"Delivering babies daily, I'm reminded that the only guarantees in life are death and taxes. So, I live each day with gratitude, understanding life's fragility." – Dr Jamie Seeman

"People watched me transform, but when I shared my low-carb, ketogenic, carnivore approach, they thought it was crazy and extreme. It's funny how perceptions change when results speak for themselves." – Dr Jamie Seeman

"Changing the internal language about who I was, was crucial. Fit and Fabulous became my new brand. It's not selfish to figure it out for yourself and carve out space for your well-being." – Dr Jamie Seeman

Conclusion:

Taking care of our health is a personal journey. We should prioritize self-care without feeling guilty and understand our bodies to feel empowered. To make real changes, we need to address all aspects of our well-being, not just diet and exercise. It also means making conscious choices about our environment. In a society with high expectations, it's important to redefine what being "healthy" really means. Our transformations can inspire and benefit others, not just ourselves.
