Outlive

Peter Attia is a physician who earned his medical degree at Stanford, trained in surgery at Johns Hopkins and in surgical oncology at the National Cancer Institute, and now runs a medical practice focused on longevity; he also hosts the podcast The Drive. In Outlive, Attia and the science journalist Bill Gifford argue that mainstream medicine steps in too late against the chronic diseases that kill most of us. Instead, Attia proposes a proactive strategy he calls Medicine 3.0. He explains how heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and metabolic dysfunction develop over decades, why exercise is the most powerful longevity tool we have, how to think about nutrition and sleep, and why emotional health matters as much as any blood test.
