Aging doesn’t have to mean decline. It can mean energy, strength, and confidence, if you master the basics first.
Four-time New York Times bestselling author JJ Virgin joins me to share her mission to help women reclaim power, vitality, and longevity, without falling for the quick fixes. We unpack why most people chase biohacks before earning the right way to use them, what really drives performance and health after 40, and how mindset shapes the way your body ages.
JJ also shares her personal story: being adopted, learning independence, turning pain into purpose, and how focusing on muscle, protein, and daily fundamentals can transform both body and mind.
Her philosophy is simple but profound: master your sleep, movement, nutrition, and relationships before you chase the fancy stuff. Then, you can truly own the next chapter of your life.
"Don't wish it were easier. Because if it's easier, then everyone's doing it." - JJ Virgin
