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.
