This guy is just so inspiring. About his insecurity....well, as Bukowski said; " The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence."

I totally agree with the Bukowski quote and it reminds me of maybe the corollary, the Dunning-Kruger Effect: The cognitive bias in which lower-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is.

My grandmother is 99 and she says the key to a long life is eating healthy, drinking lots of water, not smoking or drinking alcohol, walking lots, being active (gardening) and being happy and keeping stress down to a minimum. She has never had a gym membership or ran a marathon. My dad was an orthopaedic surgeon and he always thought jogging was the worst invention ever in terms of overloading joints. He always said the risk reward was not worth it. He always said walking was a much better alternative. He is 86 and still very active and walking lots.

My father just turned 91. He golfs once a week and he still does the grocery shopping and cooks for my mom who's become disabled. He retired at 60 and had open heart surgery and didn't think he was going to be around a lot but this is what I saw him do. He was always up 8 a.m. and drinking his coffee doing crossword puzzles with a light breakfast. He would go out and do a 5-mile walk until he was in his mid 80s and then come home and spend the rest of the good day doing yard work. The days he didn't go to his walk he went to the gym and did circuit training for 1 hour. He stopped going to the gym routine Lee when he turned about 89. He also read voraciously watch minimal TV except for in the evenings and always focused on the positive.

Eventually that knee was surgically stiffened and have had since, three R knee replacements , 3 R hip replacements and 2 L hip replacements. It’s a bit late now to look after my joints! However I have a positive outlook, look after myself. I have Three grown children, 6 Grandchildren, and eagerly awaiting the birth of my first Great Grandchild.

I'm 65. Still have - more or less - the physique I did when I was 30 ( a few more wrinkles). Still play tennis and spar with people half my age. Exercise regime: push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, stretches...all sorts of stretches, many of which I have 'made up' and which I don't see anyone, anywhere showing on youtube (Be creative, and figure out stretches to suit you injury and prophylatic needs). Nutrition: still eat meat, but have cut down on protein intake; muchos nutritional supplements (those who espouse the notion that these don't work or 'you only need to eat a whole food diet' don't know what they're talking about (just for instance, I take up to 6000 mg fish oil...and my inflammation is less now than it was 20 years ago); time restricted feeding (generally 17 / 7) and periodic longer fasts (2 - 5 days). The fasting makes up for a lot of ills. As for exercise, these young guys - like most here on youtube - have no idea what is good for someone in their 60s and 70s, i.e. emphasizing too many weights, too strenuous movements etc. Don't get me wrong, I exercise vigorously...but I exercise smart, i.e. lunges, yes..but without the weights; squats, yes....but without the weights; back extensions, yes...but you don't need weights. In fact, apart from some 30 lb'ers for curls, I don't use weights at all. And I'll let you know when the 100 mark rolls 'round....

Great watch!! Lots of interesting stuff to be digested. I'm 68 and mind, body, spirit health is the first focus of my life. I'm not so interested in how long i live, but i want to enjoy my life to the max while i'm here. On the physical level, i walk at least 15000 steps a day, cycle at least 10 to 20km, do yoga 2 or 3 times a week, and lift weights every second day. I eat a plant based diet with a small amount of fish. Lots of nuts and seeds. No, dairy, pasta, rice or bread. I've been eliminating different foods from my diet for the past 20 years and eat pretty much the same thing every day, varied only by what fruit and veggies are in season. I follow the teachings of Buddha and have a regular mediation practice. Also have a strong belief in the law of attraction. I feed my mind with great podcasts and youtube videos like this one. I'm mindful of always choosing love over fear. People constantly tell me i shine. None of this began until i was in my late 40's when i realised i was getting older and it freaked me out. But that woke me up to the fact that there was nothing i could do about aging but there was a lot i could do about how i aged. Up until that point I was a complete couch potato, ate what i liked, drank a lot of wine and smoked cigarettes and a lot of marijuana. I do none of those things now. For most of my life i was around 20 stone (127kg.) I'm now half that weight and have been for the past 15 years and even if i do say so myself i look amazing.... Yes i've had several surgeries to take care of the loose skin that was a result of being so obese but my health is great, i take no medication and i'm pain free. Its difficult for even me to comprehend the changes in myself. i'm in total awe of this miraculous body that has responded so beautifully after years of abuse.

I also had cyclical arthritis on my knees, I thought it was because I like running a lot and that I was probably hurting my joints... But it turned out it was all the bad diet I had, as soon as I did the changes I mention, nothing bottered me again. I'm not 50 but I gues this pretty much applies at all ages.

They usually get a kick out me asking and then answer eating healthy, no smoking, little or no alcohol, being joyful, having social engagments, being involved with family, friends, activities, and gardening, but the most common is faith, reading the Bible, and prayer.

[@AnonGaming333]

@Tom Bilyeu He needs to spend way more time listening to other experts as well as the elderly and disabled. While we strive for optimal health, we will all eventually fail. His inability to value human life that doesn’t resemble youth is disturbing. He is falling into a pitfall- that because he considers himself smart he tries to work through too much that way, instead of seeking info. One example- “I’m not sure if elderly fall more” or if it has more serious consequences. Absolutely they do fall more. This is well documented, easy to find info, and his ignorance makes it hard to believe anything else that he claims. If he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, then he hasn’t even started to really learn. He could probably do amazing things if he could change that. I know a lady over 100 years old who lives independently on a farm, in perfect health. Can she hoist 40 pounds into an overhead bin on an airplane? Who knows, she is too smart to overpack or take such a foolish risk. That is a key that he is missing- it isn’t all about being able to do everything you could when young. It is also having the wisdom to avoid injuries, as far as possible. I would have been less disappointed if this were titled “Peter’s musings on life.” Calling it joint health was a bad move. He didn’t get into that at all, thought I might have heard about boron, copper, and the like. What you can do now is edit it down to the valuable parts and retitle it.

Your episodes are exactly what humanity needs! You both are so incredible! Thank you so much for this authentic conversation!

I just realized that I've been obsessing over a problem. Realizing that it's the sunk cost fallacy that is keeping me stuck.

[@bathroombuddy17]

I am rarely compelled to leave a comment after watching a video, but in this case I feel it would be impolite not too. Thank you both for enriching me with such a marvellous conversation. Your talk resonated and continues to reverberate with me hours later. I am a more enriched person without doubt for having been here.

Love this perspective, a long term view is always a good sign of knowledge in any area. This perspective really inspired our revamped programs! As an Exercise Physiology clinic focused on protecting the specific joint condition of osteoarthritis, we deal with the consequences of poorly thought out exercise on a daily basis (whether it be a complete absence of exercise, or on the other end of the spectrum, too much too soon). It seems that the biggest difference between those with a lot of experience in exercise & health, & those who don't is their ability to see the long term. Seriously good stuff for public health as well, as joint conditions are kind of like the gateway to serious problems down the line (lose your ability to move & exercise, lose the ability for your body to function i.e. disease). Awesome 🏆

[@kavitaa8523]

the best talk ever!! His talks are so relatable. How to improve life and reduce suffering!! More power and love to you!!

[@kenwintheday]

The last part of this was absolutely amazing!

[@psavinon]

Probably the closest to a perfect interview I’ve seen in recent years .... This is soooo good

[@Healthify360]

Tom and Peter you are two of my favorite people to listen to for high-quality content that I can put into action in my life, which is currently 60's. So I am a little older than the two of you and have a shorter time span to 90, my goal. I love the vulnerability of both of you with regard to insecurity - there are two basic strategies to deal with this emotional landscape - talk therapy to change our thinking and emotional release work to release the traumatic energy that is trapped in our bodies. Trying to deal with insecurities without doing the release work first is like using a fly swatter to swat flies, you will likely be swatting for the rest of your life. Eliminate the flies, and you can make change fast. I resolved the disaster of my divorce in 18 months using this strategy when the average rate of divorce recovery is 5 years.

Loved what he had to say about David foster Wallace's commencement speech. Going to listen to it again. It was a few years ago that I first listened to it and it resonated with me. Thanks for this interview Tom.

[@floridacustommerchllc7371]

Also, “Strength training” of any kind can be explained by two things: Movement of any weight (including your body weight) - Doing ANY exercise that pushes your muscles outside of their comfort zone, forcing them to rebuild stronger to prepare for the next challenge.

[@mikevic9366]

Sounds like an honest genuine guy. People like this should have children.

[@grocerjohn9272]

Just wanted to acknowledge Peter for showing vulnerability in being open about insecurity that's really powerful and courageous to share.

[@firecrackerNJ2CA]

By far one of the BEST interviews on this channel, EVER. Is it weird to say that I think Peter Attias is my soulmate? He articulates what I feel and to what I aspire, perfectly. I'll definitely be following him now! Thanks for the great content, Tom Bilyeu!

[@Laura-ct5bk]

Tom is so awesome and such an inspiration ! Love the drive and consistency !!

[@Tron247]

Honestly, I was just thinking about why you didn't have Peter Attia on your show. I go on KZbin 30 seconds ago and see this. I was not disappointed.

[@meirakain2756]

I am the CEO of a biotech company. Feeling bored with all reports I manage i took a brake just hitting KZbin for some brain massage. Came across your channel, read your biography, was pissed at some of your interviews that I didn't even care to comment on but - WOW you nailed it with this one.

[@2coryman]

Bright I think what drives you is not so much insecurity at all but the desire to self improvement and for a way to live, a life style you certainly got it

[@DeyBwah]

Peter Attia is the man, truly inspiring.

[@beric1704]

Peter is an enlightened man - he knows himself really well.

[@G.W.G.3]

I’ve watched most Health Theory’s and I will soon have watched them all and stay up to date from there forth, This was one of the most intimate and I loved it! Top five for sure...

[@ebateru]

Awesome talk! Really surprised how the talk changed towards the end and how much Peter opened up. Great stuff man and all the luck with achieving your 5 year plan!

[@barbararobinson1363]

First time I am hearing from Peter Attia, he is amazing! Can't wait to find his podcast.

[@tkbill86]

A strong core is huge in balance, combined with the strength to catch yourself if you fall. As an older person, you lose a TON of strength in your abdominals, lower back, obliques, and transverse abdominis. The older you get, the weaker that gets if you don't PURPOSELY keep them strong.

[@pamcolding5925]

Just amazing interview! Tom you are such a great interviewer. I am a truck driver so I have 8 hours a night to listen to podcasts etc and nobody does it better than you. Dr Attita is so intriguing and your questions really bring that to us as listeners. I love your shit!

[@beemo9]

The fitness world tends to glorify "overkill fitness", like squatting twice your body weight or running a marathon, but Peter Attia points out that most of us should prioritize "functional" tasks, like carrying heavy luggage up stairs or sprinting short distances. Variety is the key, to cover the huge range of physical demands. Skill deficits tend to cause more injuries than a lack of brute strength.

[@ricardogamboa577]

wow! @43:26 train yourself to be awesome at compassionate and awesome at talking to your loved ones (at all times) and it will make doing that with co-workers and strangers all the easier

[@kangarookids7497]

He is a nice, introspective guy, scholarly and disciplined. He should contribute alot to his field(s) of study. He is also a mature and responsible family man.

[@stsingh1979]

ok the more I listened to this, the more brilliant it gets.

[@bonsummers2657]

I've been on this path for many years,… and have learned what works and what doesn't. Performance in life.

[@Radnally]

I am almost 60. Been retired for 8 years and associate with folks my age and older. I'm still very athletic, but it's amazing to me how many of them are obese. And relatively inactive. Diets that are very poor as well. Not many people get this memo.

[@offthechainfitness]

respect for being able to hangout with them, my friends that I am active with are 25 - 40. The rest that are older are examples of what I don't want.

[@fuadalsaify4547]

Radnally I can guess what makes you have Hangout with those people? If you know what I mean? I don't think it will take to the next level, because they don't challenge yourself, there is a chance you will find your self like them

[@hrabmv]

hahaha retired at 52??? you lazy....ofcourse you are athletic when you did nothing for 8 years

[@Mihanik0]

This isn’t the kind of interview I expected based on the title, but damn I like the direction this show is taking. It’s nice that it’s not limited to the concept of “health” in its conventional form, but is rather focused on healthy life in all areas generally. Great job guys!

[@jorgeromera3861]

Amazing interview! It has lifted my mood on this sad Saturday evening. Thanks a lot!

[@tukabanbuna]

I love Health Theory. This was one of the best! Inspiring! I felt myself being moved as well!
