Sex, Red Wine and Raw Dark Chocolate and Why It’s All Good for You!

Below is just a small sampling of what JJ Virgin talked about with Karen & Salma

• If you want to get fit, it’s not just one thing. You really have to take a completely integrated approach because your body is not a bank account, it’s a chemistry lab and it’s a history book and it’s a party!

• The benefits of raw dark chocolate, glass of red wine and sex with a partner.
  
  
• Managing stress and getting seven to nine hours of high-quality sleep every night, which has been proven to aid in weight loss.
  
  
• Trademarked 4×4 Workout, an intense resistance-training program that splits the body into four areas: upper body pulling, upper body pushing, hips and thighs, and power core. (Her 4×4 Workout is free for all listeners)
  
  
• “Intensity rules,” she adds. “Exercise is only exercise if you’re getting hot and sweaty and it hurts.”
  
  
• She shares her Green Smoothie recipe and talks about the benefits of coconut
  
  
• How genetic tools are now at the forefront of weight loss issues
  
  
• Which sweeteners are okay and which you want to avoid at all costs (you’re going to be surprised at some of these)
  
  
• Listen in as she shares so much more
