How is it possible a healthy diet doesn’t increase your lifespan! Is it all for nothing? Today we’re diving into longevity myths we’ve believed for too long.

Peter Attia, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the popular fasting app, you probably have downloaded right now, Zero, and the bestselling author, podcast host, and longevity health expert, is breaking the mold and exposing why we’ve been thinking about lifespan and healthspan all wrong.

His latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like. 

In part 2 of this 2 part episode, Peter starts breaking apart the calorie debate and why it doesn’t hold, the emotional side of longevity no one talks about, and how to know which of the 4 horsemen of death is coming for you.

Peter is exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and how quality of healthspan and length of life are very different. Peter simplifies how to optimize your efforts now for a longer lifespan with quality. Think about what you want to be able to do in 40-50 years and start managing your exercise and lifestyle for that.

QUOTES:

“Living longer is not accomplished by living longer with disease. Living longer is accomplished by living longer without disease.”

“True prevention needs a set of tools that medicine 2.0 doesn’t participate in. Medicine 2.0, which is the medical system that everyone of us who’s trained goes through, is largely a pharmacologic playbook.”
