As you know, with Attia, Huberman, and Hyman, she is going full on influencer for ratings and not looking to be a credible source of news
Ditto on Pete, he is an impressive human.
File removal is probably for sale.

Omgggg… and I don’t even think that is a joke!
I was thinking, well, Larry Ellison would just have to make a call.
Fyi, I was listening to Kara Swisher, who knows EVERYONE, and she said her sources at Paramount would like to cut him loose… not shocked.

Larry or his son, David? I don’t know David but I’m not a big fan of Larry. I was running Oracle when it was a pup, along with the Oracle Kool Aid suite as it developed). Eventually, it got pretty good but Larry instructed his sales and CS staff to tell clients whatever they wanted to hear in terms of functionality, even if there was no chance it would materialize. He was tremendously successful and on top until about 2020.

Without getting into what’s in the files, I’ll just say this: Outlive genuinely changed my life and probably added years of healthy life for me. It got me training harder, thinking long-term, and taking ownership of my health - including identifying & fixing my cardiovascular risk. Whatever else happens, that impact is real and worth acknowledging.

Putting Epstein aside, there is no doubt in my mind that I have benefitted from the health related knowledge Attia has put a lifetime into developing and sharing. Neither can there be any doubt that he is intelligent, hard working, and dedicated (some would say obsessed 
) with ideas related to health and lifespan.
Some seem to object to Attia’s monetization of his knowledge, which seems naive. I believe we monetize too far too much in our society, but this is not an example of that problem and it is worth noting that he openly shares a great deal of knowledge.
Does Attia have an outsize ego? Perhaps but who cares. Is there empirical psychological data suggesting that whatever attracted him to a relationship with Epstein might contaminate his medical and health judgment? I am not aware of any and it is a field I am close to. Healthy humans have healthy egos and all humans compartmentalize.
Does whatever moral lapse we judge Attia to have exhibited in his relationship with Epstein, justify no longer availing ourselves of his health-related knowledge? That is a moral question that cannot be answered or judged in the abstract. Each person much arrive at that decision. I will continue to keep my eye on his health-related thinking.

I agree…he raised public awareness. I have learnt a lot from his podcast and emails. And, even his books was fairly good!
When you checkout the likes of modern public gurus like Deepak Chopra, you must wonder…do they all fall in the trap as they arent infallibles

I think it’s reasonable if you want to continue to get any potentially valuable information from him, just as I might still appreciate a Weinstein movie, but I want to refocus on something important…
The ONLY reason Epstein evaded accountability for so long, and the only reason those girls’ stories were dismissed, was because he enjoyed social acceptance.
That acceptance is the very thing that shielded him. It’s just not ok to have a social relationship with a known pedophile, no matter how much good you’ve done for the world, or not.

I remember this interview and this part did stick with me because it seemed out of place when he started asking her about her body. It seemed like he was flirting, but apparently it was quite unwelcome.

That triglyceride level is absolutely insane.

So Attia was supposedly treating this guy? WTF was going on? I swear most people on this forum could help someone improve these numbers with relative ease.

No, apparently he wasn’t a patient of Attia’s.

Those are some pancreatitis-level triglycerides. Maybe a heavy drinker?
8/10 rich and powerful ppl are deparved, sick and nasty
if ur rich and powerful and ur note the above, congrats, ur 2/10
It is amazing the fools who redacted this stuff. I know it is small potatoes, but why are we seeing his triglyceride level?
But since we are seeing things, there is nothing stranger than his testosterone level. I missed the date but presumably this wasn’t while he was incarcerated.
I mean I realize that a lot of wealthy people are really stupid about many things, but I still expect some rational thought or at least a doctor ordering the labs having some rational thought.
I mean the triglycerides are dangerous and clearly Epstein had the fearlessness of a narcissist but that doesn’t explain not being on the T.
To me it is fascinating and it reminds me that so much of the dynamics here (sexual abuse/assault) are about power rather than sex. I guess I have a better time understanding sexual desire than the power dynamic. Even then, I figure the T is contributing to the power dynamic to some extent.
Maybe it all goes back to (most) rich people are not like the rest of us. Their narcissism and sociopathy are just hard to fully comprehend. What is so fascinating is that we tolerate it.
Then again, maybe these labs were taken after a month alcoholic bender and they were all temporary numbers - I clearly haven’t looked that closely.

I think we need to be careful here. It is generally thought that there is a positive correlation between high levels of wealth and testing high on narcissism scales but the research is far from rigorous, the measurement scales achieve mediocre scores in measurement science, and the direction of causality is more topic of discussion than empirical illumination. Moreover, when you look closely at these studies, you may see conflation of self-confidence and therefore wanting to be in charge of some things with narcissistic tendencies.
Personally, I have had a close association with five very wealthy individuals (all over $1B in today’s dollars) in my lifetime and only one displayed observable narcissistic tendencies. However, all of these people exhibited a great deal of self-confidence, which was well earned because they were extremely competent, which, along with hard work, is how almost everyone becomes wealthy. While these high levels of self-confidence could be off-putting at times, these people were also aware of their shortcomings, were harsh on themselves when they made mistakes (high personal standards) and – unlike narcissists – could outline their weaknesses with precision and detail.

Everyone has their own experience for sure and in my limited world, wealth perfectly correlates with narcissism.
But I guess 18% is quoted for CEOs which fits perfectly with your experience.
Of course it is a spectrum and my cutoff might vary from a strict clinical one.
Epstein is clearly a narcissist and sociopath so I think in this case, it may help explain his triglycerides.

Having travelled among the ultra rich circle (myself not one of them), there is high inverse relation between wealth and empathy.
Warren Buffett for one is a perfect example. A great investor but very little empathy for the working class and average American.

most of them learn to fake a kind and nice exterior but are really nasty inside and to their staff
in my opinion, gates buffett are decent ppl, because they are donating their wealth to charity
in asia, i seldom see any billionaires donating almost all their wealth to chairity, lee ka shing donates a lot but far from everything
