Episode Revisited: Top Weight Loss Do’s and Don’ts, Building Muscle, & Aging Powerfully | JJ Virgin

2025-09-16

Join me as I sit down with renowned health and fitness expert, bestselling author, and prominent media personality, JJ Virgin, to discuss her most impactful tips for losing weight, building muscle, and aging powerfully. In this episode, JJ shares the most common mistakes women in their 40s make when looking to lose weight and why they need to start thinking about weight loss differently. JJ delves into the secrets she’s learned in her 20-plus years as a celebrity nutritionist—namely, that nutrition, resistance training, sleep, and managing stress are keys for not only weight loss, but strong strong and healthy aging. With over three decades of experience in the field, JJ has become a trusted authority in nutrition, weight loss, and wellness. She is the author of four New York Times bestsellers: The Virgin Diet, The Virgin Diet Cookbook, JJ Virgin's Sugar Impact Diet, and JJ Virgin's Sugar Impact Diet Cookbook.
