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

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

Peter Attia talks to million of viewers about the thoughtful ways he manages testosterone levels, why it is good, why it is safe the way he does it, and so on, but then Peter doesn't seem to see the connection to why TRT clinics are so popular. It'd be nice if all these podcasters with large audiences would acknowledge how they are driving the modern interest in TRT, especially since they also think those TRT clinics are terrible!

[@Dumppump]

My mother was a nurse and later, a course coordinator at a top University for the nursing. She explained to me during my depression, that GPs are essentially trained to aim at medication solutions for your health problems. They are not so much general health professionals as assessors and highly educated medication prescribers. That and general restrictions to obvious things like bad food, alcohol and smoking. My GP is great, but he thinks being over 170lbs at 6ft for a guy of 30 isn't good, and when I said what about putting on muscle, aiming for 190 lean, he said that was unnecessary and not healthy. He is also in his late 60s, so.

As far as posture, do you think bent over laterals to strengthen the rhomboids are enough? (I do those too)...or is something more needed for posture? About 'gravity'...yah I was making that distinction, initially... gravity as a force (which he could have meant) vs. gravity, as in a grave situation. I do think he meant the latter.

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

[@serg1740]

PLEASE make a clip of the piece on women’s hormones for your KZbin clips page. I need to share that portion with every woman and doctor I know. The part about progesterone could literally save women’s relationships, careers and even their lives. I did my own research recently at 42 because my endocrinologist, OBGYN and primary pretty much said my symptoms are normal hormonal age related stuff. Just last week I got my own lab work done on day 20 of cycle and found that my progesterone was at absolute post menopausal levels and I haven’t had menopause yet. They immediately put me on progesterone RX and apologized for not listening. I know other women my age suffering and possibly unnecessarily because doctors and society have taught us that feeling crazy anxiety at times of the month are normal.

[@misharamage5529]

I can’t agree more. I started peri symptoms around 37. Had blood work done. And because I was within “normal” range, no one wanted to do anything about it. I got to the point where I was experiencing hot flashes and missed periods and absolutely no hormone levels worth speaking about, before a Dr would do anything. I’ve been doing the bio-T pellets for 17 mths, and I’m still trying to get my Dr to find my correct dose. She did a blood panel before we started, and one about 6 wks after my first insertion. My testosterone was in the triple digits. She had 0 problem with letting me continue with that. I was trusting her to do another panel somewhere down the rd to see if I was leveling out. But, she didn’t. I started hair growth in places that I’ve never had before, and my libido was crazy. At the one yr mark from first insertion, I asked her if we should come down and she just wasn’t sure. I asked her to take it down. Then I had some break through bleeding. So we took estrogen down. Bleeding stopped. But had I not asked her, I’m certain I’d still be on that higher dose. It’s just not that important of an issue to most Drs. And that drives me crazy.

[@ysach.891]

I totally agree with that!

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

Did you get tested by your primary care doctor or did you have to outsource and pay out of pocket? I've brought up these concerns to my doctor also with zero effort to address it. How do you get started on this path?

[@catthompson1217]

@@karlacarbajal6383 I started with a good functional doctor who works with me rather than against me. We work together on my health so it’s a partnership. The functional doctor (should have experience with hormones esp bio identical ones) will test your hormone levels and then compound everything but the estrogen. The estrogen will come in a transdermal patch. It’s important to take a cocktail of hormones. I’m on testosterone progesterone and dhea with the estrogen patch. My insurance covers the patch but not the compounded hormones. Unfortunately, you’ll pay out of pocket for the doctors visits but I feel it’s well worth it. Honestly, I hate my primary care doctor. She’s useless. My primary care doctor did the same thing about not addressing it. So I just took her out of the equation. I hope this makes sense.

I know this is a big subject not often talked about I would love to have your views on this as such a huge part of the population are on birth control for 5+ years of their life! Thankyou for your content it has helped me immensely!

[@CAM-hc8ip]

Such a huge topic that everyone is simply not talking about. Women's birth control (most forms) have such massive detrimental effects on ladies health it's hard to quantify just how awful the side-effects truly are

[@LPurje]

It’s a tricky thing to talk about birth control’s negative side effects, but I’m sure the Hubs would do it right. That said, a book that has helped me navigate it all is Beyond the Pill. It at the very least pinpointed the hormonal imbalances I needed to work out. I can’t vouch for the entire book as I’ve kind of used it as a “choose your own adventure” book so far, but still. It is such a difficult thing to figure out and I’ve gone from feeling broken to having hope in figuring it out. Oh, and finding an ob gyn that listens to me has also helped tremendously.

This subject seems so important. There are so many concerns about the reactions some women have with BC. I’ve read the Fifth Vital sign, listened to a few different podcasts and have Taking Charge of Your Fertility on my shelf. It’s wonderful to go to for concerns and data. Thanks for bringing this up!!

@@LPurje I’ll have a look at getting that book Thankyou! As a 25 year old I’ve been on it since 18, prescribed my my doctor to help my skin as is the case for so many, for them to them come off after many years and get horrible side effects afterwards, adult acne being one of them!

Love this conversation! I am a male in my 40s and have a body of a 25year old. Been training TaekwonDo and progressed into other martial arts along with strength/prowerlifting, yoga, Isometrics plyometrics, calisthenics, while focusing heavily on perfection of nutrition and techniques. Full body from head to toe. Long term goal is to be the first 200year old male in modern times!

Almost 3 hours with such clever guys is just a breeze. Thanks for posting 👏

[@cassandrabennett9446]

This is the best interview of Dr Peter Atia that I have ever seen and I have seen a few. Your questions made his advice so much more practical and suitable for people of many different ages. Thank you 😊

[@Noegzit]

The part about statins and cholesterol is really not great. Minimizing side effects of statins and zeroing their cognitive side effects is unethical. Proposing to use them to increase longevity is a total nonsense.

[@gemsavage2321]

Yes, and it could of been more nuanced on statins. Nevertheless, it was far from disingenuous or unethical. 🤔

[@tyrelsjohnson]

I learned so much in this episode that is going to have a direct and quick impact on my health. I cannot thank you guys enough.

[@lhamed5013]

Dr Peter Attia must be cloned to elevate the way medicine is delivered. My favorite physician by far. No other physician is in the same zip code.

[@professionalsalonsolutions8608]

Thats so good! Attia's Rule. Love that! Great podcast as always! Excellent questions a.d conversation!

Wow , this podcast it's like review of 2 years of Medical/pharm school in 3 hour! Thank you for your great contributions in science.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! 68 yr old female that needs MORE exercise and LESS saturated fats (just got my lipid panel back) but it makes MUCH more SENSE since listening to every minute! Thx Andrew and Peter!

These two great minds together are MAGIC.

Never in my life did I think that I'll ever watch a 3 hr KZbin episode. Not until I watched you and Dr. Attia today. Such valuable gems. Thank you.

[@Jmewloo]

Shoutout to Huberman for always having his finger on the pulse in relevant health topics and acknowledging them. Genital sunning, sunscreen dangers, female birth control, etc. are all topics discussed on social media heavily but rarely acknowledged by health professionals/ scientists

[@PriusTurbo]

Amazing! I knew this was only a matter of time. These two may just be the most valuable human beings on the planet in the health space.

[@gisellesanjose2618]

Peter Atia was amazing!! Please have him back soon. Thank you!!

[@nonoffensiveperson9877]

Great episode! Dr. Attia can go on a tangent, prof Huberman is a great moderator to that.

[@michelerooney5907]

I can attest to Dr Kandel’s commitment to exercise and I had the incredible honor to be his private swim coach while I was a student at Columbia. I had forgotten about that until I listened to this amazing episode.

THE BEST TWO MEN TO LISTEN TOO ON TESTOSTERONE SUBJECT, PERIOD.

[@MKstudiovideo]

I have to say I was very surprised at how well Andrew Huberman asked the questions. They made this episode digestible even for those new to the subject which I really appreciate since by watching a lot of Peter Attia's work I often find it very difficult to digest his deep knowledge. Really awesome work both of you! I love you share this knowledge, if everyone would do the same, our world would be totally different..

[@tarynchristie7423]

Hi Dr. Huberman! I noticed that many of the episodes you have focusing on health, wellness, diet/nutrition, exercise, and specifically hormones had men as the guests. As a woman who loves science and really enjoys your podcast, I would love to see an episode with a woman in STEM describing some of these insights from the female perspective (specifically relating to exercise/nutrition and most importantly hormones). I know you’ve done recent episodes on this already, but I’m hoping this is something you can consider in the future. I’m sure the men speaking to these topics aren’t biased and are distinguished in their fields, but its hard to be sure that their research/experience gives women an equal focus. Keep up the great work :)

[@Alice-es2rs]

This is the most important Podcast I have heard for myself. Being a woman over 65 years, the subjects you debated concern me greatly and you gave precious information; which I would never be able to get from my General Practitioner,. As I feel their knowledge has not evolved since their medical school years?. A Massive Thank You.. ❤

[@austinkelley6567]

Dr. Huberman, Would it be possible to do an episode about spine/disc health? It seems that spine and disc health would nearly directly relate to health and life span. Thank you for another great episode!

[@fernando2yk]

What a seminar!! … with 2 of the most interesting physician /scientists on social media… and is free! 👌🏼

[@michelletotman6277]

Andrew Huberman always comes to the rescue as soon as I search someone or something Andrew has had them on his podcast.

[@MaggieMMM]

Cannot express how much I am loving this episode, all of this information Dr Attia is sharing is so interesting and so helpful. I am a 45 year old woman and I started strength training (and HRT) a few years ago and I absolutely love it, I push myself at every session and my goal is to stay as fit and healthy as I possibly can until the day I die. I work out with a great group of women and I try to encourage all the women I know to do strength training, I also take brisk walks everyday with my dog, and go on hiking trips a few times a year. I wish I’d started strength training years ago but I was always scared of getting bulky and of course that hasn’t happened. Thank you for your interesting podcasts Andrew 🫶🏻🏋🏼‍♀️

[@jonathanrayhargrove1]

Are you going through Dr. Attia? Whats his clinic called. I am starting HRT and I am going through core medical group. Its not full on TRT, but low HRT to try and kick start my T production. My T levels are low. 261. I would like to look around a little bit before I decide to use CMG for along time. It seems LIke Dr. Attia has a better understanding about it. Thank you

[@carolynmiller1971]

You make me LOVE learning the science topics I hated in school because you make them meaningful and accessible. I have a notebook and I write down everything I learn from all your podcasts. The part about VLDL, APOB, etc.. I know how to read my blood work with meaningful insight now, and not just looking to see if I'm in the right range.

[@leanncampomenosi3792]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the knowledge of others. More comprehensive information about menopause for women who have had hysterectomies, the effects, and bioidentical pellet therapy. Is pellet therapy a good option versus creams, patch, oral. Thank you so much.

I’ve been a fan of Peter’s for almost a decade. Just like you, I heard of him through Tim Ferriss. I’m a subscriber to his Private Feed podcast. I love that he gets into the weeds since I am truly an information junky! But this… this is actionable and functional info. I love the fact that you are able to pull the details out of him that are truly useful to living our best lives. This is by far my favorite production you’ve created. Sincerely… thank you!

You too need to do a regular like monthly or quarterly podcast together that would be absolutely amazing

[@adrianaradu9971]

This is not the probable but the most valuable podcast ever

[@marzmontgomery]

I could no sooner have started exercising than flown to the moon until I changed my diet and started taking lots of supplements, only then did I have the energy to even try. And yes, I'm listening to this while doing my 200+ minutes of exercise every week because of the changes I've made since starting your podcast. Don't discourage people from starting with whatever aspect of your advice that will get them on the path to health ❣️

Hands down The best podcast i listened to answering all the questions about optimizing health, especially HRT and cholesterol. Thank you thank you to both of you!!!

I've expected this collab to happen but still got pleasantly surprised when I saw the notification. Thank you very much Dr. Huberman!

[@LinkEX]

Same! Peter Attia has been a trailblazer in providing consumer information for health and performance in unprecedented quality. The Drive, Found My Fitness, and last but not least the Andrew Huberman Podcast are my three big pillars for a wealth of applicable knowledge. More specifically, latest findings that often provide almost new paradigms from public notions, which would otherwise be secluded within the ivory tower, haha. The value of their effort cannot be understated.
