Since the Epstein blow up, Attia seems to have fallen hard. No substantive guests and warmed over newsletter and podcast topics. Beyond the challenge of getting a senior guest to appear with him for awhile, events seem to have knocked him off his footing. The two podcasts I listened to were flat and he seemed timid.
I’m not sure how I feel about this, except to note it.
Completely expected result. He’s essentially been sidelined.
Not surprised, there have been more articles coming out about him, that have revealed more sordid things than that first one extensively discussed here.
Today is his 4th weekly “AMA” episode in a row. He hasn’t had a single guest interview since the Epstein blowup. He can’t survive forever on AMAs alone.
The unfortunate reality that because of his choice to sideline his values and ethics for power, influence and money - now makes him a pariah. It’s a slippery slope to manage… was great until it wasn’t. Attia shit his bed and now must sleep in it.
I still owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
My current successful longevity results… initially came from his Drive podcast on aging… health and rapamycin information. Through his podcast I came to know Matt Kaeberlein as the rapamycin and longevity authority. No one would argue that Matt was the heavy lifter on rapamycin and life/health span.
Some things are impossible to recover from… same for Sabatini and his poor office management. Brilliant man… bad personal choices.
I am surprised to learn he has no current guest episodes for no other reason than I assumed popular podcasts record many interviews well in advance, and they are just sitting around waiting to be aired.
From a production value, I find it interesting things are so last minute… and also curious if guests requested not to have their interviews aired.
Well said @Agetron
Now that you mention it, they definitely do record the interviews months in advance, per past comments, so I bet you’re right that whomever he had lined up requested not to be aired.
To be fair, it would have been incumbent on Attia to offer this option to his hosts. I hope that was the case.
Not so brilliant then, imho.
Brilliant… and a bit greedy too… maybe? He had the contacts and income that goes with it.
Not saying, I wouldn’t try to cushion my bank account in this crazy world also, if I saw the opportunity.
I am not going to virtue signal here.
When all is said and done…he has more than enough re$ource$ to last him and and his family several life times
I would like to think I would have made better choices but it would be cheap and easy to say. While some men seem well formed and mature in their later teens, many men – thinking about myself and others I know closely – continue to mature well into their 50’s and beyond. I would definitely not want to be judged solely by who I was in my 20’s or 30’s. I have no idea whether these experiences will lead to foundational changes for Attia but I am willing to give him the chance. In the meantime, he doesn’t seem to be doing much innovation. I haven’t found the interest to work through any of his recent productions.
In the short term, things will be rough for him. Long term, who knows. I haven’t noticed a significant mea culpa from him.
My opinion is that I don’t look to him to be a friend, or moral leader. I look for professional opinion. There are plenty of professionals out there with poor bedside manner. If you’re smart, you pick the most talented surgeon, not the nicest.
True, true Joe…
Peter should have bankrolled enough $$ in the last few years to never have to work again… unlike us old worker bees, lol. Maybe time for some inner reflection and family, simpler life.
He helped Matt Kaeberlein raise $5 million for the Dog Aging Project… said it was nothing to do.
Chump change. 
Moth flew too close to the flame.Maybe for the better,he’ll probably spend more time on science now rather than being a celebrity.I found his recent podcast on Obicetrapid to be very relevant.I expect more good work from him in the future and could care less about the campaign to cancel him.
I had subscribed to his newsletter a while back and he’s still writing that.
I choose doctors who combine expertise with a good bedside manner. Too many specialists are brilliant but overconfident, often dismissing what the patient has to say.
When asked, Bill Gates once said, no number of good programmers is equivalent to one brilliant programmer.
No known (even unknown) man in the whole of human history was ever mature enough (even at his 115th birthday) to not be prey of human/animal instincts. Most of the time I have been able to control the beast inside me LOL, but trust me it is an everyday struggle, depending mainly on circumstances and surroundings. Apparently, you may be pure and good for you, but God forbid people got hold of my thoughts (at times) hahaa but yeah let’s not fool anyone, we aren’t saints, none of us is.
A doctor almost always thinks he is the smartest person in the room even when the room is full of other doctors.
They don’t like your opinion. If you question them, most think you are wasting their time. They seldom are up to date on the latest findings.
