Well Beyond 40

When you want to lose weight, you probably think of diet and exercise, right? But working out too much might be stalling fat loss! Exercise has so many benefits, but it may not help you lose as much weight as you think. Here, you’ll learn why over-exercise spikes stress hormones (leading to a cascade of problems), the FIRST thing you should do to get more exercise (hint: it’s not going to the gym!), and the best workout for your metabolic buck (and you can do this in under 10 minutes total). I’ll also reveal the most important aspect of exercise to get all of its benefits (many people aren’t doing this!), how to recover smartly, and how I exercised LESS to get much better results!

Research shows that only 12% of adults are metabolically healthy. Since that data was published, metabolic conditions including obesity and diabetes have only become worse. In this episode of Ask the Health Expert, cardiothoracic surgeon and bestselling author Dr. Philip Ovadia explains why the answers to these problems can be found in metabolic health. As a morbidly obese and pre-diabetic surgeon, Dr. Ovadia realized that he was going to end up on his own operating table. He tried everything he learned in medical school: The same advice he gave to patients to eat less, move more, and pay attention to the U S. Dietary Guidelines. Only problem was, that advice was failing him and his patients. Eventually, Dr. Ovadia found that by focusing on metabolic health, he was able to improve his own health. He lost over a hundred pounds and reversed his pre-diabetes. With that same focus and passion, he helps patients reach those same results. In this podcast, Dr. Ovadia talks about why our modern food environment has hijacked our health and made us metabolically unhealthy. He explains the difference between clean and dirty processed foods, the link between disease and poor metabolic health, and why you may be metabolically unhealthy even if you are normal weight or even underweight. Plus, Dr. Ovadia provides 5 health markers to help you shift gears and reclaim your metabolic health. In just 30 days, these strategies can create a measurable impact on your metabolic health. Whether you or someone close to you struggles with metabolic issues including obesity and diabetes, you won’t want to miss this informative episode to reclaim and maintain your metabolic health.

But what if I told you with just five exercises, you could get stronger, supercharge your fat loss, and start seeing real results?  In this episode, I’m sharing five extremely functional, easy-to-modify exercises you can do anywhere. That’s all you need to hit every major muscle group. I’m also talking you through proper form, offering modifications for injuries, and giving you variations for focusing on power and strength.  Plus, I’m telling you exactly which supplements will support your muscle growth, why the scale isn’t a good indicator of change—and how to track your progress instead.  Go ahead and listen to it now, then watch the video on my YouTube channel to see the moves in action. Feel free to watch and remind yourself of the proper form during your workout, too.  If you’ve ever used time as an excuse for skipping exercise, this episode is for you!

If you want to naturally support healthy blood sugar, normal blood lipids, and maintain cardiovascular health, your muscles hold the key.  In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified family medicine and fellowship-trained physician, joins me to explain the link between muscles and longevity and the cutting-edge science of muscle-centric medicine.  Join us as we delve into the newly-understood benefits of muscle, what enhances its quality, and how you can protect it as you age. We’re also talking about what we’ve gotten wrong about resistance training and protein—and Dr. Lyons drops a bomb about plant protein that absolutely shocked me.  I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode! It’s a game-changer for everyone who wants to live full out to 100 and stay forever strong.  FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/lyon Try my protein calculator: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com Learn more about Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: https://drgabriellelyon.com Order Forever Strong: https://drgabriellelyon.com/forever-strong Listen to The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show: https://drgabriellelyon.com/podcast/ Reignite WellnessTM Amino Power Powder: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/supplements/products/amino-power-powder DEXA scan: https://dexascan.com/ Bioimpedance scale: https://oxiline.shop/?ref=mza2ntv Check on your metabolic health with YourLabwork: https://yourlabwork.com/jj-virgin/ Reignite WellnessTM All-In-One Shakes: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/shakes Reignite WellnessTM Clean Creatine Powder: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/clean-creatine-powder Sign Up for Gabrielle’s Weekly Newsletter and Receive Her Food Guide, the Lyon Protocol 2.0: https://drgabriellelyon.com/
