    If you’ve noticed your body getting softer, weaker, or less defined, this episode is for you. Today Jorge breaks down how to restore lean muscle mass, reverse sarcopenia, and rebuild your metabolism — no gym required. Age-related muscle loss is not caused by age… it’s caused by inactivity, and it can begin as early as your 20s or 30s. The good news: you can reverse it quickly with the right plan. In this episode, Jorge explains: • Why muscle loss accelerates in midlife • The two essentials for restoring lean muscle • How much protein you really need • Why strength training is the “organ of longevity” • The 8-minute method that helped millions • How muscle boosts metabolism, posture, and waistline He also shares the iconic 8 Minutes in the Morning workout first featured by Oprah — including the same exercises published in O, The Oprah Magazine.

    Why You Eat When You’re Not Hungry

    f you’ve ever reached for food even when your stomach isn’t hungry, this episode is for you. Physical hunger can be solved with tools like intermittent fasting, GLP-1 medications, or Zero Hunger Water—but emotional hunger is a different beast. It’s the stress, pain, trauma, and unresolved story that drives cravings long after your body is full. In this episode, Jorge reveals how emotional hunger forms, why it’s stronger than physical hunger, and how dopamine plays a powerful role in cravings. He shares his own journey through loss, estrangement, midlife collapse, alcohol coping, recovery, and learning to rewrite the story—moving from victimhood to empowerment. You’ll discover: • Why emotional hunger makes you eat even when you’re not physically hungry • How childhood and midlife trauma silently fuel cravings • Why sugar, carbs, and alcohol feel like “relief” but backfire • The clean dopamine-boosting habits that actually work • How to replace emotional eating with “dopamine wins” that lift you up • A mindset shift inspired by Tony Robbins that changes everything The episode ends with the original AI-created song “Needed This” by Victor Sol, a metaphorical reminder that the hardest moments can become our biggest gifts.

    Turn Off Hunger

    In Part 1 of this 3-part series, New York Times bestselling fitness author and celebrity trainer Jorge Cruise reveals why “physical hunger” is often not real hunger at all. Most people blame willpower. Or they assume the only answer is a GLP-1 drug. But the truth is simpler — and more fixable: mineral deficiency. When your body runs low on key minerals, hunger signals get dysregulated. That can trigger constant cravings, “snack attacks,” and overeating — even when you’ve had enough food. In this episode, Jorge explains the 3 minerals tied to hunger regulation: • Sodium (salt) • Magnesium • Potassium This is all leading to a FREE 90-minute live Zoom event where Jorge will teach his approach, including “Zero Hunger Water,” and how to shut down physical hunger naturally. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83964851796?pwd=h6aVopb3X3cdy3b0j60nmwbADGarC7.1 COMING NEXT • Part 2 (Saturday): Emotional Hunger • Part 3 (Sunday): Restore Lean Muscle FREE LIVE EVENT (SIGN UP) Monday, December 8th — 5:00 PM Pacific (Live on Zoom) To get the invite and all details, join the email list here: https://www.jorgecruise.com/p/welcome-to-the-revolution WEBSITE JorgeCruise.com FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/jorgecruisecoaching Handle: @jorgecruisecoaching SHARE THIS EPISODE If someone you love struggles with cravings, overeating, belly fat, or “always being hungry,” send them this. Physical hunger isn’t what most people think — and the fix is not what they’ve been told. (Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes and is not medical advice.)

    SALT: The Missing Weight Loss Key | Dr. James DiNicolantonio Reveals the Truth

    In my journey as a podcast host and wellness author, few experts have shaped my understanding as profoundly as Dr. James DiNicolantonio. His groundbreaking work on minerals, particularly sodium, magnesium, and potassium, has become foundational as I craft my 40th book, “Belly Goes First”, a powerful new approach to erasing hunger, reversing belly fat, and promoting lifelong wellness. Alongside previous conversations with Dr. Jason Fung and Robb Wolf, these four interviews with Dr. James represent some of the most significant recordings I’ve made since launching this podcast. Today, I’m thrilled to share this special “super series,” bringing together all four enlightening discussions dating back to our very first meeting in 2018, where Dr. James initially opened my eyes to the transformative power of minerals. These insights have also become the scientific cornerstone for my passion project and life’s opus, Zero Hunger Water. Please note that the first interview includes video, while the remaining three are audio-only but just as impactful—turn on captions for additional clarity. This special episode gives you the science, practical tools, and inspiration to not only conquer hunger forever but also radically improve athletic performance, longevity, and overall health.Episode Chapters & Highlights00:00 Welcome & Introduction02:13 Interview 1: Dr. James on Unleashing the Power of Salt to Maximize Performance • 05:45 How Coffee Depletes Sodium (Caffeine & Salt Loss) • 08:47 Salt Preloading for Better Athletic Performance • 09:26 Salt vs. Sugar Addiction & Cravings Control • 28:30 Importance of Magnesium, Potassium, and Glycine in Hydration • 29:26 Optimal Protein Intake for Muscle Growth and Recovery • 36:00 Boosting Blood Volume: The Secret to Energy & Endurance44:44 Interview 2: Dr. James on the Powerful Health Secrets of Minerals • 46:24 Breaking Free from Sugar & Carb Cravings with Sodium • 53:27 Solving “Salt Sensitivity” by Reducing Refined Carbs • 55:01 Salt and Blood Pressure: The Carb Connection • 1:02:11 Understanding Electrolytes: Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium • 1:03:28 Dr. James’s Recommended Mineral-Rich Water • 1:10:00 The Critical Role of Magnesium in Cellular Energy (ATP)01:33:53 Interview 3: Dr. James on a Deep Dive Into Weight Loss with Salt • 1:34:33 How Salt Regulates Hunger & Fat Storage Hormones • 1:35:37 Reducing Sugar Addiction Through Proper Salt Intake • 1:36:27 “Zero Hunger Water” – A Powerful Appetite Suppressant • 1:37:10 Historical Significance of Salt in Human Diet • 2:01:00 Fasting & Salt: Clearing up Common Myths • 2:02:30 How Salt Supports Autophagy and Immunity During Fasting02:21:51 Interview 4: Dr. James on Why Sodium Will Give You Radical Control of Your Health • 2:24:50 The Origin Story Behind “The Salt Fix” • 2:26:36 How Experts Misunderstood and Demonized Salt • 2:50:26 The Stress Response Triggered by Low Salt Diets • 2:51:56 Finding the Optimal Salt Intake (3–5 grams daily) • 2:57:28 The Surprising Link Between Salt Intake and Longevity • 3:00:00 Practical Recommendations for Ideal Sodium Consumption
