As a veteran that suffers from depression, I can't think of anyone that has helped me understand health and longevity more than Dr. Attia. How blessed we are to have doctors like this.

Its funny how people can be rolemodels for healthy lifestyle while not living a healthy life them selves.

[@contentconsumer4145]

@@orion9k I think this is far too harsh of a criticism and standard. I understand holding people accountable of doing what they preach, but Peter is all that as well. Life, it isn't so simple. It's so difficult to do all this, it's challenging to balance your health and emotions. So a person who's genuinely interested in the betterment of his health, other's health, and for someone who's willing to grow and learn, I'm absolutely putting my money on Peter of all people.

[@orion9k]

@@contentconsumer4145 I would not put my money on him, he seems like he has fallen to the victim mentality, going into trauma states of mind etc. he is slowly deteriorating through a dangerous ideology.

[@contentconsumer4145]

@@orion9k An who even are you to him. Lol. we're all victims my guy, idk what to tell you if that hasn't occurred to you yet. Peter has just managed to filter out when he actually is the victim vs where he is responsible. That's a mega necessary skill for life in general.

[@tosca...]

@@lisetteem588 I kind of feel the same. His honesty at least is something, but to have gone for so long with so little insight was somewhat bizarre. And for what? To have a physiological balance between nutrition, sleep and exercise? That was a high price to pay for his long term emotional disfunction. And yet, I must say, it was compulsive, thought provoking listening, with Rich seeming to manage a large toxic creature with amazing compssion. I was routinely beaten by my mother as a child, so I have sympathy for anyone who has to work through that as an adult. And frankly it is bloody complicated, as I have put my own life on hold for two years to care for that abusive mother in her rapidly declining old age. This guy's obsession with fame for something nearly destroyed his life. And, his wife Esther deserves a medal!

[@jamesburris4]

I discovered Rich Roll early on in his Podcast career. Rich has grown into one of the best interviewers in the industry. I feel smarter, motivated, and more empathetic after listening to him. Someone once said that people come in and out of your life, some add to your life and others subtract, Rich has definitely added to mine and I’m a better person for it.

[@michaelkossivas]

Beautiful. For many years Peter was so neurotic and obsessed with optimizing performance and longevity, yet neglecting emotional health. I'm glad it's his priority now, as it should be for all of us. Longevity, without well-being is pointless. Finally he gets it.

Deep respect for *Mrs.* Attia. I'd be very interested to hear her perspective and story. She, and others like her, who stand by their significant others as they work through their struggles, while typically juggling parenting responsibilities and day to day life - I'd like to know what anchored her? How did she have the strength to kick him out, then later have the empathy and openness to let him back in? How did she keep herself grounded and steady? And where does that conviction and strength come from and how to foster it?

What a great wondering. It is really hard to juggle life with a partner who struggles. I rarely see comments acknowledging the partner.

As a man who caused my wife a lot of grief before I began to understand why I acted the way I did for so many years I can only say thank goodness for a significant other who tolerated those of us who have personal issues to work through. Much like Peter I have a lot to make up for.

[@bellakrinkle9381]

Very few know or understand this reality. I can assure you that it is next to impossible to get the next generation moving in the right direction; everyone believes that they can take care of themselves properly.It's greater than tragic. Sadly, people need to find themselves, because they will not believe anyone other than themselves. People need to be open and honest as parents, as children, as partners. How many people can truly communicate feelings and emotions? Can you? Dr. Attia is in the heart of his healing; he's a great doctor - listening to his wisdom on heath, finally allows me to sleep through the night, using the supplements he recommends. Driven people discover eventually, and learn, that they need a clone to relax and live a "normal" life. I know exactly how he suffers; healing requires enormous strength. Is this why most cannot confront themselves?

I woke up at 2.30am with this podcasrt playing in my ear. It was so phenomenal that I have stayed up to finish it. I wish Peter knew how sharing his story is going to impact many people's lives and even affect generations of families . Thank you Peter for doing this podcast with Rich. I am 70, still healthy, but definitely have slowed down due to some past injuries. To me chronic pain has been my bugga boo to deal with as I age. Perhaps you can talk about this in a future podcast. It is a real issue for many aging seniors. In order to exercise and avoid osteoporosis I need to be able to move and exercise. This requires pain meds which doctors do not like to prescribe. I hope you do a podcast about this subject sometime in the future. It is a real component of aging for many of us. You cannot imagine how much knowledge I have had to learn and put into practice to be able to stay active yet there are many things I can no longer do .

[@Cloudnine2024]

Very very relatable. I'm currently experiencing the same mental collapse after YEARS of being a productive overachiever that has neglected emotional development. This has caused a serious personality "condition" for me. Which has giving me great success, and has pulled me out of a bad childhood, but the cracks are showing. My old mental software is no longer serving me and needs a major update for my new reality. As Peter said: "What got you here, won't get you there." I'm only seeing this now. Living for the Ego while neglecting the Self is a terrible tradeoff that WILL come back to hunt you. Completely understand the mindset of, "but will I still be good enough if I lose this version of me?" Respect to Peter for sharing. I have already preorder his book on Audible.

[@saratonnan]

Now I’m trying to understand my life by seeking out the stories of others who have also had to deal with similar issues. I’m doing better now. I lost over 60 lbs and do yoga and other types of workouts for an hour every day. I’ve been following Dr Attia’s podcast and appearances on KZbin for some time and have such respect for him.

Beautiful to hear a man describe exactly what I felt having my first child, I thought only women experienced this. Before my first son was born, I could not imagine loving anyone/thing as much as my husband who was my world at the time, I was told that would change, but I just could not believe or imagine it. That was until the nurse placed this bundle in my arms and he opened his eyes, he had my eyes - I was hit by what felt like a cosmic freight train of pure authentic love for the first time in my life, this was on a scale I was totally unprepared for and overwhelmed by, and my husband who was my life, took an instant back seat. But what Dr Attia said about mortality is what really resonated with me, the second I became a parent there was a generational shift in me, I instantly felt old, and acutely aware of my own mortality - at 24! I obsessed over my childs mortality too, and his safety, I lay awake every night thinking of all the harms that could befall him and how to avoid it, I also became ultra paranoid about my own health, convinced I was going to die. I find the link between new parenting and mortality fascinating, I think its that instinctive drive in us to stay alive so we can protect, nurture and raise the next generation. I would love to see a study on the actual mechanism i.e the psychological and physical effects of childbirth that turn fearless women like me into quivering, overprotective wrecks who think everything is a threat and become convinced they or their child is about to die at any moment. Is it a survival response or a form of neurosis? All I know is by the time I had my third child the fear had diluted somewhat, I was only a third as neurotic about the protection of each child, rather than pouring all my overprotective neuroticism into 1 child, it became divided by 3. Also the more children you have the more confident you become in your ability to keep these little people alive, safe and well. But that first child...WOW, life changing, mind changing, world changing. I never worried about dying until I had something worth living for ❤️

[@scc8728]

I think I need this book of Peter's. I can relate to the detachment we start to feel especially in our middle years. I'm not feeling it to the extreme that Peter experienced but trauma I thought I had dealt with has definitely resurfaced. I can understand that rage and it is scary to be experiencing it again. It's so lovely to hear men talking about something so vulnerable and wanting better for themselves and loved ones. I'm a big believer in "mending" the damage. For example when I make a mistake such as yelling at my child, I take accountability, I apologise for not handling my emotions better and then I say stuff like "if mummy could go back in a time machine this is how I would do differently". For my own regulation, talk therapy, mirror work, exercise and meditation helps. I sometimes wonder in my case as a middle aged female if being perimenopasual has something to do with it - HRT definitely helps.....I imagine men go through something similar.

Excellent interview. So refreshing to hear so much honesty from a doctor. So many people do not want to face their trauma and their vile conduct that’s usually hidden but when they address the issues openly it’s very courageous. Love Rich’s podcasts

This interview really became interesting and kept my attention once Peter starting talking about his recovery and progress through 12 step...Then I was all in...So happy to hear you stuck with it before you blew up your family life...thank you for sharing your experience for it will help many others to understand how important it is to get to the root cause on our journey to whole health to really understand the true definition of DIS-EASE

Sending love & blessings to dr Attia! It's empowering to also see the beautiful, sensitive side of his personality. And regarding his great, professional work, words are useless. ❤❤❤❤

Huge love and respect for both of these guys. I tuned in because i dig their health advice, but got a big dose of what i need. Time to go think and try and beat the beast.

One of your best yet and so important! Thank you to you and Peter for sharing so vulnerably. It helps and inspires us, while reminding us all that we're not alone. Profound, beautiful, healing, and insightful.

Great interview. Peter has been my hero for many years, with his logical mind and determination to get to the core. I am sorry to hear about his struggles with mental health, but so glad that he has decided to talk about them openly. Very brave and humbling experience. Wish you both all the best. Will definitely buy the book. 😊

This kind of authenticity and vulnerability truly is a service to humanity. At least it is to this human.

Have been following Peter’s content (and Rich’s content, not as long) for over 2 years and haven’t finished the book yet, so did not know about these demons spoken in this episode. First, a big thank you to Peter for his compassion for sharing a very deep inner-experience; I believe I struggle with some very similar demons he has mentioned and now believe I need to seek professional insight on how to combat these mental hurdles. Much Love and Respect to both of you, Sincerely 🙏

so refreshing to have a doctor be so honest

Love the honesty, heartfelt anguish and the mental agility of Mr. Attia. I thought that I was a fan of his work before this interview. Turns out, that I have truly become a fan of Mr. Attia's work after the interview. Mr. Attia's book has been pre-ordered, and I am grateful for people like Peter Attia and Rich Roll. It is a humbling experience that I am not alone in my failures, in life. Much love, health and blessings to everyone!

I'm envious these people have access to such high quality emotional healthcare. I know of a few that could benefit from it if given the chance. Thing is, they're never getting it. Not in the 4.75 minutes in their GP's office. Not even if they seek it themselves. Once again, privilege=access.

My two favorite internet men....together in conversation...how ORGASMIC! It's a great freakin day!

[@paulettegaleener6754]

Really glad I’m watching this as it helps explain my adolescence and the lives of my adult children. Peter is very brave to air this intimacy to help others.

I am a huge fan of DPA. The Drive is the best in my HO. The guy is so in-tune. Highly respected highly recommended. Listen to him on all things scientifically sound and human. I’m now to this channel.!I’m still interested. Thanks for the work, effort, and time of sharing.🙏💖🙏.

Thank you Peter Attia for your candid expression of your growth as a human being. I, as many, have idealized you as a medical and intellectual demigod, and as such aspired to replicate both your understanding and processes. If anything, this provides a greater map for an adult male in similar vocation to follow, than even your impressive codification of procedures to enhance healthspan and lifespan. You’re an evangelist in more ways than one 🙏 keep sharing the truth and the good news for us all to hear.

[@alias-health-tips]

I respect these Men so much. Thank you Peter Attia for your vulnerability in this podcast.

[@jent7945]

I cried. Powerful. Thank-you both for that moment.

[@henrymcgoldrick4392]

ae a professional therapist, I am amazed by Dr. Attia's incredible honesty about his personal life. Thank-you.

[@ljdhammond]

Thank you for being vulnerable and shining light on the process of your growing and learning. Thank you for being willing. Light beats darkness every time (eventually)! Thank you!

[@Hmcet]

I’m sorry that he had to go through all of this but I’m very grateful he chose to share this as it makes him so relatable. I will likely buy his book. The concepts and science are complex to me and a lot to digest, so once I read through, it’ll probably be best for me to use it as an ongoing reference. Thanks to both of you for this riveting discussion.

[@sharison-of-robert5986]

This episode has completely blown my mind and I’m only approximately half way through!!! Thank you both and especially Dr. Attia for your vulnerability & authenticity. This content has awesome potential to promote healing and provide hope IMHO ❤
