JJ VirginHOST
And I feel like a lot of the diets out there have disconnected us from that.
JJ VirginHOST
Everything that I've written, from The Virgin Diet to The Sugar Impact Diet, and pretty soon you'll see with The Metabolism Fix, yay, is connecting the dots between what you're eating and what you're able to do, right? You're fueling.
JJ VirginHOST
You're fueling your microbiome.
JJ VirginHOST
You're fueling your brain.
JJ VirginHOST
I really love that you're bringing up the word resilience.
JJ VirginHOST
Funny, when I wrote The Virgin Diet, it was never drop seven foods forever.
Will ColeGUEST
Right.
JJ VirginHOST
It was an elimination diet.

JJ VirginHOST
Great...
JJ VirginHOST
I mean, when I, you know, when I wrote The Virgin Diet, I remember it was like all of a sudden I was Virgin Diet and Wheat Belly and Grain Brain, and all of a sudden gluten-free junk food became, like...
JJ VirginHOST
And now we've got protein, high-protein junk food.
Hal ElrodHOST
You're known for a lot of books, a lot of your work.
Hal ElrodHOST
But the Virgin Diet was a big book that I think in some ways maybe put you on the map.
Hal ElrodHOST
You're already on the map, but it became.
Hal ElrodHOST
Oh, no, that definitely put me on the map.
Hal ElrodHOST
How many years ago was the Virgin Diet? And then how would you say this book, The Metabolism Fix, the new book, how does it complement the Virgin Diet? Is it the evolution of the Virgin Diet? Is it something that the Virgin Diet that you weren't aware of back then that now kind of you're more present to? Like, I want to understand the connection to those two.
Hal ElrodHOST
books
JJ VirginGUEST
this is actually the metabolism fix should be the first book in the series of the series of the virgin diet and the sugar impact diet this is the book that literally i've been waiting 40 years to write this for me because i started working with so many clients early on and i was going against my teachers and having them lift weights and i was taking them down to gold's gym in venice on field trips to show them that see unless you take steroids you don't get big

I need to take a moment to breathe after that intro.
David PerlmutterGUEST
Oh, it's gluten-free, I'll take a double dose.
JJ VirginHOST
Oh my gosh, remember that? I remember with The Virgin Diet, people would come over and they go, "Look what I found." I'm like, "It's a cookie.
JJ VirginHOST
It's still a cookie."
David PerlmutterGUEST
Stop it.
