Today’s episode transforms how we think about body composition, aging, and measuring health. I'm joined by JJ Virgin, a triple-board certified nutrition expert and Fitness Hall of Famer with four New York Times bestsellers, who aims to move us beyond the outdated focus on weight loss to a holistic approach to longevity. JJ debunks scale myths and explains why monitoring muscle mass is the real key to longevity. She shares the best ways to build and maintain muscle as we age, offering practical tips for incorporating protein into our diets. JJ also reveals how she and her husband got into the best shape of their lives by 60, proving it's never too late to make powerful health changes. Don’t miss JJ’s great advice for women on how to train for menopause, and how we can all age powerfully.
