Outlive - Peter Attia

I’m sure Peter has his off days, just like all of us.

I do agree (as I suspect most here would) with this:

The experience gets me contemplating the degree to which we have to quarterback our own health. As Attia writes in Outlive, Medicine 3.0 “demands much more from you, the patient. You must be well informed, medically literate to a reasonable degree, clear eyed about your goals, and cognizant of the true nature of risk. You must be willing to change ingrained habits, accept new challenges… You confront problems, even uncomfortable or scary ones, rather than ignoring them until it’s too late.”

Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, MD, examines how to extend both lifespan and healthspan through individualized, evidence-based approaches. Although the book discusses things like exercise, sleep, and mental health, our review focuses on the nutritional aspects of the book.

Key Points from Our Review

  • The book’s claims are generally supported by scientific evidence, for example, the recommendation to avoid eating excess calories.
  • The advice to eat a higher-protein diet and avoid glucose spikes isn’t as strongly supported by evidence, but is still reasonably well-supported.
  • The book tends to cite references accurately.
  • The book’s dietary advice aligns with commonly recommended healthy eating patterns and is likely to provide some health benefits.
  • The advice in the book would probably be fairly easy to follow, as it isn’t overly restrictive.

Bottom Line

Outlive offers light guidance on nutrition that is generally evidence-based.

Wow great interview. Some new information. More liberal with metformin now as it increases lactate via the liver and not the muscles.

Much more bullish on GLP-1 agonists. He cites corrupt PBM’s stealing from the american worker where tirzepatide costs $300 / month, while due to the PBM’s it’s $1000/month.

The 4 (or 5) step framework for supplements I have to look at again.
