15 Dec 2025 · 6 min
A JJ Virgin podcast episode where a listener asks how to stay healthy during an intensive Tony Robbins four-day event. JJ offers experience-based, practical strategies: bring a large refillable water container and powdered vitamin C (mentions sparkling C with quercetin), pack ready-to-eat healthy meals/snacks (bars, nuts, grass-fed jerky, green drink), carry essential supplements (multivitamin/minerals, fish oil, extra vitamin D, magnesium), prioritize sleep and use sleep-support tactics (red/blue-blocker glasses, a "sleep candy" supplement, Epsom-salt baths, consistent sleep hygiene), build in alone/down time to recharge, move regularly (dance, stairs, walks), and dress in layers. The episode includes multiple sponsor/promotional reads and a brief interaction with Anne Bogle.

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating, and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Sweet Ray Ban Meta glasses available at Ray Ban stores and other authorized retailers. All right. I still remember when I was gearing up to go to Tony Robbins four day Business Mastery event out in Palm beach and I'd heard about the Tony flu and I'm like, I am not getting the Tony flu. And so what did I do? And so this is honestly, I go to a lot of events. Not right now, of course, but I'm going to events online, which it makes it a lot easier to do these things when you're home. But I have a little process and it's what I do when I travel too. And it's basically how I roll is these following things. If I'm going to be somewhere in person, I make sure that I have things with me. So, so kind of behaving like a Girl Scout. I always have a big container for water and I bring some extra powdered vitamin C. I have something called sparkling C with some quercetin in it so that I'm making sure that I'm keeping my immune system strong all throughout. Plus it tastes yummy. I also bring and I find most of those places have water refill stations. So you're good. So get a big container for water. I also bring snacks with me now, not because I snack, if you've been around my block, you know, I'm not big on snacking, but so that I'll use these as meals if I'm getting stuck. One of the things that Tony Robbins is notorious for is like you're just in there and the only thing you may have an option to eat for a while is concession food, which I'm not putting in my temple. So I bring with me my bars and I bring a variety of my bars, my dark chocolate coconut fiber bars, my all in one bars, my keto bars. So I bring those and then I also bring some nuts and you can also bring some grass fed jerky shout out to my buddies over at Paleo Valley. So those are some of the easier things to bring, maybe some fruit is fruit, nuts, jerky bars, and especially great if you also bring a green drink with you. I like my girlfriend, Dr. Anna Kabeca's mighty Maca. So you can do that. Bring some of that stuff with you, easy enough to add to the water bottle, and then you really have yourself covered. And that's basically what I want to make sure I do. I honestly like, if I can go out to eat, I'm going to do it. But I want to know that if I get trapped, I am not stuck. And hey, it's also a great time now that you've gone through the virgin diet, the sugar impact diet, and you've gotten yourself so that you are a good fat burner, you can go longer in between meals. Great time to do some intermittent fasting as well. Now, I am by nature an introvert, which means I recharge by myself, not with a big crowd. And so being in a big crowd for an extended period of time can zap my energy. And I know that about myself. You may be just the opposite and you are in luck in these situations, but I am not. So since I know that about myself, I. I also build in time for just to be able to disconnect and be by myself. And that might be you walking out to a stairwell where no one is and just sitting down and doing some meditation. Might be going out for a walk solo. Whatever it is that you need to do to take that disconnection time. If you need it, do it, plan it in, learn about yourself. I didn't know this at first about myself and I had years of coming out of things just feeling absolutely wrecked. And then I realized, oh, I just need to be by myself for a little bit. So I know it and I do it. All right, so we talked about your own food and water and then I started talking about a couple things like greens and vitamin C. This is when I make sure that I'm getting my supplements in to make sure I stay immune, strong, stay on my game, have great energy. So I always carry my supplements with me. Always. A good daily essential package, good multivitamin mineral antioxidant formula with extra fish oil. I take extra vitamin D, I take extra magnesium. So make sure that you've got all that with you. You can be a little revved up at night. I also, I know some of these things go till like 12, 1, 2 o' clock in the morning. I will not mess with my sleep. It just, I won't. It's a non negotiable for me. I won't mess with my sleep and I don't miss my exercise. So so I make sure that I get my sleep and I make sure I have my sleep candy supplement with me in case I need to make that shift. And I would also highly recommend bringing some glasses with you if it is going into the evening. Put on the red tinted blue blocker glasses to help your body start to shift cause you're in a really energizing environment and your brain's gonna be lit up which will make it hard to go to sleep. Coming back to your hotel, having a hot bath if you got Epsom salts, bonus points, maybe a little lavender oil. Putting the red glasses on, doing your sleep candy. Follow your sleep hygiene at night. I'm really good about having my habits the same wherever I am. Waking up in the morning, sun, sunlight, I bring little bulletproof coffee pods, whole thing. Then two more things. Make sure you're moving. You know at all these events they have a lot of dancing. Great way to get some exercise in. Take advantage of that. Use the stairs walk. And then another one is make sure you're layering so that you don't get overly cold. All right. And again, I'm not sure when these events are going to start back, but these are great things to use with whatever you're doing, whether you're traveling, whether you're doing online events at home. Just making sure that you're prioritizing yourself and that your health goes above everything else. Remember, self care is selfless. This is JJ with Ask the Health Expert.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I tag all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately. And I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try.
