JJ Virgin talks about:

• How she brought her son back from a point two five percent chance of living at all with even less of a chance of walking or adequate mental function to living a full and happy life today.
• How she stayed operating at 110% day in and day out for months on end to get her son the care he needed.
• The most selfless thing you can do in the role of a caregiver is to take care of yourself first.  Bold statement but I’m quite sure you’re going to like the explanation.
• All the mantras, tactics and mindset practices that JJ had already incorporated going into the ordeal that allowed her to hit the ground running.
• Tapping and the tapping solution.  A very simple and easy to do practice that so many people in the health world swear by to get yourself right in the head in a hurry.
• Asking for help and building your team around you in the midst of a crisis.

Video Interviews and Anticancer How-To’s

Anticancer Inspiration 

 

This was a really, really meaningful interview for me to get to record.  Most of you know the story by now that Teddy and I were getting really into health and fitness for a good period of time before Ryder was diagnosed so we were able to hit the ground running from a research perspective but mostly because of JJ and only JJ also from mindset perspective. We’d heard an interview with her early on talking about the traumatic brain injury her son sustained that all the doctors told her he had little to no chance of living through and the mindset she kept going through it to stay operating at a hundred ten percent for her son and it resonated so much with us we started following her because of it and not long after that Ryder was diagnosed and we did go into that thing guns blazing much more so than if she had never put that spark in our minds.  So yea, very meaningful for us. 😊
