Why Your Body Won’t Change Until Your Nervous System Feels Safe

“I’ve been a registered nurse and energy healer for years, with decades of personal and spiritual work. Date Your Body was the missing piece: JJ kept bringing me back to my body, week after week. In just eight weeks I changed my relationship with my body and food (I always ate ‘healthy’—just too much), became noticeably more embodied (even my voice changed), and could suddenly balance—something I couldn’t do before, even as a dancer. Attuning to the physical became the portal for everything else to open, and I now relate to life feeling truly safer. JJ’s ability to laser-curate mind-body-soul transformation is unlike anything I’ve experienced. If you feel resistance, do it anyway—don’t wait another year.” Karin R.

“I started Date Your Body on July 12 and tracked every single day in my little green book. Any time I had an issue—big or small—I dropped it in Messenger and JJ responded with exactly what I needed to hear. She celebrates wins instantly, and I’ve had a lot of them: I stopped sugar and wheat, divorced my scale after a lifetime of addiction to it, released weight, and even got enough feeling back in my feet to drive again. With the group’s support through real-life challenges, I’m no longer ashamed of my body—I’m releasing what I don’t need and moving forward.” Julie L.

“I first discovered JJ when I heard her on another podcast, and something about her message resonated so deeply that I binged Spirit, Purpose, and Energy, joined Empower U, and later dove into Rewiring Your Core Wounds—which truly changed my life. Then came Date Your Body, and that program was a 12 out of 10. My clothes started falling off, I was buying new sizes, and I had so many powerful ‘aha’ moments. I realized I had been hiding behind my weight for years, and that wall finally came down. The mirror work—the loving seven and the affirmations—was huge for me. I can now look myself in the eyes and say, ‘I love you, Karon,’ and actually mean it. Adding progesterone cream helped me sleep for the first time in ages, and experimenting with the fasting-mimicking diet—even doing a three-day water fast—became a sustainable, empowering part of my life." Karon P.

“I was searching for a podcast that went deeper—something that integrated health, emotions, and spirit—and when I found JJ’s show, it felt like the three-legged stool I’d been looking for. Walking into the live event, I could feel the love and safety within minutes. It was such a warm, welcoming community—a rare, sacred space to do real healing work. Physically, my body transformed during Date Your Body: I released 17 pounds, gained 2.5 pounds of skeletal muscle, and dropped my visceral and subcutaneous fat by 3.5 percentage points. The needle finally moved in the right direction. But beyond the numbers, I got back on the mountain, ran a 5K without walking, and signed up for my next race. For the first time in a long time, I felt genuine pride. Through fasting, I learned that food had been my drug—and that when I allowed myself to actually feel the feelings and move through them, everything began to change.” Traci D.

“As a hermit who dreaded even seeing myself on Marco Polo, I needed a safe, step-by-step path. Date Your Body is JJ’s magic of implementation—one focused action each week that builds. I used to want to learn everything, but doing is different. DYB moved me from knowing to doing, changed my body composition (even though that wasn’t why I joined), and helped me appreciate the body I have now. For me it was a significant investment—and worth every penny.” Mandy B.

“I discovered JJ’s podcast in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. I was drawn in by the ocean image and her message of emotional and spiritual connection, and I started posting inspirational notes everywhere as I listened. When I signed up for Date Your Body, I thought it was about ‘dating’—but quickly realized it was really about learning to love my body. And I got so much more than I expected. After the first fasting-mimicking week, even simple things changed—getting off the classroom floor was easier, my clothes started falling off, and I fit into my favorite jeans again. I stopped ‘attacking’ the food in the staff lounge and created simple strategies that made me feel good. Each fasting round got easier, and my yoga practice opened back up—I could do poses I hadn’t been able to do since my 20s. Navigating hormones and menopause weight no longer feels like a battle. For the first time in years, I feel back on track, strong, and at peace in my body.” Ami L.

“I found Spirit, Purpose, and Energy back in 2018 or 2019 and I’ve been hooked ever since—two live events, Date Your Body, and even a VIP experience. When I committed to Date Your Body and the VIP, everything shifted. I feel stronger—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—than ever before. I can look at myself naked in the mirror and do ho’oponopono with no shame or resentment. I love my body now, because I finally understand that it tells a freaking awesome story. The tools JJ teaches—‘I release control,’ fasting, and progesterone cream—help me come back to center when I’m triggered, back to peace and love. Physically, the transformation has been undeniable. My inflammation dropped so much that I went from wearing extra-large exam gloves to mediums. That’s monumental. But the biggest shift wasn’t physical—it was spiritual. Through this journey, I discovered that I am love. It felt like a death and a rebirth, and I came out knowing I’m in full control of my outcome.” Kelly R.
