Do you ever feel stuck and wonder why you can’t get unblocked? Do you feel anxious or unwell, but you don’t know why? Or maybe you keep yourself so busy you haven’t had time to feel much at all? 

You’re not alone. 

As adults, we’re often unaware of the ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves from our past, and how those coping mechanisms can affect our mental and physical health. 

In this episode, I have a profound conversation with spiritual teacher, author, and motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein about what happens when we get brave enough to wonder what lives beneath our suffering. 

We’re exploring the impact of past trauma, methods for calming your nervous system, and what you can do to change the behaviors that are preventing your progression. Plus, Gabby shares her personal story of recovery so you can learn from her lessons and transform your health and your life.

Are you still counting calories to lose weight? Most people do, and it’s no wonder—for almost a century, it’s been touted as the most important metric of your diet. 

But I‘m telling you right now, obsessively counting calories is out. There’s a much more effective metric to track, and it can rev your metabolism as much as 30%. I’m talking about macronutrients. 

In this episode, I’m sharing everything you need to know, from what macros are and how to track them to the best way to get enough of each type. Plus, I’m giving you a simple process you can follow to figure out the right ratio of macros for your body and goals.  

If you’re ready to try an approach that makes eating simpler and fat loss practically effortless, check out this episode now!

Tell me if this sounds familiar… 

Most nights, you can’t fall asleep easily, but even when you do sleep well, you feel exhausted. You’re noticing more brain fog, weight gain, sugar cravings, headaches, and food reactions. Or maybe you feel tired and wired at the same time. 

If you relate, you do not want to miss this episode.  I’m joined by Marcelle Pick, OB-GYN nurse practitioner and the co-founder of Women to Women Clinic, for a powerful conversation about adrenal dysfunction, hormones, and your health. 

We’re going to help you understand the symptoms of adrenal dysfunction, how to test for it, and what to do about it. Just as importantly, we’re talking about hidden stressors—and how even your good habits could be exhausting your adrenals.  FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/marcelle

The number one reason people don’t exercise? Time. But what if I told you with just five exercises, you could get stronger, supercharge your fat loss, and start seeing real results? 

In this episode, I’m sharing five extremely functional, easy-to-modify exercises you can do anywhere. That’s all you need to hit every major muscle group. I’m also talking you through proper form, offering modifications for injuries, and giving you variations for focusing on power and strength. 

Plus, I’m telling you exactly which supplements will support your muscle growth, why the scale isn’t a good indicator of change—and how to track your progress instead. 

Go ahead and listen to it now, then watch the video on my YouTube channel to see the moves in action. Feel free to watch and remind yourself of the proper form during your workout, too. 

If you’ve ever used time as an excuse for skipping exercise, this episode is for you!

If you want to naturally support healthy blood sugar, normal blood lipids, and maintain cardiovascular health, your muscles hold the key. 

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified family medicine and fellowship-trained physician, joins me to explain the link between muscles and longevity and the cutting-edge science of muscle-centric medicine. 

Join us as we delve into the newly-understood benefits of muscle, what enhances its quality, and how you can protect it as you age. We’re also talking about what we’ve gotten wrong about resistance training and protein—and Dr. Lyons drops a bomb about plant protein that absolutely shocked me. 

I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode! It’s a game-changer for everyone who wants to live full out to 100 and stay forever strong.
