Suggestions for starting with Peter Attia's The Drive podcast
Hey Noah,
"Can you suggest where to begin among his 250 or so podcasts?"
That's a harder question to answer than it might seem because he covers so much. Also, because I find a lot of this fascinating, I do the deep dive and have trouble filtering. But I'll give it a shot.
I'd consider the zone 2 interviews with Iñigo San Millán. He's a Prof at Colorado State whose specialty is metabolic disease. He's one of Tadej Pogacar's coaches, 2x winner of the Tdf. He's also a former pro cyclist who got badly overweight and out of shape as he was finishing his academic program. He talks about metabolic health and how he used his own advice to regain health. Episodes 85 and 201.
I'd listen to episodes where he talks about the centenarian decathlon, what it means, and what one has to do today to achieve it. #204 and 261.
There are some AMA (ask me anything) episodes, which are typically abridged for non paying subscribers. But there's good info, even if cut off. There's a recent AMA where the whole thing plays. #51, 176, 218, 227, 203, 238, 285. These AMA's tend to emphasize the above topics and heart disease, the first of his four horsemen.
I've also tuned into talk on supplements and drugs. It's why I started taking creatine. I'm also fascinated by so called longevity drugs, especially rapamycin and derivatives. Their payoff is better quality of life, so longevity drugs is a misnomer. #272, 276, 281.
He's done a couple of joint podcasts with Huberman. I now stare at the horizon at dawn and dusk. #286.
Any other topic, go to your favorite podcast client and search on "Attia" and "<the topic name>".
The book is good. Outlive. Almost reference good. Most of the topics are covered. Pretty digestible. You won't get some of the specifics, though.
Whew. You owe me a beer!
