Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

1. It\u2019s crucial to maintain a good acid-alkaline balance. A good way to do that is by eating plenty of non-starchy veggies, especially deep green leafies.
2. Stress can lead to the breakdown of muscle and bone. JJ's top tips for managing stress include tapping, meditation, and burst training.
3. The right types of fats, like omega-3 fats from fish oil, can help with bone remodeling. Not only that, fish oil can also help with hormone receptor sensitivity, which is key when you're going through menopause and hormones like estrogen and progesterone are beginning to decline.
