Menopause isn’t the problem.The narrative around it is.In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold sits down with JJ Virgin to dismantle the cultural script that tells women over 40 their body is in decline—and replace it with what’s actually happening biologically.This conversation separates myth from physiology. Menopause is not the collapse of your health. It’s a shift in hormonal regulation that exposes what was already there—metabolic dysfunction, poor sleep, inflammation, and lack of muscle.JJ breaks down:Why mindset determines aging outcomes more than biologyThe real drivers of weight gain, brain fog, and fatigueHow muscle, protein, and training offset hormonal shiftsWhy most women are misled about metabolism after 40The role of insulin, cortisol, and thyroid in stalled progressHow to identify whether your issue is lifestyle, hormones, or deeper dysfunctionThis isn’t about “aging gracefully.” It’s about whether you’re willing to train, fuel, and think differently as your margin for error disappears.Resources🔗 JJ Virgin: https://jjvirgin.com/🔗 How Your Brain Actually Works with Bizzie Gold on Well Beyond 40: https://youtu.be/qylytsQK1rk?si=u2WLuq0hdEWU45eQ🔗 Find out your Brain Pattern Type: https://predictivemind.io/ 🔗 Learn about Rapid Emotional Rewiring: https://breakmethod.com/ 🔗 My Peptide Supplier: https://elliemd.com/bizziegold 🔗 The Only Sauna I Recommend: https://www.healingsauna.com/bizzie?rfsn=8731070.5183d1 (Use CODE: BGHEAL for $200 OFF + Free Shipping)
