From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science 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: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” 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 InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

In this episode, Dr Odell discusses the critical yet often overlooked issue of insulin resistance—a hidden epidemic affecting nearly 40% of American adults. This sneaky condition, where the body's cells don't respond to insulin, is more than just a number on a chart; it's a major catalyst for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and a host of other metabolic disorders. Join us as he uncovers why insulin resistance is a growing concern for so many people and explore how its widespread impact could be affecting you or someone you love. Dr. Odell will also discuss two competing theories regarding the causes of insulin resistance: the traditional view that cells become less responsive to insulin, and a groundbreaking study from 2024 suggesting that insulin may break down too quickly in the body. Learn about the critical role insulin plays in regulating energy and blood sugar levels, and discover the implications of insulin resistance on overall health. Throughout the episode, he'll discuss practical strategies to reverse insulin resistance through dietary changes, exercise, and weight management. Find out which foods can help improve insulin sensitivity, why exercise is vital for metabolic health, and how lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce insulin resistance and its associated risks.

Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore research that challenges conventional eating patterns, revealing how shifting calories to earlier in the day can dramatically improve weight loss results. The hosts break down a study showing women who consumed their largest meal at breakfast rather than dinner lost 2.5 times more weight while experiencing significantly better insulin sensitivity, reduced hunger, and improved triglyceride levels. They explain how our bodies process the same calories differently throughout the day due to circadian biology, which explains why evening-heavy eating patterns often lead to frustrating weight loss plateaus despite caloric restriction. This episode offers practical strategies for adapting your fasting schedule to leverage these biological advantages, including alternatives to the popular but less effective dinner-focused OMAD approach, providing listeners with actionable ways to improve their fasting results without increasing hunger or complication.

Learn more about becoming an Insider on our website: https://www.benbikman.comDr. Benjamin Bikman delves into the profound relationship between sleep and metabolic health, emphasizing the critical role sleep plays in maintaining insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic function.Ben explains that deep sleep is a restorative phase during which the body repairs cells, regulates hormones, and improves insulin sensitivity. Poor sleep, however, disrupts these vital processes, leading to hormonal imbalances that elevate cortisol levels and reduce melatonin production.Elevated cortisol, a stress hormone, promotes gluconeogenesis and insulin resistance, while insufficient melatonin—a hormone essential for regulating sleep—negatively impacts insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. This disruption creates a cycle of metabolic dysfunction, increasing the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity.Dr. Bikman highlights actionable strategies to improve both sleep and metabolic health. He stresses the importance of avoiding high-glycemic meals before bed, minimizing exposure to blue light from screens, and maintaining consistent sleep schedules.He also discusses how ketones, especially in athletes after intense exercise, have been shown to improve sleep efficiency and REM sleep duration.For individuals struggling with sleep, Dr. Bikman explores the potential benefits of melatonin supplementation and exogenous ketones, underscoring the need for personalized approaches. By addressing evening habits and understanding the hormonal interplay between sleep and metabolism, individuals can take meaningful steps to enhance both sleep quality and metabolic health.This episode of The Metabolic Classroom provides valuable insights into how optimizing sleep can significantly improve overall well-being.Timestamps:(00:45) – Introduction to Sleep and Metabolic Health(01:22) – Why Sleep is Essential for Insulin Sensitivity(04:20) – How Cortisol Disrupts Sleep and Metabolism(08:10) – The Unexpected Role of Melatonin in Metabolism(19:35) – How Late-Night Eating and Blue Light Harm Sleep(23:40) – Can Exogenous Ketones Improve Sleep Quality?(28:20) – Practical Tips for Better Sleep and Metabolic Health Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Nurse Doza dives deep into the role of insulin and how managing it can improve various health aspects, from energy to mental clarity. Discover five practical ways to support healthy insulin levels naturally, including fasting, cold exposure, and smart dietary choices. Class is in session for anyone ready to take control of their insulin and optimize long-term health! 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Fasting Benefits Insulin: Intermittent fasting or calorie restriction can help improve insulin sensitivity, regulate blood sugar, and may extend lifespan. Cold Exposure Reduces Insulin Resistance: Cold therapy, like cold showers or outdoor exposure, can boost brown fat activity and enhance insulin regulation. Eat More Healthy Fats: Unsaturated fats, especially PUFA and MUFAs, can improve insulin secretion and metabolic health without spiking blood sugar. Targeted Supplements for Insulin Support: Resveratrol and Berberine help manage insulin and blood sugar, supporting better metabolic function. Avoid Late-Night Eating: Eating close to bedtime disrupts insulin function and melatonin, negatively impacting sleep and metabolic health. FEATURED PRODUCT Berberine Plus is a key supplement for supporting insulin health, helping to balance blood sugar levels and enhance metabolic wellness, aligning perfectly with the episode's focus on improving insulin sensitivity for better health.

This week's episode of The Metabolic Classroom focuses on the potential of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) as a valuable tool not only for individuals with diabetes but also for anyone interested in gaining deeper insights into their metabolic health.CGMs, which measure glucose levels continuously by detecting interstitial glucose, provide real-time feedback on how diet, exercise, stress, and sleep impact blood sugar, making them useful beyond their traditional application for managing diabetes.Dr. Bikman highlights studies that showcase the variability in individual glucose responses to the same foods, which can be attributed to factors like gut microbiome composition. Ben cites a prominent 2015 study from Israel that revealed individuals' glucose reactions to identical foods varied widely, showing the personal nature of glycemic responses and the role of CGMs in helping people manage their blood glucose variability.Another study, from Stanford University, further illustrates how CGMs can reveal “hidden” glucose spikes, leading people to make more informed dietary and lifestyle decisions.Dr. Bikman touches on the idea that, beyond personal use, CGMs have clinical benefits as well. Studies from the Scripps Research Institute and the Framingham Heart Study show that CGMs can detect early signs of prediabetes and diabetes in individuals who may otherwise go undiagnosed, providing a valuable tool for early intervention.While there are critiques about CGMs, including concerns about potential overemphasis on glucose levels, costs, and possible psychological impacts, Dr. Bikman asserts that the advantages—such as improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glycemic variability, and empowering users to make healthier choices—outweigh these concerns.Ben concludes by encouraging those curious about their metabolic health to consider CGMs as a practical tool for self-monitoring, with potential for significant long-term health benefits.visit: https://www.insuliniq.comBen's favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10)Ben's favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15)Ben's favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20)Ben's favorite health check-up for women: https://choosejoi.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite health check-up for men: https://blokes.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite exogenous ketone: https://www.americanketone.com (discount: Ben10)Show Notes/References:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

Have you ever felt like the pressure to look a certain way is pushing you to extremes—leaving you more anxious, depleted, and unsafe in your own body?  And what if most of that pressure is actually coming from within? The truth is: The harder you push, the harder it gets.  Take it from Dr. Michelle Shapiro, a renowned anxiety expert and dietitian whose incredible health transformation started with drastic weight loss that ultimately spiraled into severe health issues like hypothyroidism, panic attacks, and nutrient deficiencies. In today's podcast, Michelle gets real about the right and wrong ways to lose weight. She reveals WHY her body rebelled against the pressure to change—and how she ultimately found healing  through targeted nutrition, rebuilding her stress response, and learning to quiet the internal voices fueling her anxiety. Together, we dig into the often-overlooked internal battles that keep us stuck in hypervigilance and self-doubt.  And why it's SO crucial to listen to these signals. Tune in to discover practical tools for rebalancing your body, setting boundaries, and learning how to truly nurture yourself in moments of chaos.  IN THIS EPISODE How drastic weight loss can backfire, causing nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and panic attacks Why many women feel trapped in a constant state of hypervigilance, always waiting for the next crisis to hit How to identify and address the internal voices that fuel anxiety, using strategies from internal family systems therapy Practical strategies for resetting your body's stress response, so you no longer feel like you're stuck in fight-or-flight mode Why setting clear boundaries and reclaiming your time and energy are crucial for managing anxiety How to stop chasing symptoms and start healing the root causes of panic attacks and chronic stress The importance of working with practitioners who help you feel seen, heard, and safe Visit podcast page here: https://drmariza.com/episode602 QUOTES "Weight loss is often seen as the ultimate goal for health, but if it's done wrong, it can wreak havoc on your body—leading to hormone imbalances, panic attacks, and more." "Feeling like your body is in constant overdrive, like you're stuck in fight-or-flight, is your body's way of telling you it doesn't feel safe." "Panic attacks aren't just in your head. They're your body's alarm system, and unless you address the root causes—like nutrient depletion or chronic stress—they'll keep coming." "Setting boundaries and reclaiming your energy is the ultimate act of self-care. You can't be everything to everyone without losing yourself."
