160: The Powerful Connection Between Food & Mood with Jenn Trepeck

Jenn Trepeck is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. She is one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 Under 40 features and was a nominee for the International Women's Podcast Awards of 2022. 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.

In this episode, we cover:

- how being part of a "diet family" influenced her childhood

- how frustrating it is that no one gives us the tools to be healthy

- the chemical connection between food and mood

- the impact of alcohol on health and weight

... and more!
