These days, there are so many eye-catching labels at the grocery store on foods claiming to be a healthier alternative to your favorite foods. Tune in to learn how to determine if they truly are a better option for you and if their taste rivals the original! 

On the episode this week, Jenn is talking about “healthier food swaps”. She covers different lunch/dinner, breakfast, snack, and dessert options with her past client offering the taste test verdict! Jenn walks us through the nutrition facts and ingredients to determine if each item is truly a nutritious swap or if it’s better to just eat the real thing. Then, she provides examples of how to make things work for you and your needs. Tune in to learn more! 

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: 

• [6:10] Are the Mission Zero Net Carb Tortillas a healthy option?
• [9:24] What is a good pasta alternative? 
• [10:58] Jenn shares her thoughts on the line of products Nestle is coming out with for those taking Ozempic and similar meds?
• [13:54] Is the Legendary Foods Protein Pastry a good alternative to Pop Tarts?
• [16:36] Are protein bagels a good option for breakfast?
• [18:40] What about Catalina Crunch? 
• [19:44] Are Flock Chicken Chips a good snack choice?
• [20:43] What are some good chip/cracker alternatives?
• [28:05] What are some good dessert options?
• [35:31] Are there good candy options on the market?
• [37:57] What are healthy ice cream/shake type options?
• [47:17] Jenn shares her final thoughts around how to utilize “healthy” swaps.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• There are pros and cons to choosing the “healthier” food swaps. Eating only processed foods, even if they have “better” nutrition facts, won’t create balance in the long run. Make informed decisions for your needs and health. 
• Always make sure you look at the nutrition facts and ingredients to determine if you actually just want to eat the real thing. Make the best choice for you given the information that is provided.
• Just because it’s marketed as “healthier” doesn’t mean it truly is. Do your research. 

QUOTES: 

• “As we know, when they [food manufacturers] take something out, they add other things in to keep it tasting the way we want it to, so I'm cautious...it's about what they do put in there vs. what they take out." - Jenn Trepeck
• "Ultra processed foods are how we got to this point, among other things but it's a huge contributing factor, and so I hesitate to think that the same companies who got us here are the ones who see so clearly what the solution is." – Jenn Trepeck
• "Everything has its place in the bigger picture of things we're eating. You're still focusing on the protein and the vegetables and then the wrap becomes this side that helps complete the meal, the condiment that helps fill things out." - Jenn Trepeck
• “It’s pros and cons. It’s choosing between different ingredients and where you want to spend them and what your priorities are to decide if that works for you.” - Jenn Trepeck
• "There is a distinction between healthier and health supporting. I almost think a better word is less detrimental." - Jenn Trepeck
• “So I just say to everybody, proceed with caution. Pick your battles. Read the labels and decide what works for you.” - Jenn Trepeck
• “The piece to remember for everybody is that this is a progression in the changing of our habits and adjusting our diets. A lot of these options are incredible tools in that process.” - Jenn Trepeck

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• The best way to help increase the acid in your stomach is to take 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar + ⅓ cup warm water, and drink it 20-30 minutes prior to your biggest meal of the day. Those with acid reflux should start with ½ tsp + ⅓ cup warm water. This must be done with consistency. 
• Artificial sweeteners are the very worst thing you can put into your body, you need to avoid them like the plague if you want to be healthy. 
• Healing your gut is the key to healthy skin, to lowering your weight, to better brain function. That is the key to living longer. 

QUOTES: 

• [11:18] “No one dies of old age, you know there’s all these different diseases out there like heart disease and cancer. By the way, cancer has now overtaken heart disease as a number one killer in 21 states. You’ve got to understand our genes have not changed for 40,000 years, so it’s not a gene issue. This is an epigenetic issue, which means the lifestyle choices we make, how you think, how you eat, how you move, lack thereof, that is going to dictate your longevity, your quality of life, and the quality of your energy.” - Dr. Daryl Gioffre 
• [12:12] “For the first time in human history, our children have less of a lifespan than we do.” - Dr. Daryl Gioffre
• [15:26] “When I say get off your acid, I’m not referring to the acid in your stomach. I’m referring to the acidity in your tissues that’s causing you to rust and rot from the inside out.” - Dr. Daryl Gioffre
• "The acid in your stomach is your first line of defense." - Dr. Daryl Gioffre
• "This is about fitting things into your life, not the other way around." - Dr. Daryl Gioffre
• "The average cup of coffee is 100x more acidic than tap water." - Dr. Daryl Gioffre
• [38:58] “Artificial sweeteners are dangerous, they’re poison. Aspartame metabolizes into a couple of different amino acids, but one of those is actually methanol, which comes from wood alcohol, and that metabolizes into formaldehyde in your body. So literally when you are taking in these artificial sweeteners, you’re putting the same things that they embalm dead bodies with into your body.” - Dr. Daryl Gioffre

Do you feel like you are juggling too many things between work, socializing, your health, family, etc. and something has to give? This may be the ideal time to take a step back, allow yourself to slow down and do less so you can achieve more. Tune in to learn more about what that looks like when it comes to your health and activity. 

This week, Jenn is talking about taking your foot off the gas when it comes to your health and wellness goals. She explains how to evaluate if you need to take a step back in your intensity (even if you feel like you’re already balanced in your nutrition) - whether that’s for a week, a month, or a season in order to show your body appreciation and allow it to rest and heal. Jenn explains how physiological stress can impact your hormones and how reverse dieting may be the next step in your wellness journey. She describes what is required during this phase and how you will know when you are done with the phase of less intensity. Tune in to learn more about reverse dieting and taking a step back!  

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: 

• [5:04] How do most people tend to approach weight management?
• [9:00] What are different phases to focus on? 
• [11:41] What's the connection between consistency and intensity? 
• [14:40] When might you want to step back from your current maintenance intensity? 
• [18:24] How do you know if there is physiological stress happening? 
• [21:43] Why do we use food as a way to fill needs that aren’t actually physical stomach hunger?
• [26:44] What does it mean to be on the same team as our body? 
• [37:35] What is reverse dieting and how can it impact our health?
• [46:22] What’s required for this phase to serve you? 
• [47:50] How long do you stay in this phase and how do you know when you're done?

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• [10:08] Our metabolisms don’t like the same thing all the time. Surprises actually kick the body into working a little more. 
• [36:40] The idea of achieving more by doing less is letting go of some of the things that we are holding onto, so that we can experience and hold the next thing that shows up. 
• [39:57] When slowly adding more calories into your diet, it helps the body recover. It helps the body get out of that panic and out of that survival mode without shocking it. 

QUOTES: 

[11:07] “I talk all the time about living in the gray area, that in between, where we eat some and exercise some. That is really an area of balance and maintenance, that is in fact a long term strategy. Yet even in the bigger picture, there are times when each of these approaches fit, and a time when there’s another one that fits.” - Jenn Trepeck

[32:26] “We want to be on the same team as our body, instead of always fighting our body.” - Jenn Trepeck

[34:44] “Be more connected to your inner self. Give enough time to rest, to go to nature, and with that, your body can open up and also absorb more love and nutrition into your body, which makes you less hungry and which also makes you more happy to move around. In that case, the weight will go down automatically.” - Nandar

[46:19] “What’s required for this phase to serve you? Recognizing that even here in this phase, consistency is important. We want to also remove the fear from food, remove the fear from eating more, and the way we can do that is focus on the nutrients.” - Jenn Trepeck

[50:56] “Not every moment is a time to push. Sometimes even in a world of balance, we might choose to let things go a little more. You will know when you're ready to shift again.” Jenn Trepeck

[51:20] “It’s all about our self love. However you are feeling right now, if you are not feeling well, we have to take care of ourselves. It is not about how we look on the outside or how much we weigh on the scale, it’s about how we are feeling right now, so that it’s sustainable for the long run.” - Nandar

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

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• [6:21] Chris shares his history as a scientist and discovering a molecule. 
• [10:22] What was the Longevity Health Summit and what experts were a part of it? 
• [14:50] What were the two silver bullets that Chris went into the Summit trying to find?
• [21:45] What is the age escape velocity? 
• [24:29] Chris asked experts in wellness and longevity how long people are going to live.
• [30:48] Are we in control of how long we live and what type of health we are in? 
• [35:47] What were the biggest surprises Chris learned from all of his interviews at the longevity summit?
• [44:27] Why do we not take action on the information we know would help us improve our health? What is getting in our way? 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• [16:51] If you address aging, then you’ll also address Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. 
• [40:51] Mindset is the most important thing when it comes to your health. If you don’t have the mindset to make changes and create healthier habits for yourself, then you ultimately won’t do any of those other habits that increase longevity and prevent disease. 
• [44:31] You’re not where you want to be, not because of what you don’t know, it’s because of what you do know and you’re not doing.
• [47:55] Choosing to overcome something that you really don’t want to do, such as a cold plunge, or a cold shower, or making the bed is great for your brain. 

QUOTES: 

• [15:22] “I hope everybody understands what you just said, that if we call aging a disease, then we can get funding for it, because health does not have funding.” - Jenn Trepeck
• "We need to be addressing aging and you need to be doing everything you possibly can because there's a finish line, and at some point, I believe, there will be the last person to die of natural causes." - Chris Burres     
• "We currently don't separate living longer from living in an infirm state." - Chris Burres
• "In 1950 medical information doubled every 50 years. Today, medical information doubles every 73 days." - Chris Burres
• [45:56] “In any endeavor, I describe it this way, that success is ultimately kind of boring. Whether you think about the success of Michael Phelps, he swam probably at the same pool, at the same time, for decades. He ate the same huge amount of calories every day for decades. This doesn’t sound exciting, this sounds like I wouldn't want to do that, which is why it’s so amazing that he did that. So you really do have to kind of buckle into some of these things that are going to be boring, and they’re really good for you, and you’ve got to be focused on the long haul.” - Chris Burres

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about neural nostalgia. Music binds to our brains differently as teens than as adults. Neural nostalgia is the feeling of being transported back to our teenage years when we hear a specific song from our past. When we hear these songs, our neural pathways associated with the original experience become activated. Neural nostalgia can act as a buffer against daily stress, help us feel more socially connected, and may enhance feelings of wellbeing. What’s your favorite song from your teen years?

The people who live in the Blue Zones are said to be the healthiest, happiest people, with lower rates of chronic diseases and a longer life expectancy. What is behind their longevity and can we learn to implement it into everyday life? Yes, we can! Tune in to learn how. 

This week, Jenn is discussing Blue Zones and how the habits and way of life of those who live in these Blue Zones can be the blueprint for physical and mental health. She discusses what these places have in common when it comes to food/diet, culture, environment, movement, and community. Jenn explains why the way they live their lives leads to longevity, and how we can implement some of those things into our everyday lives. She talks through how the standard American life and habits impact our abilities to live a long healthy life, and what our modern American lives are missing. Tune in to learn more and uncover what you can add into your life to improve your healthspan! 

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: 

• [4:49] Where are the 5 Blue Zones and what qualifies as a Blue Zone?
• [6:33] What are the biggest factors in longevity? 
• [8:12] What do all of these Blue Zones have in common when it comes to food?
• [16:20] How does the environment play into the habits of those living in the Blue Zones?
• [18:49] What does movement look like in the Blue Zones?
• [27:08] What changes are currently being made to try and increase longevity in other cities?
• [30:05] What are the commonalities in the Blue Zone cultures? 
• [32:30] What is the difference between lifespan and healthspan? 
• [36:18] How do these communities share their ups and downs of life?
• [41:45] What are our modern American lives missing? 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• [24:54] The more activity in terms of going about the course of our daily lives, the better. That’s what will make a tremendous difference in our longevity. 
• [36:00] Community is just as important as the food we put into our bodies. Connecting with those around us through the stories we share while breaking bread and having quality friendships can aid in a longer lifespan, as evidenced by the communities within Blue Zones. 
• [42:21] The NIH funded a study for over 11 years, they followed highly functioning people between the ages of 65 and 92 and found that individuals who express a clear goal in life, something to get up for in the morning, something that made a difference, lived longer and were sharper than those who did not.
• [44:07] Only 30% of Americans have purpose in their work. We are generally out of alignment between our values, our purpose, and our work. If we can move toward alignment and have a reason for getting out of bed in the morning, it’s truly transformative in terms of health. 

QUOTES: 

“These are the areas where people are living past 100 years old. They also have the lowest rates of chronic disease. Even with these people who are at 100 or beyond, they have the highest cognitive function, the sharpest memory...far exceeding the physical vitality of what we see elsewhere." - Jenn Trepeck

"Certainly genetics play a factor, but...only about 20-25% of how long we live. The other 75-80% is about our lifestyle, how we're living everyday." – Jenn Trepeck

"They stop eating when they are 80% full, which is not easy for many of us to do." - Jenn Trepeck

[12:18] “So essentially the way Americans eat, it’s like stepping on the gas, pressing down the accelerator pedal of aging and disease, so it’s also a function. I say that just to highlight that this isn’t permanent. It’s not like, oh, we do these things, check the box and we’re done. It’s a continued commitment to these choices in this lifestyle.” - Jenn Trepeck

[36:32] “What we see in the Blue Zones and in these communities with longer health spans is that they laugh together and they cry together, right? That there's emotion in these communities like in Sardinia in particular. They have this healthy social life, at least three friends that you can laugh with and who care about you on a bad day is worth about eight years of life expectancy. In the 80s, Americans had about three friends. Today, we’re down to about two friends that meet that criteria.” - Jenn Trepeck

[40:54] “I think it’s also our modern world where we have such a connection to our work, and then post retirement, we lose our purpose and that’s a major risk factor for deteriorating health.” - Jenn Trepeck

[45:24] “A great little exercise or practice to do for everybody is grab a piece of paper and write down all the activities that you do in your day. The little things like washing your face or even the bigger things, maybe it is your work. Write down the list of the things that you do in a day and then go through, and just highlight the ones that bring you into alignment with your purpose. No judgment, just see how that plays out and then see what happens if you can start to build some things into your day where there’s at least something every day that’s an activity aligned with your purpose.” - Jenn Trepeck

"While Blue Zones have a lot to teach us, I think it's also really heartening that there's nothing there that the rest of us also couldn't do." - Jenn Trepeck
