Episode #231: Mastering Optimal Health with JJ Virgin: Protein, Fasting, & Resistance Training Insights
If you’re interested in separating fact from fiction in the world of diet and exercise, this episode is for you!
In today’s conversation, I talk with JJ Virgin about her career journey and the lessons she has learned in the health and fitness industry. We discuss the flaws of traditional fitness advice, the importance of personal experience in coaching, and the misconceptions of weight loss and exercise. We also explore the role of genetics and history in fitness, the influence of media and misleading headlines, and the challenges of vegan and vegetarian diets. This conversation emphasizes the importance of eating protein first, building resilience, and finding balance in health and wellness. The importance of a well-designed program for weight loss is emphasized. Restoring insulin sensitivity is crucial for fat burning and muscle building. We even discuss the benefits of GLP-1 and GIP antagonists in improving metabolic health.
We dive into the importance of protein and resistance training, as well as the limitations of walking as exercise. This episode offers guidance on reintroducing foods for gut health, the value of prebiotic fiber and fermented foods, and the importance of preparing foods correctly. JJ Virgin also explains the role of intermittent fasting and amino acids in health.
JJ Virgin is a triple-board certified nutrition expert and Fitness Hall of Famer, JJ is a passionate advocate of nutrition’s healing power and is mission driven to ignite a movement of women choosing to age powerfully. JJ is a 3x Inc. 5000 Founder and a top 10 finalist for the John C Maxwell Award. As an authority on transformational leadership, she has coached some of the biggest names in health and transformed the lives of millions of people around the world.
