    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).
    In addition to training at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Attia also spent two years at the National Institutes of Health as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute, where his research focused on immune-based therapies for melanoma. He has since been mentored by some of the most experienced and innovative lipidologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, sleep physiologists, and longevity scientists in the United States and Canada.
    Dr. Attia earned his M.D. from Stanford University and holds a B.Sc. in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics. He also receives speaking honorariums from organizations, including hospitals and health-related businesses, when he is asked to speak on longevity, metabolic-related topics, athletic performance, and his personal experience.
    In addition to being an accomplished physician, Dr. Attia is also a successful businessman. He is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the fasting app Zero. Additionally, Dr. Attia is an advisor to, and/or investor in, the companies Virta Health, Hu Kitchen, Oura Health Oy, Magic Spoon Cereal, Inevitable Ventures, Salutoceuticals, Dexcom, Kia Hawaii, and Supercast.
    Dr. Peter Attia has an impressive career, but he’s an even more impressive person in real life! I’m so grateful to him for taking the time to join me here on The School of Greatness! I really think you’re going to learn a lot from this interview. If you’re ready to learn how to live to be over 100 and prevent chronic diseases, join me on Episode 1,045 with Dr. Peter Attia!

      Thank you for asking. Peter is an amazing resource that has important things to say about longevity that no one else is talking about.
      1. Cognitive
      2. Physical
      3. Mental / Emotional
      Top Chronic Diseases
      1. Heart, Stroke
      2. Cancer
      3. Neuro Degenerative - Alzhiemers
      4. At the base of these 3 diseases is Type 2 Diabetes
      Reversing Diabetes
      1. Intake of Carbs
      2. Not enough muscle or mitochondria in the muscle are inefficient. (I would like to know how to increase efficiency)
      3. Sleep disturbance
      4. Stress - effect on cortisol - effect on glucose (or is it insulin)
      To overcome stress - we need to undertake a personalize course - coaching / therapy to build emotional resistance. What we need to focus on is different for each of us.
      Comment to you - Peter was going to do a summary of what to focus on to achieve longevity. He was starting with food and then exercise. You questions caused him to go deeper and deeper into food. Even I knew the answers to this questions, they were basic about food. Bringing him back to exercise and then the other top things to focus on for longevity would have kept us to the objectivity of this video. (The fact that I was able to take good notes indicates you kept him on track the rest of the time - or Peter has great speaking structure.)
      Finally the piece that was missing to me about emotional resilience is the removal of negative emotional energy from the cells of our body. When we do this, making the cognitive changes that Peter was talking about become so much easier.
      Not doing this is perhaps why he finds himself in therapy 4 hours a week. There is often energy we need to eliminate before we add different thinking and less repetitive thinking.
      Thanks for hosting a great interview. I look forward to more.

    My mother was 95 when she passed. She was the most "positive thinking" person i had ever met. In spite of her debilitating back pain and her complaint of beginning to lose her short term memory, she NEVER complained. She simply would move her mind into life's positives. She laughed often and enjoyed a couple shots of good scotch every late afternoon and loved to sing. An impressively good singer to everyone's amazement. I learned from her that anyone can improve the quality of life by lifting one's attitude, outlook, and love of life.

    Lewis, so nice to listen to your programs. I retired as a physician about 16 years ago after a practice of over 45 years. I am in my 93rd year. After retirement I am doing daily exercise, first started with stationary bike. During my active years I used tread mill off and on. Since my retirement, apart from walking, I do my exercises in the bath room. I bend and touch my feet 30 times while the hot water is running on my back specially on the area which is a sore spot. I do 100 partial sit ups, 50 flexion and extension of the hips followed by 30 abduction and adduction of each thigh while really very hot water is running on those areas, followed by completely cold water shower (done cold water showers since my medical school days 70 years ago) and then I do 30 pushbacks on an open frame of the bathroom door! So now I have used this hot and cold showers for years. Now I see people using hot and cold sauna. I have no problem in walking. Over all I am doing pretty good!

My nerves shut down. My friends helped. I started to walk, and in the water. Even acupuncture. Back to the gym after a few months. My nurse said it is ok to have some cake or sweets once in awhile.

    By far, the most important thing you can do is cut way back on sugar. And remember, starch is sugar too. Anything with carbs on the label (minus fiber) equals sugar. People need to get this. Starch breaks down into glucose once in the body. In fact, starch is nothing but long chains of glucose. Starch is how plants store sugar for later. In animals, it's called glycogen. Pasta is sugar, rice is sugar, etc. It's all sugar, folks. It all adds up.
    For the vast majority of humanity, carbohydrate is a non-essential macronutrient. The exception is people with Type 1 or some rare glycogen storage disease. In everyone else, the body doesn't need dietary carbohydrate since the liver can produce glucose from protein. Despite what some groups say (read: militant vegans) this is a perfectly normal, natural state for an adult to be in. Some groups, like the Inuit, spent most of their lives in this state with no ill effects. This state is *not* ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is something completely different. Since carb is non-essential, eating it to excess is not a great idea. Note that there is a difference between, say, broccoli and poptarts.
    Complex carbs are fine; it's hard to eat a lot of it in one sitting. But refined sugar is basically a slow acting toxin that will damage your nerves, organs and general metabolism over time. If this

    sooo funny I was JUST thinking about this a few minutes ago. I had recently read some articles on the subject of centenarians and how they managed it. SO FASCINATING, I had noticed TWO different factors emerging really consistently. One, GOOD ATTITUDE. Most subjects responded with a sense of humor, eagerness or positivity in their experience of life. They wer every high-energy (like myself). "Never give up, ever." was a common sort of quote. Two, INDIVIDUALITY. The other major overarching trait I noticed in the respondents were that they all had a kind of quirky response, interest or passion in enjoying life no matter what. A lot of comments to the effect of "I always took time out for myself at least an hour a day no matter what" Or "I walked two hours a day every day, I never owned a car." or "Find your own way in life and love what you do regardless of others' opinions." That sort of thing. Youll hear very little bitterness, regret or laziness with these people.

It covers every stage and most difficulties than we encounter throughout our lives. Well done!!!

    Paramedic/RN for 36 years and have seen more death than people in a war zone. I'll tell you off the bat, fat people die young, stupid people die young, smokers die young, heavy drinkers die young, sedate people die young, drug abusers die young, and the mentally weak die young. If you enjoy life you need to make certain sacrifices to get the extra healthy years added. And those people tend to have rational thoughts. The I'd rather burnout than fadeout has its price tag.

      Don't be a fanatic about not eating sugar or sweets. You'll deprive yourself of happiness because you will be denying yourself what you love which makes no sense. In moderation you can enjoy many delicious pies and cookies. I like chocolate chips and pecan coconut cookies and German chocolate cake and much more. My weight is better than average for my height and age. I also love Cold Stone Creamery Ice cream and sometime Ben & Jerry's. I'm very healthy but I only eat in moderation and if I indulge a bit too much at times then I burn off those calories via exercise. The key to being able to enjoy more sweets is taking nutritional supplements to strengthen your arteries and other vital organs and exercising often enough...staying active. Couch potatoes or people with sluggish metabolisms can't afford the luxury of eating too many sweets.

And can hit the bag 3 minutes straight. I use "Precision Sriking". Great for the lockdowns. So in better shape than those half my age. Many who are very obese. I have the type 2. But in control with meds and the exercise. Also, have found that all this exercise has increased my blood flow. (If you know what I mean). However, heavy depression. Isolating. Lost some joy. Lost some friends just for polite political opinions. I use to practice my classic piano. And don't read or study like I use to. But don't want a shrinks pill. I get vet. disability for ptsd.

My pursuit of a high quality life led me to become a life coach. My mission is to uplift humanity by bringing more freedom, fun and fulfillment to life. For those who have a stigma attached to seeing a therapist or who just feel you don’t want one, a life coach can have the same positive impact.

    Peter I love this show. I do have to argue with you about some things. All my life I have had about 3 - 4 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky. As I grew up I found I needed less sleep. My childhood lack of sleep helped me going forward. I got married when I was pretty young. When my first child was born it helped that I didn`t need a lot of sleep. Most of my life I have worked 2 jobs both 8 houtrs. 8 at night and 8 during the day. At that point I had 2 kids that I had to look after as well. After coming home from work, cooking supper, baths for my kids, reading to them before bed and what was left was 2 hours to sleep before I went back to work for the night. I still sleep 3 - 4 hours a night and I am up at 5 am to start my day. Before COVID I was at the gym running on the treadmill for 1.45 hours plus doing weights. I am not young but I don`t feel old. My put it down to the fact that I am always moving. The only time I sit is if I am eating on sitting on my computer. Other than that I am moving. My phone tells me some days I have done 1650 steps and that is inmy home. I am the person with a very healthy 88 year old mum who overcame dementia. I also believe it is because I don`t put any pills inside me. I lead a pretty healthy life. I am also an addiction`s counselor. I started smoking when I was 16. smoked for a lot of years. My dad asked me to try and quit when he was dying. The following year I did quit. I was smoking up to 3 packs a day. I walked away from it after having my last smoke. Stayed away from smoking for 18 years. Went back to smoking to prove a point. Smoked for 2 years and again to prove a point that addictions are not real I gave up smoking by walking away from it again. I am not a super person, just a very strong willed person who loves a challenge. I love it because my children have taken after me. My son was the one who beat diabetes.

    Really enjoyed this video. Just wanted to mention....My grandmother is consciously hanging on despite strokes for awhile now. Because she knows life is precious even if she is not able to do the things she once loved. She appreciates life perhaps more than ever before. She appreciates being able to see her grandchildren and the birds in the trees. She can't say much, but she can still say "I love you". Human fears about life changes are not the final word.

He was not only informative from a scientific perspective about individual health, prevention, and chronic disease but very upfront about the importance of mental, emotional, and behavioral health. As a public health professional, I love it when medical doctors recognize the mind-body connection in the overall quality of life. I also really appreciate his authenticity with his own personal struggles with mental and emotional health. Thanks, Lewis - really great and I will be following him on his podcast. 😀💜💙💚

Stay slim, I run, bike, horseback ride, swim, dance and have a race with my children [ late 50's] occasionally for fun. I still win. LOL Unfortunately they don't follow the 'secret' that was passed on. [Personally, small amount of meat about 3 or 4 times a week.] Think mind set is important too. I feel if there is something to worry about, do it, take care of it. If you can do nothing about it, forget it. Life is short if you are upset about things you can do nothing about!
