    Why You Lose Muscle Faster After 40 (And How to Stop It) with Dr. Jamie Seeman Aug 10, 2026
    Show notes

    "Doctors are humans, and we are patients, too. I decided to start sharing what I was doing in my own life, and it has transformed the way I practice medicine, the way I parent, and literally every aspect of my life." - Dr. Jamie Seeman

    I had to track down Dr. Jamie Seeman (a.k.a. Dr. Fit and Fabulous) because her content is absolutely amazing! As a board-certified OBGYN with specialized training in nutrition, menopause, and exercise science, Jamie brings a unique perspective to women's health that's both scientifically sound and personally tested. After struggling with prediabetes, hypothyroidism, and feeling unfulfilled, she transformed her health by returning to basics—proper nutrition and strength training. We dive deep into the critical importance of muscle for women over 40, why resistance training should be prioritized over cardio, and how to optimize hormones during perimenopause and beyond. Jamie debunks popular myths about exercise's impact on cortisol and shares her practical approach to nutrition that emphasizes protein and minimizes processed foods. Her journey from collegiate athlete to overworked physician to vibrant health advocate offers inspiration and actionable strategies for any woman wanting to reclaim her vitality.

    What you’ll learn:

    • How losing muscle mass accelerates metabolic decline during perimenopause and menopause
    • Why protein intake becomes increasingly crucial as we age (and how much you really need)
    • The truth about resistance training versus cardio for women's health
    • How to incorporate effective sprint training without spending hours in the gym
    • The powerful connection between circadian rhythm and hormone optimization
    • When to consider hormone replacement therapy and what to pair with it for best results
    • Why basic lifestyle fundamentals outperform supplements and quick fixes for menopause

    Show notes

    Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/6Sb22mW_24s?si=nMQtTBID6kid2pUf

    Could your low-carb diet be raising your blood sugar instead of lowering it?

    I’m joined by Zane Griggs, health practitioner and fitness coach, to explore why strict low-carb routines can unexpectedly backfire on your metabolism. We break down the surprising role of glucagon, an overlooked stress hormone that elevates fasting blood sugar when you chronically over-exercise or under-fuel. Listen in as we share why stepping away from rigid diet dogma and embracing smart, whole-food carbohydrates can help you reclaim your energy and thrive.


    What You’ll Learn
    (00:00) Why rigid dieting and excessive exercise can interfere with your health, happiness, and relationships.
    (01:23) How elevated blood sugar, thyroid symptoms, low energy, and sleep disruptions may reveal chronic metabolic stress.
    (02:09) Why glucagon may be the overlooked stress hormone driving higher fasting blood sugar.
    (03:38) How prolonged carbohydrate restriction can reduce your body’s ability to process carbohydrates effectively.
    (05:12) Why glucagon, adrenaline, and cortisol provide short-term energy but can create problems when chronically elevated.
    (06:20) How inefficient ATP production may contribute to metabolic disease, poor sleep, and other chronic health concerns.
    (06:51) Why telling people to “keto harder” can invalidate legitimate symptoms caused by under-fueling and long-term restriction.
    (09:14) How a flexible whole-food diet, including quality carbohydrates and plant fibers, can support your metabolism and gut health.

    The Body Knows How to Heal—Here’s What May Be Getting in the Way Aug 05, 2026
    Show notes

    Which foundational health habits should you address before trying another supplement?

    Today I’m with nutritional therapist and self-described “Healing Cave Lady” Mary Darnall to explore the health crisis that transformed her into a determined researcher and practitioner. We discuss why true healing often begins with simple foundations like calming your nervous system, chewing your food, hydrating with minerals, improving lymphatic flow, and reducing toxic exposures. You’ll learn why symptoms are important messages from your body and how returning to the basics can help you build greater resilience at any age.

    What you’ll learn:

    (05:45) Mary’s experience fighting for her son’s health transformed her into a passionate health advocate.

    (11:26) A stool analysis uncovered a serious bacterial imbalance that had previously been overlooked.

    (12:43) Hear which nutrition, gut-support, and detoxification strategies Mary used as her son began making dramatic progress.

    (14:54) Mary believes sustainable healing requires mastering foundational practices instead of chasing quick fixes.

    (16:33) Women may benefit from improving their health and reducing harmful exposures before trying to conceive.

    (23:35) Stress, rushed eating, and inadequate chewing may interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption.

    (27:03) Mary describes mast cell activation and its possible connection to toxins, histamine symptoms, and recurring viral symptoms.

    (39:41) Learn practical ways to support hydration, mineral intake, lymphatic movement, circulation, and detoxification each day.

    How to Target and Burn Visceral Belly Fat After Forty Aug 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Do you know the critical difference between pinchable subcutaneous fat and dangerous visceral adipose tissue?

    I’m breaking down why belly fat becomes such a common frustration after 40 and why it is not simply a matter of willpower. I explain how menopause, insulin resistance, stress, sleep, thyroid function, muscle loss, and food choices can influence where your body stores fat. Most importantly, I share practical ways to reduce visceral fat, preserve muscle, and work strategically with your changing biology.

    What you’ll learn:

    (02:36) Discover the crucial difference between subcutaneous fat and dangerous visceral adipose tissue surrounding your abdominal organs.

    (06:14) Learn targeted lifestyle techniques like cold water baths, reducing fructose, and doing high-intensity interval training to burn visceral fat.

    (07:33) Understand how microdosing GLP-1 medications works and how essential amino acids help prevent muscle loss.

    (10:28) Explore how combining protein and fiber slows stomach emptying, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports long-term insulin sensitivity.

    (13:05) Uncover the ways declining estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones contribute to midlife muscle loss and weight gain.

    (17:10) Realize why performing a macro audit and tracking your food with a scale can help you uncover hidden calorie overconsumption.

    (22:12) Find out how high cortisol from chronic stress drives belly fat storage and how vagus nerve stimulation can help regulate your nervous system.

    (28:36) Learn how a short protein-sparing modified fast combined with daily walking can effectively break through a weight loss plateau.

    The Truth About Female Testosterone Jul 31, 2026
    Show notes

    Did you know that testosterone is actually the most abundant sex hormone in women's bodies prior to menopause?

    I’m sitting down with Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologist and women’s sexual health expert, to tackle one of the most misunderstood hormones in women: testosterone. We explore why testosterone matters for everything from your cellular energy and gym gains to motivation, mood, and libido, plus why a “normal” lab result might not tell the whole story. I also ask the practical questions you need answered about testing, finding the right level for your body, recognizing side effects, and approaching testosterone replacement safely.

    (02:07) Testosterone supports cellular and mitochondrial health, helping explain its connection to energy throughout the body.

    (02:51) Potential signs of low testosterone, including fatigue, declining gym performance, lower libido, and changes in mood.

    (03:34) Kelly describes testosterone as a motivation hormone that may influence much more than sexual desire.

    (04:37) Testosterone levels begin declining after your twenties, well before the dramatic hormonal changes associated with menopause.

    (05:41) There isn’t one simple “optimal” testosterone number; and timing, dosing, and natural hormone fluctuations complicate lab results.

    (07:47) Kelly’s three-part approach to evaluating testosterone treatment: how you feel, whether you experience unwanted side effects, and what your labs show.

    (10:18) Learn which blood test Kelly recommends for measuring female testosterone and why some standard testosterone tests may be poorly suited to women’s lower physiologic levels.

    Regenerating Your Joints Safely with Dr. Ashu Goyle Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    Are you mistaking temporary pain relief for actual healing?

    In this episode, I sit down with my own doctor, Dr. Ashu Goyle, a double board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain specialist who left the world of traditional pain management to practice regenerative medicine. We dig into why cortisone shots, ablations, and even spinal fusions often accelerate the very joint and spine damage they're meant to fix, and why pain itself is a signal your body wants you to listen to, not silence. Dr. Goyle breaks down PRP, prolotherapy, and stem cell therapies so you understand exactly how to protect your joints now instead of waiting until something hurts.

    What you’ll learn:

    03:40 Joint pain, not time, is what really slows women down after 40.

    04:20 Dr. Goyle trained at the Cleveland Clinic learning to mask pain, not heal it.

    05:57 A 2017 conference and Kobe Bryant's recovery story sparked his shift to regenerative medicine.

    10:11 Cortisone shots relieve pain but break down the tissue that keeps joints healthy.

    12:44 Ablations ease pain short-term but can atrophy spinal muscles and lead to fusion.

    14:39 Diet, gut health, and sleep are the foundation of joint health.

    21:04 PRP uses your own blood to deliver growth factors that help cartilage heal.

    24:24 Treatment quality depends on metabolic optimization, which rules out candidates like smokers.

    Revolutionize Your Longevity with AI Jul 24, 2026
    Show notes

    What would change about your healthcare if an AI could model your exact biology instead of general population averages?
    I sat down with Dr. Darshan Shah, a physician of 30 years and the founder of Next Health, to talk about where personalized medicine is headed — starting with the wild idea of a "digital twin" that can help predict how your body will respond to everything from sauna sessions to surgery. We got into why AI is only half the equation, and why the best care will always pair that technology with an empathetic human practitioner. Darshan also walked me through the pyramid he uses with patients, proving that the flashiest biohacks mean nothing without the foundational habits of sleep, movement, and nutrition underneath them.


    (00:00) What a digital twin is and how it's built from your data.
    (01:31) How close we already are to having your own digital twin.
    (01:44) Why digital twins could be a game changer for menopause.
    (02:53) The biggest risk of letting AI replace human healthcare.
    (04:39) What Next Health is and why Dr. Shah built it.
    (07:07) Why your foundational habits have to come before advanced biohacks.
    (08:13) How Next Health's four-level pyramid guides your health journey.
    (10:11) What's most exciting right now for women's health over 40.

    Dan Pardi Reveals Vitamin C's Surprising Anti-Aging Power Jul 22, 2026
    Show notes

    Are you taking the right form of vitamin C, or is most of it going to waste?

    In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Dan Pardi to unpack a brand-new study revealing "ferroaging" — a mechanism where iron builds up in our tissues and quietly accelerates how we age. Dan, a researcher and health-behavior expert who helps develop products at Qualia, walks me through why vitamin C turned out to be the single most powerful compound for slowing and even reversing this process. We get into the forms, doses, and timing that actually make vitamin C work, so you can move it from an afterthought to a true foundation of your longevity stack.

    What you’ll learn:

    06:08 Why vitamin C matters far beyond fighting off colds and flus.

    06:57 What the brand-new Cell Metabolism study revealed about a new aging mechanism called ferroaging.

    08:22 How ferroptosis differs from normal cell death — and why iron makes cells "explode".

    13:01 Why vitamin C beat every other compound at blocking this iron-driven aging process.

    16:52 What happened when monkeys drank vitamin C for 40 months, including younger brains and tissues.

    22:03 How liposomal, buffered, and ascorbic-acid forms of vitamin C differ in absorption.

    27:07 How to time your vitamin C so it doesn't blunt your workout gains.

    47:19 Which foundational supplements Dan builds his own longevity stack around.

    The Creatine Playbook: Why Women Need This One Supplement Jul 20, 2026
    Show notes

    Did you know that women naturally have 70% to 80% lower tissue stores of creatine than men?


    Creatine has evolved from a “bodybuilding” supplement into a practical tool for energy, recovery, strength, and even brain support, with especially compelling benefits for women who may have lower creatine stores and notice more fatigue, brain fog, or slower recovery. It works by helping replenish ATP, the body’s quick-access energy supply, which can translate into harder workouts, better performance, stronger muscles, and longer-term support for bone and metabolic health; while creatine monohydrate is the most studied form, many people also look at alternative forms for better tolerance and dosing convenience. My perspective is that creatine is particularly valuable for women—not just “gym bros”—especially during cycling, perimenopause, and menopause, when energy, mood, muscle, and cognition can all be challenged.


    What you’ll learn:
    (00:00) Why creatine is essential for women, not just bodybuilders
    (01:55) Why women have lower baseline creatine stores than men
    (03:22) How menopause increases your need for creatine
    (04:06) Why creatine monohydrate causes bloating and gas
    (05:31) Why creatine HCl absorbs better with no digestive side effects
    (06:51) How muscle mass boosts your resting fat burn
    (08:55) Debunking myths on bulkiness and kidney damage
    (09:41) How to dose creatine HCl with magnesium and taurine
