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.

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

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. 02:55 Meeting at Sovereignty Ranch 04:37 Erin's Early Gerontology Path 07:15 Regenerative Ag and Hope 08:31 Aging in Italy vs US 12:44 Myths of Aging and Genetics 17:37 Fresh RX in Oklahoma 22:15 Insurance and Policy Momentum 28:32 Bridging Food and Regeneration 31:33 Sourcing Standards Gap 32:13 Accountable FIM Act 34:04 Hill Briefing Explained 34:46 Three Program Types 35:58 Measuring Food Quality 37:09 Nutrient Density Testing 39:36 Meat Dairy Debate 41:01 Aging Protein Myths 43:18 Keto Meets FIM 51:13 Fermented Feed Beef 54:06 Older Adults Can Change 58:25 Leaving Veganism Benefits

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

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.

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

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

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

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, Anil, 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, Anil 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.
