If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in.   People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.   Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey.   This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:   Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.   You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard.   Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.   Podcast Episodes Mentioned ⁠Episode 4⁠ – Bio-Individuality ⁠Episode 11⁠ – Digestive Hell with Gray Graham ⁠Episode 28⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 ⁠Episode 31⁠ – The Cold Turkey Episode ⁠Episode 42⁠ – Cultivating Joy   Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠     Please hit SUBSCRIBE, leave a 5-Star Review, and connect with us on Spotify comments!

From the benefits of medical-grade skincare products to a spirited discussion of red light therapy and dietary choices for longevity, we aim to provide listeners with actionable insights.

Whole-person health starts with whole-family care—and that begins with a provider who sees you, hears you, and truly walks beside you. Dr. Marion Pierson brings decades of heart-led pediatric experience to the conversation, showing how health is more than check-ups and prescriptions—it's about relationships, rest, and raising kids in rhythm with both structure and freedom. Her passion for serving her Kansas City community is palpable, and her insight into direct primary care reminds us that when families are empowered with knowledge, time, and trust, they don't just survive—they thrive. Key Takeaways: Community-based care thrives when families feel seen, supported, and invited into the healthcare process. Simple habits like sleep, hydration, and nutrition can dramatically shift a child's mood, focus, and overall well-being. Transitions, like summer break, can be both freeing and disruptive—maintaining flexible routines helps children stay grounded. Parents' self-care directly impacts how children experience structure, safety, and emotional regulation. The right healthcare fit is like a good relationship—it's built on trust, time, and open communication.   Resource Mentioned: Sherrie Ortiz is the owner of Just One Day Travel Tours and a passionate advocate for creating memorable experiences through local travel as KC travel guide.

You're eating clean, doing the cold plunges, taking the adaptogens… but still waking up exhausted, wired, inflamed, or just off? It's time to talk about the one healing practice that costs nothing—but changes everything: sleep. In this solo episode of Rooted in Wellness, I'm guiding you back to your body's most powerful reset tool. We'll explore why deep, consistent sleep is foundational for hormone balance, detox, metabolism, emotional regulation, and even gut repair. You'll learn the hidden ways modern life disrupts your circadian rhythm—and the rituals, tools, and energetics I personally use and teach to bring your nervous system back into alignment. If you've been overriding your need for rest in the name of productivity or “doing more,” this is your permission slip to pause, restore, and reconnect. Because your body knows how to heal—when you finally let it rest.

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!

What if the brain fog, sugar cravings, and stubborn fatigue you're feeling… starts in your gut? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe—Stanford PhD scientist and co-founder of Pendulum Therapeutics—to unpack the real reasons so many of us struggle with metabolic health, mood imbalances, and digestion. We explore how your gut microbiome shapes your energy, hormones, and weight every single day—even if the root cause began years ago. We break down the rise of leaky gut, the missing bacteria like Akkermansia that most probiotics ignore, and science-backed steps to start healing from within.

What if the anxiety you feel, the mood swings you hide, or the “off” feeling you can't shake… aren't just yours to carry but part of a story that started long before you? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Karena Dawn to talk about healing from trauma, rewriting the stories we inherited, and finding peace in the chaos. We explore how movement becomes medicine, how therapy and EMDR help process pain held in the body, and why community and vulnerability are essential to lasting transformation.

The truth is, most women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s aren't getting real answers when they start experiencing the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Instead, they're told their symptoms are “just stress” or handed a prescription that masks the issue—without addressing the root cause. In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I'm joined by women's hormone expert Dr. Mariza Snyder for a science-backed conversation about what's really going on beneath the surface. We break down the connection between hormone decline, nervous system dysregulation, brain health, metabolic shifts, and chronic inflammation—plus why so many of the conventional protocols (like extreme fasting, overtraining, or testosterone pellets) can make things worse, not better. Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women's hormone expert, and bestselling author of The Essential Oils Hormone Solution and The Menopause Relief Protocol. She's the host of the Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast. If you've been doing all the “right” things and still feel like your body is stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you! We Also Discuss: (00:00) Why You're “Doing Everything Right” But Still Feel Off (09:29) The Real Reasons Behind Anxiety, Weight Gain & Insomnia (18:13) Perimenopause: It's Not Just Hormones (25:44) How Stress & Overdoing Are Wrecking Your Hormones (36:43) The Lab Tests Your Doctor Isn't Running (But Should Be) (41:39) The Biomarkers Every Woman 35+ Needs to Know (49:57) Estrogen Dominance: Signs You're Missing (01:01:41) Hormone Support, Movement & What Actually Works Thank You to Our Sponsors: Rooted Academy: Join Rooted Academy by Mona Sharma, a science-backed, community-driven wellness platform designed to help you heal from within.

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.
