  • 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.

As an entrepreneur, I appreciate the way JJ challenges conventional thinking and empowers women to take ownership of their health just as they would their business or financial future.

  • The advice woman over 40 need

    I really appreciate the straightforwardness approach of JJ. She genuinely seems like she wants her audience to succeed and is willing to say the thing they need to hear (not necessarily what they want to hear). Thanks for doing what you do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Build A Brain That Ages Powerfully – Change Your Daily Habits
Q: Complete sentence. The biggest myth about Alzheimer's is?
That we have treatments to cure it. We do not.
STOP Doing These 7 Things After 40
Q: Is intermittent fasting advisable for women over 40?
Intermittent fasting should be considered in the context of the individual, with a common approach being a 9 to 12 hour eating window, prioritizing sleep quality and overall calorie balance rather than a rigid fasting rule.
STOP Doing These 7 Things After 40
Q: What is the recommended protein intake per meal for women over 40?
Aim for about 30 grams from animal sources or around 40 grams from plant-based options per meal, ensuring enough leucine (2.5 to 3 grams) to support muscle protein synthesis.
Your Immune System Isn't Attacking You (Here's Why)
Q: One lab test everyone with autoimmunity should consider?
A comprehensive metabolic profile and a complete blood count with differentials and platelets, as they provide a broad view of how the body's systems are functioning and help identify foundational issues that contribute to autoimmunity.
Your Immune System Isn't Attacking You (Here's Why)
Q: Biggest myth about autoimmune disease?
The biggest myth is that the body is simply attacking itself or acting inappropriately; in reality, the immune system often responds to environmental interference and inflammation, and understanding this process helps target real root causes rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
