    Show notes

    Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is the star of the hit BBC One series, Doctor in the House, and he joins JJ in today's podcast episode to explain why making disease disappear is simpler than you think!

Listen as Dr. Chatterjee explains how his accessible 4 Pillar Plan can help you live a longer and healthier life, plus the simple shifts you can make in your daily routine, such as adding in “me time” and 5-minute kitchen workouts, that can make a big difference in how you look and feel.

    Show notes

    A Ph.D candidate in the field of psychology and the adoptive father of three wonderful children, Ben Hardy learned from traumatic experiences early on in his life that the key to creating permanent change lies in your environment. He joins JJ today to explain why relying on willpower isn't the answer to reaching your goals and how to alter your surroundings to set yourself up for success.

    Freebies From Today’s Episode

    Get Ben Hardy’s free journaling course by going to JJVirgin.com/willpower

    Main Points From Today’s Episode

    1. Willpower is individualistic and a finite resource. If you rely on willpower to overcome an addiction, it's actually going to make the addiction worse.
    2. If you don’t create your environment, your environment creates and controls you. The most powerful choice you can make is to control your surroundings.
    3. Choose design over willpower! You need to remove the things in your environment that conflict with your commitment, and set yourself up for success.

    Episode Play-By-Play

    [4:35] Ben's traumatic experiences and the humanitarian mission that changed his life

    [8:30] Willpower is individualistic and a finite resource.

    [9:01] The opposite of addiction is connection.

    [9:51] Your environment shapes you: the most powerful choice you can make is to create and control your surroundings.

    [11:05] How do you shift your environment?

    [12:48] The first step is being mindful and realizing that you can create the context you’re in.

    [15:27] It’s important to become clear on the “why” of your decision.

    [15:40] When you start investing in your goals, you become more committed.

    [17:55] You have to remove everything in your environment that conflicts with your commitment.

    [19:02] Research shows that obesity and weight loss are contagious.

    Show notes

    If you're always hungry, struggle with weight around your middle, and have trouble burning fat, you may be insulin resistant. Listen as Dr. Fiona McCulloch explains the signs of insulin resistance and how chronically elevated insulin levels can wreak havoc on your weight and your health. Plus, find out why the glycemic index doesn’t tell the whole story, and learn the metric that you should opt for instead.

    Main Points From Today’s Episode

    1. Researchers noticed that certain foods classified as low on the glycemic index were causing an unexpected surge in insulin levels. A new metric called the Food Insulin Demand gives you more information on how foods impact your insulin levels.
    2. When your body is flooded with insulin at the wrong times, your cells begin to remove insulin receptors so they don't let too much sugar in, causing you to secrete even more insulin. Chronically elevated insulin levels lock your fat-burning doors and trigger fat storage.
    3. Dr. McCulloch recommends adding protein, healthy fats, and lots of fiber to your menu to balance blood sugar and insulin levels. The Insulin Demand Chart gives you more information to help you choose the best foods.

    [20:29] Tips to become more insulin sensitive

    [23:37] How to use the Insulin Demand Chart

    [24:13] Bananas, mangos, and other tropical fruits are all high on the Insulin Demand Chart.

    [25:38] Starting your morning with the right breakfast sets your metabolic tone for the day! The perfect and easiest way to do this is with JJ Virgin’s All-In-One Paleo-Inspired Protein Shake.

    [26:33] Listener’s question: Why do you say, “No Whey” when it comes to protein powder?
