How do we live not just longer, but healthier? And how can we maximize the time we have to do the things we love? We tackle these essential questions, and more, today with longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia.
Dr. Attia is the founder of Early Medical, a medical practice that applies the principles of Medicine 3.0 to help patients lengthen their lifespan and improve their healthspan. He's the host of The Drive, one of the most popular podcasts covering the topics of health and medicine, and the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.
On today’s episode, we talk about the important difference between lifespan and healthspan. Dr. Attia explains what Medicine 3.0 means, and why it’s the next frontier to help prevent chronic diseases. We get into key tactics to optimize healthspan, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, and emotional health. Plus, Dr. Attia gives us some great take home tips on how to regain muscle mass, enhance strength, and improve VO2 max.
As a fellow parent, Dr. Attia shares his advice for cooking as a family, getting your children active, and modeling healthy behavior for our little ones. Dr. Attia’s message is all about looking forward – for your own wellness and the health of your family for years to come.
