The Salad With A Side Of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry.

We delve into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.

In today’s episode we focus on March Madness, and the meals we eat at this time of year. From fries to snack type foods, what’s on your bar food menu, and how can we add some nutrition and balance. Jenn also covers the holidays this time of year and tips for traveling as life returns. We can live life AND make our health a priority.
