In this exclusive sneak peek, Ashleigh shares the first full episode of a new series on Healthy Aging she has developed with friend, Carnivore-ish co-author, wellness writer, and chef Beth Lipton. Over the course of seven episodes they dive deep on topics like beauty, motherhood and pregnancy, relationships, nutrition, mental health, and more, all through the lens of healthy aging for women: what does it mean to age in a healthy way? How do we balance our desire to remain youthful with the inevitability of getting older? Can we find more peace and joy in the way our bodies and priorities shift through life?  The series is honest, real, vulnerable, and created in an effort to create community and share with other women who are no doubt juggling the same questions and uncertainties. There are questions, answers, personal stories, and laughs as they learn. These are just a few of the questions the women dive into, starting with this first episode on fitness, which covers the ladies' thoughts on: what they learned about wellness and fitness from their own mothers; whether or not fitness HAS to change as we age, and if so, how; their own personal journies through various forms of fitness, and more. The full Healthy Aging Series will be published on Ashleigh's YouTube channel, which you can find and subscribe to here: https://www.youtube.com/@musclemaven  If you have any feedback, questions or comments, send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com.

#337 The Brain's Blue Spot Key to Healthy Aging

In this episode, I’m diving into some fascinating research and sharing my own opinions for a fun, insightful show about longevity and living to 100 years old. It is amazing to think there are 722,000 centenarians alive today, but only 219 people who’ve made it to 110. I think genes affect your potential to live to 110, but most of us should form the empowering belief that we can sail to 100, if we just get out of our own way. Reference my previous show, Longevity Science is Wrong—Don’t Succumb to BS Commentary and Self-Limiting Beliefs. In this episode, I explore how lifestyle factors like staying active, managing stress, and keeping a positive mindset are key to longevity. We’ll also touch on the surprising traits that many centenarians share—things like emotional awareness and optimism—and how they contribute to a longer, healthier life. So, join me as I unpack some longevity stats and challenge you to embrace the belief that living a long life is within your control. Oh, and stay tuned for a fun surprise at the end—a little freestyle rap from my 60th birthday party earlier this year! TIMESTAMPS: The United States is rate4d 35th in world ranking in longevity statistics. {00:54] For the first time in recorded history, those of us in the younger generation have a lower life expectancy than that of our parents. [02:45] Surprisingly, according to the UN there are 722,000 people in the world right now who are over the age of 100. There are more women than men in that bunch. [07:06] Does genetics play a role in life expectancy statistics? [10:21] There are three kinds of resilience that are connected to longevity: cognitive resilience, economic resilience, and personal resilience. [17:11] Loneliness is a huge factor in all age groups. [21:48] Your heart and lungs working well will help mental acuity. Dementia statistics show 50% have symptoms. Walk your way into better brain health. [28:05] Lifestyle studies have shown centenarians tend to share personality traits: a positive attitude and emotional awareness. [34:07] If you think you have genetic predisposition for something that you can prevent, then you don't have to follow that history. [39:37] To stay youthful, you gotta do things right.

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

We're told that aging is about loss. About slowing down. About limits. But what if we've got it all wrong? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Charlotte Yeh — a trailblazer in healthcare, a former emergency physician, and now the Chief Experience Officer at Cherish. With over three decades of experience, including former Chief Medical Officer at AARP and now Yeh Innovation, Charlotte brings a deeply human perspective: that aging can be a time of growth, connection, and purpose. Together, we explore the myths and truths around getting older. We ask: how can we shift the narrative from decline to vitality? From isolation to community? From fear to intention? Dr. Yeh shares profound insights on emotional well-being, the quiet epidemic of loneliness, and how technology — when used wisely — can measure what really matters. This is a conversation about agency, resilience, and how we can all age not just gracefully, but powerfully. Because aging isn't something that happens to us — it's something we can choose to do with meaning.

Your liver does so much more than just detox your margaritas! In this episode, we're diving into why liver health is foundational to energy, hormones, digestion, metabolism, and graceful aging. We'll unpack liver health basics — what your liver actually does every single day — and why it's often the missing link in resolving stubborn symptoms like fatigue, belly fat, hormonal imbalances, poor recovery, and brain fog. PLUS — I'm breaking down how the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP) approach uses personalized lab testing to assess your liver function, gut health, hormones, and metabolic markers. Because guessing with supplements and random detoxes isn't a strategy. Data is power. Testing shows us exactly where your body needs support so we can restore metabolic harmony and help you thrive — not just survive — as you age. In This Episode, We Cover: → What your liver actually does (spoiler: it's A LOT more than detox) → Signs your liver may be struggling (even if labs say “normal”) → Why liver health is central to metabolic health & aging well → The stress-liver connection & how chronic stress impacts fat storage & inflammation → The gut-liver axis & why digestion and detox are deeply connected → How FDNP testing helps us stop guessing and start targeting your root causes → Why the goal isn't just to live long — it's to feel good doing it → Daily practices to love your liver & support metabolic health at every age Key Takeaway: → Longevity isn't about luck. It's about strategy. → Your liver is your metabolic powerhouse — supporting it now sets you up for vibrant energy, hormone balance, healthy weight, and resilience well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond.
