Profile Dr. Peter Attia

The awesome Dr. Peter Attia has emerged as on of the most important voices in the longevity and geroscience arena. I’m a huge fan of his work and you’ll hear me parroting much of his advice. I primarily like him because he’s so darn level headed. He doesn’t get out over his skis with exaggerated claims and he isn’t trying to sell you dodgy heath supplements. He looks deeply at the evidence and lays out exactly what he finds. No less, no more. 

• Sleep, Mind, & Social: Prioritizes high-quality sleep, emphasizes the importance of emotional health, and  deeply engaged in continuous learning
• Exercise: An exercise fanatic with extensively tested routines he is continually honing. Exercises just about every day.
• Diet: He’s cagey on nutritional advice but eats a high-protein diet and often restricts his eating to a six-hour window a day.
• Vices: Drinks alcohol with moderaton
• Metrics: Known for his scientific rigor, Attia closely tracks biomarkers such as VO2 max, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels, and advocates for regular testing to measure and optimize health.
• Cosmetic: None. He joked on one podcast about how his wife can’t get him to even use any face products. He does, however, use sunscreen regularly.
• Supplements: A comprehensive supplement regimen including Omega-3 fish oil, various forms of magnesium, vitamin D, and others like AG1 for overall nutrient support.
• Experimental Treatments: NAD, NMN, NR, rapamycin

My Take: 

Dr. Attia is a hardcore data workhorse. He delves into the science and then applies it to his own life. He’s too young to see how well this works for him yet, but I’ll wager he’ll hit 80 in far better shape than 99% of his contemporaries. 

Takeaways for You: 

Read his book and keep your longevity efforts grounding in the time-tested fundamentals and not unproven trendy fads.
