Hi, I’m JJ Virgin.
I’m a 4x New York Times bestselling author, fitness and nutrition expert, and host of the Well Beyond 40 podcast.
I’ve spent more than 40 years studying and teaching what actually works when it comes to metabolism, muscle, and long-term health.
Early in my career, even in my 20s, I noticed that most people were being taught the wrong approach.
The focus was always on losing weight instead of building strength, which led to slower metabolisms, muscle loss, and results that rarely lasted.
That insight shaped everything I do today.
My work centers on helping people improve body composition, protect metabolic health, and age powerfully by focusing on what truly drives results: muscle.
When you understand how your body really works, you can finally work with it—not against it.
