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.

​​After a short break, Peak Human returns with a powerful conversation about one of the biggest problems in modern healthcare: the sick care system.

For decades, the system has been structured around treating illness rather than maintaining health. Incentives are misaligned across the entire industry, from insurance companies and employers to doctors and digital health startups. Despite technological advances, healthcare costs continue rising while population health declines.

In this episode, Aneil, a scientist, investor, and systems thinker, introduces a bold alternative: the Lifespan Model. Drawing on experience in biotechnology, Silicon Valley startups, digital health investing, and incentive design, Aneil explains how healthcare could be rebuilt around the simple idea that people should be rewarded for keeping others healthy.

Instead of replacing the current system overnight, the Lifespan Model proposes a parallel structure, one that aligns financial incentives with longevity, prevention, and long-term wellbeing.

If implemented, this model could transform healthcare from a trillion-dollar illness industry into a system that actually rewards health.
