So many women eating carefully still struggle with low energy, gut flare ups, and a slow slide in strength. Talking with JJ Virgin brought real clarity to why this happens and what our bodies actually need to rebuild. JJ lays out a simple and compelling way to think about protein, muscle, and metabolism, especially for women dealing with fatigue, gut issues, or body composition changes. She shares how most women are radically under-eating protein, why quality matters, and how digestion, stress, and environmental toxins shape what we can absorb.
We move through her muscle first philosophy, the way contracted muscle turns into a powerful sugar sponge, and why creatine gives women such steady support for mood, brain function, and recovery. JJ also talks through the protein sources that consistently work for sensitive or chronically ill bodies and how choosing yourself through small, trackable habits becomes a real turning point over time. Everything she shares is practical and doable, and the conversation feels like a deep breath for anyone trying to rebuild from stress or long standing symptoms.
Key Takeaways
- Protein Targets Matter – Higher protein supports muscle repair, energy, and metabolism in women.
- Absorption Determines Results – Stress and low stomach acid reduce protein digestion.
- Clean Animal Protein – Grass fed meat, wild fish, and pastured eggs digest better.
- Muscle Drives Metabolism – Muscle improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
- Creatine For Women – Creatine supports brain energy, mood, and recovery.
- Track The Basics – Protein intake and steps drive long-term metabolic change.
