I like the information you give, thank you.
Your calculator isn’t working. A window pops up saying step 1 and nothing else.
Hi @Boggsgirl – please try this link: jjvirgin.com/7day . You may need to wait a moment for the rest of the pop-up to show up so you can use the calculator. If it is still not working for you, please try from a different browser or device. We hope that helps! – Team JJ
Does berberine inhibit muscle synthesis? Should you skip it on strength training days?
@margaretfreeman6219 Hi Margaret, there is not enough evidence to support that claim. It’s not a muscle-building supplement but it indirectly supports muscle growth through blood sugar balance (if you’re exercising). It is not necessary to skip days for that purpose. We hope that helps! – Team JJ
@@jjvirginvideos Thank you so much!
I’ve been using Berberine for about 6 mos & it’s an awesome supplement. I take MCT (C8 & C10) & magnesium taurate – all 3 combo is a powerhouse for your health. I did alot of research to come to this conclusion before I added them to my regiment. I’m really happy that I stuck with it. Working out, changing up your diet, getting your protein, intermittent fasting, that works for me!❤ I also take a good B complex, magnesium bisglycinate, creatine, potassium citrate, & nitric oxide booster. I added those in the last few months & these have really helped me. When I take a shower I always turn it to cold before I finish up, it takes some adjustment but it feels great actually. Lymphatic massage & dry brushing are important too. ❤
What brand of berberine?
@@mrsmc2612 it’s suggested that you need the MCT & magnesium taurate to work with the berberine for maximum absorption. Alot of water also, by alot I mean a gallon a day will definitely help.
Thank you so much for sharing
I want to reverse my diabetes and get to my weight goal
@@lissettelopez3013 try to use all 3 supplements berberine, mag taurate & MCT – they work together & will help much more. ❤️
What brands? I’ve been taking Magnesium taurate for about a year and I just started keto so I was thinking about buying some MCT but didn’t know which to purchase. Also what brand berberine. Thanks for the assist.
Berberine causes nausea with me.
I used your protein calculator and it seems to suggest I need 1 gram of protein for every lb I weigh. Shouldn’t that be 1 gram per 1 pound of ideal body weight? Because I weigh 223, I’m female, and 5″2. To get that much protein I would have to eat a little over 3 lbs of ground beef a day or a little over 5 large chicken breasts. As a carnivore who ONLY eats meat, fish, and eggs I don’t think I can eat this much protein per day. I usually average between 130 to 150 grams of protein per day and that’s eating a pound of ground beef for one meal and eggs with some kind of meat for my second meal. And I already can’t lose weight eating that much.
Carnivore has completely turned my health around and any time I try and reintroduce vegetables I get a return of symptoms. So I plan to stay carnivore for the foreseeable future, but unfortunately I don’t experience the weight loss that most people experience on carnivore. Which is why I started following you and one other channel. I’m trying to figure out how to tweak things to allow me to lose weight, because I’m very overweight.
If you think I should really eat 223 grams of protein per day I could try, but it’s going to push my calories up quite high because I’ll be almost doubling what I already eat each day.
If she doesn’t answer you, I watched Tammy’s ageless beauty and Tammy lost a lot of weight by eating protein daily by her ideal weight. Then when you want to maintain it you keep the same protein grams.
@@jeanettec6212 Thanks!
Your body might needs some carbs too
@@denisemichaels9545 No. When I eat carbs and/or vegetables I get a return of symptoms. I suffered for years and don’t want to go back to that. I would rather feel good. Not to mention I also couldn’t lose weight when I used to eat carbs.
I am certainly not a medical professional but I can share what I am doing under the guidance of mine. My own doctor has me targeting 1 gram of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. In my case, it’s about 110 grams/day. Hope this is helpful!
Excellent video for right now!! 🎉❤
Glad you liked it!!
12 weeks of semaglutide and Ozempic and I lost not one ounce despite decreased appetite even with the focus on protein 😢so doesn’t work for everyone
Hey Eli🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Same here I only waste my money
I’ve been on it for 8 months. I’ve lost about 30 pounds. It was slow, but post menopause, plus taking a drug that makes gain weight, I could not loose any weight no what I tried. This drug got rid of my sugar addiction
What amount of berberine do you suggest daily? Thx! 💗

What do you think about Inositol and Choline for weight loss?
can you take berberine while on semaglutide
I want to know too since I am on low dose of ozempic
These are very dangerous drugs.
Semiglutide must be bad for business 😂
I have seen a few comments from people that berberine leaches iron. Is that true and how to avoid that?
