  • Great Core Messages

    As a senior guy, I have been listening to this and other podcasts to learn more about GLP-1’s, health and longevity. JJ brings a lot of good information via knowledgeable guests most weeks. Some more discussions for men vs women and all age groups would be a great addition.

  • Great info- too much product promotion

    I have followed JJ since her first book and found her plans very helpful. Please include an episode on Hashimoto‘s especially for women like me who are 66 have been suffering for 10 years and are now experiencing significant weight gain. My only criticism is the constant pushing of products. People like me can follow a healthy lifestyle, but cannot afford the products that JJ is promoting. My concern is whether I need some or all of these products in order to accomplish the life that JJ is prom... more

  • Well beyond 40 podcast review

    I love this podcast!!

    As a woman over 40 I love all the great, insightful information JJ offers. She talks about so many different topics. It’s just nice to listen to a podcast that’s directed to women my age and older.

    Thank you for all the great information :)

  • If almost every episode…

    culminates in a recommendation for JJ’s products whose interests are being represented? Also, many statements and recommendations contain questionable pseudoscience that lack reliable proof.

  • Love the info, hate the supplements promotion

    Just started listening to JJ about a month ago and really love the great information, especially as it relates to strength training! Not crazy about the constant self promotion of products from your store.

Cellular Renewal: Why Spermidine May Be Key to Aging Well with Leslie Kenny
Q: Where can people get spermidine from food, and how can they tell whether a supplement is high quality?
Kenny names natto and shiitake mushrooms as food sources, while noting that amounts vary with growing conditions. She recommends checking supplement sourcing and testing, and warns that synthetic spermidine has not yet been tested for safety or efficacy in humans.
Cellular Renewal: Why Spermidine May Be Key to Aging Well with Leslie Kenny
Q: What is the right model for aging if it is not simply damage accumulating and the body wearing out?

Q: What are the various things that a sauna can be used for that have actual clinical evidence?
Zack discusses far-infrared research on inflammation, cardiovascular outcomes, muscle recovery and exercise capacity, and describes a Japanese protocol using 15 minutes of far-infrared followed by a warm blanket.

Q: What is something that people are getting completely wrong about saunas right now?
Zack says people often focus too much on red light and overlook near-infrared, which she considers a powerful component of light therapy.
The Red Light Therapy Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
Q: How would you tell someone to use this who's the, you know, 50 plus year old who wants to be able to stay super active, reverse age, et cetera?
Ekeberg recommends targeting a particular injury or weak spot locally, and says applying light centrally along the spine or gut can support systemic resilience without requiring full-body coverage.
