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. We delve into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.

In today’s episode we’re answering your questions on supplements. We discuss everything from filling in the gaps where our nutrition falls short, calorie intake, supplement approvals, how to know if you should take supplements, genetic factors, superfoods, and the reasons why we can't supplement our way out of poor nutrition.

Join us as we answer all these wonderful questions sent in by our members at Salad With a Side of Fries.
