Hi Joey,

I'm new to your workouts, the plant-based approach, and your overall philosophy. I’ve been searching for the "truth" in fitness and health, and that really resonated with me in one of the first videos I watched.

I have a couple of questions regarding the Brain-Belly-Body Elixir Mixer:

1.  If I start taking the elixir, would I still need to supplement with electrolytes?

2.  As a woman over 50, I’ve seen a lot of encouragement to take creatine. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether that is necessary or beneficial alongside your formula.

I’ll share more of my story another time, but I look forward to hearing your perspective.

Best regards,

Theresa Scroggins

Hi Joey 😊

I’d love your advice on something that’s been limiting me during some of the exercises.

I have unusually small wrists, and I think that might be contributing to a recurring issue. For quite a few years I’ve noticed that my wrists ache and feel unstable whenever I go into any kind of press‑up position — whether it’s wall height, countertop height, from my knees, or even using the side of the sofa. I’ve always just worked around it, but now that I’m trying to progress with certain moves, it’s becoming more of a problem and is holding me back.

I also feel it during some bicep curl variations. If I do a hammer curl with a turning motion, my wrist feels weak, sometimes clicks, and it almost feels like something might pop out of place. Because of that sensation, I can’t fully focus on the muscles I’m trying to work, and I end up backing off the movement.

I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to strengthen my wrists safely and build more stability so I can progress without worrying about that clicking/instability feeling.

Thank you so much — your training has helped me so much already, and I want to make sure I’m doing things in the safest, most effective way.

Sending much love to you Joey ❤️and I hope you and you’re family are well 🙏🙏

Hi Joey found myself watching your YouTube videos saying yes that’s me I’m 55yr old Grandma I don’t sleep well so high cortisol might be issue but my belly is what I’m looking to tone excessive weight gain with bloat and distend lately where do I start

I’m starting with the 6 day intermediate program and some days have multiple videos. Am I supposed to pick 1 and do multiple sets or do all the videos?

Hi Joey,

I have upgraded to the 6-day sampler, but then had to stop because my neck and left shoulder blade got really stiff (this a known and usual issue). However, every time I start to get stronger, I hurt myself, digress, and lose my rhythm. It’s so frustrating!

Last week after a chiropractic adjustment, I came home and did your abs exercise that grabs to a sofa and lifts the legs and butt. I IMMOBILIZED myself! I am still recovering but the pain is strong.

Lower and upper back are my trouble zones and weak points. How am I going to strengthen them if I keep getting hurt when trying to train them very gently and following your recommendations.

What kind of guidance can you give me to start building strength?

Food is in good shape. Sleep is usually great too but lately with this stiffness, I am waking up in the middle of night and staying up for 30 minutes to an hour.

Looking forward to your recommendations!

Thank you very much!
