About this deal

To improve strength, Dr Attia does and recommends consistent weight training, with a lot of focus on stability, as the most important thing is to be strong in a way that avoids injury as we do other things. So they’ve either died a cognitive death — which is to say their minds have become so dull that they’re really not able to be the people they wanted to be — [or] their body has broken down so much that the things that once gave them so much joy, … they’re deprived of … or emotionally … they’ve become depressed. He graduated from Queen's University at Kingston in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics. Aerobic exercise also powers our mitochondria, the little cellular engines that burn glucose and fat to provide us with energy and are fundamental to our metabolic health.

I appreciate the authors honesty about his personal and mental health struggles, but it’s also hard because when you read the book he definitely sounds like a total nut. The purpose of comments on our site is to expand knowledge, engage in thoughtful discussion, and learn more from readers. His thinking, particularly regarding frameworks and scaffolding around health, has benefited most of my patient interactions (at least the ones who want to make changes to lifestyle).

Our cardiorespiratory fitness declines for various reasons that begin with lower cardiac output, primarily due to reduced maximum heart rate. Was a really good reminder that we all are probably not spending enough time paying attention to our mental health - it's as important as exercising, eating well, and sleeping well. I want to be able to pull myself out of a pool … where there’s a one-foot gap between the water and the curb.

When we think of extending our lifespans, we think a lot about our physical health —how well our bodies function.You could skip breakfast or dinner to shorten your eating window, “but in my view, sixteen hours without food simply isn’t long enough to activate autophagy, inhibit chronic mTOR elevation (mTOR is a gene that regulates protein production and helps you build muscle, but too much is linked to diseases like diabetes and cancer ( 2, 3)), or engage any other longer-term benefits of fasting we would want to obtain,” he adds. You can learn more about his work, including extensive show notes for his podcasts, at peterattiamd. Peter Attia, a Stanford/Johns Hopkins/NIH-trained physician focusing on the applied science of longevity, the extension of human life, and well-being. This audiobook not only delves into the scientific aspects of longevity but also explores the art of living well. The Buddha said, “To keep the body in good health is a duty … otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear.

Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. The final section on emotional health is about Attia’s struggle to overcome being an asshole that segues in to a mention of DBT as a way to make this section fit in to the book. He received his medical degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine and trained at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in general surgery. It turns out that peak aerobic cardiorespiratory fitness, measured in terms of VO2 max, is perhaps the single most powerful marker for longevity.Attia says that adults should be concerned if their glucose is close to 100, and they should be aiming for 80 or less; the point is that most of these test results are on a spectrum, and if we wait unt There’s one disease, which is not really thought of as a disease, but I think of it as a continuum that is the foundation upon which all of those sit. It comes down to a philosophy of: ‘Do you or do you not believe that you have some agency over prevention of this disease? Peter is an advisor to and/or investor in the following companies: Virta Health , Hu Kitchen , Oura Health Oy , Magic Spoon Cereal , Inevitable Ventures , Salutoceuticals , Dexcom , and Supercast . He adds that if every one of us exercised for 30 minutes a day and maintained a healthy weight, we would be healthier and “probably add five years” to our life expectancy.
