Dr. Peter Attia: Exercise, Nutrition, Hormones for Vitality & Longevity

My guest this episode is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., who trained at Stanford University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospital and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Attia is host of The Drive podcast and is a world expert on behavioral approaches, nutritional interventions, supplementation and pharmacological techniques to improve lifespan, healthspan and athletic performance. We discuss how best to evaluate your health status using routine blood work, body scans and regular tests of physical strength and endurance. Dr. Attia explains what he uses with his patients to “back-cast” their health goals as a way to design their exercise and nutritional programs. We also discuss hormone modulation and replacement therapy for both men and women. We explain how cholesterol and related factors contribute to cardiovascular disease risk and how to monitor and mitigate that risk. Dr. Attia details various supplementation, nutrition, exercise and prescription approaches useful to people in every decade of life to improve vitality, reduce their risk of disease and increase the number of years sustaining peak cognitive and physical health.

This is probably the most valuable podcast channel that exists

[dubz]

Why can't we find Doctors like this in the real world? In my experience, as soon as you bring information like this to most primary care doctors, it's like you are speaking a completely different language. Thankful for these two, I have learned so much from both of them ever since they went on JRE.

"Exercise is king, nutrition is queen. Together, you have a kingdom" - Jack LaLanne, Thank you for a GREAT episode!

[kirstenwhite]

Please please please do a full podcast on peri-menopause and menopause... Dr Lisa Mosconi is doing some amazing work on the impact of menopause and it's impact in the brain... we need a Huberman deep-dive on this area... please!

[winbalingit]

As a 55 year old female, Thank you!!!🙏🏽❤️ Menopausal issues are rarely addressed!!😔

[JeffNixonComedy]

These podcasts make highway driving a breeze. It’s weird arriving to a place with a fresh 2 hours of knowledge. I never seem to arrive at a place where folks want to hear about science and health, though haha

[ril]

We are so lucky to have access to this free information. Thank you so much

[jengirlpa]

Dr. Peter Attia, MD, hit the nail on the head when talking about biggest screw-up in the medical field of all time- the Women’s Health Initiative debacle! Amen! Thank you for recognizing this.

[ariromo]

Would love an episode on periods, cycles, pms, menopause. ALL OF IT. I feel a lot of your listeners would appreciate it. I know I would ❤

[carlaharmon]

As a 60 year old woman this is the best program I've viewed on YouTube. Peter Attia is a bad dude. You two are the only reason I would view a YT video for 3hrs. That was AMAZING!

[chad.williamson]

Love Peter Attia. I wish every physician had such a desire for knowledge and truth.

“The gravity of aging is more vicious than people realize.” hits real hard.

[Salih.EduBlock]

This is the super bowl of podcasting. Health, fitness, & longevity.

Awesome topic. My father in law whom passed away two years ago at age of 96 was active in whole life doing simple stretch exercise every day. His passing was even more interesting than his living. It only took one week in hospital and his long gave up. He went in total peace. I learned a lot from him. as 57 years old man with diabetes type 2 I keep myself active with walking, biking and after listening to you and Dr Attia add Bowflex to my arsenal. It’s amazing how strength training effects my blood sugar. It shows immediately on my CGM. Thanks all of you for bringing this valuable knowledge at zero cost to us. I personally appreciate it a lot.

[Highintensityhealth]

This episode was beyond brilliant! I sincerely hope ‘Attia’s Rule’ goes viral. Excellent work, Rob and Andrew!

[ryancxe]

Thank you Dr Huberman for blessing me with your wisdom everyday, you are truly an exceptional person

[catthompson]

This was awesome! So I am 56 and on bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and dhea. The estrogen is in a patch the rest are oral (troche). This therapy has changed my life. I had horrible brain fog, hot flashes, etc. when I did research on what happens to women going through menopause, I was horrified. Everything from cardiovascular to brain problems (which hot flashes are a symptom of. My general doctor told me that getting older sucks and there was nothing that could be done. I found a functional doctor who works with hormone replacement and life got better. This information needs to be discussed. Women need to know what treatments are out there. As it is, I’m looking at a future where I can stay viable in my career for longer.

Dear Andrew, bless your brilliant heart and thank you for listening to women's requests and bringing up female hormone therapy regarding perimenopause and the whole menopause process!!!

[alyssarikka]

I can't believe this is free on this platform. Thank you Dr Hubermanlab and Dr Attia. I've been following you for years now. :)

[PoetOnTheRun]

Two genuis men educating the masses without being condescending or verbose. This is one of the best.
