Show Notes

If you’ve hit your 40s or 50s and noticed that the workouts you used to do aren’t working anymore, you’re not imagining it.

In this episode, I’m joined by triple-board certified nutrition expert, fitness hall of famer, author of 4 New York Times bestselling books, JJ Virgin.  We’re talking about what really happens to your body in your 40s and beyond—especially when it comes to exercise, hormones, and energy. 

We cover everything from strength training and metabolism to recovery, motivation, and what JJ calls your “metabolic Spanx.” It’s science-backed, practical, and surprisingly encouraging.

Whether you’ve been feeling frustrated with your workouts, unsure how to shift your routine, or just want to feel stronger and more grounded in your body—this conversation is for you.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works now.
