A first on the show: a board-certified OB-GYN and nutrition specialist who practices integrative medicine. To ensure the health of women and mothers, Jamie Seeman treats lifestyle as first-line therapy. She optimizes the controllable factors like diet, exercise, and sleep, before prescribing any medicine to the patient. She was motivated to modify her outlook and lifestyle after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes and taking thyroid medication during her pregnancies.

With a large following on social media, her message on lifestyle change, women's health, and the hard-to-kill mentality and her experience as a practicing clinician on the ground drive people from all over the country to come to her for treatment.

In her book, Hard to Kill, she describes the five pillars that helped her make this lifestyle transformation. In this episode, she shares her experiences and her hard-to-kill mindset regarding diet and carbohydrate restriction, physical activity and resistance training, sound sleep habits, meditation and recovery, and the quality of one's surroundings.
