Tim, we make our own proteins and amino acids - delete the old science understandings of yesteryear, starting with Dr William C rose - who got us on the false idea of certain amino acids being essential - they are not. Todays science knows we can in fact synthesize our own proteins and AAs from scratch - like Leucine, or lysine, Methionine etc. Dietary proteins end up as scraps sent to the toilet. Peter got bigger/stronger via resistance training - and the fuel was carbohydrates. Fasting doesn't allow for carbs so as he said he suffers through training when he fasts - but just one apple a day with the fast he would be fine. Muscles make proteins and AAs, not the other way around - see satellite cells.

[@oliverleslie7382]

Fat is not a source for energy - a lantern burning oil is not giving off energy. A 500 pound man does not have a lot of energy, or stored energy - and will tire much faster and more easily than a lean human.

[@oliverleslie7382]

Scientists can tell you the lifespan of humans hasn't changed much for thousands of years - or longer. I have the details.

[@oliverleslie7382]

The language doctors and scientists use - should stop - they need to automatically, in their mind, transpose if you will, all the words, terms, phrases etc - at the outset so we the lay folk can be fully engaged and follow along properly. Some one who had english as a first language yet can read, speak and write french completely - still knows how to only do english when speaking to an English audience. One huge problem arises is it confuses and or intimidates and can allow for the average bloke to just throw up their hands and say okay, your right whatever you say - lead us down whatever path you wish and we will blindly follow because we don't have the language acumen to counter something that might be or is incorrect on the doctors part. Lawyers do this as well and it sucks... I think we all understand the word 'sucks'.

The biggest challenge I see with medicine 3.0 is how do we get patient's to take the degree of ownership necessary to implement the changes. It seems like the promise of longevity is such a long term concept that most are less than willing to adapt their lifestyle necessary.

Love this. I am a senior and very mobile/active and healthy (no meds) I want to live longer and stay active/healthy. Been upping my protein and eat 3-4 meals a day to get in enough protein.

[@mallikasomershein1108]

Wow, well medicine 3.0 has actually been around for centuries, if we look at ancient and culturally diverse methods of healing, like ayurveda, which takes a preventative and personalised methodology.... as tim ferris has said in a different interview, on how he developed his methodology of 4 hr body, workweek, etc: look to the very old, fringe cutting edge, and the overlooked discarded, and you'll likely find whats most effective...love to see a day where scientific method dives into ancient methodology and it becimes more mainstream, ...like how fasting regimens have gained popularity 😅

Great conversation! Thanks for sharing it!

[@LivingProcess]

Brilliant as always... Thank you

[@avicenna1977]

I always enjoy listening to Peter Attia's perspective on health. This notion of protein intake and muscle mass in connection with longevity is a re-occurring theme with many new health-focused podcasts, but I'm not sure if there is a good understanding of sex differences for this aspect. What is consistent is that women (specifically, biological females who have lived a relatively normal life as a woman) outlive men. What is also consistent - particularly long-lived women aren't super conscious of their muscle mass or protein intake - and they are very likely to be markedly lower than men (across their lifespan). There is always a metabolic cost for everything. I postulate that the greater muscle mass men have relative to women comes with increased metabolism and oxidation that may result in accelerated aging, particularly in the context of low antioxidant capacity. This would also hold for the greater hemoglobin and iron stores men have.

[@oliverleslie7382]

A sign of the stress women put men under! lol j/k

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

Interesting take.🤔

[@BongShlong]

Interesting points! there is a multitude of reasons women live longer, many not only biological. Higher testosterone might have an influence on oxidation and has on behaviour, higher rates of perceived loneliness in men are damaging, greater tendency for abusing drugs and alcohol, higher (completed) suicide rate, more often employed in risky manual labor jobs, the list goes on. Individual risk factors vary greatly. That said I think that being (comparatively) strong and having high VO2max is certainly good for women aswell. As a side note: Medicine is still heavily biased and representation of XX chromosome humans lacking so I agree with your point, just adding another perspective

[@avicenna1977]

@@BongShlong Indeed, that was what I was taught in school (re: women's behaviour - including more likely to seek medical consult, being "healthier", risk aversion etc) was in large part the explanation of the consistent sex difference in longevity - that has (at least up until now) been observed across countries and cultures. As an immunologist, I have noted (both experimentally and in clinical trials) the more robust response (immunologically), on average, of women and their metabolic differences to challenge, which had me pondering this line of thinking (re: the biological). Given caloric restriction (and studies have also shown selective protein restriction - see the new conference review in Cell Metabolism) is linked to increased health and life span (at least in certain models), these seem to challenge the notion of more bulk and protein for longevity - though frailty is decidely not where we want to be. Heaven lies on top of the bell curve.

Pete is obviously contributing a message to assist people to live long health lives - bravo. I am not convinced about all of his sentiments. Granted that people who do consume red meat and never get any of the following cancer related illnesses, same factor being with nicotine use, still for someone to advocate for longevity and who passionately promotes carnism, there still remains a considerable residual risk factor of getting cancer through meat consumption. I live in a country which has per population one of the highest rates of bowel cancer anywhere on the planet and where we consume copious amounts of red and processed meat. I mean do the math! Red meat consumption was significantly associated with greater risk of breast cancer (RR = 1.09; 95% CI = 1.03-1.15), endometrial cancer (RR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.01-1.56), colorectal cancer (RR = 1.10; 95% CI = 1.03-1.17), colon cancer (RR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.09-1.25), rectal cancer (RR = 1.22; 95% CI = 1.01-1.46), lung ...

[@user-cy3kb2vn8s]

Like many seniors, I retired at age 65. During my first year of retirement, my goal was to improve my overall health, and maximize my fitness level. I never set specific markers to measure both my progress, and ultimate achievements. Like most of us, I considered both feeling better, doing more without fatiguing, to be adequate measurements. I also thought an improved overall appearance would be a good indicator. I just had my 66th birthday. Did I succeed? I do feel better. However, I started the year, in critical condition. And a few people have said I look better. However, I interact with only a handful of people. Luckily, I purchased a Fitbit to measure how much walking I was doing. I began walking a lot. Then incorporated resistance training into my routine. I averaged five gym workouts per week. Ultimately, now the most important question is.........can I perform physical activity, both better, and longer? Another question is....... will I live longer? It seems to me, that a slim waist, bulging muscles, explosive strength, and blazing sprinting speed, are not definitive indicators. Because, I have none of the above. Although, I have a bit of each. What I do have, is what I consider....... SCOREBOARD. Both my Resting Heart Rate, and VO2MAX, are .....52!! It's no surprise, hi I can complete an ultramarathon on a whim, and almost never get sick, or fatigued. I just don't understand why so many non athlete people, particularly seniors, get caught up in total weight lifted, speed, calories, steps, appearance, etc. It's logical those could be great motivators. And ultimately, it will improve their own scoreboard. Nevertheless, I just feel those things don't guarantee better health, and a longer life. Whereas, the scoreboard I mentioned, are probably the most relevant factors. In my 66th year, I plan to focus solely on the scoreboard. I will continue to target factors like focus, form, efficiency, consistency, and most importantly, maximum effort during every workout. All adjustments to my speed walking, and HIIT resistance training will be toward improving my scoreboard. Not winning races, competitions, or looking better in a mirror. I wish there were more YT videos, and podcasts focused on individual scoreboards. Unfortunately, our society seems to be caught up in appearances, rather than effectiveness. What's your goal? What are your tracking indicators for measuring progress? And what's your scoreboard? Here's a link to charts for both RHR, and Vo2max. Look up where you're at. Thereafter, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this topic. www.tres.in/health-insight/resting-heart-rate-rhr-and-why-it-is-important/ runninforsweets.com/vo2-max-chart/

You mean heart-rate?

[@thatstheguy07]

28:45 he forgot about plumbing/sanitation. More important than everything else he mentioned.

[@nuwang2381]

Listening to this whole doing some zone 2 cardio

[@yegorzakharov8514]

Just a couple of eggs discussing how to not crack. I love it

[@buildakicker]

Yes @32ish!

[@jesset55]

11:55 What are some brands of high quality whey protein that you would recommend?

[@prowellmanfitness201]

I love the talk about medicine 2.0 and 3.0! Prevention is the way to go. One way to implement would be through insurance companies. If a law was passed that insurance companies had to pay for gym memberships, that would at least make the threshold to entry lower. Just an idea. What do you guys think?

10 crap minimum book i’m sure! Awesome content as usual 🙏

If we pose dark matter / dark energy interchangeability, we can see how, by merely living in that extra dimension, we can do seamless tissue-health trans-locations. We can skip the deterioration that ageing has on human tissues. Via the closer, more thorough dark matter / dark energy relationship, we’ve simplified human health in easy, extra-dimensional terms. Closer adherence to dark matter / dark energy terms allows us to skip entire phases of bad science. It’s as though, when we live in universe-spanning time-space, we can extra-dimensionally lift out of the present and connect the past with the future. To best do this, we need to do it on a regular basis. If you think about it, it’s like when, in many-minds consciousness we use a universe-spanning energy phase to lift out and above a lesser space, then we immerse ourselves into it to get better over-views. We know that e.t.’s do this, and they all live longer than we do. Living in an easily inter-changeable, universe-spanning context, they enjoy gently-lofted lives of universal peace. With the added intelligence of giant-brained whales in our mix, so should we. re the above: Let’s look at this with improved, extra-dimensional physics definitions. If, long ago, the observable universe expanded away from all black holes, that would have added mass and vacuum energy to the black holes, as it does today. If, at plus-or-minus light speed, energy is really change in extra-dimensional order-in-complexity, then, given the 5 to 1 ratio of dark matter to atomic matter, time is better explained as extra-dimensional order-in-complexity. Consistent with this insertion of extra-dimensions into our science, we re-define mass as alternate time-space, or alt t. In other words, we’ve added super-fluid, extra dimensions into every part of Einstein’s equivalency. Outwardly, nearly-instantly expanding dark energy is, by definition, super-fluid because it falls up and out. So, in our alternative to the big bang, an older, condensed phase extension of the universe poses multiply more mass and vacuum energy in its black holes. In super-liminal phases, that would be expected. In other words, our newer parts of universe didn’t occur at the end of 10 99th to 10 120th year black hole evaporation phases. Given that the universe is accelerating its expansion, we should assume that older extensions of universe will have done the same, hence we don’t see them visually. However, their dark matter phases still register, right here, where we are. The only way to see this all clearly is to frame it all in terms of dark matter / dark energy equivalency. The inter-changeability of dark matter and dark energy in an adapted version of Einstein’s equation explains how black holes gain mass as the universe expands, even without absorbing atomic matter. If we expand all relationships outside of black holes, that has to affect black holes internally. So, in place of energy and mass in Einstein’s equation, let’s put dark energy and dark matter so that we get a better, intuitive view of the relationship. Now, our extra-dimensional re-phrasing makes perfect sense, and we can see how we experience condensed dark matter phases across super-luminal, fraction-of-the-universe expanses in many-minds consciousness.

I'd argue that giving one with relatively good intelligence and physically healthy baseline... Most folks, most of the time would be adequate without much knowledge of western allopathic medicine, noless being able to read and digest scientific reports/studies. Having good diets, exercise/physical activities and minimal medicine...most could live a healthy, long life most of the time just by learning abit about diet (nutrition /fasting) and exercising knowledge. Of course, with good decent sleep...

The Bradford Hill criteria include nine viewpoints by which to evaluate human epidemiologic evidence to determine if causation can be deduced: strength, consistency, specificity, temporality, biological gradient, plausibility, coherence, experiment, and analogy.

Tim, what camera setup are you using? You two seem to do a great job at making eye contact for a video conference.

[@marieladrah7318]

Could you explain percentiles of any labs results please?

[@claritywellnesscoaching768]

Nutter Butter Lovers unite 😂 Great examples in here. I often think about how the difference between causation and correlation is not thought about enough in analyzing study results. I just heard on Swiss radio this week about a study on how porn consumption by either male or female partners can affect the couple. However, they basically said that porn consumption in the men had negative effects whereas porn consumption in women had positive effects. But, there was no mention as to quantities or quality of the porn consumption. Also, they kind of framed it as if porn consumption in women helped the sex life of the couple versus looking at maybe it’s women who are innately more sexual or have a higher sex drive that will actively seek out watching more porn versus others. I also felt they didn’t emphasize enough that this is only in a certain generation of mostly people in their early 20s. In any case, great studies to start doing, but I feel they need to be talked about in a certain ways so that the general public starts learning how to analyze and scrutinize results of studies.

5:45, on protein and muscle hypertrophy 19:27, what makes you die 47:36, on the scientific method

[@jsg9575]

What Attia mentions about max protein is flawed. The problem with max 50G protein per meal is all body building research shows that if you're a natural athlete and looking to lose fat and maintain muscle your protein consumption goes from 1g/lb of lean body mass to 2.2g/lb of lean body mass. I'm quite sure it's the same research Attia got the 1g/lb lbm from in the first place. So in practical terms a person that is looking to gain muscle and weighs 160lbs, 160g /4 meals = 40g protein. If that person gained the 10lbs of lean body mass Dr. Peter Attia did but also gained some fat their lbm is now 170lbs. This means protein requirement to lose fat is 374g per day. That means 8 meals a day if 50g of protein is the max per meal. Yes these recommendations are for trained individuals but the research was on people training consistently for max 18-24 months.

Did anyone pick up on an explanation about how grip strength somehow CAUSES longevity? Seems wild to think that that has any causal relationship. Does that mean rock climbers should be expected to live super long (assuming all else equal)??

[@zeme0556]

I don’t think a strong grip extends longevity but is a sign of how fit an older person is and thus a sign how long that person could live

[@kbkesq]

2:04:00 they don’t mention new research shows colonoscopies miss 75% of colon cancers! So even if their friend went for screening they would’ve missed it 75% of the time. I have 2 parents who both had regular colonoscopies and the cancer was missed in all of them until they were state 3/4.

[@SilverFan21k]

Tim, are you a fan of Longevity and Life Extension science?

[@greggeaton4351]

Does Peter supplement with creatine to stoke muscle growth?

[@francoisbleau5543]

I wish Peter would join force with a Canadian province healthcare system and government to see if he can make a big scale difference.

[@smilebot484]

oh god please

[@mirapilates]

Follow up question, what is Peter's typical meals throughout the day to hit these types of protein ?
