hal Blatman's Journey and Insights 29:57 Final Thoughts and Farewell  

In this thought-provoking short episode, Dr. Fred reflects on his recent conversation with Dr. Hal Blatman and how they both realized a shared truth - that much of what they were eagerly taught in medical school does not align with the actual reality of pain and mental illness. He outlines how Dr. Blatman's perspective challenges conventional wisdom about the sources of physical pain, distilled into several eye-opening "rules" like: •⁠ ⁠Pain does not necessarily originate from where it hurts •⁠ ⁠The specific sensation (stabbing, throbbing, etc.) is not important •⁠ ⁠The only thing you can truly believe is what you physically feel and where you are tender   Similarly, Dr. Fred explains how psychiatric symptoms do not necessarily reflect the root emotional causes, which are often disconnection and trauma. The key parallels he draws are: •⁠ ⁠Looking in the wrong places to treat the pain •⁠ ⁠Being mindful of unhelpful inputs that exacerbate the issues •⁠ ⁠Getting to the authentic truth as the path to healing   The core message is about transforming outdated narratives around the sources of physical and emotional pain. For Dr. Blatman, it means looking to bodily restrictions and dietary triggers rather than simplistic mechanical models. For Dr. Fred, it means moving past surface-level psychiatric labels to understand and resolve emotional disconnects. Ultimately, their shared vision is an approach that compassionately and thoroughly addresses the true root causes, without judgement - then protects against re-injury through mindful self-care. It's a call to re-examine conventional assumptions in favor of new truthful paths toward profound healing.
