JJ’s Power Picks

Protein first all day long, optimizing your circadian rhythm, and embracing an unlikely superpower Protein first all day long, optimizing your circadian rhythm, and embracing an unlikely superpower ͏‌ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ  ͏‌ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ  ͏‌ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ Íâ€Œ  [JJ Virgin]( Hi ,   Here are my Power Picks of the week! [JJ's Power Pick]( [Study Shows Importance of Eating Protein at Breakfast & Lunch, Too]( I preach the importance of eating protein first at every meal—and that recommendation is backed by evidence. Take a look: New research focused on adults who ate the bulk of their daily protein at dinner (as most people tend to do) versus those who ate protein in more even amounts throughout their day. Researchers found that the all-day protein group absorbed the essential amino acids of protein better than their counterparts. Your body relies on essential amino acids to function, but you can’t make them on your own. That means every essential amino acid you get has to come from your diet, so a method to help you absorb them better is crucial! Consider this your official reminder to enjoy at least 30 grams of protein at every meal.   [Philips Hue Lighting]( The more I learn about the importance of maintaining my circadian rhythm, the more I look to products that help me wake up refreshed, focused, and eager to tackle the day. Enter: Philips Hue lighting—you’ve probably heard me mention this a few times on my podcast or on YouTube. Their smart wake-up lights help you gently rise to the sound of chirping birds and the hue of natural sunshine, and an accompanying app lets you customize the wakeup routine down to every last gradient of light. If you live in an area that doesn’t get tons of sun, or find it excruciating to get out of bed in the morning, this gentle wakeup call could have you unlock an inner morning person you didn’t know existed.   [‘Eustress’ Is a Secret Superpower. Here’s How to Embrace It]( I know the words “friendly stressor” can feel like a total oxymoron, but there is a certain kind of stress that can actually benefit your health. It’s called eustress and it has a positive and lasting impact on your sense of growth, resilience, and fulfilment. You know that workout that seemed impossible—until you finished it stronger than ever? Or that presentation at work that made you weak in the knees—until it resulted in a promotion? Going forward, I want you to embrace the challenges that seem impossible in the moment, but give you the confidence and positive outlook you need to keep evolving for the better. Join me in embracing this unlikely superpower!   Love, JJ   P.S. Lately, I’ve been missing out on connecting one-on-one with all of you.
