Do you ever feel stuck and wonder why you can’t get unblocked? Do you feel anxious or unwell, but you don’t know why? Or maybe you keep yourself so busy you haven’t had time to feel much at all?  You’re not alone.  As adults, we’re often unaware of the ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves from our past, and how those coping mechanisms can affect our mental and physical health.  In this episode, I have a profound conversation with spiritual teacher, author, and motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein about what happens when we get brave enough to wonder what lives beneath our suffering.  We’re exploring the impact of past trauma, methods for calming your nervous system, and what you can do to change the behaviors that are preventing your progression. Plus, Gabby shares her personal story of recovery so you can learn from her lessons and transform your health and your life.  Full show notes:  jjvirgin.com/gabby Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com Get my Mindset Mastery Guide:  https://discover.jjvirgin.com/master-your-mindset-int-1 Learn more about Gabby Bernstein: https://gabbybernstein.com/ Read The Universe Has Your Back: https://amzn.to/3QcQ8mJ Read Super Attractor: https://amzn.to/46nRMHW Read Happy Days: The Guided Path from Trauma to Profound Freedom and Inner Peace: https://amzn.to/46qZukI Listen to Dear Gabby podcast: https://gabbybernstein.com/podcast/ Get the Gabby Coaching App: https://gabbybernstein.com/gabby-coaching-app Learn about Internal Family Systems: https://ifs-institute.com/ Read Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection by Dr. John Sarno: https://amzn.to/3ZPE1PW Get a 7-day free trial to Gabby’s new coaching app: https://gabbybernstein.com/gabby-coaching-app/?nab=1   Learn more about your ad choices.

Do women really need to approach fasting and their health differently than men? The answer is a resounding yes. And as you get older, those needs become even more specific down to the stage of menopause that you’re in—so much so that women in perimenopause need a different approach than postmenopausal women to feel energetic and strong.  In this episode, I’m joined by women's hormone & fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to talk about how women over 40 can create a lifestyle that keeps their hormones thriving. We’re covering what women before and after menopause need to know about their hormones, when and how to fast, and how to work with your body to feel your best.  Plus, I’m asking Dr. Pelz my burning question: Are fasting and building muscle at odds?  You’ll definitely want to hear her response.
