Does anyone follow Dr. Peter Attia?

I love his podcast and am enjoying his book, Outlive.

I do! Although I do wish his podcast didn't get too much into the detailed science, e.g., I'm listening to one now on cognitive decline as we age, and I'm having trouble following without a Ph.D. But I really like his takes on food/nutrition and exercise.

I did until he went antivax. It colored my perception of him. Also he’s a bit of a bro

Where does he mention being antivax?

I had no idea he had a podcast. My favorite Pilates instructor was talking about Outlive in class one day so I got the book. DS18 has been reading it, I need to steal it back.

He’s not anti-vax. He was anti covid vax mandate.

Does “anyone” follow him? Why yes. Every single UMC bro, for starters.

No, never heard of him until the Epstein file release yesterday.

I have been reading his book recently. I have also listened to several episodes of his podcast. I found his book very helpful as well as some of his podcast episodes. But I would tell my sister (who was the one who told me about him) that he seemed a little crazy. Good at presenting himself as reasonable but would go all in on wellness/health span stuff to a level that seemed unhealthy

The Epstein stuff is disappointing, but not entirely surprising. Definitely something off about him - of only based on the sheer amount of time he spends on fitness stuff for himself - not normal for a husband and a father. I don't mean it's bad to spend time on yourself, that is good, but there is a point where it is just way too much and quite selfish.

Never heard of him, sorry.

I totally agree. I read his book and there was a lot of good info, but I walked away thinking his personal conclusions were too extreme. By all means get a lot of Zone 2 cardio and get stronger. But the average person would get incredible benefits from doing way, way less than he does. He takes it to a level that I think it over optimizing.

But if that is his job, why is it too much? If he is making a living with this as many of these people do he would spend many hours making it work. It would not be a 9-5 job. It would be the hours of a entrepreneur.
