Summary of Transcript:
In this podcast episode, the host, Peter Etia, and guest Bob discuss various topics, including cgm, aura sleep wearable, exercise, and their intervention framework. The framework includes three questions: what’s the risk of harm, the probability of benefit, and the opportunity cost of the intervention? They apply this framework to cgm use in non-diabetics and determine the low risk of harm. Still, the probability of benefit is not well established through clinical trials. They consider the potential damage of cgm causing anxiety but note that some patients have found it helpful. They also discuss the importance of considering opportunity costs, such as the time and financial cost of using cgm compared to other interventions like meditation, sleep, or exercise.

Summary of Description:
The Peter Attia Drive podcast focuses on maximizing health, longevity, critical thinking, and more. In this AMA episode, Peter and Bob answer various follow-up questions from previous discussions, including the use of continuous glucose monitors and maximizing exercise in zone 2. They also discuss the physiological demands of professional Tour de France cyclists, and Peter shares his foundational framework for considering different interventions. Other topics covered in the full episode include managing blood glucose levels, the benefits of exercising after a meal and making decisions in the absence of data from randomized controlled trials.

Deep-Dive Topics and Incredible Athletes: AMA Episode Sneak Peek
As a physician focused on helping patients increase their lifespan while improving their healthspan, Peter Attia is a renowned pioneer in the applied science of longevity. Along with Bob Kaplan, he brings his knowledge to AMA episodes that delve deep into fasting, ketosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and mental health.
In the sneak peek of AMA #26, Peter shares his foundational framework for considering different health interventions, highlighting the importance of understanding an individual’s biochemistry. He also applies this framework to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and using data to manage blood glucose levels.
The full episode explores various topics, including the impact of different fruits on glucose levels, exercise’s influence, and managing glucose numbers using five main tools. Peter also shares his insights into the incredible physiology and discipline required from Tour de France cyclists and how he applies that knowledge to help athletes in other sports.
The podcast also explores different modalities for doing zone 2 exercises and monitoring lactate for maximum efficiency. Along the way, Peter shares his philosophy for making decisions about an intervention or action without data from a randomized controlled trial.
The Peter Attia Drive podcast boasts over 30 million downloads, and it’s easy to see why. Listen in to learn more about how to maximize your health, longevity, and critical thinking.

Source Description
In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter and Bob answer numerous follow-up questions to recently discussed deep-dive topics such as using continuous glucose monitors and getting the most from zone 2 exercise. They also examine the incredible feats of cyclists in the Tour de France through the lens of the unique performance physiology required from these athletes. Additionally, Peter ties the conversation together by sharing his foundational framework when considering different interventions, even without data from a randomized controlled trial.
In this sneak peek, we discuss the following:
00:00:00 – Intro
00:01:17 – Peter’s foundational framework when considering different interventions
00:07:09 – Applying Peter’s framework to the idea of using a CGM
This is a special sneak peek of AMA #26. You’ll want to become a podcast subscriber to view the full video. You can subscribe to the podcast and learn more about all the subscriber benefits: https://peterattiamd.com/subscribe.
In the full episode, we also discuss the following:
-Why certain fruits have a bigger impact on glucose, and the limitations of a CGM can tell you;
-Importance of paying attention to insulin and the prospects of continuous monitoring for insulin levels;
-How exercise impacts glucose and peak glucose numbers to stay under;
-Impact of anxiety on stress on glucose, and why it’s important to calibrate your CGM;
-The five main tools for managing blood glucose numbers;
-Benefits of moving or exercising after a meal, and where ingested carbohydrates get can be stored;
-How to make decisions about an action or intervention in the absence of data from a rigorous, randomized controlled trial;
-The incredible athletic feats of Tour de France cyclists;
-Different modalities for doing zone 2 exercise: running, rowing, cycling, and more;
-Proxies for knowing you’re in zone 2 short of using a lactate monitor;
-Monitoring lactate for zone 2 exercise; and
-More.
