Dr. Peter Attia - My NON-NEGOTIABLES to Live Longer (full interview)

[@jackMgood007]

Thomas you do awesome shows all the time but this one is the best 1 I have seen in a long time. Very eye opening and a lot of good info to take in here. Thank you so much I used to weigh 300 pounds before I started watching your channel. I've been maintaining 185 body weight or 3 and a 1/2 years now. Thank you! God-bless everyone

[@paddy3622]

agreed. beyond unacceptable.

[@harrisonschwartz565]

Wife is a nurse. Big issue is that the remaining nurses get overworked Bc of short staffing and then get burned out and quit… It’s really a broken system. Most of what they do anyway is prolonged dying people’s lives by a few months. Patients expect to be healed but all doctors and nurses can do is little things that might push your body in the right direction, but it’s the body that does the healing

[@kirstinstrand6292]

The reality is that traditional medical training is losing its glory. Men like Tom and Dr. Attia are beginning to outshine outdated and stagnant medical schools, who are showing less and less curiousity and critical thinking - all to keep Big Pharma in the driver's seat. Honestly, most medical specialists have little compassion or empathy. They are pure technicians that could easily be replaced by AI. I've learned more from Dr. Attia about how to prepare for a viable elder life than from "top notch" Neurologists or Internists that I've seen in the last 20 years. Absolutely no traditional doctors discuss anything about longevity. I honestly think traditional medicine is far inferior to treating our own medical issues on the Internet. 😂😅😊

I am a former fitness trainer/fanatic as well who turned into health and wellness coaching after first experiencing first hand that with exercise that it's not how long but how smart we exercise and also that often times less is more. I used to work out 10 times more than I do now and in spite of being 45, my biomarkers are better than when I was 35, even though I could run a marathon in 4 hours and do 50-70 push ups that I can't now. I was in a sympathetic nervous system from over exercising and eating too often the wrong things. I also was skinny as a rail in spite of eating at least 3k calories a day. Now, I NEVER count calories or carbs, and I eat whenever I want to, and I look best ever with working out smart not long. I eat to nourish my body and focus on nutrients and not macros or calories.

My mum’s elderly boss lived to 93 years. She always became really annoyed with people congratulating her with reaching such an old age. She felt miserable the last 30 years of her life and made sure that ‘being forced’ to continue living when in pain is NO JOKE.

I am 67 now and though I have a few minor health issues, I am still healthy and active. One has to be realistic. I can’t run because of my knees but I walk and swim. I don’t do the more extreme forms of yoga anymore but I still go to class everyday and am pretty flexible, balanced and strong. The most challenging thing as I aged was sleep. I was a great sleeper until my mid 50’s. I do all the right things, including exercise, no alcohol or cigarettes, good diet, no screen time for an hour before bed, weighted blanket etc etc etc. With all that I was struggling to get more than 6 hours of broken sleep. I started taking melatonin and magnesium Glycinate with some improvement. Had a sleep study ( no sleep apnea). Since I also have some depression, my gerontologist started me on small doses of Mirtazapine and Trazodone. Now I sleep about 9 hours, still a little broken up but I fall asleep easily, fall back to sleep easily. And my depression is gone.

[@JohnDHair]

I’m not so sure if the longest life span possible is such a good thing. My Dad “lived” or let me rephrase that existed with dementia in agony the last few years of his life. Today is Fathers Day 🤷🏻‍♂️RIP Dad🙏

[@simonmcintosh6565]

the whole of Peter's ideology and practices is increasing health span.

[@FlatToRentUK]

I'd strongly recommend reading Peter's book for several reasons. Longevity isn't just living longer, it's not the case that if you get dementia at 65 and die with it at 70 then if you've put good practices in place that you'll still get dementia at 65 but struggle on with it to 75. Longevity (the healthspan part) is to delay the onset of any of these diseases as much as possible. He shows that most people who succeed in doing this actually deteriorate quite quickly when their eventual time comes. This is very crude but compare these examples - - Average person gets cancer/dementia in mid 60s and lives with it (which is very unpleasant) to 75. So they get 65 good years. - Someone who wards off these diseases gets heart disease aged 88 and dies at 90. That's a lot more good years. Strictly on the dementia side there is a genetic element here and you could be at higher risk. But there's things you can do. If you're in the top 10% for strength you are 70% less likely to get Alzheimer's than someone in the bottom 10%. Physical fitness is key and prevents the build up of substances that are strongly linked with neurodegenerative disorders.

The best and most useful info here was at the end, about the world's top experts at the obesity convention having different views and not forming a consensus.

Maybe a holistic mental and physical approach to life is the safest bet for overall good health.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Couple of thoughts - please chime in, everyone. 1. Vegetables? I'm far from an expert in nutrition, but it appears that the nutrients in veggies are very important to health. I hear very little from experts like Dr. Attia about eating a lot of veggies, something most Americans are very, very deficient at doing. 2. Caloric deficit for longevity? Or get about a gram per pound of protein a day? Those two things appear at odds to me. Ditto eating enough veggies (even though they are usually low-ish in calories.). If I got enough protein by Dr. Attia's standards, I'd be pretty hard-pressed to get in enough veggies or much else other than lean meats. Not vegan but I don't like meats so that makes it tougher to get a lot of protein in without resorting to Frankenfoods like protein powders . . .which begs a question for another time, but I digress. Thanks for input, friends!

[@catherinekasmer9905]

Enjoyable interview. A couple of points: 1. Re: the crisis of abundance- literally billions of people are not sharing in the abundance. Of 8 billion people on the planet, one billion go to bed hungry. 2. Regarding the overall context for health, I think that everyone would reasonably agree that we need a healthy planet with clean air, water and soil in order to live. The economic system based on mass consumption involving the burning of fossil fuels is creating an uninhabitable planet. Furthermore the economic system in which we are doing this is creating massive wealth and income inequalities that are driving wars and hatred- the ultimate destroyers of health and well-being. As I went for my run in the Chicago area, I wondered if it is safe to do so. We have air quality alerts everyday due to the wildfires in Canada. We are kidding ourselves if we think we can go about our business as usual, maximizing our individual health parameters and thinking we will be bulletproof from the overarching actions that are killing the planet and directly harming so many individual humans and animal species. To take but one example- if we kill off our bees, will we be able to feed our multitudes? Doubtful. We are not really in an age of abundance I would argue. We are in an age of hubris. As a woman in this country whose rights to reproductive autonomy are now being stripped away and who does not enjoy the same level of freedom and safety as men currently do- I have been compelled to look at how exploitation and unfair treatment of other groups affects health. Our mental health is a huge driver of our bodily health. The two can’t be separated. Nor can individual health be abstracted from global health. Context is everything ultimately. Is abundance the problem or is it greed? I would argue the latter. Greed is driving abundance that we shouldn’t have and that is in fact killing us as individuals and as a planetary ecosystem.

This is so true. I am now 70 and living daily with Parkinson’s disease. I made the decision early to not swallow all the meds that the doctors are happy to throw at me. Instead, I exercise 7 days a week and that slows the Parkinson’s symptoms hugely. Now I am working on diet. I am not overweight, but I eat too many carbs. Were I homeless I would live under a table at a bakery. I love bread, bagels, etc. So…my goal now is to lower carbs significantly and increase healthy fats. I don’t see keto as something I would stick with long-term, so I’m giving up grains of any type and doubling-down on veggies, meat, olive oil, eggs. I also use intermittent fasting. I have been doing this for 2 months and no longer suffer from hunger pangs. I sometimes fast for 24 hours. But…to your point, not one doctor, in my adult life, has ever talked to me about diet.

I also have two other living aunts in their late 90's who are both in great shape. They never did anything special. My mother for example, never had an exercise program and would rarely go out of the house. Many so-called longevity and nutritional "experts" bullshit the people that follow their theories so that they can enrich themselves hawking marginal or unproven nutritional products but tend to die at the usual ages predicted by statistical insurance actuarial tables.

Fascinating and informative. More collaboration with Dr Attia please and thank you! 😊

*raises hand* I'm the person who doesn't want a 2-hr massage. I much prefer a 1-hr walk (outside) over a 1-hr massage.

Massages are good for stress

Oh no!! Lol I want and love both

[@emilymn4468]

Beautiful science.

My grandma lived to 87 and was healthy for most of it. She gardened for hours every day and ate fish and chips, Chinese fast food, and confectionary. Last 4 years were hard, hip stuff.

[@MrClimateCriminal]

Great interview

[@dlg5485]

I didn't know Attia was a car enthusiast, and a Miata fan to boot. I owned a MX-5 years ago and I'm planning to buy another one in the next couple years to race, well into old age, now that I've finally got my health together. Good stuff!

[@katherineprice96]

I enjoyed this talk. Thank you!

[@markmeme4275]

What a fantastic conversation. Thank you both.

[@plumrains5010]

wonder why it takes thomas a long time to publish these full length podcasts. feels like it’s been more than a month since these guys actually did this. been waiting for a looong time

[@jackMgood007]

Is who cares at least hes giving us some great insight on our bodies to help us maximize our potential. This kind of information is a game changer and basically an instruction book for life to an extent

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Because we have a release schedule

[@markdanzig1380]

Amazing info, completely free, yet someone finds a way to complain. And revealing how little they know or care about how work intensive it is to deliver such professionally curated information.

[@plumrains5010]

@@markdanzig1380 chill. been a huge fan of both Thomas and Peter and understandably I got excited when I knew they did a podcast together, only to wait weeks and weeks and still no release until now. What's wrong with giving feedback? It doesn't mean that I don't appreciate this man's work. No need to get worked up about nothing.

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

With all due respect, I released one of our interviews within days of recording (about a month ago). I hope you and others see this so you stop blaming me and blame the algorithm for you not seeing it.

[@internetmarketerbr1800]

Noooooiiice 👏👏😎

[@Geezerelli]

Interesting discussion. My vertigo makes swimming sprints impossible. Guess it is time for stationary bicycle sprints 😂

[@wells2671]

Tom, thanks for the great interview. I'd like to make a general suggestion for your channel. I believe that your followers will all benefit if in the intro to your videos you specified who your target audience is. Given the fact that you are at a different shape and health stage than most of your viewers, it would help them know when the advice would or wouldn't benefit them. For instance, in this video with Peter, you mentioned that you barely fast these days. However, many of your videos recommend frequent fasting. We know fasting is effective and that the benefits of it affect people differently depending on how far along they are in their weight/fat loss journey.

[@timw4369]

No need to live longer but live better. The last 10 years shouldn't be living out of a bed

[@mattan147]

I had always assumed that Peter Attia’s success was due to a high IQ, but it sounds like an insane work ethic was the main reason. Exercising 6 hours a day as a teenager etc.

[@chrtravels]

Are usually don’t get macadamia nuts because they’re too expensive to get organic. They are high in fat, and from what I read easily absorb pesticides.

16:36 I swore he said the study was done in “racist monkeys”

Rhesus monkeys.

Buy the book

[@jeffrey4577]

Omg peter is so smart❤

[@DigitalRaider1]

Did Dr. Peter say the Keto diet causes insulin resistance???? 32:03 Thats huge!

[@shahzamanhaque]

Someone should dissect it much further. I am on low carb /keto since over 9 months and I have normal HbA1c.

[@blarghmcblarghson1903]

Not really. It's a temporary form of insulin resistance. Basically what's happening is when you're in ketosis, your body needs to be able to prioritize sending the glucose the liver produces to the cells that can only use glucose, so hormonal signals are sent out that just go "if insulin comes knocking with a delivery of glucose and you can run on ketones, pass on it and accept ketones instead, so your neighbors who can't use ketones can get the glucose". If you inject a ton of glucose into your system in this state, all of your cells are still going "I was told to ignore insulin, so I'm going to keep ignoring him", which results in what _looks_ like diabetes-levels of high blood sugar. But once all that sugar's been introduced, the body's going to start sending out hormonal signals that go "okay, don't ignore insulin anymore, there's plenty of sugar for everyone now", and it takes around three days for all of the cells in your body to get that memo and switch back to using glucose. If you do the same test and inject a ton of sugar into the blood at this point, you'll have normal blood sugar. This is very different from the insulin resistance of diabetes, where your body's sent out the "don't ignore insulin" signal, but the cells still go "no, insulin's an annoying SOB who kept knocking on the door all the damn time, I'm not going to let him in anymore".

[@shahzamanhaque]

@@blarghmcblarghson1903 Thanks for this explanation.

[@wocket42]

Peter does not understand keto nor insulin resistance it seems.

[@DigitalRaider1]

@@wocket42 And thats unfortunate. If Drs. are confused and conflict each other at every opportunity, we are all fucked!

[@dennisb7930]

Excellent video !

[@kathya1956]

How about giving the right amount of insulin for the meal?

[@808ionman]

Peter Attia is my hero. I wish he was my pcp.

[@oscarblend]

Excellent content, thank you both for helping us improve our lives by providing relevant data and science to help us navigate the wellness/longevity chatter.

Where can I find more details on that vo2 zone 2 etc workout methods?

[@alex26i]

So somewhere between 7 and 9 is not 8?

[@juanlopezexposito]

I need a summary. Sadly I can’t stay so long in front of a screen.

I wish he would interview at a table rather than chairs - imagine a woman having to sit like that. Too bro, bro

[@TheAaronth86]

So are we done with fasting now?

You can dim the LEDs on those lavs fyi

Thomas do you know how to reverse trabeculation of bladder wall thickening-(4mm-5mm)?

[@jordangrace8551]

i can not choose between carnvore or vegan how would i decide doa a month of each i know that vegan works for me because its worked in the past but carnivore looks appealing help please thomas i trust your word highly

[@SamStone1964]

Omnivorous.

[@clcelino]

What is the benefit of eating macademia nuts? Best to say.

[@DavidTheDelfin]

Imagine getting an Uber and you found out the driver averages 3 hours of sleep a night. Would you still ride? Then why is it acceptable if our doctors operate on 3 hours sleep?

where's my list guy to summarize this pls? 😂
