KristenBomb1985Add and Dangerous InformationThis podcast has transitioned into a series of advertisements and dangerous health advise. Some guests are great, some are dangerous, and some are snake oil salesman.

T8K 8 WIZEmpowering Insights for a Healthier Future: A Man's Take on 'Well Beyond 40As an integrative health practitioner, I am continually seeking resources that truly resonate with not only the science of health and wellness but also the emotional and psychological factors that influence our well-being. JJ Virgin’s "Well Beyond 40" is a brilliant synthesis of both. JJ's approach is refreshingly holistic, targeting not just physical health but also mental and emotional well-being—elements that I believe are crucial, especially for women navigating the complexities of life after 40. The insights she provides, often backed by expert guests, are invaluable in understanding how to optimize health during this pivotal time. What sets this podcast apart is JJ's ability to communicate complex health topics in an engaging and empowering manner. Her compassionate and relatable style encourages listeners to take charge of their health journey and make informed choices. Each episode is packed with practical advice, from nutrition and exercise to hormone balance and stress management, catering specifically to the unique challenges women face in midlife. Not only do I find immense value in the information shared, but I also appreciate how JJ fosters a supportive community around these discussions. This podcast is not just inspiring; it's a call to action for women (and men like myself who support them) to embrace this stage of life with vitality and confidence. If you're looking for a podcast that merges evidence-based health advice with genuine care, "Well Beyond 40" is an absolute must-listen. Thank you, JJ, for your dedication to empowering women and educating us all on the path to better health! ~Jeffrey Mort IHP2

Sleepyheads#2Life Changing!I’m a 49 year old female breast cancer survivor. Treatment for my cancer put my body into premature menopause. Fast forward seven years and I have thin hair, am balding. I’m told it’s just aging. My bloodwork indicates high glucose and potassium, I’m told to watch my diet. I restrict and restrict foods high in potassium (broccoli, nuts, etc.-I thought broccoli was healthy!), exercise everyday single day and still my numbers are high. I start to have issues with my heart. Cardiologist isn’t sure why. I won’t even mention the reproductive area (you know). I’m miserable. I know something is not right but don’t know what it is. Doctors make me feel like it’s either normal aging, my diet, or just don’t know what’s wrong. In comes JJ Virgin! BAM! IT’S NOT ME! Every single ailment I have brought to my numerous doctors in my efforts to feel better have been explained in JJ Virgin’s podcast. I can’t tell enough women about it! Be your own advocate and start listening now!!! Right now!!! Listen while you lift weights! ;-)Thank you JJ!

NJ CinUseful Podcast!The Well Beyond 40 Podcast is a must for all ages. Yes, its for women over 40 but there is a lot of great information to help you stay healthy well into the future. JJ offers advice that she herself uses and list references to it. I am so glad I found this podcast and I am seeing changes with what I have but into practice so far.

Tina DesMagnesiumI enjoyed the recent podcast about Magnesium deficiency. I get leg cramps at night and J.J. gave her tip to help relieve that symptom. (Magnesium lotion.) I am definitely going to try that as well as some of her other recommendations. Thanks.
-
pocketchloeAccessible info + implementation tipsJJ is amazing at giving info, whether in her books, podcast, or YT videos. My favorite thing is that she does so with heart while keeping everything data-driven. She doesn’t talk down to her audience, and she gives helpful tips on how to make improvements to your health - for today and long-term.

JazzsmokeyTop choice for women over 40JJ Virgin’s podcast is a must-listen for anyone serious about taking control of their health after 40. JJ’s no-nonsense approach, combined with her deep expertise, makes every episode both educational and engaging. Whether she’s interviewing top experts or sharing her own tips on nutrition, fitness, and mindset.
-
Suz4140Too many commercialsI have been listening to this podcast for a long time. I absolutely love JJ Virgin’s wisdom and presentation, but the sponsorships at the beginning are getting to the ridiculous point! While I understand you need sponsors to be able to continue a great podcast, 6+ minutes at the beginning of the podcast is past what I can handle. Is there no way to do some at the beginning and some at the end? Other than that, outstanding information is provided here, as well as the YouTube channel.

Striving to live wellWealth of informationLoving JJ’s podcasts, especially the ones discussing hormones. It is appalling that there are so few studies addressing women specific needs. I am 72 years old and one of the lost generation being excluded from getting hormone therapy. Thank you,JJ, for highlighting the need for more studies for women and hopefully motivating the experts to pursue solutions to help us. In the meantime I continue to struggle to be the best I can be now and appreciate her guidance.
-
V norrisEnlightenI enjoy listening to jj and guest speaker. It is very informative and enlightening. I wasn’t sure about hormonal therapy but after listening to one of your episode. I am now considering. Thank you

Maggie LouiseGreat PodcastJJ shares so much great information. I always feel I’m getting up to date information and not hype. I love the various guest she has. There are so many nuggets in each episode. I appreciate her openness and willingness to share her struggles and victories!
-
drbeth142Relevant!This podcast should appeal to so many women looking to up their game…health, nutrition, aging. Great information that I can and will use!
-
kimberlykilbymccardellExcellence alwaysJJ is, in my opinion, one of the very best in the business of health information. She researches and puts together the best information for us to apply to our lives. I also use it as I help others as a Personal Trainer and Health Coach. I truly look forward to her shows. Keep up the great work! And thank you.

One two thirtyThanksI have been readJJ Virgin books and now what a blessing to listen to her podcast. Wonderful information and insight.

86chelNo longer a fanAfter following and listening to JJ for years (nearly 300 podcasts downloaded and played), I’m sad at what this podcast has become. The supplement “advertising” is out of control. Almost every episode sounds the same—same exercise and nutrition advice, same supplement recommendations, and same opinions on what works for everyone. When there are guests on the show, JJ talks more than she interviews. I think she’s great, but it’s clear that she thinks she’s the greatest.
-
TetyateSupplements advertisingSadly, some of the most recent episodes focus on nothing else but supplements advertising.
-
The BoldtsssYuckI have been noticing more and more unethical, over the top promises from the ads. I don’t believe that any of those products have completely changed the game for you and I think it’s dishonest to say that it has.

LindaMizLove you …. Truly an inspiration..JJ , I’ve been following you for years… love you… I’ve been struggling with wanting to give you constructive criticism— I will to listen to your pod no matter what regardless…but might stick with the solo episodes🤷♀️ We all know your amazing stories and all you’ve accomplished in your life. It’s at the point where I know when you are about to break into a JJ story when you are interviewing an amazing guest. The interruption breaks the flow of the interview. I get a one on on convo— but this is an interview of the guest. Chiming in with everything isn’t necessary in my humble opinion. Something you might want to work on. With love, Linda

Ceci D24Great podcast!This podcast is a great podcast! I’m 53 & post menopausal so love all the information about weight loss. I consider myself healthy because I eat healthy & exercise. I’ve learned a lot listening to this podcast. I like how most of them are short and they’re some hour long ones, too. Thank you so much.

LaurinLawrencevilleMy favorite podcastAs a 53 year young woman, this podcast is my go to for how to keep healthy and feeling young. JJ has shown me that age is just a #. This podcast is full of hope I feel empowered!
-
Cee_SennGreat content, with a caveatJJ is brilliant and her guests are fantastic. Just a warning, though, that the solo episodes are better (despite the fantastic guests) because she interrupts so often. What makes for lively conversation between 2 people in person doesn’t work for the listeners or the recording. It’s incredibly distracting and often lessens the amount of knowledge we gather from the guests. But she really knows her stuff.
-
Susan2 UGood showInformative and up to date topics. Great focus on women. Excellent guests. It would be awesome if the guests were given more time to talk. The host has a tendency to monopolize the conversations. While she is an expert in her own right there is a reason she invites guests.
-
Toned up 45InterruptedThe constant interruptions drives me nuts! When she had a guest she talks way more than they do! Frustrating!
-
opinionssaravPeter matrone??!!!Our spines break down when we sleep?? Lose structure..bone…what??!! Get people on your show whose information is backed by science.
-
enerrsLet the guests talkLots of great info and love her enthusiasm and dedication. However, she constantly interrupts her guests to bring the conversation back to her. Shhhh.
-
Pop til I dropGreat guests!Really enjoy a lot of the topics and a lot of the guests. I do find it frustrating that so many times JJ turns the focus of the conversation to herself, her work, her body/health information and many times what she shares is repetitive from previous shows. It’s as if she needs to prove what an expert she is. But when there is a great guest, I’d rather hear what they have to say.
-
jillmickelson08Stop interruptingI like what she has to say but find it SO annoying how much she interrupts her guests. Please let them finish their thoughts or don’t have any guests.

Waking-up to lifeMis- information about oral healthAs a registered dental hygienist, I have to say that your last episode had a lot of mis-information regarding best practices for oral health. I just unfollowed.

pas5280Hormones forever?I have often heard you speak (rave about) the benefits of bio identical hormones. But, what if you are near 70 or older, went through menopause naturally and never took hormones? Is it healthy for a woman to begin hormone therapy at this age? Is the expectation such that a woman remain on hormones the rest of her life? I have not heard you address this. If it is a normal biological function for a woman to move through the phases of menopause- because that’s what a woman naturally does, why is there such a push for women to start taking hormones beginning with perimenopause and after? Yes, I’ve listened to you explain this (and other podcasters touting the efficacy of bio identical hormones), but it’s as if what a woman’s body does naturally has become such a maligned thing. Something to fix. But there are negatives and safety issues associated with the use of bio identical hormones just as there is with traditional hormone therapies. They are not a panacea or cure all as you seem to tout.

jrg123456783 secrets to longevity; walking isn’t exercise?!I like your podcast in general. You share some great tips. Today as I was listening (and actually thinking “i need to share this with my family”) you said ultramarathoners age more quickly than anyone. You then turned around and said “walking is not exercise”. What?! My 70 year old mom walks 3-4 miles a day and has a fabulous quality of life. My 80 year old father in law has lung fibrosis and still walks 2-3 miles a day with his 78 year old wife. I walk 4-7 miles 5 days a week briskly with friends. Not only do I get exercise (yes, walking is exercise), but I am also outside, seeing the sun as it rises, and discussing life situations that distress me or thrill me. Our mental health walking outside is improved as much as our physical health. I’m 47, I’m 5’8”, I weigh 142 and I have type 1 diabetes. I am also a registered dietitian. I am truly offended by your blanket statement.
-
RunmrUnfollowedHost interrupts guest so much you never get to hear what the guest is trying to say & then JJ takes them off topic. Too hard to listen.

GGinPacNWHelp and Thank youYou are such an inspiration at 60 years old and I love listening to your podcast. I have learned so much. I am 65 years old and a lifetime fad dieter. Fortunately, I have kept exercising all these years and kept fairly lean but not lean enough. I am overwhelmed by your books, over 1000 podcast episodes and all the other resources. Can you help me where I start? I desperately need to get off about 15 pounds and 5-7% body fat. Where do I start and what do I do to lose fat fast? I would greatly appreciate an episode with your current protocol and diet recommendations. Thank you so much.

dijdjdldjdmdljfjfAmazing Podcast!J.J. has a wealth of information to share that can truly change your life! Love her explanations and very practical way she conveys information on nutrition and exercise! Love her!

LakeJackBe Careful When Listening to Dr. Gersh’s EpisodeYou get as much radiation from flying from LA to NYC as you do for a screening mammogram. For Dr. Gersh to suggest that women should not have mammograms for fear of the effects of it’s radiation in your body is dangerous and irresponsible. From now on I’m taking any advice given on this podcast with a very small grain of salt.

#iwillfollowChrista few good tipsShe kept saying holy smokes as if she's 5 years old. It was annoying to hear as a Christian, so I'll no longer listen. But thank you for your hormone information.

Gigi ChicaMy new favorite podcast!Learned about JJ on Dhru’s podcast. And I couldn’t wait to listen to JJ’s. You are up there with the best! Thank you for all you do! P.S. I am turning 59 this week!

judydiviJj virgin gets five starts from me!As a midlife woman looking for health and fitness answers, I couldn’t have found JJ at a better time. I was worried it was getting too late for me, especially after the covid shutdown, to regain my strength and lose the weight I hoped to. Now I have tools to work with! Thank you!

ginspencerInterrupts speaker too much !Enjoying listening to speaker but he gets interrupted needlessly and went off topic.

if'erSupplementationGood info and podcast. But too much pushing of supplementation. If I listened to all the health “experts”, I’d be broke and have a hundred bottles on my counter for the claims of the “must have” supplements.
