Dr. Peter Attia: Improve Vitality, Emotional & Physical Health & Lifespan | Huberman Lab Podcast

In this episode, my guest is Peter Attia, M.D. He completed his medical and advanced training at Stanford University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Attia is host of the health and medicine podcast, The Drive, and the author of a new book, “Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity,” which examines disease prevention and healthy aging, including emotional health. He explains the leading causes of death worldwide and how to measure one’s risk of death and mitigate each risk factor. Dr. Attia shares how, in addition to blood-based markers of lipids and hormones, there are behavioral measures and interventions, and key aspects of emotional health (i.e., relationships, emotional stability, purpose, etc.) that fundamentally impact our physical health and longevity, and how to assess and adjust our emotional health. This episode is rich with actionable information related to disease screening and biomarker testing, nutritional, exercise, behavior and prescription-based tools that area useful to all people regardless of age, male or female, and that can significantly improve vitality, health and lifespan.

❤❤❤❤I'm a big fan of Andrew Huberman, and I'm glad he mentioned ethics in a positive manner, multiple times too. To note: BCAAs are delivered 30% more per gram via plant-based sources than their animal counterparts, and some companies realize this and go with them, besides to avoid animal abuse too. Sucralose is still considered dangerous to the gut bacteria. Most pre-workout mixes, BCAAs mixes, etc. use them. I was gonna maybe try some mixes with sucralose, but I realized it's not good, as I've known. Most energy drinks now have this. Red Bull is special. Hehe. Some Lazada search results have no-sucralose options, but plenty won't state if they're vegan, and the ingredients. One source even states 45 servings on a 30-servings bottle, as some reviewers pointed out. Supplementation of BCAAs isn't needed for anyone, and isn't superior. Those who didn't have enough BCAAs didn't have any lower survival rate or worsening of certain conditions. Some sites pump out propaganda (maybe unintentionally for some), that vegans only can get BCAAs from corn or soy, but they're also in seeds, beans, etc. Plenty of sources, even Harvard, have said propaganda against veganism that turned out false. Some people state that you cannot get all your protein from a vegan diet, but it's simply not true. Tofu has all the proteins, and humans consume more than one source of food anyways, so tofu isn't even needed for vegans. It sure isn't needed for gorillas, hippos, and others with muscles with big teeth that almost never eat meat. Hehe. Vegans are superior in BCAAs, EAAs, creatinine, recovery times, no clogged arteries, no excessive acids, no concerning saturated fat levels to cause diabetes, no high risk of cancer, no high risk of dementia, typically more consumption of phytonutrients, more energy, more clarity, tend to be better in weight and metabolism, etc. Hehe. #GoVegan 🌱💚😻🤝🤓✊🔥 Hopefully many superior vegan mockups in the kitchen of his and of everyone.

I've been listening to this episode for three days during my commute to and from work. Today was mostly the mental health portion at the end. Hearing Dr. Attia share his experience with his 'Bobby Knight' voice echoed much of my life. Hearing him share about all the things he was incredibly vulnerable about on this episode did something to/for me. I started a journey similar to his about a year ago when I had a relationship that meant very much to me end. I started working on an idea I have for a book around this topic, and I cried like I've been trying to do for almost a year. I'm finally starting to be able to grieve some of the things I feel like I lost in my life, or be able to go far deeper in my healing. I've listened to many episodes of your sharing and I love all of them, but this one especially has been a catalyst. Thank you so much.

Given his openness about it I think he's probably well recovered from that aspect of his personality which truly sounded horrific and toxic. I also experience negative self-talk quite often but it's not centered around anger about myself and people around me. Mine is more centered around anger and concern of wicked aspects of society and anger at the world conditions.

Talk about presence. That last half hour, I was completely engrossed. Thank you Peter Attia for being so vulnerable and for showing that there is a way forward from the past, but also showing your humanity. It's easy to look at people like you, and Huberman, and assume you guys are perfect in every way, and feel a bit less than as a result. We are all masterpieces, but we are all works in progress. Best Ep x

Attia and Huberman? Perfect way to start the week

[@77777jetta]

Andrew, you and Peter are my favorite Doctors/ Scientist ! Thank you so much for having Dr. Attia on your podcast! It is so cool to watch you guys do the Tango talk about longgivity! Andrew you must have Peter on your show again! Listening to you both, is like jumping into sea of knowledge! I just can't get enough! You two, young men keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Simply Awesome!

[@CalixtoErico]

This is the second time I listen to the episode start to finish. I feel as if I was slacking with my habbits and needed something to help me get back in gear, and this is it. Once again, Peter was a phenomenal guest and Andrew did an exceptional job conducting the episode. Thank you both.

[@FitnessAndLongevityWithHan]

I am 52 and have been bodybuilding for the last 39 years. When I turned 50 I had a bit of a midlife crisis because as fit as I was, I still had bodyaches. I was feeling old. Inc. stretching callisthenics yoga, all essentially the same type of thing. I also started moving around crawling on the ground and doing an Asian deep squat and other full range of motion, stretch movements. And thanks to Peter. I kicked up my VO2 max by incorporating zone two in zone five training. Exercise truly is the elixir of life as I feel 30 years old today at 52 .

[@lindaelarde2692]

I get graduate level instruction from every episode of Huberman Lab. The vulnerability of Dr. Attia's sharing emotional rehab and continuing effort to gain self awareness allows all of us listening to self reflect and evaluate what we may need to do to be better at self compassion and relationships. Thank you.

[@L7weenie562]

Way to go Andrew and Peter. Peter I thank you for sharing your story of going to therapy. My heart could feel your emotions.

[@tobyhooker4975]

The smiles on both of their faces at the end. Priceless. Both informative and respected individuals. Fantastic!

[@jrodartec]

Thank you Peter and Andrew for sparking such a tremendous interest for biology and health in me and many others. Comming from a consulting and technology career, I could never imagine myself deceloping such a profound interest for biology and health. I feel now much more connected with my brain and body, and multiple times better in taking care of myself, friends and family. In only a couple of months I managed to stop drinking, increase exercise, improve sleep and nutrition, and also increase the amount of time dedicated to friends, family and meaningful activities that contribute to my success. I am working less, but nonetheless working better, and feeling lower levels of anxiety. Also, huge thanks to this amazing community that makes this possible and economically viable - you rock!

[@cathy3701]

I watched this twice not only to absorb the science but to listen to Peter's heartfelt and very moving discussion of his recovery from emotional trauma. I have followed him for several years and I am deeply moved by his honesty and willingness to explore and resolve his trauma. This is a beautiful example of a very intelligent man accessing his heart and healing himself.

Can't wait to get Peter's book! My two favorite podcasters on the same episode, you bet I'll be listening to this one again. As a 50 year old all these topics around health span, lifespan, and longevity are very important to me and I've put many of these into practice and it changed my life.

[@etie_lahat]

This was to me more about friendship and being a man in our exponentially changing world, than anything else. Andrew, Peter, thank you for that. Watching till the end was so worth it. The knowledge shared was amazing but even more was the bond and courageous honesty.

[@robertknight9242]

I feel like everyone remotely interested in their health needs to watch this. Thanks again for everything you both do to educate the world about these topics!

[@deekana]

The whole episode is extremely useful and informative. I like the latter part the most. Being a perfectionist, and a scientist with a past experiencing abusive childhood and toxic relationship, I can totally relate with what he has been through. It's relieving to know that there are amazing, high-achieving and respectable people out there who have had similar struggles and are overcoming it. Thank you for your sincerity. I know it's not easy to openly accept and discuss our weakness. I appreciate and respect it a lot!

[@adrianbara5405]

First, I would like to thank you Andrew for all your work and for the benefits I have from it. I am following and listening to your podcasts for a while, but this particular episode made me address few words. For me is a special, very useful one, which I will recommend to all my dear ones. And the last part, especially the openness Peter had to share his own experience , was the cherry on the cake. Thank both of you very much! 👏

[@maryanndull3446]

Gentlemen, I can't Thank You both enough for the work you are doing, and the priceless health information that you are giving to anyone who bothers to listen. Every moment of this particular discussion has great value and I appreciate the time, energy, and intensity put into it. I really respect Peter's self disclosure on his personal mental health journey. It certainly resonated with me and things that I still struggle even though I worked as a Therapist for several years. As a Woman, there is nothing I like more than a Man who is very candid, genuine, and present "in the moment". Both of you Gentlemen are stellar examples of just that. Your affection for each other as colleagues and friends was extremely heartfelt and a great ending to this broadcast.

[@pulsechaintrainer780]

Awesome podcast, awesome guest, awesome host. Life changing book! Thank you Andrew and Peter for bringing true wellness to the forefront and teaching us to look for health indicators rather than the sick symptoms that most MD’s are scared to get away from. You both are true pioneers in the next wave of health, wellness and longevity.

When he shares his story at the end, it really shook me. Very beautiful. Thank you both. 🙏🙏💙👏

[@mashafastov]

I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an incredible podcast. It's not often that I come across something that truly captures my attention and makes me feel as though I've paused my entire life to listen, but that's exactly how I felt while watching and listening to your latest episode. Your knowledge and expertise are simply mind-blowing, and I couldn't help but take notes throughout the entire thing. I also wanted to touch on the friendship that you and your guest share. It's rare to see two successful adult men who cherish and respect each other in the way that you do, and it was truly touching to witness. It's clear that you both have a deep understanding and appreciation for one another, and it's a beautiful thing to see. Lastly, I wanted to thank Dr. Attia for sharing his vulnerabilities and talking about emotions. As someone who is currently learning to navigate their own emotional journey, it was incredibly helpful to hear a medical professional and scientist advocating for emotional health. As a nurse working in hospitals in the Bay Area, I can attest to the need for more open conversations about emotional wellbeing. Thank you again to both of you for creating such an amazing podcast. I can't wait for the book!

[@MrTMS71972]

Wow. Blown away. Thank you both - to Andrew for hosting this podcast and Andrew for being so open with the audience. A whole new level of respect for both of you.

[@alleyinn1]

I loved the end of this podcast where Dr Attia shared his story. Two brilliant, powerful "strong" men speaking with eachother about therapy and emotional growth was amazing- especially two ppl so renown in their feilds. Sometimes it can seem like certain people are perfect/have it all figured out. Sharing the vulnerabilities just makes you more incredible role models and examples. Hearing Dr Attia speak of his rage reminded me a bit of my father... and to some extent, myself. And when Dr Huberman gave him the compliment at the end it was beautiful to see that big, genuine smile light up Dr Attia's face. I dont ever think Id seen him smile like that. And he looks a bit like my dad which made it all the more moving. A powerful moment between men! Thank you 🙏🏾

I have been following both these gentlemen for a while now but this conversation is just so amazing and actionable. I recently got my labs done and its not a pretty picture.

[@1977dlove]

This episode is just perfect timing for me! I have a cardiologist appt tomorrow due to extremely high HDL, High LDL, and a 1st degree family member who passed of a heart attack at 42 years old. I'm 46/female, excercise 6 days a week (1/2 weight 1/2 cardio) & terrified of statins. This episode took the edge off my anxiety by giving me specific information on what to talk to my doctor about. I have listened to your podcasts since day 1. They have all been super helpful - however, this one very well may allow me to die WITH any issues I may have rather than because of them. Thank you, from the bottom of my calcified (well, hopefully not 😅) heart. You are a gift!

[@1977dlove]

Now that I'm listening to the rest of the podcast this evening, I can relate to the points made starting at 2:41 around emotional processing & recovery: struggles with being present, making amends, importance of community, & being able to identify & articulate feelings, and so much more. I've been sober for over 3.5 years and have an 8 year old child. It's quite amazing to experience and feel the effects of not only repairing damage I've done, but truly wanting to. ❤ I didn't truly "get it" until I accepted that I absolutely no desire to be here andymore and needed help. I often wonder if it's the suffering that allowed me to stop rationalizing and analyzing and if I would have ever made it here if had I not struggled to that level. Either way, I'm happy to hear more people talk about this part of life and thrilled to hear people asking questions about it. ❤

[@nybergjm]

I have so much admiration for Peter, particularly for someone who can be so open and vulnerable about these challenges - despite the fact that emotional vulnerability is exactly the thing that is so difficult for him. I hope to make the kind of self-growth that he clearly has. As a quick side-note and suggestion for a future podcast, I would love a video (or perhaps a series?) on strategies for new parents to enhance their ability to adapt to the challenges of early infant care (e.g., frequent night awakenings; chronic sleep deficits) and ways to quickly promote "homeostasis" in the home environment again (e.g., helping the infant sleep through the night as early as possible). For example, I would love to know what the literature says about morning sunlight viewing with infants and the effects it has on the infant's circadian rhythm. I know my infant daughter of 6 weeks typically won't open her eyes when we go "praise the sun" in the morning together, and I wonder if that might be because her eyes are just too sensitive to the brightness. Give it some thought, as I'm sure it would be enormously helpful for many new and expecting parents out there (including myself). Thanks for the excellent episode, Andrew!

[@Nah-ah]

I listened to this podcast over 4 days… and wow! Thank you so much for bringing Dr Attia on! I’m a bit late to this great man… I’ve heard of him over the yrs and watched a few reels of him and few minutes interviews but I didn’t realise how much I needed to hear him on this long form interview. Very fascinating and intriguing man. I found myself even rewinding and listening to some of the wisdom be shared especially his self reflection process on his healing journey. Great chat! Will definitely give him a follow! 👍🏽 Thanks, Dr Huberman!

Main stream medicine doesn’t tell us everything we need to know. We need you Andrew and Peter!

High blood pressure is very in line with non-vegan diets. Also, 5k or so MG of sodium is said to be healthy, in recent studies. I can do 3 or so ramen noodle packs a day with no issues.

I am a Clinical Psychologist (and actually also a fitness instructor) and I listened to this podcast and also to you on Attia’s podcast. I am so impressed with how both of you have used therapy in your lives. I have not practiced therapy for awhile because I think the current system is a mess. Please have a podcast addressing this and also trying to help people understand how therapy should be able to help them if the system worked better. Relationships are healing. Tools learned in therapy are healing. It isn’t perfect and it is a process. When I started graduate school in the 1980’s, most insurance paid 50% for unlimited sessions. Financial barriers now exist but so do barriers of resistance and shame. If more people understood and if somehow therapy was recognized as important to health and wellness and part of disease prevention ….maybe I can regain my faith in the system and even come back to help.

[@jordanbatka033]

Exercise and nutrition are the basics I encourage most people to start with that. When you feel you love yourself & are feeling relatively good you start reaching out to & caring about immediate family more then you have in the passed. Lastly, start taking chances on people you’re interested in if, if you want to hangout with a group of guy friends let it be known. If there’s a girl you like, let it be known. Those people need relationships too. Health, family, friends.

This was the first time I was truly surprised from the content in a Huberman Lab episode! I regularly my listen to these with my Monday exercise and continue throughout the week.
