from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin
"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 Love the Podcast?
