Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. 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 groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing. Listen now to discover why one in three women lose their uterus by age 60 – and what can be done to prevent it.BIG IDEAGynecologic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids aren't just "female hormone problems" – they're manifestations of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance that affect the entire body.Andrea Salcedo, DO - Contact InfoWebsite: https://www.consciousgynecology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consciousgynecologist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@consciousgynecologistX: https://x.com/consciousgyneSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode, Ben Azadi shares his personal journey on a 90-day carnivore diet, revealing surprising improvements in his gut microbiome diversity and metabolic health. Joined by molecular biologist Dr. Shayne Morris, they discuss Ben's lab results, the adaptability of the microbiome, and the interplay between genetics, diet, and health markers like cholesterol. The conversation highlights the importance of personalized nutrition, the resilience of gut bacteria, and the need for a nuanced understanding of how dietary changes impact overall well-being.

I talk with producer, Kevin Carter, about the new movie they just launched called 'Animal'. This movie seeks to set the record straight about the benefits of the carnivore diet and what the 'Proper Human Diet' for humans really looks like.  It sets out to debunk so many of the untruths about meat and animal products that are proliferated by the plant based community.  It imparts the information in such a relatable way and provides us with, what I called, a 'toolbox of comebacks' so that we can have meaningful discussions with people who seek to disseminate misinformation about what we should be eating. The film features so many of the people who have graced our stages as speakers at many of our events.  Icons like Dr Robert Cywes, Dr Robert Klitz, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ken Berry, and Sally Norton are all featured in the movie. The film just launched on June 20 in select theatres and released that day to streaming as well.  It is available on pretty much all platforms where you can watch streaming content. The most interesting thing for me that came out of our conversation was the fact that people can arrange screenings in local theatres and even places like church halls on an ongoing basis.  I was very excited to hear about that and encourage everyone out there to try to do something in their town or city. Not only will you be helping to get this message out but you can put together an amazing community event and really do something real to make a difference.  Just go to the website and then scroll down and click on 'Host a screening'.  There's no risk, if you don't get enough people to sign up for it to be cost effective then that screening doesn't go ahead and everyone gets their money back.  It's not hard!

If you've ever found yourself hurt, frustrated, or emotionally drained because someone didn't do what you thought they should—especially after you asked—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking about a powerful concept I use with my clients all the time, called “the manual.” It's the invisible rulebook we write in our minds about how other people should behave and what their actions (or lack of action) mean about us. But here's the catch: no one else has a copy of that manual. And when people don't follow our unspoken rules, we end up making it mean something painful—like “they don't care,” or “they don't love me.” That pain builds up, and it affects our emotional and physical health, especially when we're healing after something as life-changing as breast cancer. So in this episode, I'm sharing how to spot when you're living by a manual, how to burn it, and how to replace it with something far more powerful: clear, loving boundaries that support your peace and your healing.

Sugar addiction is a legitimate biochemical addiction that affects about one-third of the population, is often rooted in childhood emotional self-soothing behaviors, and can be more challenging to overcome than alcohol or drug addiction because it's socially acceptable and starts at a very young age.KISMETWhen individuals successfully overcome sugar addiction, their most valued improvement isn't weight loss but rather enhanced cognitive function - including better focus, improved memory, and reduced anxiety - as their "brain comes back online" after healing from the neurological impacts of chronic sugar consumption.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Mike Collins, known as "The Sugar Free Man," about the reality of sugar addiction and its impacts on metabolic and mental health. Collins explains how sugar addiction often begins in childhood as a form of emotional self-soothing that becomes wired into the brain's reward system. He reveals that about one-third of people are biochemically addicted to sugar, setting up cravings they cannot control through willpower alone. Collins shares that many recovering alcoholics and drug addicts report quitting sugar is actually harder than overcoming their primary addiction. The podcast explores the physical and psychological aspects of sugar addiction, including how abstinence for 90 days can allow the brain to heal and create new neural pathways. Collins also discusses how artificial sweeteners keep sugar cravings alive by maintaining the sweet taste sensation. The conversation highlights how sugar addiction recovery involves addressing emotional triggers and finding healthier self-soothing mechanisms beyond just changing eating habits.NOTABLE QUOTE"Sugar gets no respect as an addictive substance.

You know that feeling when you're "doing everything right" but still feel exhausted by 3 PM? Or when your doctor says your labs look "normal" but you definitely don't feel normal?This week, I'm chatting with Sharleen Lucas—an RN who left traditional hospital nursing because she was tired of seeing people suffer without real solutions. Sharleen breaks down metabolic health in a way that actually makes sense (and doesn't make you feel like you need a medical degree to understand it).What We CoverWhy 93% of us feel crappy (but the good news is, Sharleen gives us practical tools to fix this!) What "metabolic health" actually means (hint: think of your cells as tiny factories)The "naked carbs" thing that's probably sabotaging your energy all daySuper simple food hacks that don't require throwing out everything in your pantryWhy your breakfast might be setting you up for failure (and what to do instead)The Real TalkSharleen's story resonated with me—she dealt with her own mysterious health issues that traditional medicine couldn't solve. Sound familiar? She gets that you're already doing so much right, but maybe you just need a few tweaks to feel like yourself again.Her favorite quote from fitness instructor Betty Rocker: "All or something is just fine." Because honestly, we don't need to be perfect. We just need to start somewhere.If This Sounds Like You...You're successful in every other area of life but can't figure out why you're so tiredYou feel guilty for wanting more energy when you "should be grateful"You're tired of being told to just "eat healthy and exercise" without real guidanceYou want to feel good in the life you've already builtConnect with SharleenWebsite: RNnextdoor.com (book a free 30-minute chat)Linked in: RN Next DoorFacebook: Sharleen LucasShe also does these cool 2-hour lab reviews where she actually explains what your numbers mean and gives you real action stepsRemember: You're not broken.

The primary cause of metabolic dysfunction is not carbohydrates themselves but rather the combination of processed "naked" sugars and high linoleic acid seed oils that damage mitochondrial function at a cellular level.KISMETWhile most people focus on limiting carbohydrates to improve metabolic health, the research actually shows that fruit juice and honey can improve insulin sensitivity in some diabetics due to their complex chemical structures that positively influence gut bacteria – completely contradicting conventional wisdom about sugar.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Paul Saladino shares his evidence-based perspective on the true causes of metabolic dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates themselves don't cause insulin resistance. Instead, the primary culprits are processed "naked" sugars that disrupt gut bacteria and seed oils high in linoleic acid that damage mitochondrial membranes. These damaged membranes lead to energy production inefficiency at the cellular level, which manifests as various metabolic disorders. Dr. Saladino explains how the standard American diet contains 5-10 times more linoleic acid than our ancestors consumed, primarily from seed oils in processed foods. He argues that returning to single-ingredient foods and specifically reducing linoleic acid intake could rapidly improve metabolic health. The discussion challenges conventional medical wisdom about cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and the treatment of metabolic disorders.NOTABLE QUOTE"I want people to know that I was not taught in medical school the diet was this powerful. And that's probably the most important thing that I can do with my career is just tell people like what you eat and the quality of the foods you eat is everything.

What do the stubborn body fat you can't seem to lose, your hormones, and metabolic health all have in common? Well…a lot! If you're nearing perimenopause or menopause, you can't miss this conversation. In this episode, host Jenn Trepeck dives into a candid and clarifying conversation with leading health and wellness expert Ashley Fillmore. Ashley is the founder and president of Metabolic Fix and host of the Cheers to Your Success podcast. With nearly 20 years of experience, she helps women heal their metabolism, achieve hormone balance, and support lasting body composition changes. Together, they unpack why so many women still feel lost in the noise of wellness advice and how to make sense of what they're experiencing day-to-day, at each phase of their cycle and even as their cycles change.. This episode is all about discovering your hormone balance, transforming your body composition, and redefining what true health looks and feels like.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: (05:36) Ashley Filmore explains how she made the health, hormone balance, and body composition space her life's work(09:01) Ashley shares her experience with unhealthy dieting and deprivation(14:28) The number on the scale versus body composition, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and lean muscle(18:39) How certain hormones and body fat distribution correlate, and the importance of tracking your cycle(28:55) Ashley discusses symptoms that may indicate hormone imbalance(35:56) Adjustments to fitness routines and nutrition during your cycle(43:39) Other reasons your hormones can be depletedKEY TAKEAWAYS:The scale doesn't define health, but body composition does: A lower number on the scale doesn't accurately reflect your physical or mental well-being. Proper health is better measured by the balance between lean muscle mass and body fat percentage, which is significantly influenced by hormones that also determine where fat is stored—for example, cortisol can be associated with belly fat, insulin has been linked to love handles, and estrogen is often associated with weight stored in the hips and the lower belly.Where fat accumulates on your body can reveal significant hormonal imbalances, guiding lifestyle and nutritional changes as well as potential hormonal imbalances. Plus, even with a calorie deficit and strength training, stubborn fat won't budge unless you focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods—because it's not just about calories, but the quality of what you eat.Using cycle-tracking apps or devices like the Oura Ring helps women understand their hormonal rhythms, especially as cycles become irregular during perimenopause. By listening to your body, tracking symptoms, and identifying hormonal imbalances, you can tailor your nutrition, exercise, and recovery strategies to align with your current hormonal state, optimizing energy, mood, metabolism, and overall health.Walking and strength training are effective, low-stress ways to support hormonal and metabolic health, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Walking is a free, accessible exercise that improves body composition, hormonal balance, and mental well-being, while intense workouts may be too stressful when hormone levels are low. Incorporating gentle movements, such as yoga, and traditional strength training with compound exercises 2–3 times per week can help maintain health without overexertion.QUOTES: (25:34) “Get to know your body and your baseline, what's normal for you, as opposed to what your doctor might say is normal or common.” - Jenn Trepeck(16:57) “Your hormones matter. It's impacting everything: muscle mass, your body fat percentage and where your body fat is distributed on your body.” Ashley Fillmore(41:55) “Pay attention to how you feel because you may not be textbook, you may be a little outside of what I just mentioned, and that could be normal for you.” Ashley Fillmore(42:48) "The walking, the yoga, the more gentle exercises are probably going to be more effective and feel better when we're in that perimenopause or menopause phase.” - 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 InstagramCheers to Your Success!

Her research studies the impact of Advance Glycation End Products, or AGEs, which are molecules formed when sugars non-enzymatically bind to proteins or lipids. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Davenport dive into the impact of AGEs on aging, chronic illness, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, and how water-based cooking might just be the key to slowing these effects.(00:35) Dr. Michelle Davenport's Water-Based Cooking(03:05) Metabolic Health And Food Culture in The United States(05:39) What is Water-Based Cooking?(06:49) Using Water-based Cooking As A Dietary Strategy(10:06) Dr. Davenport's Favorite Marinade To Try This Summer(10:47) What are AGEs and How Do They Accelerate Aging?(14:09) Benefits of Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory Foods(16:33) Why Are Life Expectancies Decreasing In America?: Reason #1 Processed Food(19:24) Reason #2: Lacking Culture Around Food in The US(21:38) Reason #3: We Need To Understand The Basics(29:25) Michelle's Wake Up Call with Nutrition(33:04): What Are The Biomarkers For Damage Caused By AGEs?(35:08): AGEs: The Effects On Neurodegenerative Disease(38:58) What Can You Start Doing Today To Reduce AGEs?(42:12) Water-Quality in Water-Based Cooking(44:20) Dr. Davenport's Go To MealsFollow Dr. Michelle Davenport:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInSupport the showFollow WHOOP: www.whoop.com Trial WHOOP for Free Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

It’s time for a rebroadcast of a wonderful interview with my old friend, Dr. Casey Means, where she talked about the launch of her book, Good Energy. It has been a year since we talked on the eve of her book launch, which was just about to go number one and become a New York Times bestseller, and in other news, Dr. Casey has just been appointed to become the Surgeon General of the United States of America. Amazing news, a bit controversial these days since everything in politics is controversial, but long time listeners know that I steer completely clear of politics on this show, however I did want to give a plug for Dr. Casey and encourage you to listen to this interview if you didn't hear it the first time around, as she now rises to the highest position in America for doctors. In this episode, you will learn all about Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health, which she wrote with her brother, Calley Means, and hear her talk about the broken medical industrial complex—a subject that is of deep significance for her since (as she talked about in her first appearance on the show) she used to be a dutiful doctor, a highly trained throat surgeon who was just trying to do her best, until she realized how dysfunctional the whole system was. She had a realization: no one was really getting better. They were, however, coming in for more surgery, and this sparked her decision to pursue a career in the alternative health world instead, an issue that only became more important and personal to her after she experienced the deep pain and frustration of watching her mother die of a preventable disease. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to learn about all the nuances of our profit-driven medical system, the science and details of how mitochondrial function essentially represents the essence of our health, why mitochondrial dysfunction represents the whole cause of all disease, the scary statistic about Americans and metabolic syndrome risk factors that shocked me, and more! Casey Means, MD, Surgeon General of the United States of America, is a Stanford-trained physician, the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Check out her website and visit CaseyMeans.com/goodenergy to read her best-selling book, Good Energy. TIMESTAMPS: Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as metabolically unhealthy. [03:08] It's a totally unstainable path that we are on as a country. [09:04] After becoming a head and neck surgeon, Dr. Means realized that she was not improving people's health. She wanted to focus on prevention. [12:00] Cancer is a metabolic dysfunction. We are focusing on the wrong problem. [14:41] The health care industry is fast growing and it makes more money when you are sick than when you are well. [20:02] Everything in moderation is a very bad way to look at diet. [29:48] There is such a thing as bad food. [35:19] You need to understand your own body and read the signals your body sends to you. [36:23] We have normalized not feeling well, that we don't notice it. [41:55] When we eat processed foods, they are not benign. It's more than just calories. [46:53] The ingredients in the processed foods trigger your desire to overeat. The bigger the glucose spike, the bigger the crash [53:54] High fructose corn syrup is in so many foods and is very problematic. [58:39] There are five foods that you want to include to support your mitochondrial function. [01:01:36] In a few months, if you follow those suggestions, your markers on your blood tests will show a huge difference if you were pre-diabetic. [01:09:24] Why isn't the medical system focused more on prevention? [01:15:03] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!
