Why Diet Won't Increase Your Lifespan! (Longevity Myths) | Peter Attia Pt 1

Beluisteren in app
How is it possible a healthy diet doesn’t increase your lifespan? Is it all for nothing? Today we’re diving into longevity myths we’ve believed for too long.

Peter Attia, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the popular fasting app, you probably have downloaded right now, Zero, and the bestselling author, podcast host, and longevity health expert, is breaking the mold and exposing why we’ve been thinking about lifespan and healthspan all wrong.

His latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like.

In part 1 of this 2 part episode, Peter raises really interesting points on how the size of a person doesn’t accurately point toward metabolic health. One-third of the people that meet the criteria for obesity are actually metabolically healthy and have the same life expectancy of a person with a “healthier” BMI.

What we’re getting wrong about longevity?

Diet isn’t the cure-all it was presented to be

Someone with an obese BMI can be metabolically fit

A lean person who’s metabolically unhealthy has worst outcomes

We’re exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and Peter, being the longevity health expert he is, is highlighting the differences between lifespan and healthspan that is critical in how we achieve success for each of these outcomes.

Stay tuned for part 2 of this episode where Peter starts breaking apart the calorie debate and why it doesn’t hold.

“High cardio-respiratory fitness and high muscle mass and strength are more predictive of a long life than anything else we know.”

“What good is it to have a brain that works if your body actually does not.”
