The Next Frontier Files: Ask the Robot vs. the Tried & True (vol. 4)

A robot showed up in everyone's pocket, and it changed how guests answered one simple question for an entire year. This episode of The Next Frontier Files rewinds to year four, when artificial intelligence collided with gut health, hormone balance, and a growing call to return to species-specific diet basics.

Jenn Trepeck weaves together voices from across the year four of Salad With a Side of Fries to show which predictions about wellness coaching and technology came true and which the industry has already moved past.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

✅ How artificial intelligence started shaping the conversation around personal health and wellness coaching back in year four

✅ Why several guests pushed back on technology and pointed back to basic eating instead

✅ How gut health, blood sugar, and hormone balance kept surfacing as a common thread across very different specialties

✅ Which prediction about body positivity and the fitness industry turned out to be the most accurate in the show's history
