Well Beyond 40 JJ Virgin

There’s a silent health crisis affecting millions of people—and you may be one of them. Chances are, you don’t even know it. 
 
What’s this stealth threat? Poor metabolic health. And in this episode, I’m joined by nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert Cynthia Thurlow to get clear on what’s causing this epidemic and what we can do to turn it around. 
 
You’ll learn why women are more likely to struggle, the two most pressing changes to make, when fasting might not be right for you, and how you can be proactive about reducing your risk of long-term disease. 
 
Even if you’re metabolically well, someone in your life likely isn’t—and this episode could be the beginning of a journey to better health.

On top of that, you’ll learn how to feed your muscle growth, how to recover better, and the surprising way you’re actually building muscle.
