At 60, JJ Virgin looks better than most people half her age, but her approach to hormones and supplements might surprise you. In this Fitness Friday episode, we dive into her specific protocols and why the "most studied" supplement isn't always the best choice.
We also discuss a shocking body composition case study: how someone went from 25% to 10% body fat with only a 3-pound scale change, proving why tracking the right metrics matters more than the number on your bathroom scale.
JJ Virgin is a 4-time New York Times bestselling author and celebrity nutrition expert who's been in the health and wellness space for over 30 years. She's the creator of the Virgin Diet and founder of the Well Beyond 40 podcast.
What we discuss:
Why Starting HRT at the First Signs of Hormone Shifts Changes Everything
The Specific Symptoms That Signal It's Time to Consider Hormone Therapy
How to Navigate HRT When Doctors Aren't Trained in Menopause
Why 85% of Regular Creatine Never Enters Your Bloodstream
The Real Science Behind Creatine HCL vs Monohydrate for Women
Using Creatine for Jet Lag, Mental Performance, and Brain Health
Why Women Over 40 Should Prioritize Creatine Above Most Other Supplements
