[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add Peter Attia's podcast to your routine, or read his book. He's subscriber only but I've learned so much about extending life and health span. You might start with episode 202, which talks about protein consumption. By his standards, you probably aren't getting enough whole protein. It takes some effort even when you are eating meat, and is really hard if you aren't.[/quote]

This man is a loon and anything he says should be fact-checked with your medical professional.[/quote]

Can you explain what you mean?

He may be a little obsessed with optimizing/hacking for longevity, but everything he says is scientifically sound.  I mean, he IS a medical professional, with solid credentials/training and both research and clinical experience.[/quote]

Yeah, I wrote the Peter Attia recommendation and would definitely love to hear how he is a loon. He is a Stanford-educated practicing physician. For sure, he's got his own views and is willing to disagree with USPSTF guidelines but I wish more doctors were willing to do that. Most of his guests are the deepest of experts on their topics. My main problem is that he gets so into the weeds of the science, I have trouble keeping up. But that doesn't make him a loon.[/quote]

PP here and I agree.  I have read his book and listened to some of his podcasts.  I will say that the nature of the podcast format often creates soundbytes that lack nuance.  Those may get taken out of context.  But that is true of ANY podcast.  His book is fantastic and incredibly well-founded.  He is careful about accounting for individual nuance and shoing his work on the science.[/quote]
