Navy Trauma Nurse Jab Lab Co-Owner Nikki Selby

About this video

Nikki Selby, a retired Navy nurse and owner of Jab Lab Aesthetics, discusses her 23.5-year military career and transition to civilian life. She shares her experiences working in civilian hospitals during COVID-19, describing widespread illness she attributes to obesity and poor nutrition. Selby argues that most chronic diseases are preventable through weight loss and better nutrition, and she advocates for earlier cancer screenings, particularly for colon cancer which she says is increasingly affecting younger people.

Key takeaways

• Selby argues that the healthcare system is not designed to keep people healthy and that most chronic diseases (including many cancers, diabetes, and heart disease) could be prevented through weight loss, exercise, and whole food nutrition rather than relying on medications
• Selby reports seeing a significant rise in cancer cases, particularly colon cancer in younger patients (30s and 40s), leading her to advocate for lowering the screening age to the 30s
• Selby describes the transition from military to civilian life as unexpectedly difficult, calling it a vulnerable phase where veterans struggle with identity and purpose after leaving structured military life
