What if your autoimmune disease isn’t your body attacking itself, it’s your body trying to protect you? For decades, we’ve been told that the autoimmune conditions are irreversible and must be managed for life. But what if that’s only part of the story.

Today’s guest challenges conventional medicine with a powerful idea. The body isn’t broken, it’s responding to interference. And when you remove that interference, healing becomes possible. Now, if you’re struggling with fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, thyroid issues, or hormonal chaos, this episode could completely change how you understand and approach your health.

I found Dr. Jamie Seeman on Instagram as Dr. Fit and Fabulous, and the moment I saw her content, I knew I had to get her on the show. She’s hitting exactly what gets me excited: the intersection of menopause, nutrition, and exercise science all wrapped up in one person.
Dr. Jamie’s a board-certified OB-GYN and certified menopause specialist practicing in Omaha, Nebraska.

But here’s what really grabbed me—she’s got a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and exercise science on top of her medical training. That’s basically my dream combination of credentials, right there.
In our conversation, we’re digging into why muscle is the missing link nobody’s talking about in women’s health, why most women are seriously under-eating protein, what’s actually going on in your body during perimenopause, and how to build real strength without ever worrying about getting “too big.”

What would you do if your child became seriously ill and no one could give you answers? Well, today’s guest refused to accept uncertainty as a diagnosis. Instead, she took matters into her own hands, transforming her son’s health and her own in the process. What she discovered challenges conventional thinking about chronic illness, detoxification, and the power of nutrition.

Now, if you’ve ever felt gaslit by traditional medicine or told that your symptoms are something you simply have to live with, this episode will change how you see healing forever. Welcome to well beyond 40. I’m your host, JJ Virgin, and this is the show for women who want to age powerfully, stay strong, and take control of their health. And today I’m joined by Mary Darnall, who is a nutritional therapist and a specialist in histamine intolerance and detoxification.

Today we are talking all about belly fat. It is one of the biggest frustrations I hear for women 40 plus, which we’re going to dive into. What the heck it is, why do you get it and then what do we do about it? And all the different things that can be influencing it, driving it, impacting it.

Dr. Ashu Goyle spent years as a double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist trained at the Cleveland Clinic, mastering the art of shutting pain signals off. Then a regenerative medicine conference changed everything, and now he runs Integrated Spine, Pain and Wellness in Scottsdale, Arizona, helping people actually heal instead of just numbing the problem.

Today we are going to be doing one of my favorite kinds of lives because we’re talking about supplements for women, 40 plus what you should be taking, what are the foundational supplements, what are the must haves, what are the nice to haves, what are the don’t bother. It’s a waste of money. And how do we simplify this? Not complicate things, but really get the best bang for your buck.
