JJ Virgin is a powerhouse. What I love most about Well Beyond 40 is that JJ doesn't just talk about longevity…she teaches women how to create a stronger, healthier, more vibrant future. Her interviews are smart, insightful, and packed with immediately actionable advice. As an entrepreneur, I appreciate the way JJ challenges conventional thinking and empowers women to take ownership of their health just as they would their business or financial future. Well Beyond 40 has become a trusted resource for women who want to thrive, perform at their highest level, and truly age powerfully. — Allison Maslan, Entrepreneur, Business Mentor, and Founder of Pinnacle Global Network
I just came across your podcast and wow so much great info the segment on walking was amazing. I’m active but don’t walk every day definitely going to add that into my routine 😊
I really appreciate the straightforwardness approach of JJ. She genuinely seems like she wants her audience to succeed and is willing to say the thing they need to hear (not necessarily what they want to hear). Thanks for doing what you do!
JJ provides thoughtful, science-backed information on how to navigate all of the information out there on how to age well as a woman. I like how she breaks through the clutter and shares what really matters.
As an elite triathlete in perimenopause, I was excited to find someone who seemed knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. The podcast is terrible. Most episodes are unending ad reads, and the advice is completely unrealistic for a person with a job and family who simply wants to be more healthy. Skip this pod. It’s not worth the time.
Crazy amount of advertisements. I can’t help but feel like she’s selling them just for monetary benefits and she doesn’t use most of those. Also, nothing she talks about in the past year is novel. Most of them are fairly shallow topics and are being covered by other health podcasters and more comprehensive. She tends to recycle the same podcasts with few adjustments that aren’t exciting.
