Peter Attia: 5 Things He’s Changed His Mind On for Longevity
Introduction:
In this video, Thomas DeLauer discusses five topics related to longevity that Dr. Peter Attia has changed his mind about. Dr. Attia is a medical doctor who specializes in longevity and has a popular podcast, The Drive. He has also authored a book on the topic of longevity.
Regular Fasting:
One of the topics that Dr. Attia has changed his opinion on is regular fasting. He used to believe that fasting every day was the most effective way to promote longevity. However, he now believes that there is value in having a consistent eating schedule and that occasional extended fasts are more effective.
House of Macadamias:
During the video, Thomas DeLauer mentions a brand called House of Macadamias. He mentions that viewers can get 20% off their purchase by using the code THOMAS20. This is a paid partnership that helps support the channel.
Agriculture:
Another topic that Dr. Attia has changed his mind about is agriculture. He used to believe that modern agriculture techniques were causing more harm than good. However, he now believes that there are ways to use modern technology to improve agriculture and reduce harm to the environment.
Nitrogen Spiking:
Thomas DeLauer also discusses the concept of nitrogen spiking during the video. This refers to a practice where supplement companies add extra nitrogen to their products to make it appear that they have more protein. Dr. Attia is skeptical of this practice and believes that it is important for consumers to be aware of it.
Exercise:
Dr. Attia has long been an advocate for the benefits of exercise. However, he has recently become more focused on the specific types of exercise that are most beneficial for longevity. He believes that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training are the most effective types of exercise for promoting longevity.
Metformin:
Finally, Thomas DeLauer discusses Dr. Attia’s skepticism of metformin as a geroprotective molecule. Metformin is a drug that is often prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes. Some studies have suggested that it may also have anti-aging properties. However, Dr. Attia believes that there is not yet enough evidence to fully support its effectiveness as a longevity drug.
Emotional Health:
The video concludes with a discussion of the importance of emotional health. Dr. Attia believes that emotional wellness is a key component of longevity and that it is important to incorporate strategies like mindfulness and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into one’s longevity plan.
Conclusion:
This video provides insight into the changing opinions and beliefs of Dr. Peter Attia regarding the five longevity topics discussed. While it is important to listen to experts like Dr. Attia, it is also important to do your own research and make informed decisions about your own longevity plan.
