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.

Episode 186: Exercise PrescriptionsDr. Sandhu and future Dr. Daoud explain the way to prescribe exercise, what are the general guidelines for exercise and how to overcome barriers to exercise. Dr. Arreaza emphasized the importance to screen our patients before exercise and using the term “physical activity” to improve receptivity by patients.  Written by Wessam Daoud, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Ranbir Sandhu, MD, and Hector Arreaza, MD.  You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Arreaza: I'm Dr. Arreaza, and today, we will talk about a topic that is both simple and powerful: exercise. Previous episodes: 158, 100 (sexercise), 95, We all know exercise is good for us, but how do we prescribe it like we do medications? How can we tailor exercise recommendations to our patients' needs and lifestyles? To help us unpack this, I'm joined today by Dr. Ranbir Sandhu, and Medical Student, Wessam Daoud, who has a passion for preventive medicine. Welcome to the show!Ranbir: Thanks, Dr. Arreaza! We're excited to be here and to discuss something so fundamental to health.Segment 1: Understanding Exercise PrescriptionArreaza: Let's start with the basics. In medicine, we prescribe medications with precise instructions—dosage, frequency, duration. But how do we apply this concept to exercise?Ranbir: Great question! Before we prescribe exercise, we have to make sure that it is not contraindicated. We can use a system to stratify our patients based on risk factors, such as older age, smoking, baseline level of activity, etc. For example, a patient who had a heart attack within the last 6 weeks should not exercise yet, a person with heart failure exacerbation, asthma exacerbation, uncontrolled heart arrhythmia, etc. Wes: Exercise prescription follows a structured approach, similar to medications. We use the FITTE mnemonics to guide recommendations: Frequency – How often?Intensity – How hard should the patient work?Time – How long should each session last?Type – What kind of exercise is best?Enjoyment – Does the patient enjoy this activity?By adjusting these components, we can tailor exercise to each patient's needs, whether it's improving cardiovascular health, managing chronic disease, or building strength.Segment 2: How Much Exercise Do Adults Need?Arreaza: Now, when we talk about exercise, there's a lot of conflicting advice out there. What do the official guidelines say about how much adults should exercise?Ranbir: The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and CDC provide clear guidelines:Aerobic Exercise: At least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, OR 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (or a mix of both).Muscle Strengthening: At least two days per week of resistance training targeting major muscle groups.Balance & Flexibility: Particularly important for older adults to reduce fall risk.These guidelines are adaptable, meaning patients can break them into shorter sessions throughout the week.Arreaza: For weight regain, you may need to exercise a little bit more, about 300 minutes/week, and >2 days of resistance activity.Segment 3: Choosing the Right Type of ExerciseArreaza: With so many options—cardio, strength training, yoga—how do you guide patients in choosing the right type of exercise for them?Wes: It depends on the patient's goals, health conditions, and personal preferences. Here's how we might break it down:For cardiovascular health: Activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming.For strength and bone health: Resistance exercises, bodyweight exercises, or weightlifting.Ranbir: For flexibility and balance: Yoga, Pilates, or tai chi, especially for older adults.For chronic disease management: Customized plans—e.g., low-impact options for arthritis or supervised exercise for heart disease.The key is finding something they enjoy, because sustainability is the most important factor.Arreaza: We can use our physical therapy friends to design an appropriate plan for our patients.Segment 4: Overcoming Common Barriers to ExerciseArreaza: I hear this all the time in the clinic—patients want to exercise but struggle to stay consistent. What are the biggest barriers, and how do we help patients overcome those barriers?Wes: Absolutely. Some common barriers include:Lack of time: Patients think they need hours at the gym, but even short bouts of 10 minutes throughout the day add up.Low motivation: Encouraging goal setting and accountability, such as a workout buddy or an activity tracker, helps.Arreaza: Instagram post from Ranbir: Go to the gym even if you don't want to go. Wes: Pain or chronic illness: We can adapt exercises—low-impact options like swimming or chair exercises work well.No access to a gym: Many exercises require no equipment—walking, stair climbing, bodyweight exercises.Ranbir: As physicians, we need to normalize movement as part of daily life rather than an all-or-nothing approach.Segment 5: The Role of Healthcare Providers in Exercise CounselingArreaza: We often focus on medications and procedures, but exercise is one of the best treatments we have. What role should physicians play in promoting physical activity?Ranbir: Our role is critical! Exercise is preventive medicine and can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even depression. As physicians, we can:-Ask about exercise levels at routine visits.-Provide specific, personalized exercise prescriptions rather than just saying 'you should exercise more.'-Address patient concerns by modifying recommendations to their abilities.-Follow up and reinforce progress like we would with any other treatment.-Even a brief conversation about physical activity can significantly impact patient motivation and adherence.Arreaza: Exercise vs physical activity. Ask your patients as a routine. Closing Thoughts & Call to ActionArreaza: Ranbir andWessam, this has been a fantastic discussion. Any final thoughts for our listeners?Ranbir: My biggest takeaway is that any movement is better than none. Exercise doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to be consistent. Start small, find an activity you enjoy, and build from there!Arreaza: Any take-home message, Wes?Wes: Same for me, find an activity you enjoy, start where you are, and keep moving!Arreaza: Great advice! If you found this episode helpful, share it with your colleagues and patients. Ranbir: Until next time—stay active and stay healthy!Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Send us a textWhat if your gut instinct and intuition as a provider is the missing piece in truly supporting postpartum mothers?We've been trained to rely on tests, checklists, and data, but what if the most powerful tool we have isn't something that can be measured? In this episode, I share a personal experience that shook me to my core—one that proved how deeply connected emotional wounds are to physical symptoms. We dive into why postpartum care has lost its intuitive roots, how women healers throughout history were dismissed or feared for trusting their inner knowing, and why it's time to bring that back. If you've ever had a moment where you just knew what a mom needed—without a test or protocol telling you so—this episode will validate what you've felt all along. Plus, we discuss how modern biohacking, tracking, and testing have taken us further from the innate wisdom that has guided women's healing for centuries. If you're a postpartum provider, this episode will reignite your confidence in the deep knowing that makes you extraordinary at what you do.Check out this episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/mastering-intuition-as-a-provider-when-to-trust-your-gut-vs-protocol-in-postpartum-care-ep-204/Key Time Stamps: 00:02 – The gut feeling that changed a client's postpartum recovery03:41 – How grief and trauma show up in the body04:52 – The lost art of trusting intuition in women's healthcare06:17 – Why postpartum healing isn't about biohacking—it's about deep connection07:44 – The question every provider must ask: “Am I hesitating because it's wrong or because I wasn't taught it?”09:56 – A personal story of misdiagnosis—and how one doctor trusted her instinct to find the truth12:48 – Why clients need validation beyond lab results15:25 – The Postpartum Nutrition Certification: Bridging science and intuition for better care17:26 – Final thoughts: Why intuition is the missing piece in postpartum healingNEXT STEPS:
