The Complete Protein Playbook: Fix Low Energy, Gut Problems, and Muscle Loss Today | JJ Virgin

Your body is brilliant, and it remembers how to heal when you give it what it truly needs. Protein is finally having its moment, but most people are still getting it wrong. In this conversation with JJ Virgin, we break down why so many women are struggling with low energy, stalled metabolism, gut symptoms, and muscle loss, even when they think they’re eating enough protein. This isn’t about restriction, it’s about learning the right order of operations so your body can absorb, build, and thrive.

JJ brings decades of research and clinical experience to help you understand how digestion, stress, aging, and muscle activity shape your protein needs. She also exposes the blind spots in popular diets, the digestive issues sabotaging your protein absorption, and the crucial role of creatine in women’s health. If you’ve been overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this will help you reconnect with clarity and confidence in your body’s capacity to rebuild.
