Longevity is something Peter has some unique insight into, given his range of experience all the way back in medical school, his position at NIH and his work with patients over the years, and his own personal exploration and biohacking. Peter has an approach to longevity that he has thought a lot about and presents to any patient that is considering working with you, so maybe we can just kind of go through that and then take some interesting detours along the way.In this episode, we cover:

2:45  Peter’s approach to longevity 22:55  Commonalities of degenerative diseases 45:00  Social support and sense of purpose

Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. Today I’m really excited to welcome Dr. Pete Attia to the podcast. Peter is the founder of Attia Medical, PC, a medical practice with offices in San Diego and New York City, focusing on the applied science of longevity and optimal performance. The practice applies nutrition science, lipidology, four-system endocrinology, sleep physiology, stress management, and exercise physiology to minimize the risk of chronic disease onset while simultaneously improving healthspan—something I want to talk to Pete about today. Peter trained for five years at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in General Surgery, where he was the recipient of several prestigious awards, including resident of the year, and the author of a comprehensive review of general surgery. He also spent two years at NIH as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute, where his research focused on immune-based therapies for melanoma. He has since been mentored by some of the most experienced and innovative lipidologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, sleep physiologists, and longevity scientists in the US and Canada. Peter was the founder and president of a medical research organization that funded human clinical trials in nutrition and metabolic disease. During his four years as president, they raised and deployed over $40 million. Peter earned his MD from Stanford and holds a bachelor’s in science in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics, and he’s licensed in California and New York.
