Nutrition Nugget - Cool Your Rice

Nutrition Nugget: Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 

Do you suffer from age-related aches and pains that traditional stretching or medications won’t relieve? Are you doing all the sports recovery things and still feel pain? It’s possible that the cause isn’t actually aging, but because your body is in a state of fight-or-flight. Tune into this episode and discover how simple posture adjustments and diaphragmatic breathing can transform your physical performance and well-being.

In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Dr. Amy Novotny, founder of the PABR® Institute. Together they explore a naturalistic approach to pain relief, stress reduction, and overall wellness. Dr. Novotny shares her groundbreaking work on how altering your breathing mechanics and ribcage positioning can shift the body from a fight-or-flight state to a state of rest and relaxation, helping to reduce muscle tension and improve physical performance. By addressing the autonomic nervous system this approach can relieve digestive issues, and decrease the impact of chronic stress, and this episode offers insightful strategies for relieving pain, improving sleep, and even overcoming trauma-related physiological responses—all without the need for traditional stretching or medications. 

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. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• (05:27) Amy shares her professional journey
• (09:47) The three main components of the autonomic nervous system. Amy explains the results of a patient changing their breathing mechanics
• (15:15) Amy explains muscle contraction and why it’s worse with age and gives an example of how to relax the breastbone
• (26:47) What should you notice about back muscle tension 
• (29:11) Belly breathing versus diaphragmatic breathing and how chewing and swallowing impacts your TMJ joint

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Dr. Amy Novotny discovered that altering her ribcage position and breathing mechanics allowed her to shift from a fight-or-flight state (sympathetic) to a state of rest-and-relaxation (parasympathetic), significantly reducing muscle tension and enhancing her physical performance without traditional stretching or rehabilitation techniques.
• Dr. Novotny's work highlights how chronic stress and muscle tension, especially in the abdominal region, can contribute to digestive issues. People can naturally relieve physical tension, improve digestion, and even overcome trauma-related physiological responses by addressing posture and breathing mechanics.
• Unlike voluntary muscle contractions (e.g., lifting an object), emotional stress triggers involuntary muscle contractions that can persist unnoticed. Over time, this accumulated tension can lead to chronic pain, which is often mistaken for age-related discomfort.

QUOTES:         

• (06:11) “I realized if I changed my breathing mechanics, very different than breath work, but if I changed my mechanics of how I held my rib cage and how that affected my diaphragm, I could run eight miles in 55 minutes, get off the treadmill and not have to stretch.” Dr. Amy Novotny
• (20:45) “You must physically train your body to get in the correct position again.” Dr. Amy Novotny
• (28:51) “There are specific techniques that can help us hone that interoception.” Jenn Trepeck
• (33:52) “Diarrhea, constipation, all those types of things as we know, are also connected to trauma." Jenn Trepeck.
• (34:45) “I'm a big fan of playing with it. See what happens. Because what do we have to lose?” Jenn Trepeck

It seems like almost everyone is taking GLP-1 medications these days to lose weight. Now a couple years after they’ve been used for this purpose, what do we know? How do we interpret all the headlines about them? Despite how the news makes it sound and what your doctor may have told you, you have options! Tune in to understand more about GLP-1 medications, what Jenn does as a health coach for her clients who are taking them, and how you can naturally support your own GLP-1, empowering you with knowledge and control over your health.

Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries! In today’s episode, Jenn dives into the impact of GLP-1 medications on metabolic health. She begins by explaining what GLP-1 is and addresses some of the controversy surrounding celebrities who don’t admit to using it for their weight loss. Jenn also uncovers how the secondary benefits of GLP-1 often mislead the public and explores its short term side effects and potential long lasting impacts. She discusses the concept of fat cells having memory, what people can do to support true metabolic health while taking these meds, and shares practical tips for naturally supporting your body’s own GLP-1 for long term metabolic health. 

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. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

(00:00) Jenn talks about GLP-1 meds, metabolic health and weight loss

(05:07) Defining GLP-1 and how it works in the body

(12:05) How the public is misled by the secondary benefits of taking the medication and discussion of side effects

(21:08) Being cautious and a discussion of the gut brain connection and malnutrition

(26:50) Fat cells have memory, BMI as a metric, and an example of how the Healthy Vibe Tribe brought down blood sugar 70 points for a client

(35:10) How to naturally support your GLP-1 and metabolic health

(43:53) What about insulin

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• GLP-1 medications are more openly discussed with more people openly admitting they’re taking them. This shift contrasts with the early days when celebrities falsely claimed weight loss was solely due to light exercise, misleading the public and creating unrealistic expectations for weight loss.
• Jenn criticizes the Super Bowl ad from Hers, which she believes "weaponized diet culture" to promote its version of a GLP-1 medication. She expresses frustration with how marketing continues to exploit societal insecurities around weight, comparing it to the more positive and empowering approaches taken by brands like Dove.
• While GLP-1 medications can be life-transforming in the short term—reducing weight and alleviating joint pain—there are concerns about their long-term impact. Issues like bone density loss, muscle deterioration, and potential joint problems down the line should be considered. This highlights the importance of being proactive and responsible for your long-term health
• While taking the medications may seem like the “easy button,” there are other considerations to ensure true health, like the nutrition you provide your body when you do eat and the role supplementation can play. 
• There are nutrition and supplementation choices that can support the body’s own GLP-1 production.

QUOTES: 

(04:55) “GLP stands for Glucagon Like Peptide. Glucagon Like Peptide 1 comes from the large bowel, or the colon. It stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, supporting blood sugar regulation.” Jenn Trepeck

(17:21) “Protein and fiber at every meal makes removing fat, no big deal.” Jenn Trepeck

(34:54) “Sometimes while we think this is the easy button, it requires an even more significant commitment to protein, fiber, quality fat, strength training, and a multivitamin to get your micronutrients.” Jenn Trepeck.

(40:23) “When we start to understand low glycemic impact nutrition, we're focusing on nutrient dense foods and less processed foods.” Jenn Trepeck

(42:35) “ Exercise, sleep, water, food. Those are your responsibilities. ” Jenn Trepeck

Do you struggle to lose weight and keep it off? It turns out, fat cells actually have a memory that can keep weight off after rapid weight loss!

In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck sits down with Professor Dr. Ferdinand von Meyenn, assistant professor at the Institute of Food, Nutrition, and Health at ETH Zurich, to explore his study with the intriguing finding that fat cells encode a memory which influences the ability to maintain weight loss and therefore impacts metabolic health. They delve into his groundbreaking research on bariatric patients and mice, uncovering how fat cells retain memory and can continue to impact the body long after weight loss. Dr. von Meyenn breaks down the role of epigenetics, why GLP-1 medications don’t provide long-term effects, and the importance of proper nutrition and lifestyle when losing weight and keeping it off. They also discuss the hip-to-waist ratio versus BMI and why prevention is the most powerful tool for long-term well-being. 

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. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

(05:27) Ferdinand’s research on fat cell memory and metabolic health

(09:21) Research findings on bariatric patients and experiments on mice

(17:28) Ferdinand defines epigenetics and GLP’s don’t give long-lasting effects

(26:06) Losing weight too quickly and the set point concept

(35:00) Weight loss is good, but proper nutrition is critical and discussion of adiponectin

(38:27) Excess energy and body fat, the hip to waist ratio, and being overweight, and the long-term consequences

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Even after significant weight loss, an individuals' fat cells retain molecular changes (altered RNA and epigenetic markers) associated with their previous obese state. These long-lasting molecular markers in the fat cells predispose the body to regain weight as it responds more readily to an obesogenic environment.
• Weight loss significantly improves health, whether in humans or mice. However, fat cells have a form of memory, meaning that even after weight loss, some molecular changes persist. While these changes do not necessarily drive disease, they highlight the importance of sustained weight management strategies.
• Rapid weight loss, especially with methods like GLP-1 medications, can lead to muscle loss, negatively impacting metabolism and overall health. Since muscles play a key role in energy expenditure and physical stability (especially with aging), preserving muscle mass during weight loss is crucial for long-term success and well-being.

QUOTES:         

(06:59) “Many times people get bariatric surgery, and despite that being a very significant intervention that restricts how much food you take in, people lose weight for a while, and yet some recover some of that body weight.” Ferdinand von Meyenn

(13:46) “The cell predisposes these people to regain weight because their cells are signaling for the obesogenic environment that they became used to.” Jenn Trepeck

(24:53) “I think this is connected to the set point idea that people have heard of how we go about ‘losing the weight’. That might play into this too.” Jenn Trepeck.

(26:08) “If weight loss is too quick, it is also loss of protein mass, basically of muscle mass and that is really problematic.” Ferdinand von Meyenn

(32:43) “If we build lean muscle mass over time, removing fat over time, giving the body time to adapt to this metabolically healthier environment, there's the possibility of easier maintenance.” Jenn Trepeck

Is your relationship with food or your body complicated? Do you struggle with body confidence and self-love? You might be surprised about how many aspects of life are impacted by your body image. Wondering if you can truly love your body? Spoiler alert: you can! 

In this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Marla Mervis-Hartmann, a dynamic speaker, bestselling author, and coach specializing in body confidence, self-love, and intuitive eating joins the show. Together, Marla and Jenn dive deep into healing a challenged relationship with your body, breaking free from diet culture and disordered eating, and embracing true self-acceptance. Marla shares powerful insights on shifting away from food restriction and guilt, learning to trust your body, and fostering a sustainable, positive mindset around food and body image. 

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. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• [3:40] Marla reveals how she began her focus on healing her body image
• [10:07] How negative body image can show up in our lives
• [19:20] Listening to your body and befriending yourself
• [25:52] Choosing the road of self-compassion and acceptance
• [30:48] Reframing your perception of your body image 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• People believe reaching a certain weight or body shape will bring them happiness and confidence, but true healing comes from addressing deeper emotional and psychological factors, not just physical appearance. How we feel about our bodies can impact our relationships, work, self-worth, and ability to be present. It can lead to comparison, avoidance of opportunities, and even withholding joy from ourselves.
• Recognizing and challenging diet culture, societal pressures, and past traumas is crucial for improving body image. Developing self-compassion, addressing underlying emotional wounds, and reframing our relationship with food and our bodies are key steps to healing.
• Finding a balanced, self-compassionate approach to body acceptance and eating is essential. Instead of rigid dieting allow for self-acceptance, mindful choices, and kindness toward oneself—much like a best friend offering support.

QUOTES:         

[6:10] “I needed deep help with this. So that's what took me on this journey of recovery, of healing my relationship with my body and my food.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann

[9:44] “We can be so mean to ourselves, the things that we say in our head compared to what we would never say out loud to someone else, but we say them to ourselves.” Jenn Trepeck

[25:09] “If you're hearing this right now, that moment when something shows up and maybe it's not even around your food and your body, perhaps it's about something completely different, that you just have this seed of wisdom that says, ‘Let's be kind to me here’.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann

[29:21] “I would try to walk beside someone in a window to see our reflection, because I was like ‘She's thin, am I as thin as her?’, and then I would compare myself.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann

[32:48] “And now, what can I do for myself? Even if we ask it instead of what we would say to a friend, and now ‘what can I do for you?’ say, ‘what can I do for me?’ I love that question.” Jenn Trepeck

[36:26] “We're having this conversation and we say ‘their body is okay for them, but their body would not be OK for me’. That disconnect, then, ask the following question: ‘Why is it okay for them and not for you? What's the other thing they have that makes it alright that I don't have that makes it not OK?’” Jenn Trepeck

How much mental space does food take up in your life? Do you feel trapped by food rules, guilt, or the pressure to eat a certain way? Let’s put on our curiosity hats to explore our relationship with food.

In this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Jenn Trepeck discusses our important relationship with food.  From food triggers and guilt-free eating to breaking free from restrictive diets or mindsets, Jenn explores how our thoughts about food impact our daily lives. Plus, she highlights why seeking support can be a game-changer in creating a healthier, more balanced mindset around eating and relationship with food. Tune in next week for the second part of this discussion diving into body image with a special guest! 

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. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• [1:51] Exploring our relationship with food, body shape and being food aware 
• [11:29] Food triggers, guilt-free eating, and the time spent thinking about food
• [16:28] Food restrictions, One Meal a Day (OMAD), fear food and a discussion on eating disorders
• [26:22] Judging ourselves for food choices and how we can redirect these feelings
• [27:40] What a balanced relationship with food looks like
• [33:20] Exercise, activity choices and wearables

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Many people recall becoming aware of their body size and food choices at a young age, often influenced by family, social environments, and cultural messaging. 
• Restrictive eating patterns are deeply ingrained behaviors influenced by diet culture. These habits contribute to an unhealthy relationship with food, highlighting the importance of re-evaluating these mindsets for overall well-being.
• Food choices may be driven by fear, competition, or guilt. Instead of restricting, skipping meals, or yo-yo dieting, a balanced approach involves recognizing hunger and satiety, eating various nourishing foods, and honoring your body's needs without anxiety. 
• A balanced lifestyle allows for flexibility—being able to eat at any restaurant without stress, working out without obsessing over steps or missing a day, and removing labels like "good" or "bad" from food choices. The key is self-awareness and making mindful choices rather than engaging in self-sabotage or comparison.

QUOTES:         

[9:44] “The first time I felt I had to watch what I ate was between high school and college. - Jenn Trepeck

[14:11] “If we are choosing not to have social plans because we don't want to eat out, or we don't want to eat around other people, we are isolating. We want to look at our relationship to that. - Jenn Trepeck

[15:40] “What we learn through the Healthy Vibe Tribe and what I learned that completely changed my life is that it's not actually about the calories. It's about what calories are made of.” -Jenn Trepeck.

[2.0:06] “Are we eating to avoid something?” Jenn Trepeck

[27:05] “What does a more balanced relationship, a healthier relationship with food, look like? It means eating in a way that nourishes your body and your mind. Guilt and anxiety are not present. It means recognizing hunger and satiety and fullness.” Jenn Trepeck
