Outlive

“Dr. Peter, what is keeping you busy at the moment in terms of the subjects that you wrote about and outlive, but the work that you do online”

“So stretching, no reliable mechanism by which it'll let you live longer, but generally a moderate to high amount of physical activity has a good combination of promoting the longest lifespan and longest health span. I think that's like a Peter AA book title I just said by accident.”

“For example, the top-selling book in the last couple of years was 'Outlive' by Peter Attia, indicating that people are desperate for this information.”

“But there's a reason Peter AA did so well in his book; there's a reason guys like Mark Sisson, who's been calling attention to this, he's been on the show too, have been jumping up and down about this stuff because Americans know.”

“Your book, *Outlive*, beautifully covers these, and I tend to regurgitate some of what you say on this podcast; namely, you want to move appropriately and often enough, so get enough Zone 2 cardio, do your resistance training, keep the nerve-to-muscle connection strong, and avoid the sorts of things that can lead to falls and immobility.”

“If I want to live longer, I described in chapter four of *Outlive* that this is mathematically equivalent in modern society to delaying the onset of chronic diseases.”

“so uh outlive the science and art of longevity this is a big one buddy Look at this look at all this It's a lot of information in this”

“Some of you may know Dr. Attia because he has appeared on this podcast; he wrote the incredible book 'Outlive,' in which he discusses how having a strong spine and the ability to break falls through training is essential to counteract the aging process.”

“You've obviously read Peter Atia's Outlive, which is a great book. I read that too, and that's where the health span concept and the thing that really struck me with that book is he talks about, let's say your dream is at 75 years old, you want to be able to pick up your granddaughter or grandson.”

“And, and yeah it’s funny; another person that I constantly reference is Dr. Peter Attia, and his book Outlive came out recently and is very, very dense, but if for people who don’t follow Attia, I would highly recommend that book; he talks about the centenarian Olympics and basically how he conceptualizes that is, okay, what are the 10 things”

“And yeah, I mean other things, like I mentioned that DNS doctor—so Dr. Peter Attia, who is now like world-famous and he put out a book called 'Outlive,' and he has a podcast called 'The Drive.'”

“Throughout today's discussion, we also talk about Dr. Attia's newly released book, entitled 'Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.'”

“This is a phenomenal book, and I've read it cover to cover three times now, with extensive notes written throughout.”

“The book focuses on longevity and health span, and also includes an extensive section on emotional health.”

“It delves into Dr. Attia's personal experiences with emotional health and actionable tools to improve emotional well-being that are accessible to anyone.”

“I think the best way for me to summarize my feelings about the book would simply be to read the back jacket quote, which I provided.”

“Outlive is not just informative; it is important.'”

“Indeed, 'Outlive' is an important book, as is the discussion that Dr. Attia so graciously provided us in today's episode.”

“'Outlive' was released on March 28th, 2023, and is available for pre-order prior to that date.”

“I'm looking forward to talking about a number of important topics with you that you cover in your book.”

“I know you talk about this in the book, but I've thrown out numbers about 150 to 180 minutes per week.”

“I also do talk about this a little bit in the book, by the way.”

“And you know, I write about this in the book; I think there was a day when my approach to this was purely an engineering approach, which was we're going to optimize every molecule of my being for this, and if you go so far down that rabbit hole that the quality of your life deteriorates, what's the point?”

“The two examples I think I talk about in the book are colon cancer and breast cancer.”

“But for all other cancers that are inside the body, you have to rely on some sort of imaging modality.”

“Well, it's—and I do write about this at length in the chapter on Alzheimer's disease because I think this is a very important point, right?”

“I dedicate a chapter in my book to the concept of stability, as it is foreign to many people.”

“Throughout our conversation, you've mentioned quality of life, and one significant section in your book addresses emotional health.”

“That chapter, being quite long, is distinctly different from the rest of the book.”

“I think the inclusion of that chapter was initially resisted by my co-author, editor, and others involved in the book.”

“However, I disagreed for two main reasons: primarily, I didn’t want to write another book just to cover this material, and secondly, I believe the book must encompass more than just longevity.”

“It [emotional health] can be the most critical aspect, is also the hardest to define.”

“This existence would be dreadful.”

“As I put in my endorsement of it, I think it's not just informative but is indeed important because it centers on so many of the key actionable items related to vitality, health span, and lifespan.”

“The section on emotional health was absolutely profound for me. It inspired a huge number of changes.”

“Please also check out Dr. Attia's new book, which is releasing on March 28, 2023, entitled 'Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.'”
