"Nature has never allowed an injury that she didn't already have a solution to." - Dr. Zach Bush

In this transformative episode, I sat down with Dr. Zach Bush, a physician whose journey from ICU medicine to understanding the human ecosystem has revolutionized how we think about health and healing. We explored the profound connection between human health and our relationship with nature, diving deep into why illness isn't a failure of the body but often a reset mechanism for healing. Dr. Bush shared groundbreaking insights about how our disconnection from nature has led to chronic disease, and more importantly, how we can reverse this through simple, powerful reconnections with the natural world. His message of hope – that we can restore our health and the planet's wellbeing through embracing nature's intelligence – couldn't come at a more critical time for women seeking genuine, sustainable wellness solutions.

What you'll learn:

• Why getting sick isn't a failure of your immune system, but often a necessary reset mechanism

• How our obsession with "killing germs" is actually compromising our health and resilience

• The surprising truth about human biology - we're not just a body, but a complex ecosystem

• Why connecting with nature is more powerful than any biohacking technique

• The revolutionary approach to healing that starts with curiosity and self-discovery

• How women's intuitive, process-oriented nature holds the key to both personal and planetary healing

• The power of witnessing and being witnessed in our healing journey

Is coconut oil your friend or is it a foe? What about corn and canola oil? In this episode, JJ Virgin takes an in-depth look at dietary fats, debunking the claims made by the American Heart Association about coconut oil and telling you which oils you should choose to fight disease, lose weight, and have great energy. Achieve better health both inside and out by making a shift in the oils you’re using today!  

Key takeaways:

[1:28] Make an oil change to reduce inflammation.

[2:35] American Heart Association claims that saturated fats like coconut oil cause cardiovascular disease.

[3:15] The fats in coconut oil can actually help prevent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke, increase your metabolism and make you feel less hungry. 

[4:34] Coconut oil can help reduce overall cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 

[4:54] American Heart Association claims that coconut oil has no known health benefits.

[5:21] Coconut oil is a proven antibacterial and antifungal that can also help fight disease and aging. It helps speed up wound healing and makes your hair thicker and fuller.

[6:18] Vegetable oils should not be a part of your diet – they are high in omega-6 fatty acids, pro-inflammatory, and easily oxidize.

[6:40] Oxidized fats have been linked to numerous health issues.

[8:03] Always choose organic, unrefined, cold-pressed or expeller-pressed oils in dark bottles.

[8:38] Extra-virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil is one of the best choices

[9:34] Extra-virgin, cold-pressed organic olive oil benefits and uses

[10:22] Avocado oil benefits and uses

[12:45] Grass-fed ghee benefits and ways to cook with it

[13:10] Virgin, unrefined red palm oil is the most popular oil in the world with many benefits, but you need to be sure it comes from a sustainable source.

[14:10] JJ likes macadamia nut oil and walnut oil in salad dressings.

[15:16] Sesame oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids, but it has a great flavor in Asian recipes.

[15:43] Canola oil should be avoided – it’s a highly refined and processed oil that can easily become rancid.  

[18:50] Lose more weight and keep it off by starting your day with a healthy shake.

[19:02] Listener’s question: How do you improve hair health?

[20:41] Hypothyroidism, estrogen imbalance, and low iron levels can all affect your hair.

JJ dives deep into the subject of hormone imbalance - especially the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone & testosterone. Learn how to read the signs of both low and high imbalances. The importance of checking your thyroid and adrenals, watching your diet,  insulin considerations, improving the quality of your sleep, and handling stress. There are smart, natural choices to help keep your hormones cycling in the best possible ways!

[10:35] Your blood sugar balance is vital! Here’s how you can learn how many and what kind of carbs you can handle.

JJ Virgin shares the perfect strategies & hacks to get you back on track when life tries to derail you from pursuing your health goals. She gives specific advice for each of the most common situations, including: during and after being sick or injured; travel challenges; and (of course) those well-meaning family and friends. Check out JJ’s Mindset CPR and other strategies and you’ll always have an effective way to turn your situation around!

Key Takeaways:

[1:26] Why do we get off course? Getting sick, injuries, travelling, and family crises are the most obvious, but it’s a surprising common problem that some of us actually don’t feel we are worthy! 

[2:16] When you are sick or injured it is even more important to take better care of yourself. And sorry, but “comfort foods” are definitely NOT the answer…

[2:31] If you are sick, have bone broth! Check this article for a deeper dive: http://www.getjjv.com/bone-broth

[3:10] Get more protein — L-glutamine in particular can help when you are sick or injured.

[3:24] The worst thing you can do is to turn to sugar; it lowers your immune system.

[4:01] Fever or achy joints are signs for you NOT to workout.

[4:50] Start moving again — easy exercising — when you feel weak, but getting better.

[6:13] Plan ahead when you are travelling — take your blender!

[7:20] Try to know the places where you will go, Whole Foods can be delivered, too!

[8:43] Make sure you have a gym in your hotel, not a fitness room!

[9:20] Friends and family: if they are not with you in your health choices, do not try to evangelize them, just be the best role model.

[10:33] Setting boundaries with your family.

[12:18] When you have a purpose that is big enough, you can push through obstacles, and build resilience. What are your reasons? WHY are those reasons important to you?

[13:30] Check out my blog article “Ten Ways to Supercharge Your Metabolism” for more tips:

If you struggle with anxiety, then you know how it can alter your life, including your relationships and career. There’s hope, and my guest today is a great place to start. Nationally renowned psychologist Dr. Joan Rosenberg has been the featured expert on numerous national TV shows and in documentary films, and she’s developed a groundbreaking way to master your emotions. Today she’ll explain the real source of anxiety, the meaning behind the uncomfortable physical symptoms it brings, and how to ride that wave to a place of strength and emotional resilience. Dr. Joan’s voice alone is enough to reassure and calm you, but what she has to say can change your life.

Did you know the average American is aging faster than they should? It’s true. Your biological age tends to be older than your actual age, and most of us will spend the last 16 years of our lives managing multiple illnesses.

Needless to say, we need to do something about this—and fast. 

Fortunately, we can. In this episode, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about her mind-blowing study, in which they de-aged people by three years in just eight weeks. She’s going to explain the study, what they learned about the real levers of aging, why genetics aren’t as influential as we previously thought, and what we can all start doing today to live better for longer. You’re going to be shocked by how simple it is to literally turn back the clock.

If you've ever struggled with what to feed your kids or find they seem to bounce from one ear infection to the next, I've got the perfect guest for you today! Dr. Sheila Kilbane is a board-certified pediatrician who works with families to use natural and nutritional therapies to get to the root of kids' health problems. Instead of simply treating symptoms or disease, it's time to start using diet and naturopathic practices to prevent health issues before they happen. The success stories and insight she shares today will make you rethink what you know about taking care of your kids or grandkids.

Twenty-seven million Americans have some type of thyroid dysfunction, and many don't even know it. Conventional medicine dictates that thyroid issues be treated with medication or surgery. But there are many more holistic options that can restore your thyroid function, and my guest today will explain why. Dr. Amy Meyers is the best-selling author of The Autoimmune Solution, and her new book, The Thyroid Connection, explains how to use diet and other integrative medicine approaches to heal your thyroid. Dr. Meyers has a super interesting background and an amazing take on autoimmune disease that you can't afford to miss.

Did you know that postmenopausal women are at a significantly higher risk of conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia? On top of that, we often deal with brain fog, chronic inflammation, bloating, and other frustrating symptoms. 

The good news is you don’t have to sit back and accept it. 

You can start protecting yourself against these risks right now. Based on years of research, I created a supplement regimen that makes me feel better now than I did in my 20s. In this episode, I’m sharing my top five supplements for post-menopausal women, so you can feel your best, too. I'm betting that most of these will be new to you, so have a listen (and be sure to talk to your doctor about anything you incorporate into your routine).

Video: Feel Great & Lose Weight After Menopause!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXtm-JqSaZo

You do not want to miss today's show! I'm joined by Emily Fletcher, a Broadway star with infectious energy and personality who also happens to be an expert on meditation. Learn about Emily's program, ZivaMIND meditation, and how meditation can help you lose weight, heal, and have a dramatic, positive impact on your life. Hear real life examples and the science behind what meditation can accomplish for your mind and body. Emily actually convinced me to start meditating, something I never thought I'd do! I'm betting you'll feel the same way after you listen to what she has to say.

If losing weight feels like a losing battle, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Gin Stephens, a science teacher turned fasting expert, who lost 80 pounds––and has kept it off for 10 years—with intermittent fasting. 

In this discussion, we're talking about the hardest part of intermittent fasting: getting started. After speaking with thousands of people and discovering why they give up, Gin created a simple approach for establishing the habit, sticking with it, and finally seeing results.

We cover common misconceptions about fasting, why intuitive eating may have failed you, and how achieving metabolic flexibility can change your relationship with food.

Plus, Gin shares her tips for dealing with hunger and cravings, and the magic of giving fasting a try for 28 days. 

If your metabolic health is on your mind, this conversation is going to give you some serious food for thought.

Almost every American has experienced brain fog at some point. You don't feel quite like ourself: not as sharp and focused, more forgetful and moody. Today, I'm joined by the delightful Dr. Mike Dow, psychotherapist and my fellow co-star of TLC's Freaky Eaters, among his numerous other TV appearances. Mike is an expert on brain fog, a precursor to dementia that's so widespread in the US, they had to invent a medical diagnosis for it! He'll explain the connection between what you eat and issues such as mild depression, anxiety, and forgetfulness, then introduce you to his book and program, The Brain Fog Fix. Mike is an insightful, funny guy, and I can't wait for you to hear his take on this common cognitive issue and its fixes.

I had big plans for my 60th birthday. A full hysterectomy wasn’t one of them. But due to an unexpected diagnosis, I ended up having one anyway. 

The good news? Thanks to some key habits, it was easier than I dreamed possible. 

In this episode, I’m sharing everything I did to prepare my body and mind for surgery and healing, so I could accept this health challenge, minimize muscle loss during recovery, and come back strong.

In this show I'm diving deep into the thyroid with clinical pharmacist Dr. Izabella Wentz. After Dr. Wentz was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2009, she dedicated herself to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease. You're going to learn the common symptoms and causes of Hypothyroidism, important information on labs tests your doctor probably isn't ordering (including 3 lab test to get ASAP), one nutrient that could help reduce thyroid antibodies, reduce anxiety, help with weight loss, and so much more. Plus, if you're taking thyroid medication and it's not working, Dr. Wentz shares why. By the time you're done listening to this episode, you're going to have exact steps you can take to start treating the root cause of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and take back control of your health!

On this episode you're going to hear me talk with Bridgit Danner who has practiced Chinese Medicine for nearly 12 years and performed over 12,000 treatments - but before this, she had a health crisis after she had her baby. That health crisis led her to discovering online coaches that pulled her out of overwhelm, meeting a naturopath that steered her towards better nutrition and functional medicine, and transforming her health from postpartum depression, mononucleosis and adrenal fatigue to fit and balanced. Everything she learned on her journey back to health is part of what Bridgit now shares as a woman's health expert. In this conversation you're going to hear me and Bridgit discuss how to eat healthier, signs and symptoms of perimenopause you should watch for, what you can do if you have fibroids, how to take even better care of yourself and much more!

What does it take to heal when you're sick, you've gone everywhere and no one can figure out what is wrong with you? That's what you're going to discover on this episode as I talk with my guest Dr. Shiroko Sokitch. You're going to hear about the miracles she's seen with her patients and the missing ingredient that can change everything in your healing journey. You'll hear what Dr. Shiroko has seen time and time again with her patients that have led them from being chronically sick with no answers to being better than ever!

Yes, you can turn back the clock on your skin’s appearance—without surgery. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Anthony Youn, holistic plastic surgeon, to tell you how.

He explains how minding what you eat, when you eat, and your supplements and skincare can give you incredible skin that will have strangers asking for your secrets. He also outlines his game-changing “Two Minutes, Five Years Younger” skincare routine. 

Plus, he busts myths about collagen supplementation and skincare claims, weighs in on popular beauty ingredients, shares the best treatments you can do at home, and divulges the best bang for your buck when you go to the med spa.

If you want the cheat code for glowing, healthy skin, this episode is for you!

How does a great night's sleep matter? For just about everything, from energy to fat burning! You know the caffeinated aftermath of a terrible night's sleep. In this podcast, I'll also talk about the hormonal havoc just one night's sleep can create. You'll understand why poor sleep makes you wired and tired, and why we frequently exacerbate that vicious cycle. I'll dissect what a good night's sleep means and some simple strategies that help you get 7 - 9 hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep. You might not even know what a good night's sleep is, it's been so long since you've had one! You'll learn the optimal time to exercise for a great night's sleep, nutrients to help you slumber soundly, and why meal timing matters so much to slumber soundly. These strategies guarantee an amazing night's sleep so you feel great and burn fat all day.

When you zero in on one thing, you can create big changes. In this podcast, I'll show you how picking just one little thing to improve can yield lasting changes. I'll talk about some bad habits that you can make simple swaps for, and how to permanently transform those habits. I'm talking about your diet, of course, but how you do one thing is how you do everything. Take coffee: if you're used to making your morning java a super-sweet, super-creamy milkshake, I mean drink, I'll show you some simple, equally satisfying low-sugar impact swaps. You can carry that momentum throughout the day with other strategies I'll share. I'll give you the morning strategy I always do to reach your goals and my one big strategy for fast, lasting fat loss. (It has nothing to do with diet or exercise!) And I'll give you one needle mover that doubles your weight loss. If you've got pesky habits (diet or otherwise) you want to transform, you can't afford to miss this podcast!

Do you have that one friend or family member who innocently or not-so-innocently tries to sabotage your success? They can really break you down and jinx your success, right? In this podcast, I'll give you simple strategies to not let such people sabotage your fat loss and health without making a scene (or making an enemy!). You might not change their mind, but you'll be able to bring them onto your side and maintain your success.

Can changing your diet calm your mind? New science is saying it can.

In this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Uma Naidoo about anxiety in women over 40 and why changing what’s on your plate could change your mood. Dr. Naidoo founded the first hospital-based nutrition psychiatry practice in the country, meaning she is on the cutting edge of understanding the gut-brain connection and its impact on hormones and mental health. 

From the overlooked nutrients you should be monitoring to crucial dietary shifts and beneficial spices to try, Dr. Naidoo has helpful strategies you can begin using today to support your mind and body. 

If you’ve been anxious, struggling with sleep, or generally feeling out of sorts, make sure you don’t miss a moment of this episode!

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.

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.

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.

If you said yes to either of those questions, I have one word for you: protein. The fact is, if you’re not getting enough protein, you’re going to have a hard time achieving your fitness goals. Not only that, it could take a truly devastating toll on your health and your metabolism.

In this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how much protein to eat, what kind of protein to eat, and when to eat it. I’m also explaining how vegetarians and vegans can get enough protein to build muscle and burn fat—without eating too much.

Do women really need to approach fasting and their health differently than men?

The answer is a resounding yes. And as you get older, those needs become even more specific down to the stage of menopause that you’re in—so much so that women in perimenopause need a different approach than postmenopausal women to feel energetic and strong. 

In this episode, I’m joined by women's hormone & fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to talk about how women over 40 can create a lifestyle that keeps their hormones thriving. We’re covering what women before and after menopause need to know about their hormones, when and how to fast, and how to work with your body to feel your best. 

Plus, I’m asking Dr. Pelz my burning question: Are fasting and building muscle at odds? 

You’ll definitely want to hear her response.
