Who Is Dr. Peter Attia?

Dr. Peter Attia is a physician focusing on the applied science of longevity. His practice deals extensively with nutritional interventions, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, emotional and mental health, and pharmacology to increase lifespan (delay the onset of chronic disease) while simultaneously improving healthspan (quality of life).

Lifespan vs. Healthspan

Let’s talk a little bit about the difference between lifespan and healthspan because there’s a really key distinction between them. Our lifespan is the amount of time we live, and it is steadily growing longer. We’re living to reach older and older ages than ever before, which is great.

The Big Three Chronic Diseases and What We Can Do About Them

When it comes to chronic and life-threatening diseases, Dr. Peter said it comes down to three major things:

Your Sleep Matters

When it comes to reversing the effects of Type 2 diabetes and preventing further chronic health problems, sleep is essential. It turns out that our bodies perform a lot of glucose disposal when we sleep, so sleep is incredibly important for preventing glucose from building up in our bloodstreams.

How to Be a Kick-Ass 100-Year-Old

Aside from preventing chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, how can we extend our healthspans to become, as Dr. Peter put it, “kick-ass 100-year-olds?” to do just that, Dr. Peter structures his exercise around four main pillars:

Who is Dr Rick?

Rick is a professor of medicine in the Department of Nephrology at the University of Colorado since 2008 and he’s spent the last 17 years being a division chief across three very prestigious medical schools. An unbelievably prolific author, Rick has well over 700 publications in JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, et Cetera. He’s lectured across 40 countries, authored two books, including The Fat Switch, and has been funded extensively by the National Institute of Health (NIH). His primary focus in research has been on the mechanisms causing kidney disease, but it was in doing this that he became really interested in the connection between fructose (and fructose metabolism) and obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and metabolic disease.

What is Rick's relationship with salt?

Rick begins by talking about the relationship between salt and high blood pressure, then provides a masterclass into uric acid, and then expertly reveals the mechanisms and pathways by which sugar (specifically fructose) can profoundly impact metabolic health.

Why we built this website

What started as a small, weekly email to a handful of friends in 2010 quickly grew into a far larger mailing list including friends of friends, and eventually complete strangers. In 2011 I started sharing what I was learning on my old blog at EatingAcademy.com.

New to this, or just getting started?

If you’re new to the field of longevity, you’re in the right place. The best way to learn about the science, start to understand how you can optimize your own life, and stay up to date with the latest research is to subscribe to my newsletter, and listen to my podcast.

Listen to my podcast

I created the podcast because I found myself having in-depth conversations with experts from a variety of fields that I wished I could share with others.

Looking for more information about a specific topic?

I’ve written and interviewed experts about topics I get asked about a lot. These include exercise, nutrition, metabolic disease, ketosis, cholesterol, lipidology, and more. If you’re interested in a topic and want to learn (a lot) more, you can dive straight in.

What people are saying

Peter happens to be one of the most interesting people I’ve ever heard. Since listening to him on Joe Rogan podcast, and subscribing to his newsletter, I’ve never once been disappointed or bored with his Content. I look forward to this podcast to being just like everything else he does, precise, informative, and most of all not lame.
