    Show notes

    Listen as Dr. Jolene Brighten uncovers the reality behind birth control pills and how they have been affecting women’s bodies since the 1960s. From leaky gut to autoimmune disease and more, there are many ways that birth control pills wreak havoc on your body. Learn about Post-Birth Control Syndrome and all you need to know to recover from this common issue, plus get Dr. Brighten’s detoxifying diet for free!

    Key takeaway:

    [1:40] Briefing of Dr. Jolene Brighten’s career

    [4:15] How big of a problem is the birth control pill?

    [5.23] Acne and PCOS are reasons why women take birth control pills, but the pill is masking underlying symptoms – as soon as it’s stopped, those symptoms come back with a vengeance

    [8:03] Perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms are due to the decline of hormones, especially progesterone.

    [9:30] How do birth control pills affect perimenopausal and postmenopausal women?

    [11.55] Since the 1960s, when the pill was first given out, women have been complaining of symptoms of depression but have been dismissed by conventional medicine.

    [13:05] Being off the pill is not enough to recover from its damage.

    [14:01] Genetic changes have occurred due to the pill.

    [14:45] What is Post-Birth Control Syndrome?

    [16:05] What can you do about Post-Birth Control Syndrome?

    [17:25] Diet and lifestyle changes are needed, not only supplements.

    [18:24] Birth control pills are one of the main causes of leaky gut, which leads to increased risk of food sensitivities, brain fog, inflammation, and autoimmune disease.

    [20:05] Get Dr. Brighten’s Post-Birth Control Syndrome Diet for free at jjvirgin.com/pbcs to start detoxifying from birth control pills.

    [21:25] Dr. Brighten meditates every day for optimal performance.

    [23:20] Take JJ’s Leaky Gut Support Formula to repair leaky gut and alleviate digestive unrest.

    [23:57] Listener’s question: Why do I get depressed for seemingly no reason? Hormone imbalances might be the answer

    [25:20] Add in EstroCare to help support hormone balance, include healthy fats in your diet, especially omega-3 fats and supplement with a quality fish oil supplement like Omega Ultra, and keep your blood sugar balanced by eating a low-sugar impact diet.

    [26:30] Manage stress with tapping and high-intensity interval training.

    The Truth About Fat: Coconut Oil and Beyond Aug 09, 2017
    Show notes

    Is coconut oil your friend or is it a foe? What about corn and canola oil? In this episode, JJ Virgin takes an in-depth look at dietary fats, debunking the claims made by the American Heart Association about coconut oil and telling you which oils you should choose to fight disease, lose weight, and have great energy. Achieve better health both inside and out by making a shift in the oils you’re using today!

    Key takeaways:

    [1:28] Make an oil change to reduce inflammation.

    [2:35] American Heart Association claims that saturated fats like coconut oil cause cardiovascular disease.

    [3:15] The fats in coconut oil can actually help prevent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke, increase your metabolism and make you feel less hungry.

    [4:34] Coconut oil can help reduce overall cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

    [4:54] American Heart Association claims that coconut oil has no known health benefits.

    [5:21] Coconut oil is a proven antibacterial and antifungal that can also help fight disease and aging. It helps speed up wound healing and makes your hair thicker and fuller.

    [6:18] Vegetable oils should not be a part of your diet – they are high in omega-6 fatty acids, pro-inflammatory, and easily oxidize.

    [6:40] Oxidized fats have been linked to numerous health issues.

    [8:03] Always choose organic, unrefined, cold-pressed or expeller-pressed oils in dark bottles.

    [8:38] Extra-virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil is one of the best choices

    [9:34] Extra-virgin, cold-pressed organic olive oil benefits and uses

    [10:22] Avocado oil benefits and uses

    [12:45] Grass-fed ghee benefits and ways to cook with it

    [13:10] Virgin, unrefined red palm oil is the most popular oil in the world with many benefits, but you need to be sure it comes from a sustainable source.

    [14:10] JJ likes macadamia nut oil and walnut oil in salad dressings.

    [15:16] Sesame oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids, but it has a great flavor in Asian recipes.

    [15:43] Canola oil should be avoided – it’s a highly refined and processed oil that can easily become rancid.

    [18:50] Lose more weight and keep it off by starting your day with a healthy shake.

    [19:02] Listener’s question: How do you improve hair health?

    [20:41] Hypothyroidism, estrogen imbalance, and low iron levels can all affect your hair.

    The Power of Being Unfocused with Dr. Srini Pillay Aug 02, 2017
    Show notes

    Dr. Srini Pillay, author of Tinker Dabble Doodle Try: Unlock the Power of the Unfocused Mind, is a Harvard trained expert on brain function. In this interview, JJ & Dr. Pillay explore how we can practice being “unfocused” in order to focus more efficiently and achieve our goals! Contrary to many of our beliefs, seemingly lazy activities such as napping, doodling, and walking in no specific direction can actually help our brain be more creatively motivated when it’s time to turn the focus back on. You’ll get “unfocus” lessons from Picasso and Einstein, and also learn how to use “Psychological Halloweenism” to ramp up your motivation.

    Key takeaways

    [1:44] Srini Pillay career briefing and how he met JJ.

    [4:07] The truth that too much focus can be problematic – it can actually drain the brain of energy!

    [5:16] The solution is to build cognitive rhythm between focused and unfocused states.

    [6:01] How can you be productively unfocused? Using PCD: Positive Constructive Daydreaming (Jerome Singer).

    [7:20] How to Daydream: Plan for it; have a playful image; and do it during a low-key activity like gardening.

    [8:55] Being “unfocused” in the right way helps you be more creative and re-energizes your brain. When you re-focus it helps you in many ways, including predicting the future...

    [9:55] “Unfocusing” your brain can help integrate information better, and even give you a better sense of self.

    [11:02] Try these to get started: An app that schedules unfocused time; napping & daydreaming; walking in unstructured paths; and even doodling can improve your memory by 29%!

    [14:30] Dabbling: What you can learn from Picasso and Einstein.

    [16:10] People who have complimentary hobbies do better at their primary tasks.

    [17:23] How to improve your health right away. 1 – Possibility Thinking: simply asserting that it is possible to achieve your goals has some very positive effects. It increases your dopamine, activates reward pathways in your brain, and increases your natural opioids so you are less stressed.

    [18:10] 2 – The Biology of Imagination: imagine how you will look in the future, using images that demonstrate the “before and after” progression.

    [19:31] 3 – Creative Motivation: building in periods of unfocus – napping, etc., helps you to come back and focus more successfully. Also try “Psychological Halloweenism” – embodying the full personality of an eccentric role model – to activate their ideas and habits.

    [21:45] When you get Srini’s book you get the app for free!

    [23:40] Practice: Ask yourself what do you want that you think is possible; imagine that. Than refine that image of what you want, and your brain will take you there.

    [25:30] Improve the quality of your sleep with JJ’s Sleep Candy.

    [26:08] Listeners’ questions: How can I get motivated to get healthier?

    [27:01] Find the Power of Purpose: What is your big ‘Why?’

    Your Quickstart Guide to Fasting with JJ Virgin Jul 26, 2017
    Show notes

    In this week’s podcast, JJ explores the popular trend of fasting. She covers everything from the types and benefits of fasting, as well as differences between men and women, between sugar burning and fat burning, and the preparation pitfalls that could lead you to disaster. If you are struggling to reach your weight loss goals or have plateaued, some form of fasting might be just the breakthrough you’ve been looking for. JJ will help you “dial in the basics” so you can get started right away with a successful and healthy fasting program.

    Key takeaways

    [1:54] Males and females are significantly different when talking about health.

    [2:47] Eating “by the plate” and “by the clock.”

    [3:05] What does it mean to be a fat burner? You should be able to go 4-6 hours in between meals and not need to snack, not freak out, and lose body fat from your waist!

    [4:38] 3 keys: stop snacking; stop eating at least 3 hours before bed; DO eat within an hour or two of waking up.

    [5:01] Get a 12-14 hour overnight fast. Insulin comes down, plus you are healing and resting and giving your growth hormones a chance to come up more.

    [5:50] Breakfast isn’t the same for everyone. Most women tend to need to be more regimented than men, but there is research that shows a range of healthy morning routines.

    [7:05] What is fasting?

    [7:23] Fasting with bone broth (mini-fasting).

    [7:44] Intermittent fasting – short periods of fasting in a single day.

    [8:16] The benefits of fasting: neuro-protection, anti-aging, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial efficiency, and immune health are all benefits associated with fasting.

    [10:52] Before a serious attempt at fasting, go through the Sugar Impact Diet Program and make sure you know how carbs impact your body. That information will help you make the shift from being a sugar burner to a fat burner.

    [12:16] Make sure your adrenals are awesome before fasting.

    [13:12] Tapping can lower your stress, stress hormones, and even cortisol levels.

    [13:44] Dial in the basics! Watch your sleep, manage your stress, and get your exercise with burst training (HIIT) or resistance training.

    [15:40] First fast to try: the 12 to 14 hour overnight fast. From there, make adjustments that work for you.

    [17:21] Journaling is a critical strategy to achieve the results you want. Keeping track of what you’ve tried – and whether or not you’ve been covering the basics – is the key to making adjustments that work.

    [19:18] Are you digesting protein well? Watch which enzyme product you are taking!

    [20:14] Listeners question: What to do with sugar cravings?

    [22:12] Chronic sugar addicts with cravings can get rid of their sweet tooth in 2 weeks or less going through JJ’s program.

    [23:12] Going “cold turkey” sets you up for failure.

    How Your Gut Microbiome Can Help You Feel, Look & Think Better with Dr. Edison de Mello. Jul 19, 2017
    Show notes

    Dr. Edison De Mello is the founder of the Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine, and is a pioneer in the study of the microbiome and its relationship with physical and emotional well-being. This podcast will show you how to read the signs that your gut is giving you, then take proactive steps to balance your microbiome by leading a proper lifestyle; the keys are found in your diet, how you are handling stress, and your physical activity. Your entire body and mind will feel the difference of a healthy gut, so get started improving your gut microbiome right now!

    Key takeaways:

    [:48] Dr. Edison De Mello’s career briefing, publications and East-West approach to medicine.

    [3:01] How Dr. De Mello became interested in gut function research.

    [4:14] Finding the connection between the brain, the gut, the skin & more.

    [4:55] His motto: “Meet the patients before meeting their diseases.”

    [5:38] How does the gut bacteria influence the rest of the body and especially weight gain?

    [5:50] Your microbiome is to your gut like a beehive is to honey! Both must be cared for.

    [6:28] Good bacteria in your gut assist you with digestion and elimination, and signaling your body when eat, sleep, etc.

    [7:11] Disease is what lies underneath the symptoms that the patient brings. What is going on when someone wants to eat more than they actually need? Stress can throw off the balance of good bacteria in your gut, triggering behaviors such as overeating.

    [9:01] The goal while looking at the microbiome is first to understand it, and secondly, to balance it out through a proper lifestyle.

    [9:56] Sugar IS the worst thing you can feed your gut bacteria.

    [11:21] Sugar is sugar is sugar: honey, stevia, agave... it’s still sugar!

    [11:48] Managing stress helps your microbiome. Take proactive steps to handle it.

    [13:20] Physical activity is more than looking good, it has the incredible physiological function of increasing oxygen & blood flow — this helps the brain first, and then your gut and skin.

    [15:30] Your hormone balance depends on your gut function. If your gut health is optimal, it will significantly help your hormone function, too.

    [18:13] The gut has a great role in our physiological and emotional well-being.

    [19:22] Practicing gratitude is something that makes a great difference in your life. Start your day by writing down 3 things that you are grateful for first thing in the morning. (Then drink two glasses of water with a splash of lemon!)

    [21:55] You can lose weight even faster with fiber; Try JJ’s Extra Fiber supplement.

    [22:28] Listeners’ questions: What to do when struggling with constipation? First have your thyroid assessed. Second add fiber to your diet and drink more water. Third taking magnesium combined with vitamin C and probiotics is a great help. Lastly: Move more, work out intensively three times a week.

    Show notes

    In this show JJ Virgin explores the debilitating effects of stress and how you can stop it from damaging your health. This podcast covers a wide array of stress related topics like blood sugar, serotonin, adrenal and thyroid hormones, cortisol, leaky gut and much more! She’ll also give you some simple, practical tools you can use to get fast results for lowering your stress and improve both mental and physical health. Sometimes we can’t change how difficult life can get, but we can use these techniques to change our perspective and give our immune systems a helping hand. You really can start handling your stress better today.

    Key takeaways:

    [1:20] You already know why stress is so bad: it can make you fat, old, and lose your sex drive.

    [2:32] You could be doing everything else right, but if you are not handling stress right, it will take you down.

    [2:55] Why do we crave sweets when we are stressed? Low serotonin levels are the culprit. Feeling anxious and irritable are surefire signs.

    [3:34] With stress, your blood sugar level can elevate even if your diet is good.

    [4:25] What happens when serotonin is not working well? You won’t get a proper sleep and the cycle just keeps repeating itself. Try JJ’s Sleep Candy if you’re having difficulty getting to sleep at night.

    [5:41] The relationship between food intolerance and leaky gut, adrenal gland issues and cortisol.

    [7:25] Sea salt is nourishing to your adrenals.

    [9:06] Your immune system is affected by your stress level.

    [9:50] Get great tips to manage your stress by reading “Miracle Mindset.”

    [10:12] Stress influences thyroid function, adrenal function AND your sex hormones.

    [12:02] What to do about it! A lot about stress is your perception of stress.

    [14:00] Gratitude: Start your day by keeping a Gratitude Journal - each morning write down 3 things you are grateful for. You’ll be amazed at the difference it will make throughout the day.

    [14:25] When there is something stressful happening, practice appreciation - message someone you appreciate in your life and let them know what they mean to you! It will shift your outlook immediately.

    [15:10] At night, reflect on what went well. Make sure you take time to appreciate the wins in your life, large or small!

    [16:50] Burst training is phenomenal to teach your sympathetic system how to handle stress better.

    [17:35] Tapping is a great tool to deal with stress.

    [18:43] Pick one of JJ’s diets, either The Sugar Impact Diet or The Virgin Diet - get started with either of them to achieve blood sugar balance.

    [20:27] Nutrients that can help with stress: Vitamin C is the most important; B vitamins (B6, B5 & B2); extra DHA from fish oil; licorice; and tyrosine. Stress Reset is optimized with these to give you an easy, convenient way to get them.

    [24:09] Breakfast sets the pace for the entire day; grabbing a protein shake for breakfast while practicing your Gratitude Journal is a great start!

    [25:09] Listeners’ question: Where to start with your health? Find your purpose! And start with the food you are consuming.
