In this episode of Peak Human, Brian Sanders sits down with physician, athlete, and author Dr. Jaime Seeman to discuss what it really takes to become “hard to kill.”
Dr. Seeman is a practicing OB-GYN, former Mrs. Nebraska, competitive athlete, and metabolic health advocate. After struggling with her own metabolic issues, including prediabetes and hypothyroidism, she transformed her health through diet, strength training, and lifestyle changes.
Together, Brian and Dr. Seeman explore how metabolic dysfunction develops, why muscle is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, and why focusing on nutrients instead of calories may be the key to fixing modern health problems. They also dive into women’s metabolic health, perimenopause, visceral fat, and the role of diet evolution, from ketogenic to carnivore to a flexible real-food approach.
This conversation breaks down the science of human nutrition and performance while offering practical strategies for living stronger, longer, and healthier.
