Outstanding episode! I could listen to Dr. Attia for hours a day. I do my best to watch all his podcasts/videos. He is brilliant, blessed and a gifted speaker. ❤️❤️🙏
At 73, I can still bench press 100 lb dumbbells for multiple reps and sets. I need to look at my VO2 max. ( I've been training in the gym now for about 48 years) Thank you for sharing !!!
Dr. Attia is one of the smartest doctors I have listened to. He knows an AMAZING amount about longevity factors, and everything he says is golden. I learned a lot from this interview!
At 70 having targeted all the things that Peter talks about in my life I have come to realize the first step to life quality is to accept what is love what is live in the present. Yes change the things you can first exercise diet sleep but peace of mind and joy in your life is the ultimate goal that improves quality if life. On the physical side targeting protein intermittent fasting and cutting refined starches as much as possible has made a bigger impact on my health than exercise.

Absolutely agree, listening to others that he's been on and haven't been able to make passed 20-30 minute mark before I have to shut it off, and he's someone I could listen to for 3 plus hours every day with the right host.
In know Peter won’t read this because it’s so much after the interview, but neurofeedback completely changed my life. I had a lot of developmental trauma and struggled with a lot of what he describes in his book.
I'm 65 and realized that suddenly, I had difficulty squatting, getting on the floor, and then getting up! I walk every day but still need to do muscle strengthening. Thank you Peter!
Absolutely brilliant thank you to Peter and the very down-to-earth Jade and Damian ...massive thank you ...awesome!!!!Will defo be tuning back into your channel
I've heard quite a bit of Peter's talks and this by far has the perfect level of technicality and aptly relevant topics for almost anyone who is looking to lead a healthy life. The stream of questioning was spot on. Just underlines the importance of asking right questions to extract nuggets of wisdom from an expert.
I am now 73 and up to 5 years ago, I had virtually no health problems. Since then I had platelet therapy to fix a tennis elbow, physical therapy to fix a shoulder and physical therapy (2 times) to fix a hip/lower back that still is not fixed. If you hang around people over 65, you will find a high percentage of people dealing with persistent joint pain, even after help from the medical community. My most recent physical therapist told me that I had full range of motion so, although I was in pain, all she could recommend is to do a set of exercise for a year and that might help. Dr. Attia Outlive book would be a lot different book, if he were 65.
I am 68 and over the last 5 years have gone from crippled, to a compeditive CrossFitter at a country level through diet and exercise. People become incapacitated as they age because of a lifetime if following the advice of drug companies handed out via the misinformed medical establishment. I had to do the opposite to all medical advice and re-educate myself via the likes of Peter. All my health markers are now spot on. Basically if we follow medical advice and it does not work it is wrong advice.
@brucehafemeister5663 check out knees over toes guy and the work he is doing on reversing out pain and restoring full range of motion. It's outstanding for individuals of all age brackets but particularly over 65
My grandparents ate really fatty foods, but homecooked and from good healthy sources, they drank beer and schnapps, one smoked, ate cakes, worked a lot physically and both lived beyond 90.
I’m a 60 year old who has done recently several “thru-hikes) while light smoking and moderate drinking a few days a week. Genes can overcome several things. If we’re not sedentary as we age, the chances that good genes can overcome tobacco use or moderate alcohol intake increases substantially with exercise. However, gambling on our genes to clear out a toxin such as alcohol is probably an unwise bet that I am doing, as well, as smoking. Playing it safe is the way. Zero alcohol and no tobacco. But to answer your question a person of general good healthy can drink, in most cases, 2 🍻 or a 1 1 glass of🍷a few days a week. That’s what most research 🔬 is currently telling.
Researchers now say that one glass of alcohol shows signs of abuse in the brain already. Old age alone cannot be an indication of health I'd submit. Best thing the way I see it is to find out if life as such (without any man made additives) does not bring best results all round. It takes a bit of a new approach however. Having said that a treat now and again should not interfere too much.
@@fussypeg8561 "Researchers now say that one glass of alcohol shows signs of abuse in the brain already." The "abuse" is tiny and completely recovers the day one doesn't drink. What is clearly bad is long- term alcohol abuse
I am a regular listener to PA’s Drive podcast. It is excellent. From diet to zone training to his general thoughts, everything is logical and well thought out. One can relate to him easily. This is a superb episode. Hopefully PA did not get into too much trouble with his wife for speaking almost 2 hours on this podcast.
@@TheTechNiShandid you read Petter Atia ,s book ? Then you will understand.Peter used to be a workaholic and had little time spent with his family. Now he switched from working too much and now he spends more time with his family. So now ,maybe you understand why the person mentioned Peter's wife.
Too bad Peter is a pharma shill. Take your statin that promotes diabetes and dementia oh and it promotes calcium buildup. No thanks pharma shill. If you aren’t sick go see your doctor. They’ll fix that for you and give you a bunch of meds to take to “fix” it. Yeah I took the statin for 20 years. Didn’t help me at all. Statins are 100% Malpractice!
What he said at 38:15 hit home. I've trained my whole life (past competitor) and i've come to a point where I don't know what the point is anymore. I need to find a new objective. Ty ❤️
Sames..I feel ya. Ran track in college. Then trained for bodybuilding and powerlifting for over 15 years....then got into cycling races the last 10 years. Now I'm done with all that and that level or interest in training like that. Trying to find balance now as I age older
excercise and eat well.... got it, jking great interview but it's amazing how much we see the basics sliced and diced today and what it all boils down too.

I’m 71, and discovered a hypnosis video for weight loss and mindful eating this summer. I am now back to 135 which is within 20 pounds of what I weighed when I graduated high school. My whole approach to food has improved immensely in that I simply don’t want as much and I don’t crave empty calories. Amazingly easy and effective for me!!!!!
Thank you Cindie for your post but could you also share the name of this hypnosis video for weight loss that you got such great help from. I'm 69 and don't want another year to go by without reaching my good weight which is about 30 to 40 lbs. less than I weigh now. I've tried many things but would really appreciate something to improve my efforts. Thanks for sharing, Alfredo
For some reason, after being a food critic for 14 years I am no longer hungry. Had it, did it and now I like only the most simple of home made food. No sugar. :)
It's very unfortunate that my husband doesn't care or wants to know ,he already is on high blood pressure tablets ,he is totally disengaged @ home ,our world is not ,he hates me listening & knowing all this & this is my profession. What is an answer here ? 😢total change? Thank you so much Dr Peter Atia ,so many people l speak to all women more listen to you & care . Thank you ,but my emotional life in partnership is very stressful. Thank you all & Peter Atia .M Australia.
Most of the dopamine is gained from sourcing your fix. If you have to spend 30 minutes to get your fix, dopamine is through the roof. The addiction is made worse. The actual eating the junk doesn't give much dopamine. I had some alcoholics live with me, when they were getting the alcohol they were so happy, as soon as they started drinking they were miserable. It's a battle, until you get to a place where you just don't want to buy the junk.
What about the strategy of calorie restriction through feeling more satisfied either because you use food that occupies greater volume (more water more fiber) or because you find your personal food choices that can absolutely make you satisfied (even if they're not the healthiest) and are less likely to be overeaten???
Regarding how Zone2 can be measured by perceived exertion (heart rate = 180 - age) and Regarding how Grip-Strength and Vo2Max integrates healthy lifestyle elements.. where Vo2Max declines 10% by decade and top athletes have a score of 85, healthy fit 53, healthy centenarians' V02max is above 30, and below 20 is hard to walk 2mph or climb stairs.. What if one has a high grip-strength but low Vo2Max.. or vice-versa.. which has a stronger influence on all-cause-mortality? Regarding cold city water in London to activate the parasympathetic/vagus nerve.. I found during the winter that the water supply on the east-coast of the U.S. to be freezing compared to the west-coast! I like the idea of a dedicated burner phone for podcasts, gps, and watch only!
Peter is certainly insightful but I think beyond calories, even in a slight surplus, the greater regulator for metabolic health is how that energy is utilized which is regulated by metabolic health of a person. A prime example is in the case of obesity, it’s far beyond calories, again, even in a surplus.
If you have two very big foes standing in front of you... (then) you should expect to do a little work to get out of the way.🎉 BRILLIANT! Why, cognition beats primitive "will power" over your "urges". BAM!
I wish Dr. Attia or someone would develop a comprehensive, noninvasive test that he could say, "put away your supplements for 30 days, take the comprehensive test, and THEN we'll figure out what you really need."
D3/k2. Quercitin/zinc/NAC/ vitamin C L-citrilline. These help the immune system, inflammation and nitric oxide production. Also as much nose breathing as possible.
Interesting that all the goals Dr Attia enumerates, 4 flights of stairs, carrying 20lb, etc I find perfectly reasonable for myself, presently 66 yr old woman.
simple solution: 1. eat carnivore. 2. check vitamin ( D3, B12, etc. ) levels and supplement to get to the highest range of normal. 3. once you start feeling good, start a workout routine.
Carnivore is not a "simple" solution. It's a very difficult lifestyle for a lot of people and there is effectively no long term research that indicates carnivore is good for longevity. The fact that it seems to raise LDL-C/ApoB drastically in some people and the lack of dietary fiber are not exactly in step with the current longevity research.
Nothing could be easier than eating Carnivore especially in the days of mail order food and Dollar Stores on every corner even in food deserts. Try eating nothing but frozen, grass fed hamburger patties, bacon, eggs and butter for 3 months. If you’re forced to eat out, get a plain triple quarter pounder from McD’s or Baconator from Wendy’s for $10 and peel the bun off. Don’t get the fries and sugary drinks that make the meal cost $12. For one thing, you’ll find that the need for fiber is a myth. Fiber is utterly waste that creates big, squishy, sticky poop. Eating animal foods only creates perfect poop that falls out and requires at best, one wipe. To me, that’s proof that humans evolved as carnivores with only rare vegetable matter, fruits or sugars. Then civilizations began starving and farming.
One of the many helps for me was fasting. Doing one day. or 2 days. To set the stage for mental gymnastics to not eat things when it's in front of you. That's what i recommend. Then i recommend high fat natural snacks. Ice cream, as plain as possible. High in fat. Then add more cream to it. You will not gain jumbo weight. you will probably loose some as it signals fullness better than a brownie. Or potato chips., those will never say you're full. Ever. Maybe after two bags worth.

It’s taken me a long time to realise (as Peter says), it’s fat loss I’m after with increased muscle mass and not weight loss. I can see muscle growth in obvious areas like arms and legs. How can you measure the amount of muscle mass?
I made my self very lightweight. Many people think it is sick. But that is where body builders start - with low fat percentage. Why they are not called names? Those hecklers are usually people having more fat percentage and they tend to take some kind of authority in normal life situations like using their profession as to earn the right to make statements. For example my doctor wrote on her paper "anorexic" having her self 40% of fat looks. And I weighed 110kg and it was enough to mention her that I'm gonna lose weight for her write down words like "anorexic". I tried of course to change that doctor but she was the chief doctor of our muncipal so you know what are you dealing with. It is almost illegal lose weight for good here in Finland. Only "biggest loser"-methods are allowed i.e low fat - high sugar - get weight back. But we luckily know already better and want to keep it away too so solid life style change is needed too. Starting with ketogenic diet and rolling healthy diets around intermittent fasting will make it happen. I had no tendency to build any muscle even when weighing 110kg/220lbs so I deduced that in reality my build is slender and I can enjoy all the benefits of being light weight. One of those benefits is to not get exhausted stepping up stairs or climbing hills. Overall mobility is also very much different when fat leaves vertebrae. So my fat percentage went down from 35% to 9% and visceral measurement went from 15 to 1 on Omron Karada. Morning blood sugar is around 4.0 mmol/l and during the day it climbs to 5.0 even if noting is eaten. That tells me kidneys and liver are making very actively sugar(gluconeogenesis). If you compare 110kg person to same person as 65kg he is very different beast because at metabolic level there is excess of everything where as there used to be scarcity of everything.
Dr, lustig can walk you through the cellular process and pro/cons of sugar. What it does to the brain vs body. Similar thread for fake sugars. Tell you brain you received drugs when they are not processed the same. Very different. I highly recommend "Sugar the bitter truth" it was the first video i ever watched that made lots of sense and got me to change forever.
What makes Peter Attia the world's #1 longevity expert? It appears to be based on book sales. He describes the same explanations of others in the field of longevity.
Every time I hear about this dead hang thing it freaks me out. I'm 45, I train 6 times a week, weightlifting, cycling, grappling, mma and kickboxing. I would say I'm fitter and stronger than the average 20 year old or even the guys I train with. I can do more than 20 pull-ups. But I couldn't hang for more than 90 seconds if my life depended on it. The other thing is carrying my own weight. It's very hard for me to carry two dumbbells half my weigh. At the same time, I can easily pick up guys during wrestling who are like 30% heavier than me. Aslo, my grip is not easy to break when wrestling. I have no idea why my forearm is so weak under certain circumstances.
I think you should take comfort in the fact that his recommendations about grip strength and dead-hangs are very possibly misguided. The science that people with stronger grips live longer is just a correlation, and not necessarily causative. Grip strength might just function as a proxy for the health effects of resistance training and strength generally. Basically people with strong grips have good genes and/or do healthy training. It's easy to think of many mechanisms by which resistance training and strength can be health promoting, it's not easy to think of many mechanisms by which grip specifically has outsized importance for someone with a naturally weaker grip who is otherwise doing all the right things. I sincerely wouldn't care much about it if I were you.
You're doing 20 pullups! That's carrying your weight, that is impressive (max PFT score for a Marine your age). If you trained either exercise (dead hang/farmers carry) you would kill it inside a month. I can dead hang longer, and farmer carry more, but ME THINKS you might just destroy me in the ring, i would take the practical - life applied talents you have anyday.
Could we define what "exercise" is. As far as I understand it the benefits come in as simple at 4000 to 6000 steps a day. (What you would likely do going to work) but too often people think they need to do cross fit.
Fantastic conversation! 30 years of healthcare and I can tell you it is actually sick care, except for emergency medicine, and the best doctors trained the way he described. It’s a simple fact that much like the military, it made them be the best and now they churn out pathetic humans who have little drive or desire to excel. Like many systems it now attracts the basic human and that’s not what a good doctor should be, they are just pill pushing dogma following clinicians. I’ve found it harder somehow to fit the level of fitness into my routine the last few years that I had for many years and I always feel inspired to get back to that when I listen to Attia but he also puts into perspective the fact of you have a life then it has to adjust to that life job/ kids/ partners etc
I'm an example of why exercise is so important - I eat the same diet every week of the year, and as a cyclist I am thin in the summer and overveight in the winter because I can't ride.
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals lol 😂 sugary foods are impossible to resist, especially during Halloween, them kids bring home all sorts of goodie’s you will relapse.
......even the chocolate ones?@@Dangermoose-rv6bb It must be good advice. (What if you had 20 donuts....and stacked them in piles of two? Could you then eat 8 of these sweet pillars and be okay?)
Who wants to live longer? I'm trying to shorten my life and I'm only 43. When I leave work on Friday...I can't even enjoy the weekends because I'm dreading Monday. My life is Office Space for real! I wish I could go and get hypnotized and think I'm fishing every day from 7-4pm. I have a case of the Mondays...24/7. I guess..my life is half way done...so I've got that going for me.
I came across this video while watching about something else and heard you say that grip strength is about carrying heavy things. Or “picking up” heavy things daily. Well I’m here to tell you that’s a crock. I’m a 63 year old woman that DAILY picks up 60 pound bails of hay and grain and works with horses (you have to hold 1200 pounds when they pull away trust me it’s a workout) BUT my grip strength has progressively gotten worse. Yes it’s age. Yes it’s arthritis setting in. BUT the grip strength is leaving. I still work daily and still carry heavy things daily. But HOLDING things is problematic anymore.
What I would like to know regarding the point around 15 minutes, is why some of us don't store excess energy as fat. I am unable to gain weight if I try and if I eat a bit too much I have to get rid of it with excess activity or I will just feel full and sick for a day or two and so I won't eat as much. Why do some of us not have that fat storage technique, as surely it would have been a big disadvantage for us before the modern era of plentiful food, so how did some of that type survive?
If you eat to much you have to get rid of it? Rid of what? the bloating from eating? No one is unable to gain weight. You just have to eat more and get on with it

Simply keeping snack foods out of the house is a major start!!
My grandparents ate really fatty foods, but homecooked and from good healthy sources, they drank beer and schnapps, one smoked, ate cakes, worked a lot physically and both lived beyond 90.
How much beer is safe to have daily?
I’m a 60 year old who has done recently several “thru-hikes) while light smoking and moderate drinking a few days a week. Genes can overcome several things. If we’re not sedentary as we age, the chances that good genes can overcome tobacco use or moderate alcohol intake increases substantially with exercise. However, gambling on our genes to clear out a toxin such as alcohol is probably an unwise bet that I am doing, as well, as smoking. Playing it safe is the way. Zero alcohol and no tobacco. But to answer your question a person of general good healthy can drink, in most cases, 2 🍻 or a 1 1 glass of🍷a few days a week. That’s what most research 🔬 is currently telling.
you mean 11 glasses of wine per week and 2 cases of beer?@@jazsway3224
Researchers now say that one glass of alcohol shows signs of abuse in the brain already. Old age alone cannot be an indication of health I'd submit. Best thing the way I see it is to find out if life as such (without any man made additives) does not bring best results all round. It takes a bit of a new approach however. Having said that a treat now and again should not interfere too much.
@@fussypeg8561 "Researchers now say that one glass of alcohol shows signs of abuse in the brain already." The "abuse" is tiny and completely recovers the day one doesn't drink. What is clearly bad is long- term alcohol abuse

I am a regular listener to PA’s Drive podcast. It is excellent. From diet to zone training to his general thoughts, everything is logical and well thought out. One can relate to him easily. This is a superb episode. Hopefully PA did not get into too much trouble with his wife for speaking almost 2 hours on this podcast.
why do you care about his wife
@@TheTechNiShandid you read Petter Atia ,s book ? Then you will understand.Peter used to be a workaholic and had little time spent with his family. Now he switched from working too much and now he spends more time with his family. So now ,maybe you understand why the person mentioned Peter's wife.
Too bad Peter is a pharma shill. Take your statin that promotes diabetes and dementia oh and it promotes calcium buildup. No thanks pharma shill. If you aren’t sick go see your doctor. They’ll fix that for you and give you a bunch of meds to take to “fix” it. Yeah I took the statin for 20 years. Didn’t help me at all. Statins are 100% Malpractice!
I rarely put some comments, but I am really enjoying this episode... Nice job guys and keep up the good work!
This is actually my favorite podcast, rn.
One of my fave podcasts with Dr Attia.
What he said at 38:15 hit home. I've trained my whole life (past competitor) and i've come to a point where I don't know what the point is anymore. I need to find a new objective. Ty ❤️
Agreed, a sense of “meaning and purpose” is essential on multiple levels in order to attain a sense of well being.
Sames..I feel ya. Ran track in college. Then trained for bodybuilding and powerlifting for over 15 years....then got into cycling races the last 10 years. Now I'm done with all that and that level or interest in training like that. Trying to find balance now as I age older
Read and listen to people who are happy doing what they love!!!!!!!! Take up a hobby :)

Peter is EVERYWHERE with this message....😮😲
I’m 71, and discovered a hypnosis video for weight loss and mindful eating this summer. I am now back to 135 which is within 20 pounds of what I weighed when I graduated high school. My whole approach to food has improved immensely in that I simply don’t want as much and I don’t crave empty calories. Amazingly easy and effective for me!!!!!
Thank you Cindie for your post but could you also share the name of this hypnosis video for weight loss that you got such great help from. I'm 69 and don't want another year to go by without reaching my good weight which is about 30 to 40 lbs. less than I weigh now. I've tried many things but would really appreciate something to improve my efforts. Thanks for sharing,

For some reason, after being a food critic for 14 years I am no longer hungry. Had it, did it and now I like only the most simple of home made food. No sugar. :)
One of the best convo/podcast I’ve heard
Brilliant have returned to hear it again and it's pivotal on reshaping my later years. Thanks
It's very unfortunate that my husband doesn't care or wants to know ,he already is on high blood pressure tablets ,he is totally disengaged @ home ,our world is not ,he hates me listening & knowing all this & this is my profession. What is an answer here ? 😢total change? Thank you so much Dr Peter Atia ,so many people l speak to all women more listen to you & care . Thank you ,but my emotional life in partnership is very stressful. Thank you all & Peter Atia .M Australia.

It's really hard to work through all the food stuff but if it you don't bring it home and it's not in the pantry you can't snack on it, good or bad.
That's a really good idea. Also never go shopping hungry.
Most of the dopamine is gained from sourcing your fix. If you have to spend 30 minutes to get your fix, dopamine is through the roof. The addiction is made worse. The actual eating the junk doesn't give much dopamine. I had some alcoholics live with me, when they were getting the alcohol they were so happy, as soon as they started drinking they were miserable. It's a battle, until you get to a place where you just don't want to buy the junk.
Great episode. I do have to say though - Jake, this podcast doesn't top your performance as a CBBC presenter.
What about the strategy of calorie restriction through feeling more satisfied either because you use food that occupies greater volume (more water more fiber) or because you find your personal food choices that can absolutely make you satisfied (even if they're not the healthiest) and are less likely to be overeaten???

Regarding how Zone2 can be measured by perceived exertion (heart rate = 180 - age) and
Regarding how Grip-Strength and Vo2Max integrates healthy lifestyle elements.. where Vo2Max declines 10% by decade and top athletes have a score of 85, healthy fit 53, healthy centenarians' V02max is above 30, and below 20 is hard to walk 2mph or climb stairs..
What if one has a high grip-strength but low Vo2Max.. or vice-versa.. which has a stronger influence on all-cause-mortality?

Peter is certainly insightful but I think beyond calories, even in a slight surplus, the greater regulator for metabolic health is how that energy is utilized which is regulated by metabolic health of a person. A prime example is in the case of obesity, it’s far beyond calories, again, even in a surplus.

Excellent information. Thank you..
I wish Dr. Attia or someone would develop a comprehensive, noninvasive test that he could say, "put away your supplements for 30 days, take the comprehensive test, and THEN we'll figure out what you really need."
You take "supplements" why ?
Apart from B12 and D, I rely on a LOT of broccoli and beans and a few other key food items.
Let food be thy medicine.
D3/k2. Quercitin/zinc/NAC/ vitamin C L-citrilline. These help the immune system, inflammation and nitric oxide production. Also as much nose breathing as possible.
How about getting some tests, what deficiencies are in our system, and getting supplements for them.
Interesting that all the goals Dr Attia enumerates, 4 flights of stairs, carrying 20lb, etc I find perfectly reasonable for myself, presently 66 yr old woman.
Will that be reasonable in 10 years, 20 years?
I like how he adapts to his surrounding by using British vocabulary 😄
"crisps" and "biscuits". 😂😂😂😂
"Biscuits." Right, Dr. Attia repeated that back, ha.
simple solution:
1. eat carnivore.
2. check vitamin ( D3, B12, etc. ) levels and supplement to get to the highest range of normal.
3. once you start feeling good, start a workout routine.
Stupidity. Pure stupidity.
Carnivore is not a "simple" solution. It's a very difficult lifestyle for a lot of people and there is effectively no long term research that indicates carnivore is good for longevity. The fact that it seems to raise LDL-C/ApoB drastically in some people and the lack of dietary fiber are not exactly in step with the current longevity research.
@@nichtsistkostenlos6565 Mah.
Nothing could be easier than eating Carnivore especially in the days of mail order food and Dollar Stores on every corner even in food deserts.
Try eating nothing but frozen, grass fed hamburger patties, bacon, eggs and butter for 3 months. If you’re forced to eat out, get a plain triple quarter pounder from McD’s or Baconator from Wendy’s for $10 and peel the bun off. Don’t get the fries and sugary drinks that make the meal cost $12.
For one thing, you’ll find that the need for fiber is a myth. Fiber is utterly waste that creates big, squishy, sticky poop. Eating animal foods only creates perfect poop that falls out and requires at best, one wipe. To me, that’s proof that humans evolved as carnivores with only rare vegetable matter, fruits or sugars. Then civilizations began starving and farming.
One of the many helps for me was fasting. Doing one day. or 2 days. To set the stage for mental gymnastics to not eat things when it's in front of you. That's what i recommend. Then i recommend high fat natural snacks. Ice cream, as plain as possible. High in fat. Then add more cream to it. You will not gain jumbo weight. you will probably loose some as it signals fullness better than a brownie. Or potato chips., those will never say you're full. Ever. Maybe after two bags worth.
The less I eat the happier I am. I can't believe it. No food and I'm feeling great. Prefer water. Lucky me. :)
Balance. Moderation.
This was an eye opener.Thank for this. I'll be taking notes!

It’s taken me a long time to realise (as Peter says), it’s fat loss I’m after with increased muscle mass and not weight loss.
I can see muscle growth in obvious areas like arms and legs. How can you measure the amount of muscle mass?

Great interview!!!
I made my self very lightweight. Many people think it is sick. But that is where body builders start - with low fat percentage. Why they are not called names? Those hecklers are usually people having more fat percentage and they tend to take some kind of authority in normal life situations like using their profession as to earn the right to make statements. For example my doctor wrote on her paper "anorexic" having her self 40% of fat looks. And I weighed 110kg and it was enough to mention her that I'm gonna lose weight for her write down words like "anorexic". I tried of course to change that doctor but she was the chief doctor of our muncipal so you know what are you dealing with. It is almost illegal lose weight for good here in Finland. Only "biggest loser"-methods are allowed i.e low fat - high sugar - get weight back. But we luckily know already better and want to keep it away too so solid life style change is needed too. Starting with ketogenic diet and rolling healthy diets around intermittent fasting will make it happen. I had no tendency to build any muscle even when weighing 110kg/220lbs so I deduced that in reality my build is slender and I can enjoy all the benefits of being light weight. One of those benefits is to not get exhausted stepping up stairs or climbing hills. Overall mobility is also very much different when fat leaves vertebrae. So my fat percentage went down from 35% to 9% and visceral measurement went from 15 to 1 on Omron Karada. Morning blood sugar is around 4.0 mmol/l and during the day it climbs to 5.0 even if noting is eaten. That tells me kidneys and liver are making very actively sugar(gluconeogenesis). If you compare 110kg person to same person as 65kg he is very different beast because at metabolic level there is excess of everything where as there used to be scarcity of everything.
Dr, lustig can walk you through the cellular process and pro/cons of sugar. What it does to the brain vs body. Similar thread for fake sugars. Tell you brain you received drugs when they are not processed the same. Very different.
I highly recommend "Sugar the bitter truth" it was the first video i ever watched that made lots of sense and got me to change forever.
Great episode, lads
Incredible episode.
What makes Peter Attia the world's #1 longevity expert? It appears to be based on book sales. He describes the same explanations of others in the field of longevity.
Every time I hear about this dead hang thing it freaks me out. I'm 45, I train 6 times a week, weightlifting, cycling, grappling, mma and kickboxing. I would say I'm fitter and stronger than the average 20 year old or even the guys I train with. I can do more than 20 pull-ups. But I couldn't hang for more than 90 seconds if my life depended on it.
The other thing is carrying my own weight. It's very hard for me to carry two dumbbells half my weigh. At the same time, I can easily pick up guys during wrestling who are like 30% heavier than me. Aslo, my grip is not easy to break when wrestling. I have no idea why my forearm is so weak under certain circumstances.
How tall are you and what’s your weight? I am taller so heavier and dead hanging for a long time is harder for me than a sub 6 foot guy w less weight
I think you should take comfort in the fact that his recommendations about grip strength and dead-hangs are very possibly misguided. The science that people with stronger grips live longer is just a correlation, and not necessarily causative. Grip strength might just function as a proxy for the health effects of resistance training and strength generally. Basically people with strong grips have good genes and/or do healthy training.
It's easy to think of many mechanisms by which resistance training and strength can be health promoting, it's not easy to think of many mechanisms by which grip specifically has outsized importance for someone with a naturally weaker grip who is otherwise doing all the right things.
I sincerely wouldn't care much about it if I were you.
@@Justin-ph6rx Yeah I'm pretty small, 166 cm, 68 kg. (~5'5", 150) so it should be even more than 2 mins for me :)
@@perman07 Yes, I agree, it's just a correlation, as Attia also says. It's just strange that it's so off in my case. :)
You're doing 20 pullups! That's carrying your weight, that is impressive (max PFT score for a Marine your age). If you trained either exercise (dead hang/farmers carry) you would kill it inside a month. I can dead hang longer, and farmer carry more, but ME THINKS you might just destroy me in the ring, i would take the practical - life applied talents you have anyday.
Sleep is massively important…😊
Could we define what "exercise" is. As far as I understand it the benefits come in as simple at 4000 to 6000 steps a day. (What you would likely do going to work) but too often people think they need to do cross fit.
Walking really shouldn’t be considered true exercise
Fantastic conversation!
30 years of healthcare and I can tell you it is actually sick care, except for emergency medicine, and the best doctors trained the way he described. It’s a simple fact that much like the military, it made them be the best and now they churn out pathetic humans who have little drive or desire to excel. Like many systems it now attracts the basic human and that’s not what a good doctor should be, they are just pill pushing dogma following clinicians.
I’ve found it harder somehow to fit the level of fitness into my routine the last few years that I had for many years and I always feel inspired to get back to that when I listen to Attia but he also puts into perspective the fact of you have a life then it has to adjust to that life job/ kids/ partners etc
Eat plenty of green, green is medicine for your body eat it every day Brocoli cabbage green pepper Spinach everything.

For me, I shop better when I'm hungry. I come home with more good healthy food. If I'm not hungry, I don't buy enough. I don't buy junk regardless.
I'm an example of why exercise is so important - I eat the same diet every week of the year, and as a cyclist I am thin in the summer and overveight in the winter because I can't ride.
Do ice baths in the winter. Start small and celebrate.
Eat less in the winter. 😊

I came across this video while watching about something else and heard you say that grip strength is about carrying heavy things. Or “picking up” heavy things daily. Well I’m here to tell you that’s a crock. I’m a 63 year old woman that DAILY picks up 60 pound bails of hay and grain and works with horses (you have to hold 1200 pounds when they pull away trust me it’s a workout) BUT my grip strength has progressively gotten worse. Yes it’s age. Yes it’s arthritis setting in. BUT the grip strength is leaving. I still work daily and still carry heavy things daily. But HOLDING things is problematic anymore.
'Well I’m here to tell you that’s a crock'
Not necessarily! Depends on the individual.
Peter is so smart and amazing, but unfortunately I couldn’t finish the video. The host is …. Disappointed 😔
What I would like to know regarding the point around 15 minutes, is why some of us don't store excess energy as fat. I am unable to gain weight if I try and if I eat a bit too much I have to get rid of it with excess activity or I will just feel full and sick for a day or two and so I won't eat as much. Why do some of us not have that fat storage technique, as surely it would have been a big disadvantage for us before the modern era of plentiful food, so how did some of that type survive?
If you eat to much you have to get rid of it? Rid of what? the bloating from eating? No one is unable to gain weight. You just have to eat more and get on with it
