Are you a busy professional concerned about the effects of stress who wants to maintain vibrant health during midlife and beyond? Then you’ll want to tune into this episode of Beginnings and Breakthroughs, where JJ talks with Deborah Genovesi. Deborah was a stressed-out TV producer who became a holistic health coach and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) practitioner after working through her health challenges. She lost 70 pounds on The Virgin Diet and took control of her health, one step at a time. Here, JJ and Deborah talk about menopause, fibromyalgia, aging powerfully, stress and weight gain, and much more. You’ll learn about Deborah’s struggle with sleep apnea, how poor sleep sabotages weight loss and so much more, and the connection between sleep and menopause. Plus, JJ shares a simple hack to manage trigger foods, the worst ingredients in “healthy” foods, the secret for weight loss that doesn’t involve counting calories (or anything), what people get wrong about intuitive eating, and how to determine “good hurt” and “bad hurt” when it comes to exercise. “Don't try to peel the entire onion at once,” JJ tells Deborah. “Peel the onion little by little, because you have the most success when you focus on one thing.” You can take that same singular-minded focus to reach your goals with JJ’s pearls of wisdom throughout this fun, informative episode.
