500k views in 5 months, a lot less than other 'bigger' guests have but I must say this is one of the most WELL INFORMED, WELL RESEARCHED talks in the channel. I hope this gets the push it deserves.

[FireOElijahMC]

Thanks for the episode. It's crazy how nobody talks about a book "Health and Beauty Mastery", it's exposing a lot of industry secrets.

Dr Peter Attia has been describing my life this entire interview. 15 yrs ago I started on my own health learning journey. I went from near death and misery to full life and happiness with only diet changes.

[jameswalsh]

Another wonderful interview thanks so much. My oldest living relative was my aunt that was fit and active until she tripped over a carpet breaking her hip . Went into shock and died a week later aged 104. So my ambition is to live healthy into 100 + . Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪

Prioritising family & causes of problems has never been clearly explained! Love this conversation. Keep up the great work Jay

[Levelupwithleavitt]

I wouldn’t say it always comes from sickness or ill health. I have always been health conscious but all it took for me was having kids to really prioritize my health and get even more serious about it. I have something to live for ❤

[beerman]

It has been said quality and volume of information in a conversation such as this is all the more remarkable by being free. Generous souls here worthy of emulation. Thank you.

[sylvainhyais]

I ' m 57 and don't feel in decline, at all.
I'm much fitter, slimmer, leaner than I was at 20. Even explosive strength, I am above, doing hill sprints each week within my 50 mile a week running schedule, plus strength workout.
So I don't care the numbers and the talk of decline, training hard, eating right and feeling great all the way

[jrush]

This came up in my play list. I would not have know by his voice or his appearance that I was listening to Peter. What a change in the amount of peace that comes across now.

[GwenCreek]

I appreciate the conversation about regenerative ag, soil health and it's relationship to our health so much! The public needs to understand this so we can pressure farmers and government to change policy. We are also turning our back yard into an organic no-till garden at 7000'.

One of the best eye openings podcasts for me in the last years. He is such an awesome communicator. I could listen to him for days :) Thanks Jay for asking them so good questions! Greetings from Madrid!

[jrush]

Awesome interview. I need to listen to it again. SO much to take in. You two are amazing at calming the nerves while feeding us so much information.

[captainsukycannon]

As an adoptee from birth, I have next to no knowledge of my birth family. So it seems that I won’t have to go through the trouble of mapping my family health or worry and deciding what tests to take. I figure stress is the biggest killer so I focus on managing that.

Prioritising family & causes of problems has never been clearly explained! Love this conversation. Keep up the great work Jay 😊❤🎉

[margaretbray]

As someone who works in MRI, just be aware that doctors and radiologists will order either "without" or "with and without contrast" images. That contrast is gadolinium-based and not iodine-based like CT is. Gadolinium is also the element used and not a brand name as there are many different brands, so don't assume that all contrast is the same as each has different uses and different data sets. For example, there are a few we use in my dept called Prohance, Multihance and Eovist. Multihance is used for most scans, especially when we are focusing on the brain (think cranial nerves). Prohance is used when there is a mass, cyst, lump, possible infection in areas like the joints or a foot (think osteomyelitis). Eovist is always used when scanning the liver. Overall, the contrast is not needed for many scans (not even to r/o stroke), especially not generally needed if you have no history of cancer and your scanning for something like a tendon tear, headaches, or pain. There is a lot to MRI scans and yes, every machince is not build the same. Scanning in MRI isn't the quickest, and don't expect a "full body scan". Some can take a quickly as 15-20 (without contrast) and others can take over 45 mins. That's for scanning one part of the body; cervical, thoracic and lumbar are 3 different scans. A full body scan is unheard of with MRI, so I beg of you, don't ask. Just wanted to give people some reference so that we can all better understand the healthcare out there.
