Your guest said cancer is a "genetic" disease around 2:10:21. Maybe you should invite another guest on who completely disagrees with that statement. Dr. Thomas Seyfried says cancer is a metabolic disease that can be held back with a specific diet (mostly keto) that literally starves the cancer. He also said you would need to take a drug that inhibits glutamine and a few other micro nutrients to fully starve the cancer away because normal cells can survive without glucose and glutamine whereas cancer won't. The guy spent decades studying this and put it to the test in numerous experiments. There is already lots of evidence for this in brain cancer with people following this diet and keeping their tumor at bay while living normal healthy lives. As soon as they stopped following the diet the tumor came back, but once on the diet again the tumor shrank. Not sure it works for every cancer though.
What is your worldview that makes you afraid of death to the point of desiring to live an isolated life for eternity? I would say that is the most telling thing in this video and is probably the most important thing to be looked at.
0:00: :muscle: Exercise has more upside than nutrition in terms of life extension and health span extension, but nutrition has more downside if you get it wrong. 13:22: ⚕ Visceral fat is more inflammatory and damaging to the body than subcutaneous fat, and can impair insulin signaling and lead to type 2 diabetes. 26:58: 💪 Strength and muscle mass are more predictive of a long life than any other metric we have. 48:00: 🥦 Different dietary strategies, such as caloric restriction, time restriction, and dietary restriction, can be used to achieve weight loss and other health goals. 55:02: ✅ To optimize muscle protein synthesis, it is important to spread out protein intake throughout the day and consume about 40-50 grams of protein per meal. 1:21:03: 💡 Dietary cholesterol does not significantly affect cholesterol levels in the body, as most of it is not absorbed and is excreted, while genes play a significant role in blood lipid levels. 1:23:08: 😮 Emotional health is a crucial aspect of longevity and living a fulfilling life. 1:47:05: 💡 The four main causes of death are diseases of atherosclerosis, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases. 1:50:25: 🧠 The interview discusses the use of drugs and lifestyle interventions to mitigate the risks of Alzheimer's disease and heart disease, including the use of rapamycin and lipid-lowering drugs. 2:05:32: 💡 The speaker discusses the current state of cancer treatment and the potential of immunotherapy and enhancing the immune response to fight cancer. 2:18:44: 💪 The person is discussing their body composition, protein intake, and muscle hardness, as well as their desire to add muscle mass and improve stability. 2:31:46: 💪 Grip strength is an integral part of upper body strength and can be developed by carrying heavy things. Recap by Tammy AI with useful timestamps for busy people =)
One thing to correct: 31:40 High cardiorespiratory fitness (Vo2max), high muscle mass and high strength are more predictive of longevity than any other metric.
53:00 Protein is the most important macronutrient in the diet. 1.6g of protein per kg of body weight should be consumed daily. The bioavailability of plant protein is not as good, so you need even more protein per day.
Great information 👍 Originally from Spain, I lived in USA for 5 years. Nowadays, I've been living in Japan for 17 years, and I'm always amazed at seeing people in their 70's hiking and enjoying outdoor activities as young people do. The Japanese elders are physically and mentally healthier than many people of their same age from America and Europe. They eat small amounts of many different ingredients during their meals, specially vegetables and roots, which I cannot find in my home country (gobo, renkon daikon, yamaimo...). Many varieties of fish and seafood. A lot of fermented foods like miso, nato, amazake...They don't go crazy with fruits, small portions, but they love eating traditional sweets like anko (red beans with sugar) and mochi. Most of them don't do dietary restrictions, but they control the amount of food they eat, saying eat until you are 80% full. Abundant intake of green tea, too. They enjoy talking to other people, and feel grateful for what they have. Of course, their DNA may play an important role in the equation, but overall their diets and lifestyles may be as important as their genetic information🤔........this is only my personal observation 🤓☝️
The first culture shock any foreigner has when coming to America is the lack of variety of meat, fish and veggies,. There are aisles and aisles of cereals, pasta, bread, cookies and other sweet stuff in the groceries story but only two choices of meat or fish. Same with veggies. Very little choice. Same with cheese. Basically, all they cook is ground beef or bake some chicken breast or salmon, and eat broccoli for vegetable, and of course, lots of pasta. No seasonings, nothing must taste strong or spicy, just bland boring stuff. They are afraid that fatty meat, or fatty fish, will rise their cholesterol, yet they are not afraid of cakes or cookies made with loads of butter and sugar. They are disgusted at the idea of cooking a fish that still has its head or a chicken that still has its bones, but to make a meat loaf or an hamburger, are completely alright to squeeze their hands in ground meat which looks like nasty worms.
So I'm just curious, what has you traveling to America and living so many years & so far away from home, I've always wanted to visit Japan especially but western Europe as well I've traveled lots in America but only left to visit the Bahama Islands. If I was rich all I would ever do is travel/explore the world.
My ex-husband and I met when We were 24 & 25. After work we hit the gym together to run, lift weights, and play several games of racquetball. I had a bad accident in my 30's and could not do many of the things I used to do. My ex continued to exercise everyday . Today he is almost 70 aand still exercises everyday. His mother's day present to our daughter was to totally redo her backyard. He brought in dirt after he ripped out all the weeds in just a few hours. He has the stamina of a 25 year old . I have only been able to walk everyday which includes backward walking. Both of us have good diets. My goal is to never have a degenerative disease and to keep active and happy.
Going to be honest. I was an athlete for many years. 50 was a turning point, in that, my joints just couldn't take the pounding any more. At 61 I'm constantly looking for ways to remain active and healthy without needing joint replacements. Building muscle without wearing joints down further is a daily challenge.Less intensity means more time. Diet plays a huge role in the big picture.
Id say check out th Whim Hopf method hot n cold water therapy brweathing exercises and its pretty much free it takes getting used to that schock to you body but you ony habe to stay in the cold from 30 seconds to a minute and yes its a shocker but gets rid of inflamation and boost6s all the posative chemicals in your brain and its so dam easy. just my two cents n hope it helps
@@mickbethful Whatever percentage your weight is of a horse's weight, so it will be a very small amount. Probably 0.2 fl oz for a 200 lbs man. I don't take it, but Ive heard guys in the military take it for their joints.
Get up early in the morning and take a long walk. It helps to clear your mind and it can be enjoyable. You see a lot of interesting things early in the morning.
As a natural bodybuilder/trainer I feel like this is the first knowledgeable doctor that I would trust 100%, as he confirms all that I have learned over the years and my resistance towards keto and other restrictive diets for overweight people as the only solution that others swear by.
My father is 94, my mother is 90, they live together at home and are still very fit and active social life but have been forced to make new friends as their old friends have all died, they had a very hard life and certainly weren’t able to chose their diet or what they ate, my parents and I can guarantee you this never ever read a fancy diet or exercise book or listened to a podcast or video on health. If you told my mother she had to improve her grip strength she would tell you of. They love seeing their grandchildren and great grand children. They don’t use a sauna, steam room, eat sprouts, low carb, high carb, vegan, vegetarian or carnivore. My mum is makes great cakes and we ate cake almost every week. They are not diabetic and go to the doctor sparingly but when they do the doctors is amazed at their health. Both have been fat in the past even though they both deny it I have the photos! When asked by they are so healthy they can’t explain it but they both say treasure your sleep, walk every day, avoid sugar, don’t over eat as you can always eat again tomorrow and don’t stress to much. Their country was completely destroyed in a war in their teenage years and millions killed. The invaders then occupied their country. Both said they felt it was the end on their world. They didn’t smoke but for decades probably 60 years breathed in second hand smoke from others. Both say do everything you can for yourself and help others if you can. They are concerned about the amount of chemicals in the environment and how it might effect their children.
They probably have great genes and are healthy in spite of their diet and lifestyle not because of it, something that all centenarians share, Jeanne Calment smoked until she was 117, I doubt that's why she lived until 122. Attia explained it in his book, but for "normal" people, not blessed with those genes, they have to watch what they eat and exercise in order to live a long healthy life.
Then your folks won the genetic lottery. Congratulations. Additionally, I’d bet they were a lot less sedentary than many western country populations are now.
The processed foods we have today did not exist. Thank you for sharing their story. It sounds like they not only take care of themselves, but they also take care of each other. And I'm sure live with gratitude.
@@rp2895 I have to get a mammogram and mri twice a year because both of my parents and sister had breast cancer although none died from it. My mom and sister took premarin and back in the 80s I told them that if they get breast cancer from it dont come crying to me. My dad didnt know men get breast cancer so his went into his lungs and had stage four breast and lung cancer. When they put a feeding tube down his throat he got a little nutso so they told my mom he had to leave the hospital. She put him on a very healthy diet and he even started to drive again and went to the senior olympics and danced. On a check at the hospital they put on a cuff too tight and he ended up staying at the hospital and caught pneumonia and died. Avoid hospitals at all costs.
I’m glad that you’ve expanded the discussion to “what are we actually doing it for”. I’ve been neglecting my body for long enough now, so now at the age of 47 I’m paying for it with too much too carry around. I’m very serious about changing it 🥰
I just started the carnivore diet 8 days ago because I feel lousy, have autoimmune conditions, my immune system is so compromised, and I struggle to keep my weight where I want it. I've decided that enough of refined sugars, no more seeded oils, no more processed food, and eating healthy fats and lean protein. I used to exercise like crazy, but a lot of life struggles, a single parent of a profoundly autistic child who acts like a 2 year-old in a 22 year-old body, a nasty divorce, loss of my mother, a direct hit from a cat 5 hurricane, and pandemic. I need to start exercise again, but I don't have energy or time to live in the gym like I did in graduate school. I'm already feeling better in just 8 days. America has something like approximately 41 to 42 percent obesity now!!! It was 15% in the 80s. I don't believe exercise or less of it can account for the processed foods, hormone disruptors, and refined sugar leading to insulin resistance.
@@annmarieknapp2480 I started in 2015. HDL had always been below 35 and has gone up to 76. Trigs had always been close to 300 and have dropped down to 69. I know it will add a decade or two to my life. I went from 220 lbs down to 175 lbs and the fat has never come back.
@johnsmith2221 no, you pay 11.99 for yourube premium which removes ads. Even if you pay for this service, some creators still put in ads in the video by making it apart of the video itself, such as he has done with his promotion of AG1
By far one of the best podcast I’ve ever listened to on these topics. Attia is very good at what he does, as well as Tom and his questioning… Today I am thankful for the two of you getting together and putting this out into the world
Not exactly. He spews lots of nontruths, especially when he’s talking about eating lots of crap without any consequence. That just doesn’t f&cking happen.
Genetic stomach cancer issues, otherwise am extremely healthy, but can't get good care here in Britain under the NHS, getting too old now anyway, so, I enjoy every day doing everything I love to do and got used to idea that might have to check out early.....Peter Attia and Tom Bilyeu made a great day for me and my husband listening to this pod cast, thank you.
Compassionate? How so? I don't think he's a bad person at all, but he works in a boushie, very expensive "longevity practice," outside the restraints of health insurance for the very wealthy only. Other than that, an author, speaker, influencer, and entrepreneur. None of these are bad or greedy, but where do you see compassion?
@@erikvanderveken1408 I don't know him, don't know anyone that knows him. I can't say from afar, as you are doing, whether he's compassionate, altruistic, apathetic, a good guy or not. I don't think it's fair to make judgements of people by their public persona. I was just curious how someone could is all. And you think writing a book is "compassionate." Why? Is it free? Are the proceeds being donated? Non profit? Have you read the book? Where in the book does he express compassion? It's an uncomfortable think to have someone challenge your perceptions I know. But if you want to make them public, you should be willing to defend them I think.
@@Joseph1NJ Hi Joseph, yes I do have his book actually. I fully accept that I may have some rose-tinted glasses on as I'm a great admirer of his work. No, obviously the book isn't free, as it shouldn't be. He obviously worked very hard to acquire his knowledge and authority status and he should be rewarded relative to the value he provides, that's fair. In MY opinion, and I will stress that it is MY opinion and I do not claim this to necessarily be true, if someone from the medical community comes out, after a lifetime of research, that not some medical intervention or pil, or HIS diet and products to buy to solve all your problems, I think it comes from a place of "wanting to genuinely help people live better lives". As someone living in Ireland, even if went ahead and did all the scans and tests he recommends for cancer screening etc. he wouldn't make a single dollar on it, there is nothing in his book that sounds anything like "buy this product that I sell on my website, blablabla". It's all actionable stuff he clearly believes in a lot, and it is to the benefit of whoever reads it. I genuinely believe every single human on the planet should read this book and apply at least some of its learning to their life to increase their quality of life. At the end of the day, everyone needs to eat, and if you can make a good living while simultaneously serving the people, more power to you. Edit: Compare this guy, to let's say Dave Asprey who concocted some boloney stories about funghi in normal coffee and his coffee of course being the only coffee being without these funghi present? and all of the other pseudo science he peddles. Clearly he's coming at this game with very different motives.
Tom, I have worked in healthcare all my life.. Dr. Attia is amazing.. and what most doctors should understand.. but THEY DON'T! Love your podcasts Tom, excellent job.. and thank you for enlightening folks and helping bring this knowledge to an understandable level for Americans. They should pay close attention!
You learn 99% of what he says in medical school. Our medical system basically (high degree of specialization and paying high $ for highest specialists) leads to residencies that focus on a very small part of the picture. So you don’t forget it, you just don’t use it, and don’t continue to “practice it”. I can assure you that we learned all this stuff in medschool and more. I’m just not as smart as him 😆… no seriously, I’m a subspecialist, I don’t do what he does for a living. He doesn’t do what I do for a living. He is very good at telling the story and putting it all together.
This channel is mind blowing. I love the superior quality of the interviews. I am suffering with life threatening bad health. My blood pressure is 247/106, my kidneys hurt, I have stage 3 kidney disease, coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, fatty liver disease, Pre Type 2 diabetes, recovering from a heart attack from 2018, obese (height 5ft 10 inches and weighing 18stones. I should be 11stones 10Lbs), degenerative bone disease and memory loss. I am also suffering from long COVID and lots of family stress at home. I feel like I could be dead any time now and am trying to beat my condition. My body weight was 22st and 7Lbs back in 2021. I now weight 18st which is too heavy. I purchased a Life Fitness treadmill on Jan 2021. It took me 3 months to even get on it, because my condition was so bad. What I use the treadmill for is for gentle walking while holding onto the treadmill grip handles. This encourages blood circulation around the body. The death trap for me, which was killing me dead is the lack of movement and depression due degenerative bone disease, breathlessness, due to obesity, heart problems and long COVID. My joints are crippled. It really hurts to walk, bend over or do anything. I need to get down to 13stones as a matter of urgency. Everyday I wake up is a blessing and I thank god for allowing me to live and giving me access to this life changing channel. Thank you for sharing this incredible interview.
Hi Kelly, I am a lot worse. I am suffering with worsening debilitating conditions by the day. I have a major problem which needs urgent attention. Due to my obesity I have a hernia below my belly button which has swollen to painful levels. The hospital told me that in addition to my obesity, it is the hernia which is also contributing to my high blood pressure which measured 257/140 on 10/10.2023. The problem I have is that my blood pressure is by far too high for them to operate on me. I could have a heart attack during surgery. I have to also be careful that I do not develop a strangulated hernia or else this could be the end for me. I have been on a 24hr no food fast for the last 5 days and am starting a 36hrs fast from tomorrow. I have to take my bodyweight down to 13stones at least and have lost 7lbs in 5 days from fasting alone. @@kelleybrown9776 enstrangled
It's interesting to me, as someone with a lifetime of experience with eating disorders I was watching this thinking "Tom, you have orthorexia." and then you go ahead and pose the question yourself! That just proves your level of self awareness, and makes me respect your channel even more. Cheers
Why is orthorexia considered an eating disorder? Focusing on eating healthy is beneficial to our health especially in a country where everything is so highly processed and devoid of nutrients.
@@notnow7829I think when it’s taken too far and the thought or action of eating unhealthy food leads to problems in other areas of their lives. It should be a healthy mindset where you have the intrinsic motivation and forethought to eat healthy but also not shake yourself for eating unhealthy every once in a while.
Peter is such a brilliant man who speaks his truth as he learns more from his experience and learning. ❤ nothing better then speaking truth because we learn real stuff then just trying to get profits from audience. You gentlemen❤❤ help society as a whole!!!🎉
You'd be better off if you stop saying dumb stuff like "his truth". There is no personal truth. Something is either true based on facts, or it's not, there's no personal truth or subjective truth. If you're trying to say "opinion" then you already have a word for it
Tom does an amazing job pushing back on the guests and forcing out the information we're all thirsting for. It's something that's so lacking with so many interviewers.
My mom will be 93 in 5 months. Eats whatever she wants. Lots of black coffee. Hot dogs. Hamburgers. Bread. Never smoked a cigarette. Never drinks alcohol. Doesn’t exercise. Lol. Living on her own still. She did take very good care of herself when she was young, did yoga and exercises like sit ups and leg lifts etc. and never ate fast food. Sweets only on holidays and no snacks between meals. She has hypertension but nothing else wrong. Looks like she is 80.
One thing that wasn't discussed here is that hypertrophy v. hyperplasia of the fat cell is largely under genetic control. So alot of people will get insulin resistant at much lower body weights than others. The indian population is a case in point but of course many people have this problem. Absolutely very happy to listen to Peter Attia and have read his book. He's so articulate and hugely knowledgeable.
@@mark__1971 I think genetics plays a part in the set point or point at which they leak and in some it happens even at relatively low body weights. Actually instead of the fat cell dividing (healthy metabolically safe even if aesthetically annoying it keeps swelling becomes metabolically dysfunctional and then spills
This was a phenomenal interview, Tom! Great insights and questions. I loved Peter's book, and this helped me get even more out of it. Throughly enjoyed, thank you.
Its quality of life, not quantity of life, we need to be aiming for. Quality longevity is reaching 95+ and still healthy enough to take care of yourself and bounce on a mini tramp 💪
what a conversation you two are having. so interesting. this informaion is much closer to how I normally feel about my diet, exercise, blood tests, bench marks and such. except for the wild game that is. way to go!
Why are we making things so difficult, just consume the Mediterranean diet, walk, run, and do some weightlifting for 45 minutes to an hour and relax about the health craziness. I think there are a lot of people scared to death day in and day out. Just giving your intestines a break of at least 6 hours, is good advice, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner story plus the snacks in between is just a commercial concept. People as hunters were used to two meals a day back in the day.
Loving this one so far Tom. Always asking all the questions I have and really getting into the details/nuance that a lot of us other health consumers want to know. Extracting all the knowledge possible from the guest’s brain😈
Peter has a great point about the cow that is slaughtered at the end of its life and the surge of cortisol that is pumped into its bloodstream from the stress of that process. As a kidney transplant patient with sensitivity to cortisol and adrenalin I can tell you when I eat beef I experience mild symptoms similar to consuming caffeine which I believe is due to the levels of cortisol in the beef. That's why I no longer consume beef as it has the highest amount of cortisol compared with other meats.
Cows do not experience stress when they are slaughtered ..it happens in a second ..(the cow never knew what hit him.)..their is not any level of cortisol in meat ..since cortisol is a hormone found in the blood and the cows are drained of their blood ..any cortisol or adrenaline you are experiencing comes from your own body and it's reaction to eating meat .
If I may add to the conversation, considering my experience in the field of radiology. Longevity tends to favor medium to small frame individuals. Gravity really takes its toll in older age; the smaller, the better.
So true. Just my own observations while visiting retirement communities tells me that the oldest and yet most spry and energetic people have lighter, smaller, and somewhat svelte frames.
Unbelievable fucN show. I loved this information, just found out I had diabetes 35 days ago and my numbers are great now without taking medication in last 4 days because of shows like this. Thank you guys
Love listening to all the people you bring Tom, if you like to eat, you listen these advices which are great and eat 4 meals a day, if you don’t like to eat you listen the IF promoters😂health wise, only the IF helped me and I have over 80% muscle MASS with 2 meals a day🤷♀️
I am 68. While I have exercised at times in my life, often quite vigorously, eg swimming, weights...but I hated running. Recently after losing 25 kg, and being on keto, I was walking across a large oval in the sunlight and I had a sudden urge to run. I enjoyed the run even though it left me panting and sore. Wont do it again too often, but I can subjectively know that I could enjoy running around an oval.
Tomorrow I realize it’s been 50 yrs since my brother died in a car accident. I have been grateful for the time I had that he didn’t and I miss him and what might have been his life.
I'm so sorry for your loss... I'm sure your daughter would be proud to see you're still continue your journey on Earth even if you're still suffering and probably also have a hard time thriving on a day-to-day basis. I hope you'll find in your hearth the strength to go out and do what you used to love doing. And never forget that your daughter is now accompanying and protecting you each and every second of your existence wherever you are and that she wish for you to be happy. All my love to you ❤
I am always amazed at how these incredibly knowledgeable people can blindly attribute the massive complexities of the human body to some unknown source and process called evolution instead of acknowledging we have an all powerful Creator.
Thank you for your amazing work here, I just think that even at young age is better to eat healthy! Not neurotic about food because the stress management is another really important pillar on health 🙏🏻 it’s important to have balance at all the four pillars, Food, exercise, detoxification (environmental toxins, air pollution, chemical products including everything you use at your skin, house, how you store your food, and your sleep, that helps a lot at this pillar and stress management who helps your hormones, neurotransmitter and digestion as it helps your autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic stimulation) - meditation, breathing techniques,improving your thoughts and emotions as well as being in peace with your ancestral and practicing gratitude and forgiven ❤
Thank you millions Peter Attia. A remarkable brilliant and beautiful being whose work for humanity is beyond important. Love you tons. I got your book today. Thank you Tom, all my love to you too.
Attia is getting majority of his protein (and calories in general) from animal sources. According to a previous guest on this show, Dr. David Sinclair, (whole food) plant-based eating is one of the keys to longevity
What a wonderful and detailed explanation! I've learned so much from listening attentively to the both of you. Thank you Mr. Tom Bilyeu for this great interview with Mr. Peter Attia; God bless you guys 🙏🌹
Well, this was eye-opening. It seems that over the course of ten years, we are getting paradigm shifts every twelve to eighteen months through new research. The good news is we are improving our health and understanding with each iterative shift. My metabolic health has improved significantly over a year through just nutrition and time-restricted eating. I lost twenty lbs and a lot of visceral fat and felt better than I ever have. HOWEVER, I only focused on nutrition without much regular exercise. I was humbled recently after I stopped taking my lifelong prescription of Allopurinol about a year ago. Unfortunately, My chronic inflammation returned manifesting in gout attacks after six to eight months. I still feel I can whip my genetic predisposition to gout by further improving my metabolism through exercise combining aerobic and strength training.
Great job on picking this brilliant mans brain, Tom. Peter Attia has such a wealth of knowledge on health and lifespan it's not easy to know what to focus on even in a long format podcast, but this was a very satisfying talk to get to listen to.
At 126 lbs, wrestling, cross training and doing sports for fun at 20-21, I often ate 8,000-12,000 calories per day (big breakfast, lunch, dinner and several major snacks, drinking and party snacking about 2-3 nights a week, etc). My VO2 Max was 90, my resting heart rate was 32, and blood chemistry was excellent. I felt really good all the time in terms of energy, etc. By graduation, i changed my diet massively to the better by today’s standards and I finally learned what feeling great meant.
I would highly recommend getting an SHBG level and calculating your actual free testosterone level. It is key when determining a patients baseline status and determining the appropriate dosing protocol moving forward with hormone optimization. Of course you will want to also have a full hormone panel, not just testosterone, to establish your overall baselines.
To try and find an opposing viewpoint or a critique discouraging fasting, one video I liked is from Thomas DeLauer titled, " 5 newest advancements in fasting science that have changed my mind".
I love that you ask the questions that I want to know the answers to almost as I’m thinking them myself. That’s so awesome. I love watching your videos.
I will stick to eating one meal a day and train in a fasted state even if Dr Attia thinks it doesn't do any good. He'll change his mind in 20 years when science catches up. This guy has been wrong more than once in the past. But he is very articulate, that's sure. Great show by the way.
I'm a skeptic of anyone putting a lot of faith in any "scientific study" just about all of them are seriously flawed or bought by some special interests.
I have a hard time thinking how our ancestors could get a very specific amount of protein around 40g per meal four times per day. Surely they were eating larger amounts and then going longer periods between eating.
1) How much protein do we need? 2) What happens to excess protein in the body? 3) Soybeans typically contain around 36 grams of protein per 100 grams. They are considered one of the richest plant-based sources of protein available. On the other hand, steak's protein content can vary depending on the cut and fat content. Lean cuts of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin, typically contain around 20-25 grams of protein per 100 grams. However, fattier cuts like ribeye or T-bone steak may have slightly lower protein content due to the higher fat content. Therefore, if we compare soybeans and steak in terms of protein density, soybeans come out as the winner with a higher protein content per 100 grams. However, it's worth noting that steak can be a source of protein even if it falls short of soy in most all nutrients. With 0 cholesterol, tons of fiber, potassium, and iron.
@@onepunchflan3071 Studies have proven this point. It helps with mood and increases testosterone aswell as giving higher performance for athletes, all that with no downsides when eating at moderate amounts.
Wow, too much confusion. When it comes to health and nutrition, it is getting too confusing. There is such a thing as TMI. TMI without wisdom is useless. What I have learned and implementing is working for me, so I'll adjust when and if I have to. Thanks, Tom. You make a lot of good counter-points.
I still shocked by people saying Cancer is a Genetic Disease! This is probably the reason why we have barely move the needle in 50 years. Thomas Seyfried is an expert in this field.
probably a misunderstanding. Cancer is a disease of DNA. Most people think of Genetic disease as inheritable disease. Sometimes the reason why you have problems in DNA is due to inheritable defects.
I really really enjoyed this conversation. I did not understand very much but it’s amazing the passion and knowledge you have to give us that want to learn. Thankyou Dr Attia and Tom!
I’ve listened to many interviews with Peter about his new book and in each one I learn more, but one thing that’s not clear to me is whether the research that shows the importance of strength and cardio-respiratory fitness to lifespan and health span has been done mostly on men or equally on men and women.
Stoked that you enjoyed the episode! Welcome to the community. Check out some of our other health related videos! We've got a ton of content to enjoy. Best, Impact Theory Community Manager
Thank you! What do we do with the statement that autophagy during fasting has only been studied in rats? I thought that there were human studies done, and this had been sound knowledge for some time. Now all of the sudden there is no evidence. Perhaps an episode with a few experts with different opinions discussing it could help.
I love how one week we have Dr Gundry with claims that are not supported by teh majority of evidence and then another week we have Peter Attia who is so commited to following the evidence and science that he is always updating his perspective and sharing his journey.
In general, I like what Attia has to say, but come on guys. The data on sumo wrestlers is easily findable: On average, sumo wrestlers live 10-15 years shorter than the average Japanese person, typically dying in their late 60s or early 70s. Yes, there are outliers that live into their 80s. There. are. always. outliers. You can also easily find data on the health of people in other countries that don't eat garbage on a daily basis. When you start looking at it objectively, diet may not be increasing your lifespan, but it 100% can increase your healthspan. And remember: There. are. always. outliers.
I like hearing about prolonged fasting vs daily intermittent fasting, I've been doing 3-6 day fasts 1-3x a month and I've felt much better than with daily if
I disagree with what he says about diet not having a massive impact on longevity. I was 300lbs, type 2 diabetic, fatty liver disease, triglycerides through the roof, liver enzymes off the charts, high blood pressure, developing atherosclerosis etc etc the list goes on and on... After researching how all this happening to me I started carnivore and it is literally ALL GONE... all of it and I am now 220lbs... and all this happened in 6 months flat. My skin changed.. it looks so much healthier somehow.. i feel so good, mentally too. Who knows how many things in my body have changed for the better that Im not aware of. Getting rid of metabolic syndrome has increased my chances of living longer greatly its that simple.
He was pretty clear that extremely unhealthy diets cause bad health outcomes. Your diet and lifestyle has to have been very extreme to reach 300lb, so you would qualify for that definition. This is more about people with normal BMI say 23 BMI and how much influance a super healthy eating pattern vs a average eating pattern has on them. And than recognize that exercise has more health benefits compared to the perfect diet. Congrats on turning your life around. I tried Carnivore diet 3 times and never lasted more than a week on it. Got bad heart palpitations and my sleep basically went to zero. But i am now in the middle of the healthy BMI range through exercise and counting calories. I just need to keep the junkfood out of the house.
@@Bertuzz84 good for you buddy... i love hearing from others how they have turned things around and gotten healthy again. About my 300lbs... my diet wasnt all that extreme at all.. i was eating what I was told by government is healthy...wheat and grains, lots of fruit and veggies.. over 20 years i slowly got fatter and fatter and developed metabolic syndrome. Im not alone, this exact same scenario plays out for countless millions who have been lied to about what's healthy to eat. Im someone who rarely ate deserts or sodas.. almost never actually... yet i still became type 2 diabetic and got NAFLD and was heading for a heart attack. I didnt even know how unhealthy I was... the lousy doctors Ive had over the last 2 decades never said a word to me. If I had kept taking their advice Id die from a heart attack without ever been told it was going to happen.
@@AbBc-w4q Yes i do agree that the government promoted diet is high in carbs, and low in satiating protein rich food. Atleast where i live the main government aim seems to be to promote a diet lower in meat especially. And meat consumption here is already way lower compared to America. PCP's seem pretty useless for health advice. Mine had a big belly and was breathing heavy. He was clearly overweight and had no passion for healthy living.
it was refreshing to hear Peter Attia fully explain Lipo protien and cholesterol and that it's not the cholesterol perse but the type of lipoprotein carrier that's important And you should get that measured!
Visceral fat is definitely a problem and that’s what got me listening, but then this conversation went off the rails IMO. How many centenarians are exercise junkies? And how many exercise junkies live until they’re really old? My grandmother lived until 3 months off her 100th birthday. Her favourite sport was sitting doing crosswords and her idea of a good meal was a biscuit, a cup of tea and a cigarette. True story.
Recent studies have shown that glycogenesis only occurs IF our bodies need it. Not as a regular process as we once thought. So no, excess protein doesn't just get converted to glucose when we over eat it. Our bodies can't use it either.
I believe it's the opposite. Food is medicine. Organic, plant based foods will give you more life than stressful and damaging workouts. Yoga, meditation, dance. That's all we need.
The millions of podcasts with bold titles that are 2 hours long, that suction your time into an abyss, dark hole and you realize where did my time go. Run as fast you can before they get you.
This is just a casual observarion from living in Japan. From news reports about deaths of former sumo wrestlers, many don't seem to have a long life expectancy.
I've never been the type of person to exercise but I'm still pretty healthy and seventy-one. I've never been the type of person to walk, or run. But I do eat a good diet and I believe it'll be a long time before I kick the bucket.
I call some BS. I have done 16:8 IF for 3 years. A year ago I started weight lifting and eat way more protein. I have bulked up very good and continue to do so. Second, you know, Tom, that there are studies showing autophagy increases longevity. Yes, I would agree exercise is key to autophagy and not just IF. That being said, we need to consider Mitochondria.
Key to exercise is make sure you're not causing chronic injuries. Yes it probably extends your lifespan somewhat, but the time you gain is likely similar to the time spent exercising to attain the effect. So unless you really enjoy the exercise it's kind of neutral in terms of actual useful time gained. The real benefit of exercise is in higher quality of life, feeling better, being stronger, having more endurance, more energy. Especially as you pass from middle age into old age, maintaining these capacities avoids many of the limits most people over 60 seem to suffer. But again... these benefits can be neutralized completely or driven into negative territory if you cause yourself chronic injuries from joint damage, connective tissue tears, repetitive impact, repetitive strain. These will limit you greatly, especially in old age. I've never met any serious powerlifter, weightlifter, or bodybuilder who doesn't have shoulder problems from imbalance and repeat injuries. Most have knee and back issues too. Similarly only some of the lightest runners seem to get away with decades of running without knee, hip, or foot problems. Bicyclists have their own chronic injury set. Virtually every sport does, probably largely due to overuse and overstraining of low bloodflow connective tissues and joint tissues... exceeding their limited capacity for repair especially as you age. I expect the key here is to mix a variety of training movements and a variety of training stress levels and volume levels and supplement these with extra recovery boosting activity such as sauna, cold baths, passive + active stretching, and some low stress steady state stuff like walking or swimming.
Good questions/interview. Life long dancer at age 63 here. Some movements I can do as well as I did when I was 20. But like Peter has stated the limiting factor is O2 consumption and POWER....plus any orthopedic issues. I take 10-20 mg Prednisone daily for polymyalgia, an autoimmune disease, and I find that it gives me an abundance of energy, likely due to higher blood glucose and perhaps muscle glycogen. It also takes away most of my pain, which can cause me to feel weak and powerless. I'm 5 foot 8, 133 lbs, male, and trying to get to 8% body fat, so I'm on high protein, low fat, lower carb diet. At 133 lbs, I'm finding I only need 1300-1400 calories per day to sustain my current weight, even with 2 hours cardio(dancing/brisk walking) and 15 to 25 to 45 lb weights. It's crazy low amount.
There is evidence that prednisone causes cancer...you can increase your O2 and strength as you age ..you have to eat more and lift heavier.weights to gain muscle power and bone strength.Miranda Esmonde White ( Classical Stretch /TV show) is still flexible and dancing at 75.😮
The host is sooooo into himself! I’d hate to be someone that would have to depend on him. It feels like he would leave you behind in a heartbeat to get another 5 years of life. That all by yourself thing they spoke of isn’t far off for him.
Only because he has a strong will to live doesn't mean he doesn't care for and love others at all. He built his business to a large extent to support and provide for his beloved wife.
@Whitefang Water I always like the ones who talk about hot tubs and sauna before bed. Rhonda Patrick recently was talking about her outdoor hot tub beneath the stars before bed and I saw another talking about the sauna before bed. They all have this in their homes and it's hilarious how they talk as if we can all jump into our outdoor hot tubs before bed or take $200 of supps a week. Also they all talk like we have all day free like them to exercise strength, muscle mass, cardio, flexibility, balance etc not to mention of course the morning routine of sunlight for my circadian rhythm. We normal plebs have jobs. We don't have the time these people have or their wealth.
Having analyzed all the Drive show notes over the years, I find it hard to believe that Attia has sincerely come to some of these conclusions regarding diet. He seems to have embraced certain industry messaging, particularly regarding statins. I find Ken Berry MD and Paul Saladino MD's messages (and perhaps a middle ground between the two) to be more authentic.
Card RN (me) for 30 yrs .. I read a ton of studies .. When he say's is correct, re overwhelming majority of people will not reduce their LDL (raise HDL) enough (more than a single dig %) with Diet & Exercise .. I did, b/c I'm an "abnormally disciplined" individual (statins win the risk benefit analysis) You can argue it all day o/w .. I worked and talk to Cardiologist, and they're not in a Big Pharma evil Kabal ..
WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
Your guest said cancer is a "genetic" disease around 2:10:21.
Maybe you should invite another guest on who completely disagrees with that statement. Dr. Thomas Seyfried says cancer is a metabolic disease that can be held back with a specific diet (mostly keto) that literally starves the cancer. He also said you would need to take a drug that inhibits glutamine and a few other micro nutrients to fully starve the cancer away because normal cells can survive without glucose and glutamine whereas cancer won't. The guy spent decades studying this and put it to the test in numerous experiments.
There is already lots of evidence for this in brain cancer with people following this diet and keeping their tumor at bay while living normal healthy lives. As soon as they stopped following the diet the tumor came back, but once on the diet again the tumor shrank.
Not sure it works for every cancer though.
I think Dr. Peter Attia looks annoyed when he gets interrupted when trying to finish his sentences/thoughts.
😅
What is your worldview that makes you afraid of death to the point of desiring to live an isolated life for eternity? I would say that is the most telling thing in this video and is probably the most important thing to be looked at.

One thing to correct: 31:40 High cardiorespiratory fitness (Vo2max), high muscle mass and high strength are more predictive of longevity than any other metric.
53:00 Protein is the most important macronutrient in the diet. 1.6g of protein per kg of body weight should be consumed daily. The bioavailability of plant protein is not as good, so you need even more protein per day.
59:45 When undergoing Chemotherapy doing so under a caloric restriction can be beneficial

Great information 👍 Originally from Spain, I lived in USA for 5 years. Nowadays, I've been living in Japan for 17 years, and I'm always amazed at seeing people in their 70's hiking and enjoying outdoor activities as young people do. The Japanese elders are physically and mentally healthier than many people of their same age from America and Europe. They eat small amounts of many different ingredients during their meals, specially vegetables and roots, which I cannot find in my home country (gobo, renkon daikon, yamaimo...). Many varieties of fish and seafood. A lot of fermented foods like miso, nato, amazake...They don't go crazy with fruits, small portions, but they love eating traditional sweets like anko (red beans with sugar) and mochi. Most of them don't do dietary restrictions, but they control the amount of food they eat, saying eat until you are 80% full.
Abundant intake of green tea, too.
They enjoy talking to other people, and feel grateful for what they have.
Of course, their DNA may play an important role in the equation, but overall their diets and lifestyles may be as important as their genetic information🤔........this is only my personal observation 🤓☝️
))
The first culture shock any foreigner has when coming to America is the lack of variety of meat, fish and veggies,. There are aisles and aisles of cereals, pasta, bread, cookies and other sweet stuff in the groceries story but only two choices of meat or fish. Same with veggies. Very little choice. Same with cheese. Basically, all they cook is ground beef or bake some chicken breast or salmon, and eat broccoli for vegetable, and of course, lots of pasta. No seasonings, nothing must taste strong or spicy, just bland boring stuff. They are afraid that fatty meat, or fatty fish, will rise their cholesterol, yet they are not afraid of cakes or cookies made with loads of butter and sugar. They are disgusted at the idea of cooking a fish that still has its head or a chicken that still has its bones, but to make a meat loaf or an hamburger, are completely alright to squeeze their hands in ground meat which looks like nasty worms.
So I'm just curious, what has you traveling to America and living so many years & so far away from home, I've always wanted to visit Japan especially but western Europe as well I've traveled lots in America but only left to visit the Bahama Islands. If I was rich all I would ever do is travel/explore the world.
People sure do a lot of smoking & drinking esp in the cities ..
Right, on the junk, but Your going to the wrong Supermarket, if you only have a couple of meat, fish & produce choices &@@isabellegiorgis2975
My ex-husband and I met when We were 24 & 25. After work we hit the gym together to run, lift weights, and play several games of racquetball. I had a bad accident in my 30's and could not do many of the things I used to do. My ex continued to exercise everyday . Today he is almost 70 aand still exercises everyday. His mother's day present to our daughter was to totally redo her backyard. He brought in dirt after he ripped out all the weeds in just a few hours. He has the stamina of a 25 year old . I have only been able to walk everyday which includes backward walking. Both of us have good diets. My goal is to never have a degenerative disease and to keep active and happy.
What do you consider a good diet ????????
So your husband left you because
You had an accident and wasn't fit

Going to be honest. I was an athlete for many years. 50 was a turning point, in that, my joints just couldn't take the pounding any more. At 61 I'm constantly looking for ways to remain active and healthy without needing joint replacements. Building muscle without wearing joints down further is a daily challenge.Less intensity means more time. Diet plays a huge role in the big picture.

There's the transcript.
Get up early in the morning and take a long walk. It helps to clear your mind and it can be enjoyable. You see a lot of interesting things early in the morning.
This discussion is like a great movie. You have to re-watch it at least twice in order to get the most out of it.
Twice with a pen and paper and a lot of pausing. Oh wait maybe a pencil with a fresh eraser.

@@jadezee6316I am reading his book now. Is there something specific he said is not true? thanks
As a natural bodybuilder/trainer I feel like this is the first knowledgeable doctor that I would trust 100%, as he confirms all that I have learned over the years and my resistance towards keto and other restrictive diets for overweight people as the only solution that others swear by.
As soon as Dr. Atitia’s book came out on audio, I listened to every word, and I have the highest respect for him.
Are you applying what is in his book? If so, what?
Me too. I just got it today. And I heard him and I am getting it together.
My father is 94, my mother is 90, they live together at home and are still very fit and active social life but have been forced to make new friends as their old friends have all died, they had a very hard life and certainly weren’t able to chose their diet or what they ate, my parents and I can guarantee you this never ever read a fancy diet or exercise book or listened to a podcast or video on health. If you told my mother she had to improve her grip strength she would tell you of. They love seeing their grandchildren and great grand children. They don’t use a sauna, steam room, eat sprouts, low carb, high carb, vegan, vegetarian or carnivore. My mum is makes great cakes and we ate cake almost every week. They are not diabetic and go to the doctor sparingly but when they do the doctors is amazed at their health. Both have been fat in the past even though they both deny it I have the photos! When asked by they are so healthy they can’t explain it but they both say treasure your sleep, walk every day, avoid sugar, don’t over eat as you can always eat again tomorrow and don’t stress to much. Their country was completely destroyed in a war in their teenage years and millions killed. The invaders then occupied their country. Both said they felt it was the end on their world. They didn’t smoke but for decades probably 60 years breathed in second hand smoke from others. Both say do everything you can for yourself and help others if you can. They are concerned about the amount of chemicals in the environment and how it might effect their children.
They probably have great genes and are healthy in spite of their diet and lifestyle not because of it, something that all centenarians share, Jeanne Calment smoked until she was 117, I doubt that's why she lived until 122. Attia explained it in his book, but for "normal" people, not blessed with those genes, they have to watch what they eat and exercise in order to live a long healthy life.
Then your folks won the genetic lottery. Congratulations. Additionally, I’d bet they were a lot less sedentary than many western country populations are now.
Great genes! God bless them.
The processed foods we have today did not exist. Thank you for sharing their story. It sounds like they not only take care of themselves, but they also take care of each other. And I'm sure live with gratitude.
@@rp2895 I have to get a mammogram and mri twice a year because both of my parents and sister had breast cancer although none died from it. My mom and sister took premarin and back in the 80s I told them that if they get breast cancer from it dont come crying to me. My dad didnt know men get breast cancer so his went into his lungs and had stage four breast and lung cancer. When they put a feeding tube down his throat he got a little nutso so they told my mom he had to leave the hospital. She put him on a very healthy diet and he even started to drive again and went to the senior olympics and danced. On a check at the hospital they put on a cuff too tight and he ended up staying at the hospital and caught pneumonia and died. Avoid hospitals at all costs.
That is a doctor I would TRUST.. Love him for saying there is more I don't know than I do know. True HONESTY 👍
I’m glad that you’ve expanded the discussion to “what are we actually doing it for”. I’ve been neglecting my body for long enough now, so now at the age of 47 I’m paying for it with too much too carry around. I’m very serious about changing it 🥰

I just started the carnivore diet 8 days ago because I feel lousy, have autoimmune conditions, my immune system is so compromised, and I struggle to keep my weight where I want it. I've decided that enough of refined sugars, no more seeded oils, no more processed food, and eating healthy fats and lean protein. I used to exercise like crazy, but a lot of life struggles, a single parent of a profoundly autistic child who acts like a 2 year-old in a 22 year-old body, a nasty divorce, loss of my mother, a direct hit from a cat 5 hurricane, and pandemic. I need to start exercise again, but I don't have energy or time to live in the gym like I did in graduate school. I'm already feeling better in just 8 days. America has something like approximately 41 to 42 percent obesity now!!! It was 15% in the 80s. I don't believe exercise or less of it can account for the processed foods, hormone disruptors, and refined sugar leading to insulin resistance.

Peter’s emphasis on the breath and segmental control of the spine, scapular control etc are all things that are taught in a good yoga class :)
Peter Attia is one of the most compassionate and humble people I've ever watched while being exceptionally intelligent. Loved this video 👏
Intelligent yes, but humble??? 😧
Compassionate? How so? I don't think he's a bad person at all, but he works in a boushie, very expensive "longevity practice," outside the restraints of health insurance for the very wealthy only. Other than that, an author, speaker, influencer, and entrepreneur. None of these are bad or greedy, but where do you see compassion?
@@erikvanderveken1408 I don't know him, don't know anyone that knows him. I can't say from afar, as you are doing, whether he's compassionate, altruistic, apathetic, a good guy or not. I don't think it's fair to make judgements of people by their public persona. I was just curious how someone could is all.
And you think writing a book is "compassionate." Why? Is it free? Are the proceeds being donated? Non profit? Have you read the book? Where in the book does he express compassion? It's an uncomfortable think to have someone challenge your perceptions I know. But if you want to make them public, you should be willing to defend them I think.
@@Joseph1NJ Hi Joseph, yes I do have his book actually.
I fully accept that I may have some rose-tinted glasses on as I'm a great admirer of his work.
No, obviously the book isn't free, as it shouldn't be. He obviously worked very hard to acquire his knowledge and authority status and he should be rewarded relative to the value he provides, that's fair.
In MY opinion, and I will stress that it is MY opinion and I do not claim this to necessarily be true, if someone from the medical community comes out, after a lifetime of research, that not some medical intervention or pil, or HIS diet and products to buy to solve all your problems, I think it comes from a place of "wanting to genuinely help people live better lives".
As someone living in Ireland, even if went ahead and did all the scans and tests he recommends for cancer screening etc. he wouldn't make a single dollar on it, there is nothing in his book that sounds anything like "buy this product that I sell on my website, blablabla". It's all actionable stuff he clearly believes in a lot, and it is to the benefit of whoever reads it.
I genuinely believe every single human on the planet should read this book and apply at least some of its learning to their life to increase their quality of life.
At the end of the day, everyone needs to eat, and if you can make a good living while simultaneously serving the people, more power to you.
Edit: Compare this guy, to let's say Dave Asprey who concocted some boloney stories about funghi in normal coffee and his coffee of course being the only coffee being without these funghi present? and all of the other pseudo science he peddles.
Clearly he's coming at this game with very different motives.

Love your podcasts Tom, excellent job.. and thank you for enlightening folks and helping bring this knowledge to an understandable level for Americans. They should pay close attention!
You learn 99% of what he says in medical school. Our medical system basically (high degree of specialization and paying high $ for highest specialists) leads to residencies that focus on a very small part of the picture. So you don’t forget it, you just don’t use it, and don’t continue to “practice it”. I can assure you that we learned all this stuff in medschool and more. I’m just not as smart as him 😆… no seriously, I’m a subspecialist, I don’t do what he does for a living. He doesn’t do what I do for a living. He is very good at telling the story and putting it all together.

This channel is mind blowing. I love the superior quality of the interviews. I am suffering with life threatening bad health. My blood pressure is 247/106, my kidneys hurt, I have stage 3 kidney disease, coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, fatty liver disease, Pre Type 2 diabetes, recovering from a heart attack from 2018, obese (height 5ft 10 inches and weighing 18stones. I should be 11stones 10Lbs), degenerative bone disease and memory loss. I am also suffering from long COVID and lots of family stress at home. I feel like I could be dead any time now and am trying to beat my condition. My body weight was 22st and 7Lbs back in 2021. I now weight 18st which is too heavy. I purchased a Life Fitness treadmill on Jan 2021. It took me 3 months to even get on it, because my condition was so bad. What I use the treadmill for is for gentle walking while holding onto the treadmill grip handles. This encourages blood circulation around the body. The death trap for me, which was killing me dead is the lack of movement and depression due degenerative bone disease, breathlessness, due to obesity, heart problems and long COVID.
My joints are crippled. It really hurts to walk, bend over or do anything. I need to get down to 13stones as a matter of urgency. Everyday I wake up is a blessing and I thank god for allowing me to live and giving me access to this life changing channel. Thank you for sharing this incredible interview.

Hi Kelly, I am a lot worse. I am suffering with worsening debilitating conditions by the day. I have a major problem which needs urgent attention. Due to my obesity I have a hernia below my belly button which has swollen to painful levels. The hospital told me that in addition to my obesity, it is the hernia which is also contributing to my high blood pressure which measured 257/140 on 10/10.2023. The problem I have is that my blood pressure is by far too high for them to operate on me. I could have a heart attack during surgery. I have to also be careful that I do not develop a strangulated hernia or else this could be the end for me. I have been on a 24hr no food fast for the last 5 days and am starting a 36hrs fast from tomorrow.

It's interesting to me, as someone with a lifetime of experience with eating disorders I was watching this thinking "Tom, you have orthorexia." and then you go ahead and pose the question yourself! That just proves your level of self awareness, and makes me respect your channel even more. Cheers
Why is orthorexia considered an eating disorder? Focusing on eating healthy is beneficial to our health especially in a country where everything is so highly processed and devoid of nutrients.
@@notnow7829I think when it’s taken too far and the thought or action of eating unhealthy food leads to problems in other areas of their lives. It should be a healthy mindset where you have the intrinsic motivation and forethought to eat healthy but also not shake yourself for eating unhealthy every once in a while.
@@notnow7829Because if you have orthorexia you obsess about eating healthy to a degree that can damage your overall well-being.
Orthorexia is a bullshit term invented by big pharma to keep people sick by saying making them believe that a "balanced diet is healthy.
I’m excited for Tom to test out a new Peter prescribed routine and report back to us on his findings.
Peter is such a brilliant man who speaks his truth as he learns more from his experience and learning. ❤ nothing better then speaking truth because we learn real stuff then just trying to get profits from audience. You gentlemen❤❤ help society as a whole!!!🎉
You'd be better off if you stop saying dumb stuff like "his truth". There is no personal truth. Something is either true based on facts, or it's not, there's no personal truth or subjective truth. If you're trying to say "opinion" then you already have a word for it
Tom does an amazing job pushing back on the guests and forcing out the information we're all thirsting for. It's something that's so lacking with so many interviewers.
100% agree. He’s super talented at drilling down, forcing his interviewees to make it make absolute sense. I wish I had this gift.
for sure, and in a non-confrontational way.
I'm glad to hear it still comes down to the basics- strength/muscle, cardio fitness
My mom will be 93 in 5 months. Eats whatever she wants. Lots of black coffee. Hot dogs. Hamburgers. Bread. Never smoked a cigarette. Never drinks alcohol. Doesn’t exercise. Lol. Living on her own still. She did take very good care of herself when she was young, did yoga and exercises like sit ups and leg lifts etc. and never ate fast food. Sweets only on holidays and no snacks between meals. She has hypertension but nothing else wrong. Looks like she is 80.
Sounds like she has good genes.
If I make 80 I'll be good, I hope your Mom lives past 100.
hmmmm, because she worked hard on own body dude in early days thats why she can enjoy old age
One thing that wasn't discussed here is that hypertrophy v. hyperplasia of the fat cell is largely under genetic control. So alot of people will get insulin resistant at much lower body weights than others. The indian population is a case in point but of course many people have this problem. Absolutely very happy to listen to Peter Attia and have read his book. He's so articulate and hugely knowledgeable.
Oh my god, you hit on what I'm most interested in. Is there any way to direct fat cells to healthy reproduction instead of leaking? It's all genes?
@@mark__1971 I think genetics plays a part in the set point or point at which they leak and in some it happens even at relatively low body weights. Actually instead of the fat cell dividing (healthy metabolically safe even if aesthetically annoying it keeps swelling becomes metabolically dysfunctional and then spills
This is also related to adverse childhood experiences. interesting epigenetic implications!

yeah he’s literally wrong in this interview
This was a phenomenal interview, Tom! Great insights and questions. I loved Peter's book, and this helped me get even more out of it. Throughly enjoyed, thank you.
For cancer, a book I like is Dr. Jason Fung's "The Cancer Code".
Excellent interaction between the two of you-a genuine conversation
Its quality of life, not quantity of life, we need to be aiming for. Quality longevity is reaching 95+ and still healthy enough to take care of yourself and bounce on a mini tramp 💪
Full-sized tramps, too. 😊
what a conversation you two are having. so interesting. this informaion is much closer to how I normally feel about my diet, exercise, blood tests, bench marks and such. except for the wild game that is. way to go!
Why are we making things so difficult, just consume the Mediterranean diet, walk, run, and do some weightlifting for 45 minutes to an hour and relax about the health craziness.
I think there are a lot of people scared to death day in and day out.
Just giving your intestines a break of at least 6 hours, is good advice, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner story plus the snacks in between is just a commercial concept.
People as hunters were used to two meals a day back in the day.
One really
Yup. Keep it simple, stupid. 😆
Loving this one so far Tom. Always asking all the questions I have and really getting into the details/nuance that a lot of us other health consumers want to know. Extracting all the knowledge possible from the guest’s brain😈
One of the best PeterA interviews I've watched. Nice job
Peter has a great point about the cow that is slaughtered at the end of its life and the surge of cortisol that is pumped into its bloodstream from the stress of that process.
As a kidney transplant patient with sensitivity to cortisol and adrenalin I can tell you when I eat beef I experience mild symptoms similar to consuming caffeine which I believe is due to the levels of cortisol in the beef. That's why I no longer consume beef as it has the highest amount of cortisol compared with other meats.
Interesting, thank you for sharing
Cows do not experience stress when they are slaughtered ..it happens in a second ..(the cow never knew what hit him.)..their is not any level of cortisol in meat ..since cortisol is a hormone found in the blood and the cows are drained of their blood ..any cortisol or adrenaline you are experiencing comes from your own body and it's reaction to eating meat .
@@mslice09You obviously have never been to a slaughter house or slaughter a cow, ignorance is bliss.
I eat rib eyes and ground beef everyday. This is the best I've ever felt in my life and I'm skinny now. #carnivoreforlife
If I may add to the conversation, considering my experience in the field of radiology. Longevity tends to favor medium to small frame individuals. Gravity really takes its toll in older age; the smaller, the better.
So true. Just my own observations while visiting retirement communities tells me that the oldest and yet most spry and energetic people have lighter, smaller, and somewhat svelte frames.
Not true ..there are many tall centennials.
Unbelievable fucN show. I loved this information, just found out I had diabetes 35 days ago and my numbers are great now without taking medication in last 4 days because of shows like this. Thank you guys
Love listening to all the people you bring Tom, if you like to eat, you listen these advices which are great and eat 4 meals a day, if you don’t like to eat you listen the IF promoters😂health wise, only the IF helped me and I have over 80% muscle MASS with 2 meals a day🤷♀️
I am 68. While I have exercised at times in my life, often quite vigorously, eg swimming, weights...but I hated running.
Recently after losing 25 kg, and being on keto, I was walking across a large oval in the sunlight and I had a sudden urge to run. I enjoyed the run even though it left me panting and sore.
Wont do it again too often, but I can subjectively know that I could enjoy running around an oval.
I always hated running.
Now that I have lost 30lbs and can run/walk a bit better I find myself enjoying it.
That’s. Me. I Have a daughter. Who died at an young age. Of cancer. I just can’t over it. That’s 2017. And I’m still grieving
Tomorrow I realize it’s been 50 yrs since my brother died in a car accident. I have been grateful for the time I had that he didn’t and I miss him and what might have been his life.
I'm so sorry for your loss... I'm sure your daughter would be proud to see you're still continue your journey on Earth even if you're still suffering and probably also have a hard time thriving on a day-to-day basis.
I hope you'll find in your hearth the strength to go out and do what you used to love doing.
And never forget that your daughter is now accompanying and protecting you each and every second of your existence wherever you are and that she wish for you to be happy.
All my love to you ❤
@boatbikeandbeyond1376 same for you and your brother... I'm sending you all my love ❤
Hugs to you. I pray happiness finds you again.
I am always amazed at how these incredibly knowledgeable people can blindly attribute the massive complexities of the human body to some unknown source and process called evolution instead of acknowledging we have an all powerful Creator.
Love your videos Tom, they’ve helped me so much, you’re such an amazing human being. Keep doing what you’re doing. I hope you get to read this:)
Thank you for your amazing work here, I just think that even at young age is better to eat healthy! Not neurotic about food because the stress management is another really important pillar on health 🙏🏻 it’s important to have balance at all the four pillars, Food, exercise, detoxification (environmental toxins, air pollution, chemical products including everything you use at your skin, house, how you store your food, and your sleep, that helps a lot at this pillar and stress management who helps your hormones, neurotransmitter and digestion as it helps your autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic stimulation) - meditation, breathing techniques,improving your thoughts and emotions as well as being in peace with your ancestral and practicing gratitude and forgiven ❤
Another thing Dr Westman and Lustig have stated that if you have lower triglycerides and higher HDLs than your total colestoral is not a concern.
Thank you millions Peter Attia. A remarkable brilliant and beautiful being whose work for humanity is beyond important.
Love you tons.
I got your book today.
Thank you Tom, all my love to you too.
Attia is getting majority of his protein (and calories in general) from animal sources. According to a previous guest on this show, Dr. David Sinclair, (whole food) plant-based eating is one of the keys to longevity
I remember seeing a quote somewhere, it's more about what u don't eat than what you do.
What a wonderful and detailed explanation! I've learned so much from listening attentively to the both of you. Thank you Mr. Tom Bilyeu for this great interview with Mr. Peter Attia; God bless you guys 🙏🌹
Well, this was eye-opening.
It seems that over the course of ten years, we are getting paradigm shifts every twelve to eighteen months through new research. The good news is we are improving our health and understanding with each iterative shift.
My metabolic health has improved significantly over a year through just nutrition and time-restricted eating. I lost twenty lbs and a lot of visceral fat and felt better than I ever have. HOWEVER, I only focused on nutrition without much regular exercise. I was humbled recently after I stopped taking my lifelong prescription of Allopurinol about a year ago. Unfortunately, My chronic inflammation returned manifesting in gout attacks after six to eight months. I still feel I can whip my genetic predisposition to gout by further improving my metabolism through exercise combining aerobic and strength training.
Great job on picking this brilliant mans brain, Tom. Peter Attia has such a wealth of knowledge on health and lifespan it's not easy to know what to focus on even in a long format podcast, but this was a very satisfying talk to get to listen to.
Electrolytes fasting
At 126 lbs, wrestling, cross training and doing sports for fun at 20-21, I often ate 8,000-12,000 calories per day (big breakfast, lunch, dinner and several major snacks, drinking and party snacking about 2-3 nights a week, etc). My VO2 Max was 90, my resting heart rate was 32, and blood chemistry was excellent. I felt really good all the time in terms of energy, etc. By graduation, i changed my diet massively to the better by today’s standards and I finally learned what feeling great meant.
ZZZZZZZ

I would highly recommend getting an SHBG level and calculating your actual free testosterone level. It is key when determining a patients baseline status and determining the appropriate dosing protocol moving forward with hormone optimization. Of course you will want to also have a full hormone panel, not just testosterone, to establish your overall baselines.
He was quoting his free T. You get an SHBG when you order androgen levels. Free T is calculated from total T, SHBG and albumin.
To try and find an opposing viewpoint or a critique discouraging fasting, one video I liked is from Thomas DeLauer titled, " 5 newest advancements in fasting science that have changed my mind".
Great discussion! Felt like Tom had a lot of fun with this one and learned so much, so did I, thanks!!!
Great interview. I’m 61 & live a fantastically great life 👍👍. Super fit, strong & full of vitality … nothing spoken here surprises me….
This was fantastic. I could listen to Peter Attia all day.
Too many ads!
I love that you ask the questions that I want to know the answers to almost as I’m thinking them myself. That’s so awesome. I love watching your videos.
I will stick to eating one meal a day and train in a fasted state even if Dr Attia thinks it doesn't do any good. He'll change his mind in 20 years when science catches up. This guy has been wrong more than once in the past. But he is very articulate, that's sure. Great show by the way.
Agreed. Very true!
I'm a skeptic of anyone putting a lot of faith in any "scientific study" just about all of them are seriously flawed or bought by some special interests.
I have a hard time thinking how our ancestors could get a very specific amount of protein around 40g per meal four times per day. Surely they were eating larger amounts and then going longer periods between eating.
@Fresh_N_Fit that's my thoughts too. A lion will go a long time without a meal and then finally gets a kill and devours the whole animal
Same here
1) How much protein do we need? 2) What happens to excess protein in the body? 3) Soybeans typically contain around 36 grams of protein per 100 grams. They are considered one of the richest plant-based sources of protein available. On the other hand, steak's protein content can vary depending on the cut and fat content. Lean cuts of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin, typically contain around 20-25 grams of protein per 100 grams. However, fattier cuts like ribeye or T-bone steak may have slightly lower protein content due to the higher fat content. Therefore, if we compare soybeans and steak in terms of protein density, soybeans come out as the winner with a higher protein content per 100 grams. However, it's worth noting that steak can be a source of protein even if it falls short of soy in most all nutrients. With 0 cholesterol, tons of fiber, potassium, and iron.
I was skinny and looked fit but I was pre-diabetic. Felt horrible until I started to change my eating habits.
What did you change?
@@ItssBrian started fasting and cutting off carbs.... but it's hard when everything is carbs these days
Carbs are amazing for active people
@@loosecannon6142not necessarily
@@onepunchflan3071 Studies have proven this point. It helps with mood and increases testosterone aswell as giving higher performance for athletes, all that with no downsides when eating at moderate amounts.

Wow, too much confusion. When it comes to health and nutrition, it is getting too confusing. There is such a thing as TMI. TMI without wisdom is useless. What I have learned and implementing is working for me, so I'll adjust when and if I have to. Thanks, Tom. You make a lot of good counter-points.
Totally agree. Moderation is the way for me.
Right on, Tom. Love the back and forth between you guys. Great questions as always.
I still shocked by people saying Cancer is a Genetic Disease! This is probably the reason why we have barely move the needle in 50 years. Thomas Seyfried is an expert in this field.
probably a misunderstanding. Cancer is a disease of DNA. Most people think of Genetic disease as inheritable disease. Sometimes the reason why you have problems in DNA is due to inheritable defects.
I really really enjoyed this conversation. I did not understand very much but it’s amazing the passion and knowledge you have to give us that want to learn. Thankyou Dr Attia and Tom!
Very well distilled information . Great job Tom with your questioning and Peter with his clarity .
Learned a lot
Needs a relisten
I’ve listened to many interviews with Peter about his new book and in each one I learn more, but one thing that’s not clear to me is whether the research that shows the importance of strength and cardio-respiratory fitness to lifespan and health span has been done mostly on men or equally on men and women.
Ok Tom, it’s only a matter of time until you have Eckhart Tolle on ❤
That would be a phenomenal episode 💯🔥
Dr. Attia continues to amaze me. Just ordered his book.
1st video I've seen of yours, Tom. Incredible back and forth. Subscribed.

This is the best health podcast I have heard in years. Thanks UA-cam.
Thank you!
What do we do with the statement that autophagy during fasting has only been studied in rats?
I thought that there were human studies done, and this had been sound knowledge for some time. Now all of the sudden there is no evidence.
Perhaps an episode with a few experts with different opinions discussing it could help.
I love how one week we have Dr Gundry with claims that are not supported by teh majority of evidence and then another week we have Peter Attia who is so commited to following the evidence and science that he is always updating his perspective and sharing his journey.
In general, I like what Attia has to say, but come on guys. The data on sumo wrestlers is easily findable: On average, sumo wrestlers live 10-15 years shorter than the average Japanese person, typically dying in their late 60s or early 70s. Yes, there are outliers that live into their 80s. There. are. always. outliers. You can also easily find data on the health of people in other countries that don't eat garbage on a daily basis. When you start looking at it objectively, diet may not be increasing your lifespan, but it 100% can increase your healthspan. And remember: There. are. always. outliers.
I like hearing about prolonged fasting vs daily intermittent fasting, I've been doing 3-6 day fasts 1-3x a month and I've felt much better than with daily if
I disagree with what he says about diet not having a massive impact on longevity. I was 300lbs, type 2 diabetic, fatty liver disease, triglycerides through the roof, liver enzymes off the charts, high blood pressure, developing atherosclerosis etc etc the list goes on and on... After researching how all this happening to me I started carnivore and it is literally ALL GONE... all of it and I am now 220lbs... and all this happened in 6 months flat. My skin changed.. it looks so much healthier somehow.. i feel so good, mentally too. Who knows how many things in my body have changed for the better that Im not aware of. Getting rid of metabolic syndrome has increased my chances of living longer greatly its that simple.
The carnivore diet works, without a doubt. Good for you!
I do agree with you. You are living proof of what you did. Keep going😊
He was pretty clear that extremely unhealthy diets cause bad health outcomes. Your diet and lifestyle has to have been very extreme to reach 300lb, so you would qualify for that definition. This is more about people with normal BMI say 23 BMI and how much influance a super healthy eating pattern vs a average eating pattern has on them. And than recognize that exercise has more health benefits compared to the perfect diet.
Congrats on turning your life around. I tried Carnivore diet 3 times and never lasted more than a week on it. Got bad heart palpitations and my sleep basically went to zero. But i am now in the middle of the healthy BMI range through exercise and counting calories. I just need to keep the junkfood out of the house.
@@Bertuzz84 good for you buddy... i love hearing from others how they have turned things around and gotten healthy again. About my 300lbs... my diet wasnt all that extreme at all.. i was eating what I was told by government is healthy...wheat and grains, lots of fruit and veggies.. over 20 years i slowly got fatter and fatter and developed metabolic syndrome. Im not alone, this exact same scenario plays out for countless millions who have been lied to about what's healthy to eat. Im someone who rarely ate deserts or sodas.. almost never actually... yet i still became type 2 diabetic and got NAFLD and was heading for a heart attack. I didnt even know how unhealthy I was... the lousy doctors Ive had over the last 2 decades never said a word to me. If I had kept taking their advice Id die from a heart attack without ever been told it was going to happen.
@@AbBc-w4q Yes i do agree that the government promoted diet is high in carbs, and low in satiating protein rich food. Atleast where i live the main government aim seems to be to promote a diet lower in meat especially. And meat consumption here is already way lower compared to America.
PCP's seem pretty useless for health advice. Mine had a big belly and was breathing heavy. He was clearly overweight and had no passion for healthy living.
Thanks Tom. Dr. Attia is the man. He has really helped me change my life and focus! Happy New Year!
We need Tom, Bryan Johnson and Peter in the same room and discuss this…
it was refreshing to hear Peter Attia fully explain Lipo protien and cholesterol and that it's not the cholesterol perse but the type of lipoprotein carrier that's important
And you should get that measured!
Visceral fat is definitely a problem and that’s what got me listening, but then this conversation went off the rails IMO. How many centenarians are exercise junkies? And how many exercise junkies live until they’re really old? My grandmother lived until 3 months off her 100th birthday. Her favourite sport was sitting doing crosswords and her idea of a good meal was a biscuit, a cup of tea and a cigarette. True story.
1:11:00 cholesterol. 1:19:40 dietary cholesterol
Recent studies have shown that glycogenesis only occurs IF our bodies need it. Not as a regular process as we once thought. So no, excess protein doesn't just get converted to glucose when we over eat it. Our bodies can't use it either.
I believe it's the opposite. Food is medicine. Organic, plant based foods will give you more life than stressful and damaging workouts. Yoga, meditation, dance. That's all we need.
Or combine both? Organic whole food, plant based and working out besides this.
I'm 38 and became a type 1 diabetic in 2018. I both love and dread watching Peter because I'm reminded every time that I'm going to die much younger.
400 push ups and 5hrs/day is the very definition of over training. Very few understand how to have recovery periods to enable advancement.
yeah, he was just over doing and also neglected full flexibility
The millions of podcasts with bold titles that are 2 hours long, that suction your time into an abyss, dark hole and you realize where did my time go. Run as fast you can before they get you.
This is just a casual observarion from living in Japan. From news reports about deaths of former sumo wrestlers, many don't seem to have a long life expectancy.
I've never been the type of person to exercise but I'm still pretty healthy and seventy-one. I've never been the type of person to walk, or run. But I do eat a good diet and I believe it'll be a long time before I kick the bucket.
I call some BS. I have done 16:8 IF for 3 years. A year ago I started weight lifting and eat way more protein. I have bulked up very good and continue to do so. Second, you know, Tom, that there are studies showing autophagy increases longevity. Yes, I would agree exercise is key to autophagy and not just IF. That being said, we need to consider Mitochondria.
Amazing questions, Tom.. super well done. Watching for a 2nd time.
I’m a walker, snd swimmer. When I lost 20 lbs, knees stopped hurting me.
i need to learn to swim, any tips?
Key to exercise is make sure you're not causing chronic injuries.
Yes it probably extends your lifespan somewhat, but the time you gain is likely similar to the time spent exercising to attain the effect. So unless you really enjoy the exercise it's kind of neutral in terms of actual useful time gained. The real benefit of exercise is in higher quality of life, feeling better, being stronger, having more endurance, more energy. Especially as you pass from middle age into old age, maintaining these capacities avoids many of the limits most people over 60 seem to suffer.
But again... these benefits can be neutralized completely or driven into negative territory if you cause yourself chronic injuries from joint damage, connective tissue tears, repetitive impact, repetitive strain. These will limit you greatly, especially in old age. I've never met any serious powerlifter, weightlifter, or bodybuilder who doesn't have shoulder problems from imbalance and repeat injuries. Most have knee and back issues too.
Similarly only some of the lightest runners seem to get away with decades of running without knee, hip, or foot problems. Bicyclists have their own chronic injury set. Virtually every sport does, probably largely due to overuse and overstraining of low bloodflow connective tissues and joint tissues... exceeding their limited capacity for repair especially as you age.
I expect the key here is to mix a variety of training movements and a variety of training stress levels and volume levels and supplement these with extra recovery boosting activity such as sauna, cold baths, passive + active stretching, and some low stress steady state stuff like walking or swimming.
Damn, he is such a powerhouse of information!
We should definitely have another interview with Peter Attia! 💪
@crazy - he's all over youtube, just put his name in the search bar, and watch away! He's got a ton of exposure.
powerhouse of misinformation
@@Healthnutpb can you elaborate ?
Good questions/interview. Life long dancer at age 63 here. Some movements I can do as well as I did when I was 20. But like Peter has stated the limiting factor is O2 consumption and POWER....plus any orthopedic issues. I take 10-20 mg Prednisone daily for polymyalgia, an autoimmune disease, and I find that it gives me an abundance of energy, likely due to higher blood glucose and perhaps muscle glycogen. It also takes away most of my pain, which can cause me to feel weak and powerless. I'm 5 foot 8, 133 lbs, male, and trying to get to 8% body fat, so I'm on high protein, low fat, lower carb diet. At 133 lbs, I'm finding I only need 1300-1400 calories per day to sustain my current weight, even with 2 hours cardio(dancing/brisk walking) and 15 to 25 to 45 lb weights. It's crazy low amount.
There is evidence that prednisone causes cancer...you can increase your O2 and strength as you age ..you have to eat more and lift heavier.weights to gain muscle power and bone strength.Miranda Esmonde White ( Classical Stretch /TV show) is still flexible and dancing at 75.😮
The host is sooooo into himself! I’d hate to be someone that would have to depend on him. It feels like he would leave you behind in a heartbeat to get another 5 years of life. That all by yourself thing they spoke of isn’t far off for him.
Only because he has a strong will to live doesn't mean he doesn't care for and love others at all. He built his business to a large extent to support and provide for his beloved wife.
@Whitefang Water I always like the ones who talk about hot tubs and sauna before bed. Rhonda Patrick recently was talking about her outdoor hot tub beneath the stars before bed and I saw another talking about the sauna before bed. They all have this in their homes and it's hilarious how they talk as if we can all jump into our outdoor hot tubs before bed or take $200 of supps a week. Also they all talk like we have all day free like them to exercise strength, muscle mass, cardio, flexibility, balance etc not to mention of course the morning routine of sunlight for my circadian rhythm. We normal plebs have jobs. We don't have the time these people have or their wealth.
Definitely gives off the impression that he prioritizes his needs over everyone else’s. Having kids would be a big adjustment for that guy.
He does, he’s a notorious narc
@@scottymackay1801 true thats why I belive more in diet, its less time consuming lets say and it doesnt need to be super expensive either
Of ALL those that have interviewed Dr. Attia you are Head & Shoulders in a different league!!!
Thanks for the PRODIGIOUS interview 💪🏽💪🏽
Having analyzed all the Drive show notes over the years, I find it hard to believe that Attia has sincerely come to some of these conclusions regarding diet. He seems to have embraced certain industry messaging, particularly regarding statins. I find Ken Berry MD and Paul Saladino MD's messages (and perhaps a middle ground between the two) to be more authentic.
