In this episode, meet Jenn Trepeck, an optimal health coach, podcaster, and business consultant who aims to educate people on the importance of nutrition. During the interview, we dive deep into epigenetics, how our lifestyle choices influence gene expression and the importance of making small daily choices to improve our health. Jenn emphasizes how young people often focus on aesthetics rather than health, but early attention to health can have significant long-term benefits.
 
She also explores the importance of habit-building and focusing on one task at a time to make lasting progress. Jenn discusses the connection between epigenetics and metabolism, emphasizing that quality nutrition creates optimal health-supporting genes, while obesity and lack of nutrition create a less health-supporting environment.

Jenn Trepeck has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space, has been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, and was nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters, which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know, but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.
