183. Blood Sugar & Weight Loss with Jenn Trepeck

In this episode of the Happy Whole You podcast, we are privileged to host Jenn Trepeck, the acclaimed creator of the Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Jenn brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in nutrition and wellness, focusing on key areas such as cholesterol, blood sugar, and holistic lifestyle strategies.

Jenn discusses her personal evolution from growing up in a diet-centric environment in the Midwest to becoming a prominent health coach. Her journey, marked by an exploration of various diets and the quest for balance, has led her to embrace the 80/20 rule—an approach where 80% of the time is devoted to healthy eating and 20% allows for the occasional treat.

Listeners can expect to gain valuable insights into maintaining a balanced approach to health and wellness, integrating practical advice on managing dietary concerns while enjoying life’s indulgences. Jenn will also explore how her podcast reflects her commitment to a realistic and enjoyable approach to nutrition. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that combines expert advice with a relatable and balanced perspective on achieving and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.
