"Protein is the unlock that a lot of people aren't using. It supports blood sugar balance, keeps you feeling full, and helps maintain muscle mass—crucial as we age." - Kelly LeVeque
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kelly LeVeque, a clinical nutritionist, celebrity health coach, and bestselling author of Body Love.
Kelly's story is particularly resonant as she navigates the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while balancing the demands of being a mother of three young children. Her expertise in blood-sugar balance and protein intake provides invaluable guidance for those of us aiming to stay energized and vibrant. Kelly emphasizes the importance of getting the basics right—prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and fiber in our diets to maintain stable blood-sugar levels and support overall health.
Throughout our conversation, Kelly delves into the science of how protein aids in blood sugar balance, debunks common myths about protein intake, and shares her practical tips for incorporating more protein into our diets. She also addresses the often overlooked role of amino acids in regulating hunger hormones and supporting muscle maintenance, which is crucial for aging powerfully.
We also touch on the impact of industrial seed oils and the importance of choosing whole, unprocessed foods to reduce inflammation and promote health. Kelly's approach is not about rigid dieting but about understanding our body's needs and fueling it properly to achieve lasting wellness.
To get more actionable tips from Kelly, download her Fab Four guide at jjvirgin.com/kelly. This guide will help you build balanced meals that support your health goals and make meal prep a breeze. Tune in to this episode to learn more about Kelly’s balanced approach to nutrition and get inspired to take charge of your health journey.

If belly fat has become your nemesis, especially as you age, this episode is your guide to fighting back. We're diving deep into the science of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), that sneaky belly fat hidden deep within your abdominal cavity surrounding vital organs. It's not the pinchable stuff; it's the insidious kind linked to serious health risks like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. But don't worry, I've got you covered with effective strategies to tackle it head-on.
First, I reveal the essential step with your food intake that you need to master before anything else will work. Then, I share the impact that different types of physical activity (like walking, running, HIIT, and resistance training) have on VAT fat. Plus, we'll explore the importance of quality sleep and hormonal balance, especially if you're navigating menopause.
Join me in this transformative episode where I blend practical tips with personal insights, including my own struggles and triumphs. Let’s make middle age the prime time for your best health yet.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Tony Horton, the legendary creator of P90X, a workout program that has transformed countless lives. Tony's journey is nothing short of inspiring, especially for women navigating the unique challenges of life after 40. At 65, Tony's commitment to fitness and personal growth is evident in every story he shares and the actionable advice he offers.
Tony's path to becoming a fitness icon had its challenges. He candidly talks about overcoming personal and professional obstacles, including moments of self-doubt and the pressures of sustaining a career in an ever-evolving industry. His experiences resonate deeply with anyone who's had to pivot and adapt, particularly as we age and our bodies demand different approaches to health and wellness. One key takeaway from our conversation is the importance of variety and listening to your body, especially as women experience hormonal changes during perimenopause and postmenopause.
We delved into Tony's collaboration with Dr. Mindy Pelz, who helped tailor his rigorous P90X program to better suit women's hormonal cycles. This adaptation underscores a crucial lesson: one size does not fit all, and understanding your body's needs can lead to more effective and sustainable fitness routines. Tony's emphasis on modifying workouts to prevent burnout and promote long-term health is invaluable advice for anyone, but particularly for women striving to maintain their vitality and strength as they age.
Tony's stories of working with celebrities and even military personnel highlight his broad impact and the universal appeal of his fitness philosophies. Yet, it's his personal anecdotes and genuine passion for helping others that truly stand out. As he puts it, "Failing is awesome. If you're paying attention, you're learning. And if you're learning, you're growing and transforming." This mindset is a powerful reminder that every setback is an opportunity for growth, a message that will resonate with anyone facing the inevitable ups and downs of life.
I invite you to listen to the full episode to soak in more of Tony's wisdom and practical tips. His insights are sure to inspire you to embrace a more mindful, varied approach to fitness and personal development. Tune in and let Tony Horton's journey motivate you to take charge of your health and well-being, no matter your age.

Are you putting in the effort but not seeing the results you deserve? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the common pitfalls that might be sabotaging your fat-loss journey. It’s not your fault! Some surprisingly simple, yet often overlooked, mistakes can trip up your progress.
First off, are you getting enough of the right nutrients? Many of us don’t realize that during caloric restriction, adequate amounts of certain macronutrients are crucial for keeping hunger at bay and preserving muscle mass.
Another biggie is activity level. When you cut calories, your body naturally tries to conserve energy, leading to decreased movement. This can significantly impact your fat-loss efforts. I’ll provide practical tips on how to keep your activity levels up throughout the day, even incorporating simple changes like standing more or taking walking meetings.
We’ll also touch on the importance of hydration, resistance training, and accurately tracking your food intake. I’ve got you covered with actionable steps to ensure you stay hydrated, build muscle, and keep your metabolism revved up.
Join me for a deep dive into these five critical mistakes and learn how to avoid them for optimal fat loss. Let’s transform those struggles into successes together.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Elena Zinkov takes listeners on her personal journey through early perimenopause, hormone imbalance, and postpartum autoimmune challenges. She shares how these experiences motivated her to explore holistic solutions for women's health beyond traditional approaches.
