Well Beyond 40

Join JJ as she chats with one of her very best buddies, founder of Bulletproof Coffee and fasting expert Dave Asprey. Dave will take you on his trial-and-error journey of weight loss. Once hitting 300 pounds, having arthritis, high risk of heart attack and stroke, cognitive dysfunction, prediabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrome - all by the age of 30 - Dave was desperate for change. Trying everything from daily gym workouts to the most stripped down diets he could imagine, nothing was working for him. Dave found that by simply doing one thing less, he was able to drop the pounds easily; eating less. Fasting helped Dave start dropping fat while maintaining energy levels, getting good sleep, feeling more excited about life, and actually lowering his biological age. Dave and JJ discuss the important signs for both women and men that your fasting cycle might need a change. It’s not a one-size-fits-all system, but once you can get your personal schedule figured out, you will start to reap the benefits of a fasting diet. Plus, you’ll learn the ways to listen to your body! Some days you just need to rest, other days you need to shake up your schedule a bit. All without self-judgement. Your body knows what it needs, and it’s trying to tell you, you just need to train yourself to hear it! Join Dave and 60,000 other people who have completed his FREE Fast This Way Challenge https://training.humanpotentialinstitute.com/courses/dave-asprey-14-day-fasting-challenge?_gl=1*1ocwmjc*_ga*OTQ5NDU1OTYyLjE2MzgyOTg5OTA.*_ga_QZL6LLLGQN*MTYzODI5ODk5MC4xLjEuMTYzODI5OTA1MC4w Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1996, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor had a stroke when a blood vessel erupted on the left side of her brain. The stroke left her unable to speak, read, walk, write, or remember anything from her past. Her 8-year recovery period impacts her work today. In this podcast, JJ Virgin talks with Dr. Taylor about brain health, present-moment awareness, and how to better manage stress and anxiety. Dr. Taylor begins by debunking some popular brain myths. (You know the one where we only use 10% of our brains? That’s not true.) We also talk about present-moment awareness and how being in this moment can help lower stress levels. Through what she calls whole-brain living (also the title of her new book), Dr. Taylor says that we have the power to choose who we want to be in this moment and that we can train ourselves to be present. Dr. Taylor goes on to share her definition of personal freedom, and why she believes a stroke was the greatest gift of her life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a past pattern that holds you back or struggled with anxiety about the future, you don’t want to miss this informative podcast.
