Summary

This episode is brought to you by BON CHARGE, Plunge, and Lifeforce. When tackling weight loss, most people turn to the tried-and-true methods of cutting calories and increasing exercise. But what if these tactics don't deliver results? How do we safeguard against losing muscle instead of fat? It's time for a paradigm shift: prioritize body recomposition over simply shedding pounds. After all, it's not just about weight loss—it's about crafting a healthier, more resilient body as we age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with JJ Virgin to discuss her top weight loss, muscle building, and vibrant aging strategies. She emphasizes the importance of resistance training for sustained weight loss and tracking individual goals for long-term motivation. Additionally, she shares the secrets she’s learned in her 20-plus years as a celebrity nutritionist, including the most common mistakes women make when trying to lose belly fat, the importance of adding in versus removing, and how to age powerfully.

With over three decades of experience in the field, she has become a trusted authority in nutrition, weight loss, and wellness.
