Peak Human - Unbiased Nutrition Info for Optimum Health, Fitness & Living

Brian welcomes Ann Bennett, creator behind Simply Unconventional, who started her health journey after hearing a Peak Human episode on seed oils. Ann describes cleaning up her family's diet and home, switching to raw milk and local meat, and seeing colds, stomach bugs, chronic sinus issues, and her sons' severe asthma disappear. That success led her husband to rethink their farm, slowly transitioning from heavy chemical spraying to regenerative practices that helped their crop survive extreme heat and drought.
She shares how, despite doing "everything right," she was still exhausted, irritable, and holding onto stubborn belly fat until Coach Chris Kruger's natural hormone optimization method showed her that going too low carb was part of the problem. Adding back whole-food carbs like potatoes, rice, and sourdough helped both her and her husband finally lose the belly fat. The conversation also covers rancid store-bought pecans, why "eat less, move more" fails women, the limits of conventional blood work, HRT vs. natural optimization, the Beast, Feast, Fast, Sleep framework, and a first look at Brian's upcoming book, The New Theory of Food.

Brian introduces Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, which grew from efforts to label GMOs into a national nonprofit focused on reducing pesticide and toxin exposure through education and extensive testing that has found glyphosate in items including tap water, urine, breast milk, foods, and other products. Honeycutt describes launching a legislative arm (Moms Across America Movement/"Yes Ma'am") to promote health-focused policy, discusses MAHA-era progress and perceived corporate pushback, and urges contacting representatives via calls, email, visits, and X. She shares outcomes from switching to organic, including a story of a child's mental health improving, and recounts her son's strict organic veganism, subsequent nutrient/toxin findings (including thallium, mycotoxins, DDT), and suicide, informing proposed newborn genetic disclosure and EPA reforms. The conversation also covers EMFs, vaccine safety, microplastics, and major concerns about data centers' noise, energy, and water impacts.

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. They discuss scaling Food Is Medicine through insurance, bridging it with regenerative sourcing, planned nutrient-density testing, and Erin's shift from veganism to eating beef, bone broth, and marrow.

Brian interviews Calley Means from HHS about the Trump administration and Secretary Kennedy's push to address chronic disease by focusing on root causes like food and reforming scientific agencies. He describes entrenched incentives in healthcare and government, updates on dietary guidelines and a revised food pyramid emphasizing protein, fruits, vegetables, and reduced ultra-processed foods, and discusses efforts to redefine "ultra-processed" foods. He addresses controversy around glyphosate, explaining farmers' concerns about sudden bans disrupting agriculture, and highlights commitments and incentives for regenerative agriculture. They cover policies to remove soda, candy, and other ultra-processed items from SNAP, changes in school, hospital, and military food procurement, and mention work with outside partners on tools to help Americans make healthier choices.

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.
