[JJ's Power Pick]( [Study Shows the Staggering Cost of Menopause for Women in the Work Force](  The New York Times recently reported that menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats are costing American women an estimated $1.8 billion in lost working time per year. Roughly 15% of women said they missed work or cut back on hours because of menopausal symptoms. It paints a clear picture of the physical, economic, and social challenges women face as we age. If you’re struggling, I’ve got plenty of resources to help you [right here](.   [Why Mainstream Medicine Struggles to Prevent Chronic Disease—and What You Can Do About It]( Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive and host of one of my favorite podcasts, The Drive, discusses in GQ the challenges in shifting medical mindsets towards chronic-disease prevention and highlights the financial disincentives in the healthcare system for focusing on prevention rather than treatment. He also provides practical tips for assessing health and discusses the role of genetics, inflammation, insulin resistance, and exercise in promoting longevity and combating diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Lots of pearls of wisdom in this interview!    [The Joy of Well-Being: A Practical Guide to a Happy, Healthy, and Long Life]( As you may have heard [on my podcast]( recently, mindbodygreen founders Jason & Colleen Wachob are out with a new book challenging our definition of self-improvement. They have worked with renowned experts from various fields and distilled their knowledge into a practical guide that helps you navigate the overwhelming world of wellness. It's not just about following a set of rules; it's about cultivating a joyful lifestyle that centers around your individual needs and desires. This is a great one to add to your summer reading list!   Love, JJ   P.S. My #1 recommendation that I repeatedly give to women over 40: eat more protein and eat protein first. Here’s why: Muscle mass begins to decrease 3-8% per decade after the age of 40. This decreases mobility and makes you more prone to injuries, falls, and other age-related problems. My new FREE 7-Day Eat Protein First Challenge is going to help you feel more energized, more satisfied between meals (goodbye cravings!), and finally help you reach your fat-loss goals.* It comes with lots of delicious recipes to show you just how easy it can be to get in 100+ grams of protein per day—and to finally reach your body-composition goals.
