    Nutrition Nugget: All About the AND

    Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about AND. What if the secret to achieving your 2026 health goals isn't about choosing between this OR that, but embracing this AND that? Jenn challenges the pervasive binary thinking that dominates diet culture—the "eat this, not that" mentality that's been marketed to us for years. But can we really have high protein AND high fiber, enjoy nourishing meals AND joyful treats, pursue professional success AND personal wellness? Jenn explores how the power of "and" might transform not just our relationship with food, but our entire approach to health, relationships, and even conflicting ideas. Is it possible to hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time, or are we destined to choose sides? What does Jenn really think about finding balance in a world that demands we pick a lane?

    What's Really Required Right Now & In the New Year (feat. Tara Schmidt)

    Are your New Year's resolutions setting you up for success or just another cycle of diet culture? Before you jump into the latest trend, discover what nutrition recommendations actually work for lasting health. It's time to pull back the curtain on what's really required for sustainable habits in 2026. In this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Tara Schmidt, registered dietitian and Instructor of Nutrition at Mayo Clinic, to cut through the noise of fad diets and quick fixes. Together, they explore evidence-based nutrition, the truth about GLP-1 medications, why weight management shouldn't focus solely on the scale, and how to build lifestyle changes that actually last beyond January. What You Will Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why your weight loss goals shouldn't focus on the number on the scale and what health metrics actually matter for long-term wellness and disease prevention ✅ The truth about popular trends like 75 Hard, macro counting, low-carb diets, and GLP-1 medications—when they work, when they don't, and what's missing from the conversation ✅ How to identify your personal barriers to change and create sustainable habits using the strategies that have worked for you in the past (hint: it's called the You Plan) ✅ What longevity strategies and evidence-based nutrition principles you should actually focus on in 2026, including sleep, strength training, and nourishment over restriction The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Challenging diet culture in 2026 with Tara Schmidt from Mayo Clinic 06:24 How growing up in the 90s diet culture shaped Tara's approach to nutrition recommendations and patient care 08:34 Deconstructing weight bias in resolutions and why your weight is just a number, not a measure of health 12:12 Truth bombs on popular trends: 75 Hard, low-carb diets, and macro counting—when they help and when they harm 18:32 Tara’s advice when someone isn’t losing weight each week, and the important metrics 22:11 Deep dive into GLP-1 medications: the tool versus magic pill debate and why lifestyle changes still matter 28:38 Getting your nutrients from fruits, veggies and other supplements 32:26 Where to start with health goals in 2026: asking better questions about what will make you feel better and longevity strategies that matter: sleep, strength training and mindfulness 36:40 Planning for barriers and creating backup strategies so sustainable habits stick when life happens 39:34 Why balance is a verb, not a destination, and how to keep adjusting your approach in real time 41:00 Creating your personalized nutrition plan using what's worked for you before KEY TAKEAWAYS: 💎 Your weight is simply your gravitational pull—not a measure of your worth or health. Focus on body composition, sleep quality, energy levels, and other health metrics that actually indicate wellness rather than obsessing over scale numbers. 💎 Popular programs like 75 Hard and trends like macro counting can work for some people, but ask yourself why you're doing them and whether they're sustainable habits you can maintain long-term, not just until your wedding or vacation. 💎 GLP-1 medications are tools, not magic pills—they work best when combined with nutrition recommendations, strength training, and lifestyle changes. Without proper support and education, people risk nutritional deficiencies and regaining weight. 💎 The best weight management plan is the one you create for yourself based on what's worked in your past, adapted...

    Building Connection and Community with Wellness In Mind (feat. Sarah Wragge)

    Feel like you’re in a routine of work, happy hour/holiday parties, too much food or alcohol and too little sleep? Or maybe you’re looking for social plans that don’t revolve around cocktails. If you struggle with blood sugar crashes, afternoon slumps, and that constant feeling of hunger, this episode may just be the key to finally feeling in control of your health—especially during the holiday season. In this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Sarah Wragge, founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness, to discuss building a community and connecting with colleagues or friends without relying on alcohol-centered social events. They explore practical strategies for blood sugar balance, the power of starting your day with a protein-rich breakfast, effective food-sequence techniques, and how to create meaningful connections through fitness and wellness activities rather than traditional happy hours. Sarah shares her journey from corporate advertising to holistic nutrition coaching and reveals that balancing blood sugar throughout the day is the foundation for sustainable health. What You Will Learn in This Episode: ✅ How blood sugar balance through strategic meal timing (eating every 3-4 hours with protein, fat, and fiber) eliminates food noise, constant hunger, prevents energy crashes, and helps you feel satisfied throughout the day without obsessing about food. ✅ The transformative power of alkalizing the body before coffee using greens to combat inflammation, improve digestive health, boost morning energy levels, and counteract the acidic effects of caffeine, sugar, and processed foods. ✅ Why building a wellness community through fitness classes, morning coffee dates, and movement activities creates deeper connections than alcohol-centered socializing, plus practical alcohol guidelines like consolidating drinking days and choosing quality over quantity. ✅ The strategic approach to holiday indulgences using food sequencing—stacking nutrition with protein breakfast and meals throughout the day before dessert—to prevent blood sugar spikes and enjoy treats without guilt or post-meal crashes.

    The Health Tool No One's Talking About

    Tired of eating the same boring veggies every week? Let's talk about nutrient diversity—the health hack nobody's buzzing about but should be! It's not about being perfect or following strict rules; it's about bringing more color, flavor, and fun to your plate while feeling amazing. In this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck explores why micronutrients matter just as much as macronutrients. Learn how eating a variety of colored vegetables, embracing seasonal eating, and experimenting with different vitamins and minerals can improve gut health, support immune function, and enhance healthy aging. Hear practical strategies for adding dietary variety without complicating your routine, plus why the holidays offer a perfect opportunity for nutrient-rich foods. What You Will Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why nutrient diversity and micronutrients are just as important as tracking your macros, and how eating a limited variety of foods puts your body into survival mode, affecting everything from energy levels to bone health and metabolic function. ✅ The power of eating the rainbow—how different food colors indicate specific vitamins and minerals like iron, folate, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, and why incorporating plant-based foods with various phytochemicals supports immune support, digestive health, and reduces chronic disease risk. ✅ Practical strategies to increase dietary variety without overwhelm, including shopping at farmers' markets, using frozen organic vegetables, cooking with global spices, and creating rainbow meals that make seasonal eating easy and affordable. ✅ How the holiday season offers a hidden opportunity for nutrient diversity through festive foods you don't normally eat, and why developing a sense of culinary adventure helps improve gut microbiome diversity and overall wellness.
