Brian Sanders interviews Dr. Jaime Seeman about metabolic health, muscle, and dietary approaches for longevity.

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.
