Peter Attia
Everything in the library on Peter Attia — the protocols, the science, and what it feels like in practice.
The Science of Longevity: Debunking Myths and Understanding Recovery
Dr. Peter Attia cuts through longevity folklore — why centenarians make terrible role models, why blue zones are largely a myth, and exactly when cold immersion works against you.
The Transformative Power of Sauna: New Insights on Health and Longevity
Finnish data changed Peter Attia's mind: four sauna sessions a week at 80°C correlates with a 40% relative reduction in all-cause mortality. The protocol is precise — and the mechanisms behind it are converging.
The Surprising Health Benefits of Sauna Use: Insights from Dr. Peter Attia
Sauna built a case for longevity across twenty years, two thousand participants, and eleven statistical adjustments. The Finnish data — and the converging biology — moved it from comfort ritual to deliberate protocol.
Understanding Alzheimer's: The Intersection of Genetics, Diabetes, and Brain Health
Metabolic health and brain health share the same fault line. Peter Attia and Rhonda Patrick trace how insulin resistance, the APOE4 gene, and a compromised blood-brain barrier converge — decades before memory loss begins.
The Paradox of IGF-1: Rethinking Diets for Longevity and Healthspan
Dr. Rhonda Patrick rethinks caloric restriction, ketogenic diets, and the IGF-1 paradox — arguing that periods of growth matter as much as restraint for a long, resilient healthspan.
Rethinking Protein: Essential Insights for Muscle Health and Longevity
The RDA for protein was built on flawed science. Peter Attia and Rhonda Patrick unpack what optimal intake actually looks like — and why resistance training is the lever most older adults aren't pulling.
Exploring Resilience and Longevity: Insights from Chris Hemsworth's Journey in 'Limitless'
Chris Hemsworth spent two and a half years fasting four days, swimming the Arctic Ocean, and confronting his limits on camera. What he learned about resilience, longevity, and vulnerability is worth more than the stunts.
Reassessing Cold Plunges and Saunas: What Science Says About Longevity
Peter Attia's analysis is clear: cold earns its place for mood and recovery, not lifespan. Understanding that distinction lets you build a protocol that actually serves your goals.
