America stands at a critical health crossroads. Despite overwhelming evidence that physical activity is our most powerful health intervention, we remain a culture of inactivity. That's about to change.The Physical Activity Alliance has planted its flag with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal that will transform American health: By 2050, over 50% of the US population will meet the National Physical Activity Guidelines for both aerobic exercise and muscle strengthening. This ambitious target wasn't chosen arbitrarily—it represents the threshold at which we can truly call ourselves a "culture of physical activity" rather than inactivity.As president of the PAA, our host, Michael Stack, has conducted extensive listening sessions with stakeholders across the physical activity spectrum who consistently identified this cultural transformation as our ultimate measure of success. The PAA's BHAG meets all the criteria needed for transformative change: it's bold yet achievable, clear and compelling, long-term focused, inspiring, measurable, and capable of aligning diverse stakeholders under a common purpose.Achieving this goal demands a whole-society approach. The PAA is leading through initiatives like "It's Time to Move," which aims to make physical activity assessment, prescription, and referral the standard of care in medicine. We're collaborating with federal partners and working on implementing the National Physical Activity Plan across states. But we also need grassroots engagement from every sector—healthcare, education, business, community planning, and more.This moment represents a unique inflection point for physical activity in America. There's unprecedented alignment both within and outside government to elevate movement as a primary health intervention. Download the National Physical Activity Plan from our show notes and ask yourself: what role will you play in transforming America into a nation where movement is woven into our cultural fabric? Join us in making this BHAG our shared reality.Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/144Our Host: Michael StackMichael Stack is the founder & CEO of Applied Fitness Solutions, the Michigan Moves Coalition and the More than Movement Foundation.

Part 1 Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins SummarySummary of "Power vs. Force" by David R. Hawkins "Power vs. Force" is a philosophical and spiritual book written by Dr. David R. Hawkins, which explores the distinctions between power, which he associates with higher moral and ethical values, and force, which corresponds to lower, more destructive tendencies. The central theme of the book is the concept of human consciousness and how it can be calibrated on a scale of levels of truth. Key Concepts:Levels of Consciousness: Hawkins introduces a scale from 1 to 1000, where different emotional states correspond to different levels of consciousness. Shame (20), Guilt (30), Apathy (50), Fear (100), Desire (125), Anger (150), Pride (175) are lower levels. Higher levels include Courage (200), Neutrality (250), Willingness (310), Acceptance (350), Reason (400), Love (500), Joy (540), Peace (600), and Enlightenment (700+).Force vs. Power: Force is associated with manipulation, coercion, and effort. It often comes from lower levels of consciousness and is dependent on external conditions. Power, in contrast, is innate, comes from higher consciousness, and is aligned with love, truth, and integrity. It tends to be self-sustaining and uplifting.Kinesiology and Muscle Testing: Hawkins proposes that muscle testing can be a means of determining the truth-value of statements based on their alignment with higher or lower consciousness. By applying this technique, one can discern forces or influences in life that enhance or diminish wellbeing.Truth and Reality: Hawkins posits that there is an absolute truth that can be aligned with higher consciousness and that individuals can attune themselves to this truth through self-awareness and spiritual practice. This truth elevates personal and collective consciousness which contributes to societal progress.Spiritual Development: The journey towards higher consciousness is framed as a greater alignment with power rather than force. The book encourages readers to strive for higher emotional states, which cultivate well-being, compassion, and unity. Applications:Personal Growth: By understanding where one resides on the consciousness scale, individuals can actively work to raise their level and embrace more empowering outlooks.Social and Organizational Dynamics: Hawkins' insights can be applied to improve relationships, leadership qualities, and communal interactions by promoting power-oriented values over force-driven actions. Conclusion:"Power vs. Force" invites readers to reflect on their own level of consciousness, the nature of their actions, and the impact they have on themselves and others. Through the lenses of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality, Hawkins presents a compelling argument for choosing "power" as a path toward personal and collective transformation.Part 2 Power vs. Force AuthorDavid R. Hawkins David R. Hawkins (1913-2012) was an American psychiatrist, spiritual teacher, and author. He gained recognition for his work in the fields of consciousness research and spirituality, particularly through his concepts of consciousness levels and the interplay between power and force.Power vs. Force Published: The book "Power vs. Force" was first released in 1995. Content: In this book, Hawkins introduces the concept of a scale of human consciousness and differentiates between power (which is based on true strength, integrity, and benevolence) and force (which is associated with manipulation, coercion, and ego-driven actions). He also discusses the calibration of different levels of consciousness using a numerical scale, which has become one of his hallmarks.Other Notable Books by David R. Hawkins: The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing is Hidden (2001) I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003)...

We get together the first Saturday of the month and everybody is really cool.”“I don't know, I mean it's one thing to play around a table, but I'm not sure about getting all dressed up and acting it out.”“It's not like that. Dress however you want; nobody judges you and everybody is chill.”“Fine, I'll give it a try”That was the recruiting pitch I got for my first ever LARP. Live Action Roleplaying. The guy who was helping run the events was really enthusiastic and he convinced me to give it a try. I grabbed a rulebook, put together a character, got it approved, and then showed up for my first ever LARP.Now I am sure most LARPs out there could easily be described the way that guy pitched his LARP to me. Today, having the experience I have in a wide variety of games and conventions I know that most people will be welcoming, you will fit right in and I don't doubt you will have a great time.Not so much for my first one.You see it was a Vampire the Masquerade game and it was a crappy experience.The costume you wore did matter, everyone was clickier then a spoken word club on meth. And nobody was chill.That experience put me off LARPing for a long time, but over the years I have learned that I just had a bad first experience. LARPing has a lot going for it and a lot of permutations out there that might not seem like LARPing, but are.On this episode Mike, Christina and our special guest, Jen will be talking LARPing.

In this episode, I describe my program "I Love Kinesiology" which is all about bridging the gap between an academic kinesiology education and practical movement training for yoga teachers and movement practitioners. I share my own journey from getting a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology to weaving yoga into my practice. I emphasize how crucial it is to understand the body, the nervous system, and movement patterns. My program applies kinesiology principles through a yoga lens so educators can better support students dealing with pain and movement challenges, fostering a more nuanced and compassionate approach to therapy.

In this episode, Dr. Olinca joins Gina to continue the conversation about hormones and what's actually going on behind the scenes and why you might feel “off” even when you're doing all the right things. They break down the everyday impact of hormonal shifts (yes, they change daily!), how your brain and body are constantly communicating, and why stress might be the sneakiest culprit messing with your progress. Dr. Olinca explains how perimenopause isn't a light switch, why progesterone is the first to dip (and what that means for your mood), and when hormone testing might actually be worth it. The takeaway? Forget balance—resilience is the name of the game. You'll walk away with clarity, compassion, and a better understanding of where to focus: sleep, stress, and blood sugar. Simple, but powerful.Dr. Olinca is a licensed, board-certified Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario. She also holds an honours degree in Kinesiology and has achieved her certification and internship in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).You can contact Dr. Olinca at info@drolinca.comOr find her on Instagram: @dr.olincaYou can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Calvin Tedesco is not your average personal trainer. His journey into fitness began in a place most people spend their lives trying to avoid: a jail center. At just 15 years old, Calvin found himself behind bars, surrounded by chaos and uncertainty. It was there, amidst the harsh realities of the juvenile justice system, that he discovered a glimmer of purpose—through a set of weights and a worn-out bench. That discovery would change the trajectory of his entire life.What began as a coping mechanism quickly became a discipline. Fitness gave Calvin structure, an outlet, and something to believe in. He followed that path with relentless commitment—pushing himself through competitive sports, earning a university degree in Kinesiology, and eventually building a respected career as a personal trainer and online coach. But Calvin's transformation didn't stop at the physical level; it ignited a deeper mission to help others rewrite their own stories, just as he had rewritten his.Today, Calvin works with men and women around the world to help them become stronger—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. He doesn't just coach workouts; he builds warriors. Through his bold and unapologetic philosophy—“Train or Die”—he encourages people to take full ownership of their lives, dig deep, and push beyond the limits they've accepted for themselves.Calvin's approach is rooted in discipline, self-honesty, and relentless effort. His coaching is as much about building character as it is about building muscle. He teaches that true transformation starts from within—and that self-respect is earned through daily commitment, not external validation.

In this episode, Gina and Dr. Olinca Trejo break down why weight loss is not about willpower. It's all about hormones—and understanding how these chemical messengers shape everything from your cravings to your energy levels. Dr. Olinca explains why your hormones work more like an orchestra than a light switch, how lifestyle factors like stress and sleep throw everything off, and what's really going on when you feel out of control around food. They also share what it takes to shift your body's set point and why whole, nutrient-rich meals send the right messages. Plus, Dr. Olinca gets real about dopamine, emotional eating, and the daily habits that make the biggest difference. Stay tuned—in Part 2, they'll delve into fat storage, stress, and how aging impacts metabolism.Dr. Olinca is a licensed, board-certified Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario.

Ever wondered how to turn national physical activity guidelines into meaningful community change? This eye-opening conversation reveals the roadmap for developing state-level physical activity plans that make movement a priority where Americans actually live, work, and play.Wellness Paradox host Michael Stack shares the journey of building the Michigan Moves Coalition, showing that creating transformative plans doesn't require extensive resources—just passionate advocates willing to collaborate. "All health is local," highlighting why adapting evidence-based national strategies to meet specific community needs is so critical for improving public health outcomes.The process follows a clear framework: first, building a coalition of physical activity stakeholders; second, partnering with state health departments; and third, recruiting sector leaders across healthcare, education, parks and recreation, faith communities, and more. What began in Michigan with just six organizations has grown to nearly 60 representatives from over 50 major institutions—all committed to making the active choice the easy choice.With over 80% of America's $4.9 trillion healthcare spending going toward chronic disease management, these state-level planning efforts represent not just a public health necessity but an economic imperative. The beauty lies in their accessibility—you don't need to reinvent the wheel, just adapt existing frameworks to your local context while focusing on measurable wins that build momentum.Ready to start a movement in your community?

We catch up on all the racing and news from the weekend. Dr Michael Rosenblat completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Exercise Science at The University of Toronto, a Master of Science (MSc) in Physiotherapy at McMaster University  and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Kinesiology at The University of Guelph. He is also a Clinical Exercise Physiologist with a Specialization in High Performance. In our chat with Dr. Michael Rosenblat we discuss his recent work on training intensity distribution and its impact on endurance performance. He reflects on his journey in sports science, the importance of statistical analysis and the need for collaboration in research. The conversation delves into the findings of a network meta-analysis that compares different training intensity models and their effects on VO2 max and time trial performance, highlighting the significance of individual participant data in drawing meaningful conclusions.  We discuss the relationship between coaching and sports science and explore the differences in training intensity requirements for recreational versus competitive athletes, the importance of periodization in training models and the nuances of VO2 peak and time trial performance. Additionally, the conversation delves into the significance of understanding thresholds in training and the need for further research in sports science to better inform coaching practices.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Sarah Erdner, PhD, CMPC, to spotlight a topic often overlooked in the world of sports—coach mental health. Dr. Erdner, author of Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You, unpacks the emotional burden coaches silently carry and how athlete well-being is often a reflection of coach well-being. Through intimate stories, powerful insights, and tangible steps, this episode challenges the sports world to reframe leadership, rethink "culture," and offer care to those expected to always lead.   About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Erdner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and author of Dear Coach. Her groundbreaking work began with research interviews and evolved into a nationwide dialogue about emotional labor, empathy, and systemic change in sports. She advocates for psychological safety, multicultural awareness, and intrapersonal reflection among coaches.   Key Takeaways: Coaches are often viewed solely as a means to winning, which fuels burnout and poor mental health. Emotional neglect of coaches trickles down to athlete well-being and performance. Writing "Dear Coach" letters—both as a reflection and feedback tool—can start essential cultural conversations. Authentic leadership begins with acknowledging one's cultural identity and emotional limits. To create truly high-performing teams, organizations must prioritize coach support systems at par with athlete mental health.   Connect with Dr. Sarah Erdner:Visit: www.dearcoachbook.comExplore her book, request mentorship, or download the free eBook version.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Tune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!• YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife• Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod• Threads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.pod• Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

Most injuries don't need surgery. They need the right signal to help the body start healing.   Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Kathleen Heiney, the founder of LINC Golf & Wellness and ReGen3 Therapeutics, to talk about shockwave therapy and its role in treating tendinopathy and chronic pain. What happens when you stop chasing quick fixes and start supporting the body's natural healing process? For Kathleen, it meant turning her own recovery into a deeper obsession, and eventually, a business.   They walk through the two types of shockwave therapy, radial and focused, and when each is most effective. From stubborn shoulder issues to post-surgical rehab, Kathleen shares  examples of how this non-invasive treatment can help stimulate regeneration and reduce pain without relying on medications or surgery.   How long does it actually take to heal? What should you expect after a session? And why do so many people give up just before their body turns a corner? This episode has a lot of insights for anyone curious about alternative therapies or looking for answers when traditional treatments fall short.   Quotes “This technology, you know, is noninvasive. Hardly any downtime. You're getting your body healed. So I started thinking to myself as I was referring so much business to [the podiatrist], I started getting shockwave [therapy] for free. And I thought to myself, okay, so why am I not starting this business?” (04:31 | Kathleen Heiney) “Not everybody needs to go under the knife... There's a lot of ways that we can rehab our body. And combining physical therapy and shockwave therapy is just one modality.” (05:50 | Kathleen Heiney) “What the radial will do is it will kind of break it up. And I want to say subcutaneous because it's only like an inch and a half. So it starts to create that microtrauma to get the blood flowing back to the area so that the tissue can start to heal again. So we're kind of rebooting the healing process.” (10:59 | Kathleen Heiney) “For anything that's worthwhile, you've got to maybe go through a little bit of discomfort to get there. Mentally, physically, emotionally, all the good things require a little bit of discomfort to get to that.” (16:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You will either choose to invest in your health and wellness now, or you'll be forced to pay for your sickness and disease later down the road.” (56:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We all just want to be able to do the things that we want to do when we want to do them. And in order to do it, we need to really take care of ourselves and address things so that they don't become bigger problems.” (59:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links Connect with Kathleen Heiney: www.lincgolfandwellness.com www.regen3therapeutics.com   Kathleen Heiney holds a Master's in Kinesiology from Indiana University and has spent over 35 years teaching, coaching, and working in fitness and wellness. She's the founder of LINC Golf & Wellness, offering professional golf instruction, yoga, and wellness retreats. After experiencing the benefits of shockwave therapy firsthand, she partnered with Dr. Eric Wankowski to launch ReGen3 Therapeutics, integrating this powerful modality into chiropractic care. A longtime Denver resident, Kathleen is passionate about whole-body wellness and lives in the DU area with her husband Tony and their daughter Janet. When she's not on the golf course or doing yoga, you'll find her enjoying the Colorado outdoors with her close-knit community.   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

Continuing with our sleep week conversations, Gina and Naturopathic Doctor Olinca Trejo break down the real reason weight loss can feel so hard—and spoiler alert, it's not a willpower issue. Dr. Olinca explains why understanding hormones is a game-changer for anyone on a health journey, not just those going through menopause. From how lack of sleep throws off your hunger cues to why your brain defaults to old habits when you're tired, she connects the dots between rest, cravings, and fat storage. They also unpack the misunderstood role of cortisol, the stress hormone, and how it keeps you stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and snacking. Dr. Olinca shares how even one bad night's sleep can mess with your hunger signals and why better sleep doesn't just help you avoid the bad—it actually makes it easier to choose the good. The conversation wraps up with a powerful mindset shift: the Glimmer Challenge. Because sometimes, the smallest moment of joy can turn your whole day around.Dr. Olinca is a licensed, board-certified Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario.

What if creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders—but a potent, research-backed tool for women’s health, performance, and longevity? In this powerhouse episode, Angela sits down with Darren Candow, a leading expert on creatine and Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory at the University of Regina, Canada. Darren is also the Director of Research for the Athlete Health and Performance Initiative and past Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies. Together, they unpack the groundbreaking science behind one of the most misunderstood supplements. From brain energetics and mood stability to bone density, fat loss, and anti-aging, this is your comprehensive guide to creatine beyond the gym. Angela and Darren explore the myths, the mechanisms, and the real-world applications of creatine—especially for women navigating perimenopause, high stress, and cognitive load. Whether you’re looking to train smarter, improve memory and sleep, or simply age with more energy and resilience, this masterclass will change the way you think about creatine forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Creatine for Cognitive Health: It crosses the blood-brain barrier slowly but significantly, especially under stress or sleep deprivation. Dosage Evolution: 10g/day may be optimal for full muscle, brain, and bone saturation—especially in women. Bone Health & Aging: Combined with resistance training, creatine may help preserve bone density, especially post-menopause. Body Composition Benefits: Contrary to myth, creatine reduces body fat over time and improves lean mass, even in women. Mental Health & Resilience: Early evidence shows potential benefits for depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Safer Than You Think: Creatine does not cause kidney issues or hair loss—these myths are finally being debunked with new data. Emerging Synergies: Stacks with protein, collagen, or taurine may enhance its effects—especially for brain and recovery support.

Episode Overview In this episode of Thriving Practice, I speak with Sarah Clark, founder of Sarah Clark Consulting, who helps medical, dental, and chiropractic practices transform operational chaos into sustainable calm. Sarah's approach combines fractional practice administration with process improvement strategies that allow providers to focus on patient care rather than administrative burdens. We explore how small, intentional changes in technology and workflow can dramatically improve both the patient experience and staff satisfaction. Sarah shares concrete examples of how simple solutions like automated appointment reminders have freed up staff time and improved patient punctuality by 30% in one practice. Her compassionate, results-driven methodology emphasizes that providers don't need to make sweeping changes all at once – even incremental improvements can lead to significant positive outcomes for practice efficiency and provider wellbeing. Featured Quotes "What I do is I help private medical, dental, chiropractor, anything in that field...turn their chaos into calm. And I sort of make a joke of, well, not all the way calm, more like calm-er. Because if it's really quiet and it's really calm, that's probably also like it's never really gonna happen that way." "Burnout is not just taking care of the patients and dealing with that burden that gets put onto their shoulders, but having to run an office when a physician did not go to business school becomes really difficult...It's overwhelming. That's a full-time job." "There are ways that you can do that and take some of the manual part of the stuff that leads up to that diagnosis...once the clients, once the business owners understand that it's okay to elevate something else off of you, to give it to somebody that has the experience and the time and the understanding to do it, it is, I mean, I have two clients that will just send me a text message about whatever it is and they used to say just handle it, now that just handle it is understood." What You'll Learn Listen for these key insights: How the "Four P's" framework (People, Paperwork, Processes, and Patients) can transform your practice Why technology adoption doesn't have to be overwhelming—and how small changes like automated appointment reminders can have outsized impacts The surprising connection between provider burnout and patient experience How fractional practice administration can provide expert support for practices that can't justify a full-time administrator The critical importance of developing a strategic plan for your practice, including your eventual exit strategy Why compassion isn't just good medicine—it's good business (with scientific evidence to back it up!) Resources Mentioned Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference - Book recommendation from Sarah about the impact of compassion on patient outcomes and provider burnout Thriving Practice is hosted and executive produced by Tracy Cherpeski. Our mission is to help healthcare practitioners build sustainable, impactful businesses while maintaining their own wellbeing. Bio: Sarah Clark is the founder of Sarah Clark Consulting, where she helps medical, dental, and chiropractic practices transform operational chaos into sustainable calm. With a Master's degree in Kinesiology from Indiana University, Sarah built her career spanning both corporate healthcare with the NFL and independent medical practices. This diverse background gives Sarah a unique perspective from nearly all roles in a medical office, allowing her to identify pain points and implement collaborative solutions.

What if your body could talk back—revealing hidden stressors, emotional blocks, and imbalances you never knew were there?

Kinesiology taping is a completely different philosophy from athletic taping. Kinesiology taping is about communicating to the brain to bring awareness to a certain area of the body that needs healing or improved biomechanics. Listen along as we discuss the functiion and the misconceptions of using tape. 

The absence of physical activity from critical national health policy conversations represents a profound failure of advocacy that demands immediate attention. In this eye-opening episode, our host, Michael Stack explores how the Department of Health and Human Services' recent announcement to combat chronic disease through "safe, wholesome food, clean water and elimination of environmental toxins" completely omitted any mention of movement or physical activity – one of the most powerful health intervention available to Americans.This glaring oversight serves as a wake-up call for everyone passionate about movement and health. We simply aren't winning as a physical activity community when we remain invisible in national health policy conversations. Despite overwhelming scientific evidence showing that just 150 minutes of weekly movement delivers more health benefits than any other intervention of comparable time commitment, physical activity continues to be marginalized or completely forgotten in public health planning.In this episode, we outline concrete steps for becoming effective advocates – from building relationships with local officials to engaging with state and federal representatives. The path forward requires both top-down organizational advocacy and grassroots engagement from passionate individuals willing to have conversations that elevate physical activity to its rightful place alongside food, water, and environmental factors. Until we secure our seat at the policy table, America's health will continue to suffer from this critical oversight. Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/142Our Host: Michael StackMichael Stack is the founder & CEO of Applied Fitness Solutions, the Michigan Moves Coalition and the More than Movement Foundation.

Are you feeling off but can't pinpoint the cause of your frustrating symptoms? Have you considered that mold could be the culprit? Today's guest shares insights into the symptoms of hidden mold exposure and mold remediation to heal and improve your overall health. This week on Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes functional health coach Jenn Malecha to share her personal journey with hidden mold exposure and the profound impact it had on her health. Jenn M. opens up about her skin cancer diagnosis, unexplained symptoms, and the shocking discovery of black mold in her home office. Together, they uncover why mold often goes undetected, the dangers of mycotoxins, and how symptoms like brain fog, vertigo, and digestive issues can easily be misdiagnosed. From mold sabbaticals and testing methods like VCS and urine analysis to the importance of professional remediation, this episode is packed with crucial insights. Plus, Jenn M. shares her toxic checklist to help you identify hidden hazards in your environment. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation—your health might depend on it!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: (04:56)  Jenn M. shares her professional background and discusses her skin cancer diagnosis(07:33) Jenn M. experienced health problems, leading her to discover black mold in her home (15:17) Why mold exposure can often be overlooked and what about mycotoxins(22:06) Symptoms associated with mold exposure in your home and taking a mold sabbatical(27:46) Visual contrast screening (VCS) and urine testing(33:03) Get a professional to do mold remediation(39:16) Jenn M.'s toxic checklist available to members and EMF radiationKEY TAKEAWAYS:While not all mold is dangerous, certain types release toxic compounds called mycotoxins, which can cause significant health problems. These toxins often go unnoticed in homes, especially in water-damaged buildings.The symptoms of mold exposure, such as ear ringing, vertigo, teeth grinding, brain fog, and digestive problems, often resemble those of other conditions. This can lead to a misdiagnosis, as traditional medicine treats symptoms individually rather than considering an underlying cause like mold or mycotoxins.If you suspect mold exposure, go on a "mold sabbatical" by leaving your home for a few days, ideally staying in nature. If symptoms improve outside your usual environment, this could indicate a mold issue in your home.Visual contrast screening (VCS) and urine tests can help detect mold exposure, but they are not foolproof. Proper mold remediation should include sealing off affected areas, using air scrubbers, and treating mold with appropriate solutions (not bleach). Additionally, diet and detox protocols should be personalized to support recovery.QUOTES: (13:18) “That innocent mildew in the shower, you think nothing of it, but it could be a sign of moisture accumulation in your home. That mildew can further burden the body if you're already dealing with a moldy situation.”  - Jenn Malecha(19:45) “The body will encapsulate toxins and mold in the fat, and we start putting on weight that we can't lose because it's the body's protective mechanism. So it's brilliant, it's frustrating, but it's a brilliant mechanism.”  - Jenn Malecha(21:14) “The confusing piece is that the symptoms connected to mold or mycotoxins look like symptoms of many other things. And so as our western medicine system does, we address all of those symptoms individually rather than saying, well, what else could be going on here?”  - Jenn Trepeck(36:06) “I want everybody to hear it, but it bears emphasis that we remove these foods for a while to support healing. That allows us to add those foods back in eventually.” -  Jenn Trepeck(43:34) “Take the steps that we're willing and able to take when we're willing and able to take them versus feeling like you have to do everything all at once and then are totally overwhelmed.” - 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 InstagramWhat Your Thyroid Says About the Rest of Your Health (feat.
