    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alzheimer's Starts Decades Before You Forget Anything
Q: What practical steps can listeners take in their 30s and 40s to protect brain health later in life?
Prioritize maintaining muscle mass through regular activity, optimize diet to limit ultra-processed foods, monitor metabolic markers like fasting glucose and insulin, support a healthy microbiome, and consider strategies that influence biological aging, such as time-restricted eating and nutrient-dense foods to reduce chronic inflammation.
Alzheimer's Starts Decades Before You Forget Anything
Q: Why do you believe the risk signals for Alzheimer's begin decades before memory symptoms appear?
Because early metabolic and inflammatory processes set the stage for how brain cells function later; signals from our 30s and 40s shape the groundwork of brain resilience or vulnerability, influencing microglial activity and synaptic maintenance long before noticeable memory loss occurs.
Stay Energized on Every Trip After 40 (Cell Care Plan) with Dr. Monisha Bhanote
Q: Why does travel feel harder after 40?
The guest explains that mitochondrial stress from flight, altitude, dry cabin air, and disrupted circadian rhythms lowers energy, impairs digestion and immunity, and reduces brain function, necessitating deliberate strategies to protect energy and recovery.
Longevity Scientist Reveals What's Killing Your Skin with Carolina Reis Oliveira
Q: What makes the OS01 peptide different from traditional retinoids?
OS01 targets senescent cells to reduce inflammation and promote healthier remodeling without the redness and irritation that often accompany retinoids, addressing the root cause rather than just the surface signs of aging.
Longevity Scientist Reveals What's Killing Your Skin with Carolina Reis Oliveira
Q: How did you pivot from being a cell biologist to founding a skincare company?
The pivot happened when we realized our lab-grown skin models could test anti-aging products and reveal that many were just moisturizing, not actually rejuvenating the skin. This led us to develop OS1 and the idea of targeting senescent cells to rebuild the skin from the inside out.
