    GMOs, Toxins, and the Fight for Real Food with Zen Honeycutt

    08/07/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    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.

    Prevention Over Prescriptions, Simple Health Pillars, and Incentives for Longevity

    06/05/2026 | 40 mins.
    Brian introduces Dr. Kwadwo, author of "Prevention Over Prescriptions," focused on keeping people out of the acute-care system by reversing metabolic syndrome through lifestyle. Dr. K discusses gaps in nutrition training and time constraints in clinical care, his next book "Opportunities in Healthcare" on fixing failing systems with prevention and AI/health tech, and ideas to incentivize health using process-based metrics (steps, gym attendance, wearables) rather than only outcomes. Brian shares the Lifespan Project and upcoming Austin Lifespan Summit, proposing a parallel model where "lifespan agents" are paid to keep people healthy using data-driven markers. They align on keeping health simple (PRESS: purpose, restoration, eating, strength, social), avoiding biohacking complexity, prioritizing protein, fiber, time-restricted eating, and minimizing ultra-processed foods.

    Food Is Medicine Policy, Fresh RX Oklahoma, and Regenerative Agriculture with Erin Martin

    06/05/2026 | 1h
    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.

    Reforming America's Food and Health System: A Deep Dive with Calley Means

    21/04/2026 | 54 mins.
    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.

    How to Be Hard to Kill: Metabolic Health, Muscle, and the Truth About Diets with Dr. Jaime Seeman

    12/03/2026 | 56 mins.
    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.
