Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenn Trepeck.
Hi Jenn, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
Salad with a Side of Fries was born from my own weight struggle. Growing up a dancer then gaining weight between high school and college, I was the poster child for the diet industry’s consumer. Trying everything out there, over and over, living on the yo-yo rollercoaster. That is, until I found the curriculum I based my practice on. It is the ONLY thing that’s allowed me to say I’ve kicked my food issues. I believed everyone deserved this information, and I set out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. I started health coaching as a side hustle in late 2007. Finally, in July 2019, I left my full-time job (in hedge funds) and decided to give my all to my own business. In August of 2019, I launched the podcast, Salad with a Side of Fries to reach a larger audience and support the health and well-being of even more people around the world.
What motivates me is the mission behind everything I do: to change the state of healthcare. To empower people to reclaim control of their health is, in my opinion, the greatest gift we can offer. So often, we don’t think about the importance of our health until we don’t have it. Hearing from podcast listeners on the changes they’ve made because of something they heard on the show and connecting with my clients weekly, witnessing their transformations, helping them see their own progress is the greatest gift.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Taking a step without knowing the one that will follow. Some might say it’s risky to leave a full-time job and go out on your own, but I believe nothing is permanent unless I decide it is. This approach has made it easier to take a step without knowing what will come after, whether that be where it will lead or what my own next move will be. I think it’s essential that a business owner is willing to lead without necessarily seeing the entire path ahead!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
Salad with a Side of Fries is a podcast and health coaching practice. We provide clients and listeners with the tools, approachable science, empowerment, and motivation to live their healthiest, happiest lives. I often say I teach the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know, but no one ever taught us. As a result, you look better, feel better, have more energy, and as a side effect, drop the excess body fat.
Our typical clients fit into one of three categories: 1. They’ve been on every diet under the sun, weight has been a thing their whole life, and they need it not to be anymore. 2. weight has never been an issue until…(the pandemic, a diagnosis, threat of a diagnosis) or 3. They don’t have weight to lose; they want to be healthier and know what to listen to and what to ignore from everything they hear and see in the news and on the internet.
It’s all about empowering each person to be their own best guide and health advocate, helping them decipher fad and fact, and combat the often-harmful confusion we see from the diet, wellness, and food industries.
