Food Is Medicine Policy, Fresh RX Oklahoma, and Regenerative Agriculture with Erin Martin
Brian sits down with Erin Martin, CEO/founder of Fresh RX Oklahoma and co-lead of the Oklahoma Food Is Medicine Policy Coalition. They discuss her background in gerontology, early work in long-term care, and observations that U.S. older adults average 15+ prescriptions, contrasting with healthier aging and cultural differences she saw in Italy. She describes launching Fresh RX during the pandemic with $185,000 to prescribe locally sourced, low-pesticide food plus lifestyle education for type 2 diabetes patients in North Tulsa, now serving 500+ patients via 22 clinics, measuring biometrics and cost savings with a reported 4–5x ROI.

How to Be Hard to Kill: Metabolic Health, Muscle, and the Truth About Diets with Dr. Jaime Seeman
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. Show Notes 04:00 – Why modern medicine focuses on treatment instead of prevention 07:00 – The growing movement for metabolic health 11:00 – Diet tribes vs. real food 12:00 – Dr. Seeman's personal metabolic health journey 15:00 – Keto, carnivore, and evolving diets 18:00 – The Sapien lifestyle: eating like humans evolved to eat 20:00 – Women's hormones, carbs, and the menstrual cycle 23:00 – Fasted training and metabolic flexibility 27:00 – Nutrient density vs calorie counting 31:00 – Muscle: the most overlooked organ in medicine 33:00 – Visceral fat and hidden metabolic disease 35:00 – Beauty and nutrition 42:00 – C-sections, childbirth, and the infant microbiome BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Follow along: <p id="viewer-82m9o" class="-SRE-

The Solution to the Sickcare System
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. SHOW NOTES: 00:00 – Peak Human Returns & Show Updates 04:30 – Aneil's Background in Science and Startups 08:30 – Systems Thinking and Incentive Design 10:30 – Why the Healthcare System Is Broken 14:30 – The Incentive Problem in Medicine 17:00 – Employer-Based Health Insurance Issues 19:00 – Why Digital Health Hasn't Fixed Healthcare 21:00 – The Technologist's Journey Through Healthcare 23:30 – How Incentives Shape Entire Systems 26:00 – Introducing the Lifespan Model 29:30 – Learning From the Life Insurance Industry 33:00 – Aligning Financial Incentives With Health 36:30 – The Role of Lifespan Agents 40:00 – Technology's Role in Preventive Health 43:00 – Building a Parallel Health System 47:00 – Challenges to Implementing the Model 51:00 – The Future of Healthcare Incentives BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg
