    Episode 138: The Muscle Loss Crisis No One's Talking About with JJ Virgin
    Oct 16 2025
    JJ Virgin has watched women torture themselves for decades chasing a number on the scale, only to become weaker and more fragile in the process. In this conversation, she breaks down why body composition—not body weight—determines whether you age with strength or struggle with frailty. We get into the hidden dangers of GLP-1 medications when used without resistance training, why marathon runners have the same muscle mass as couch potatoes, and the three shifts that actually work: adequate protein, lifting heavy things, and walking daily. Whether you're recovering from explant surgery, navigating perimenopause, or just tired of feeling weak, this episode gives you the roadmap to rebuild resilience that lasts. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: * Discover why your scale weight means nothing if you don't know what that weight is made of * Break through the "skinny fat" trap that leaves women metabolically unhealthy despite normal BMI * Transform your understanding of GLP-1 medications and why they're destroying muscle mass when used incorrectly * Uncover the real reason a 90-year-old woman fell outside my office (and how you can prevent the same fate) * Learn the three non-negotiable lifestyle shifts that protect strength, bone density, and metabolic health as you age Check out these episodes: Bioenergetic Strategies in Practice with Harry Massey: https://youtu.be/nir8JIHmUC8 Simple & Powerful Nutrition Strategies for Recovery: https://youtu.be/8mOjxL1ZQDw JJ Virgin's Podcast: Well Beyond 40: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-beyond-40/id911502027 JJ Virgin's Longevity Podcast: http://jjvirgin.com/after60 DEXA scans for body composition assessment: https://www.dexafit.com/services/dexa-scan JJ Virgin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jj.virgin/?hl=en JJ Virgin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jpWhLL36llg1gvesoNlMw Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?t=8oQyjO25X5i&r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 137: Environmental Toxins Are Messing With Your Body—Here's How to Fight Back with Dr. Aly Cohen
    Oct 9 2025
    Rheumatologist and environmental health expert Dr. Aly Cohen reveals a shocking truth: we're all toxic until proven otherwise. From the outdated 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act to the 10,000+ untested chemicals in our food supply, she explains why our bodies are fighting an uphill battle against chronic inflammation. But here's the reality—you don't need to wait for government regulation to start making changes that matter. Dr. Cohen walks through high-yield, actionable changes anyone can make: reverse osmosis water filtration that's cheaper than you think, frozen USDA organic foods that democratize nutrition, and simple swaps that cut chemical exposure without breaking the bank. You'll walk away understanding that your immune system isn't broken—it's just overwhelmed—and you have way more control than you realize. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover when to test and when to act—Dr. Cohen explains why everyone's toxic until proven otherwise, and which changes matter most right now Learn the one federal regulation that actually protects your food and how frozen USDA organics give you pesticide-free nutrition at a fraction of the cost Break down why your tap water is likely contaminated regardless of where you live, and how a $400 reverse osmosis system can save you money compared to carbon filters Expose how dust in your home concentrates chemicals from flame retardants, fragrances, and everyday products—plus the simple cleaning methods that actually work Transform your approach to inflammation by understanding how everyday chemical exposures mimic hormones, disrupt immune signaling, and drive everything from breast implant illness to autoimmune disease Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?t=8oQyjO25X5i&r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 136: Walking, Longevity, and Why Foot Health Is the Missing Link to Aging Well, with Mark Sisson
    Oct 2 2025
    Here's the reality—most people over 60 are walking around in shoes that are slowly destroying their feet, and they don't even know it. Mark Sisson joins me to explain how thick, cushioned, elevated shoes cut off the critical feedback loop between your feet and your brain, leading to weakened arches, lost balance, and eventually those devastating falls that change everything. We dive deep into why foot health is the lowest hanging fruit in longevity right now, how your big toe literally connects to your glute activation, and why the walking you do after surgery (or any day) matters more than you think. Mark shares insights from taking 35 first-time PELUVA wearers on a five-mile hike—nobody got blisters, and everyone felt the difference. If you're serious about staying strong, mobile, and independent as you age, this conversation will change how you think about every step you take. IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: * Discover why conventional cushioned shoes are weakening your feet and compromising your entire kinetic chain—from your arches to your hips to your lower back * Break through the myth that more cushioning equals more comfort, and learn how ground feel and toe splay are actually the keys to pain-free movement and injury prevention * Transform your understanding of the big toe as the anchor of your entire lower body, directly wired to your glutes and essential for strength, balance, and preventing falls * Explore why walking in community isn't just nice to have—it's a longevity strategy that combines movement, mental health, and meaningful connection in one simple practice * Reclaim foot strength and resilience through barefoot training and minimalist footwear, protecting yourself from the frailty, osteoporosis, and devastating falls that derail so many people as they age Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?t=8oQyjO25X5i&r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Sep 11 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Robert Whitfield speaks with Kate Middleton, better known as KB, a toxic-free lifestyle advisor and host of Toxic Free with KB. Her personal experience with autoimmune issues, mold exposure, and stress-related burnout shaped her commitment to helping others reduce toxic load and live more intentionally. Dr. Whitfield and KB discuss the mental strain of toxic perfectionism, the overlooked impact of decision fatigue, and how choosing simplicity can support long-term balance. They explore the role of intuition in wellness decisions, how kb reframed toxic relationships, and why incremental progress often matters more than drastic change. KB also shares her lived experience with Raynaud’s and offers practical strategies for managing daily exposures through small, actionable habits. This conversation is a grounded reminder that reducing toxins is not about perfection. It is about saying no, tuning in, and making sustainable, informed choices.
