If your fear of weight gain is holding you back from nourishing your body the way you KNOW you need to, know you’re not alone 💕
It’s one of the most common fears that my clients dealt with, and I did as well! But the thing is, until you fully ditch that fear and go all-in on loving yourself, you’re going to keep staying stuck 😖
If you’re looking to find a good relationship with food and your body, ditch the restriction, and focus on nourishment – especially with those healthy fats. No fear required! ✌🏼
Send me a DM today to set up a Discovery Call. 2 client spaces available to start right now ☀️

Dieting is a slippery slope that can get really dangerous really quickly 😖
I have vivid memories of refusing to eat food that I didn’t prepare for myself – or if I did, I made sure to “fast” aka starve myself before those meals to “make up” for it 😭
But these toxic dieting habits are not helpful OR effective ❌
In fact, restrictive diets aren’t only ineffective long term, they often result in more weight gain over time, and a pretty messed up relationship with food too.
Looking for some true guidance on how to eat in a way to support your body? I’m here to help 💕 Schedule a Discovery Call through the link in my bio!
(Also - wow I miss my bangs!)

Uncomplicating Wellness with Jenn Trepeck
Jenn Trepeck has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space. She is a Health and Lifestyle Coach, Podcaster, and 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. Jenn’s debut book, Uncomplicating Wellness (October 2025), offers a science-based yet practical approach to cut through the noise of the wellness industry and help readers finally trust their bodies again.
In this episode, we cover:
- how the wellness industry is just new branding of the old diet culture
- how to spot BS health advice online
- learning how to read your body's signals
- how to reframe your New Year's resolution to make you actually stick to it.. and more!
You can connect with her over on Instagram:

Gut health and food freedom can be a lot harder to achieve once you’re a mom.
Not because you care less about your health, but because your meals are interrupted, rushed, or eaten standing up. Because you’re finishing bites instead of sitting down to your own plate. Because you’re thinking about everyone else’s preferences before you even check in with your own hunger.
And when digestion feels off or food feels stressful, it’s easy to blame yourself, assume you’re doing something wrong, or that you just need more willpower or structure.
But a lot of the time, it’s not about food choices at all. It’s about consistency, nourishment, and having enough space for your body to feel supported. And those are things that are genuinely harder to come by when you’re taking care of other people all day.
Food freedom as a mom isn’t about perfection. It’s about building something that actually works in the middle of real life - mess, interruptions, leftovers, and all.
Sometimes that might mean shifting your eating schedule to be DURING the time your baby or eats, even if it’s early. Because early is better than not at all.
Do you have trouble fitting in time for meals? Let’s troubleshoot down below 👇🏼

Are you accidentally undereating? Because most women are.
Not in an intentional, dieting way. More in a quiet, normalized way that just kind of sneaks in.
Meals get skipped because the day gets busy. Portions get smaller because January feels like a time to “rein it in.” Carbs slowly disappear because they’ve been labeled as something to earn back later.
And then your body starts sending feedback. Energy dips. Digestion feels off. Cravings get louder. Hormones feel less steady. Things that once felt manageable suddenly feel harder.
What I wish more women knew is that eating enough isn’t something you graduate to once everything else is “in order.” It’s the thing that allows the body to function well in the first place.
Your gut needs fuel to do its job.
Your hormones rely on consistent energy.
Your nervous system feels safer when food is predictable and sufficient.
For a lot of people, feeling better doesn’t start with cutting foods out. It starts with eating more regularly, being less afraid of carbohydrates, and letting nourishment be supportive instead of stressful.
If January has quietly pulled you toward eating less, this is your reminder that more might actually be what your body needs..

One of the first things I do with new clients is have them fill out the MSQ - the Medical Symptoms Questionnaire.
And most people are shocked when they go through it and realize that their day-to-day experiences are really symptoms that something underlying is going on. I usually get, “I thought everyone felt like this.” (bloated, daily headaches, congestion, etc.)
As we work together - supporting digestion, hormones, nervous system regulation, nourishment, and consistency - something really cool happens.
The score starts to go down.
Clients notice they’re less bloated, sleeping better, feeling calmer, and dealing with fewer “random” symptoms.
Progress isn’t always dramatic or overnight, but seeing those numbers drop over time is one of the clearest signs that the body is responding to support. And it’s definitely one of the best parts of my job. :) Supporting people through these changes!

Something I talk about a lot with clients is how misunderstood women’s energy really is.
Many women notice they feel stronger, more motivated, and more capable during certain weeks of their cycle (often during the follicular phase, when estrogen is rising). Estrogen supports things like muscle performance, resilience to stress, and overall drive, so it makes sense that workouts feel better and goals feel more doable during that time.
Then the luteal phase comes around. Estrogen drops, progesterone rises, and suddenly the same expectations feel heavier. Energy dips, stress tolerance is lower, and pushing the same way can feel much harder.
This doesn’t mean you suddenly lost motivation, or that you aren’t disciplined enough. You’re not doing anything wrong: it’s BIOLOGY.
The problem is that most health advice online - ESPECIALLY in January - assumes you should feel the same every day. When that doesn’t happen, women start blaming themselves instead of adjusting how they care for their bodies.
Real hormone support looks like flexibility. Some weeks are great for intensity and challenge. Other weeks are better for nourishment, steadiness, and lowering the bar just enough to stay consistent.
Working with your cycle doesn’t mean doing less - it means doing what actually supports your body in that season.

January has a funny way of convincing women that the answer is always to take up less space. Which usually means eating less, exercising more, and constantly being aware of the space your body takes up.
But for most bodies (especially stressed, tired, postpartum, or hormonally sensitive ones), that approach just creates more issues: poor digestion, low energy, intense cravings, and a really complicated relationship with food.
Your body isn’t going to thrive when you’re not nourishing it.
What you really need is consistency, nourishment, and probably a little encouragement from someone like me.
If January wellness advice has you feeling worse instead of better, it’s okay to opt out. Send to a friend that needs to hear this!

Vaccines are one of the most thoroughly tested and continuously monitored medical tools we have. The current childhood immunization schedule was developed over decades of research, clinical trials, and real-world evidence showing dramatic reductions in disease, hospitalization, and death from once-common infections.
Historically, vaccines have:
💉 Prevented millions of cases of disease
💉 Cut hospitalizations drastically
💉 Nearly eliminated illnesses like polio and measles in high-coverage areas
💉 Protected vulnerable people through community immunity
The science behind that isn’t opinion; it’s decades of rigorous research and monitoring.
Recently, there have been changes to the standard vaccine schedule, including reducing the number of universally recommended vaccines and shifting others to “shared decision-making.”
Many experts, including pediatricians and infectious disease specialists, are concerned about this. They warn that altering recommendations without strong, transparent evidence could reduce vaccine uptake and lead to increases in preventable diseases like flu, measles, rotavirus, and whooping cough - illnesses we used to see regularly before vaccines were widely used.
Those decisions haven’t gone through the usual advisory and scientific review processes, and in some cases were driven by individuals without immunology or public health expertise.
PUBLIC HEALTH SHOULD BE BUILT ON EVIDENCE AND NOT POLITICS.
Here’s the key thing:
💉 Vaccines are safe and effective.
💉 The old/current schedule is based on a huge body of scientific evidence.
💉 Changes to public health recommendations should be made with strong data and expert consensus.
Yes, I’m into functional medicine, but part of the reason people are even around to function is because they’ve been vaccinated against diseases that used to kill SO MANY MORE PEOPLE.
Science saves lives - and vaccines are a major part of that story. 💙

If January already has you thinking about how to “do better” with food or your body, I want to pause you for a second.
Most of the women I work with aren’t lacking motivation or discipline. They’re overwhelmed, under-supported, and trying to figure everything out on their own - usually while caring for everyone else, too.
Gut issues, hormone symptoms, low energy, and food stress don’t show up because you’re doing something wrong. They’re often signs that your body needs more consistency, more nourishment, and less pressure.
That’s where 1:1 coaching can help.
It’s a space to slow things down, eat enough without fear, support digestion and hormones in a way that actually fits your life, and stop feeling like you need to “start over” every January.
If that sounds like what you’ve been craving, I’d love to talk.
DM me and we can see if it’s a good fit 🤍
