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.Quick Guide:1:05 Introduction 05:21 What are functional and integrative medicine? 09:25 The connection of obstetricians and gynecology to diet 18:16 The right amount of protein for the body 27:21 The pillars of Hard to Kill mentality 38:59 How ketones and magnesium help in cyclic migraines 43:19 Ketogenic diet for menopausal women 45:23 Kickstarting metabolism at 40 47:10 Dealing with hair thinning and hair loss 50:01 Her day-to-day practice as an OB-GYN 52:05 Contacts and closingGet to know our guest:Prior to studying medicine, Dr. Jaime Seeman earned a degree on nutrition and exercise science. As a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, she has a strong interest in preventative healthcare."I want to live the biggest, fullest, most amazing life I can. And I don't want to spend the last 10 years of my life in and out of doctors' offices and hospitals and taking a bunch of drugs. And so, it's really having this mentality of what are the things that are gonna kill me? And how can I prevent those things? And you know what, when it's my time, I've lived an amazing life." - Jaime SeemanConnect with her:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorfitandfabulous/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorfitandfab/Website: www.doctorfitandfabulous.comEpisode snippets:06:07 - 08:03 - An integrative OBGYN checks what contributes to the disease process 11:49 - 12:28 - The impact of a healthy pregnancy 16:27 - 17:48 - To have as much muscle as you can across your lifetime 19:54 - 20:45 - Eat adequate protein and fats 28:06 - 29:34 - The 5 pillars of Hard to Kill mentality 32:25 - 33:53 - Do resistance training 45:52 - 46:56 - Focus on building your muscle even in your 40sConnect with Dr. Ovadia:TwitteriFixHearts WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table WebsiteAmazon Theme Song : Rage AgainstWritten & Performed by Logan Gritton & Colin Gailey(c) 2016 Mercury Retro RecordingsProduced by 38atoms & Jack Heald
