Thank you for asking. Peter is an amazing resource that has important things to say about longevity that no one else is talking about. 1. Cognitive 2. Physical 3. Mental / Emotional Top Chronic Diseases 1. Heart, Stroke 2. Cancer 3. Neuro Degenerative - Alzhiemers 4. At the base of these 3 diseases is Type 2 Diabetes Reversing Diabetes 1. Intake of Carbs 2. Not enough muscle or mitochondria in the muscle are inefficient. (I would like to know how to increase efficiency) 3. Sleep disturbance 4. Stress - effect on cortisol - effect on glucose (or is it insulin) To overcome stress - we need to undertake a personalize course - coaching / therapy to build emotional resistance. What we need to focus on is different for each of us. Comment to you - Peter was going to do a summary of what to focus on to achieve longevity. He was starting with food and then exercise. You questions caused him to go deeper and deeper into food. Even I knew the answers to this questions, they were basic about food. Bringing him back to exercise and then the other top things to focus on for longevity would have kept us to the objectivity of this video. (The fact that I was able to take good notes indicates you kept him on track the rest of the time - or Peter has great speaking structure.) Finally the piece that was missing to me about emotional resilience is the removal of negative emotional energy from the cells of our body. When we do this, making the cognitive changes that Peter was talking about become so much easier. Not doing this is perhaps why he finds himself in therapy 4 hours a week. There is often energy we need to eliminate before we add different thinking and less repetitive thinking. Thanks for hosting a great interview. I look forward to more.
Good information here but nothing I haven't already heard. The so called 4 horsemen of death he has singled out individually is okay I guess for new people to identify with but actually all 4 of them are interconnected via inflammation which is the root of ALL DISEASE.
Yes my told me many times to look after my health because you only get one go at it.. ..she lived to 97 and got shingles at 96. ..shechad chiken pox as a child. Hard to imagine that it can lie dormant for all those years.
My mother was 95 when she passed. She was the most "positive thinking" person i had ever met. In spite of her debilitating back pain and her complaint of beginning to lose her short term memory, she NEVER complained. She simply would move her mind into life's positives. She laughed often and enjoyed a couple shots of good scotch every late afternoon and loved to sing. An impressively good singer to everyone's amazement. I learned from her that anyone can improve the quality of life by lifting one's attitude, outlook, and love of life.
🥰🥰🥰 good for her. I like to sing, dance, laugh, Hope I can live 70 😂 you name it I got it, but very distance I have good days and I do like to feel happy don't matter if I am in pain.
yeap sleep is that important. You better believe it. Been saying for a long time that we need at least 9 hours a sleep per day, even though doc's keep insisting on 7-8. When i happen to sleep 9-10 hours i wake up a new person, and feeling and looking about 15 years younger. It's getting harder to get that much sleep though as we go past 50.
That's because sleep is the best nutrient :) No matter what one does throughout the day outside real poissons (refiend anything, alcohool, stimulanst, drogs etc) enough sleep would prette much be able to fix all of that ... Obviously, by doing ok during the day + exceptioanl sleep = longest possible life :) And that is what the good generations were doing :)
Lewis, so nice to listen to your programs. I retired as a physician about 16 years ago after a practice of over 45 years. I am in my 93rd year. After retirement I am doing daily exercise, first started with stationary bike. During my active years I used tread mill off and on. Since my retirement, apart from walking, I do my exercises in the bath room. I bend and touch my feet 30 times while the hot water is running on my back specially on the area which is a sore spot. I do 100 partial sit ups, 50 flexion and extension of the hips followed by 30 abduction and adduction of each thigh while really very hot water is running on those areas, followed by completely cold water shower (done cold water showers since my medical school days 70 years ago) and then I do 30 pushbacks on an open frame of the bathroom door! So now I have used this hot and cold showers for years. Now I see people using hot and cold sauna. I have no problem in walking. Over all I am doing pretty good!
@@racheljones4561 For breakfast I have a cup of OJ, handfuls of honey nut cheerios, one toast, one boiled egg, cup of tea followed by a cup of black coffee. At lunch, now I have a couple of red wine ( although, almost all my adult life I had a couple of Scotch at dinner time) and some snacks (potato chips and cashews) At dinner I have fresh salad with lot of greens with olive oil and vinegar, some meat or soup etc.
If you wrote all this at 93, then your mind is doing way better than your body at 93. That regular alcohol intake is proven counter productive to say the least. I wish to have a smart friend in his 90s to have long conversation about his/her life experience. Good luck!
Loved the interview. Just had my 90th birthday and in great health!. Most fun was raising 3 youngsters. Changing their reality was the most challenging. 'If you are all really good, we will have Spinach for dinner'! One son is a world 🌎 famous neuroscientist. His research has been featured in Science Journals as well as the N.Y. Times. Second son is retired and loving life living on the beach in Costa Rica. Daughter living a mile away from me. My parents were Italian immigrants and made sure my brother and I went to college. Isn't life wonderful!
My grandfather lived to be 109 years old and had a sharp and excellent memory. He worked until he was 96 years old and remained active beyond that age. He followed a whole plant-based diet and had a wonderful set of close friends and relatives. He died peacefully in his sleep in 1974..
The best part of the talk is around min 41.0 where Dr Attia emphasized the 4 key components to a Kick Ass 100 year old. He called it Centenarian Training. 1. Stability 2. Strength 3. Mitochondrial Aerobic Efficiency 4. Anaerobic Performance.
@@marvlnsmith8119 careful! You can’t trust someone who kills animals for fun and actually expects longevity! He can’t sleep at night because of all the bad karma, it’s not the late meal!
I really enjoyed this interview and it reached far beyond my expectations. I appreciate the subject and the sincerity of what was discussed. Thanks for the multitude of information given by Dr Attia’s answers . I’m 70 and I feel 40 . Not on any meds no health issues work out and walk briskly daily. Started green juicing and mostly seafood, veggies, dairy and gluten free diet since 1972. I feel great
This video is really valuable to anyone but especially those over 40 years which is when the reality of longevity and quality of life becomes accessible and interesting. As a retired psychotherapist of 75 years, I can thoroughly recommend listening to the whole video because there is so much to learn from its beginning to the very end in a very clear and down to earth manner that anyone can understand and relate too. It covers every stage and most difficulties than we encounter throughout our lives. Well done!!!
Dancing rings my bell. It ticks the boxes for connection, exercise, fun and creativity. I learnt rock and roll at 51, and got hooked on learning dance moves through lockdown. My Dad is still dancing at 84.
By far, the most important thing you can do is cut way back on sugar. And remember, starch is sugar too. Anything with carbs on the label (minus fiber) equals sugar. People need to get this. Starch breaks down into glucose once in the body. In fact, starch is nothing but long chains of glucose. Starch is how plants store sugar for later. In animals, it's called glycogen. Pasta is sugar, rice is sugar, etc. It's all sugar, folks. It all adds up. For the vast majority of humanity, carbohydrate is a non-essential macronutrient. The exception is people with Type 1 or some rare glycogen storage disease. In everyone else, the body doesn't need dietary carbohydrate since the liver can produce glucose from protein. Despite what some groups say (read: militant vegans) this is a perfectly normal, natural state for an adult to be in. Some groups, like the Inuit, spent most of their lives in this state with no ill effects. This state is *not* ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is something completely different. Since carb is non-essential, eating it to excess is not a great idea. Note that there is a difference between, say, broccoli and poptarts. Complex carbs are fine; it's hard to eat a lot of it in one sitting. But refined sugar is basically a slow acting toxin that will damage your nerves, organs and general metabolism over time. If this
@@johntibaldi9496 Low carb can be great for type 1 since it evens out blood sugar and reduces reliance on insulin, but low carb is not 0 carb. If I had type 1, I'd always have some type of carb near me. Blood sugar can fall for many reasons.
LOVE Dr Attia. He's real and honest, and for an alpha male who {externally} seemed in appearances to have so much going for him, I really appreciated his disclosures of his own mental-emotional struggles.
Don't be a fanatic about not eating sugar or sweets. You'll deprive yourself of happiness because you will be denying yourself what you love which makes no sense. In moderation you can enjoy many delicious pies and cookies. I like chocolate chips and pecan coconut cookies and German chocolate cake and much more. My weight is better than average for my height and age. I also love Cold Stone Creamery Ice cream and sometime Ben & Jerry's. I'm very healthy but I only eat in moderation and if I indulge a bit too much at times then I burn off those calories via exercise. The key to being able to enjoy more sweets is taking nutritional supplements to strengthen your arteries and other vital organs and exercising often enough...staying active. Couch potatoes or people with sluggish metabolisms can't afford the luxury of eating too many sweets.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 It doesn't sound fair does it to have a high and healthy metabolism like I do? Some people swear they gain weight just by looking at delicious sweets. I confess as I've grown older I can not eat them like I did when I was younger. I have my limits but I am not a fanatic about abstaining from what I enjoy. My great grandmother lived to be 93 and she made some awesome peach cobbler and pecan pies.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Read the word of God and learn to not trust your own wisdom. Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? How have they cleaned up their act? By trusting in themselves to abstain from sugar and sweets? This action will not save their soul but it might save their body from some harm if they are a diabetic but that's not how they identified themself. 22. These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. 23. Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.…Col. 2:21-22 I know many deceived people who think eating meat is bad for you and they gloat over their vegetarianism and being vegans. Sad and yet God says nothing is unclean in itself if eaten with thankgiving... There is the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:2-5
Forgot...I have type 2. But in 2013 I ignored my health and ate too much sweets and sugar. So my legs quit working. Scared the hell out of me. Thought I had a stroke. But but was neuropathy. My nerves shut down. My friends helped. I started to walk, and in the water. Even acupuncture. Back to the gym after a few months. My nurse said it is ok to have some cake or sweets once in awhile. I learned that I could have lost my sight. As many have. So I try to share this. But still see parents giving their kids all that sugar. A real epidemic. Thanks.
@@addams40 That’s not how man developed. We developed on a carnivore/keto type diet and intermittent fasting is so healthy and effective because people often did not eat for days until someone in the tribe killed a big animal to feed everyone.
Paramedic/RN for 36 years and have seen more death than people in a war zone. I'll tell you off the bat, fat people die young, stupid people die young, smokers die young, heavy drinkers die young, sedate people die young, drug abusers die young, and the mentally weak die young. If you enjoy life you need to make certain sacrifices to get the extra healthy years added. And those people tend to have rational thoughts. The I'd rather burnout than fadeout has its price tag.
@@kirkhupp8886 Let God save you -give Him all your heart and soul and ask for forgiveness for all your sin, ask Him to sanctified you and fill you with His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will give you joy inspeakable and peace that passes all understanding and filled with thankfullness forevermore!!! And when your time comes you will be able to know you are on your way to heaven!!!
Yup, and those who choose to live their lives in the healthiest of ways... die. We all die. When we conquer death, then people will jump on the band wagon.
Over analysing things always leads to stress. Keep things simple, eat a balanced diet, exercise in moderation and be tolerant to other people. Stop obsessing about living longer. In the grand scheme of things it does not matter.
Stress is the number one cause of all disease pretty much. There are people who abused their bodies for decades but they keep a low stress level and live to 100.
Eat a balanced diet is meaningless. It's based on the failed, outdated 1953 Framingham MA cholesterol study that gave us the baloney calories, cholesterol, food groups, food pyramid and ridiculously low RDAs, with no thanks to the corrupted US Health Aurhorities, bowing to the US grain and corn Industries..
@@michaelangelo7310 true. My husband's grandfather is almost 102yo and he smoked for about 50 years and drank a lot of alcohol. Very standar mexican american diet and he still walk, hear and see.
If you live to 100 and all others you know die off, makes extending longevity point definitely mute. Barbara Streisand people who need people. Got to practice detachment for the future isolation if old age. Don't know how I lol handle it. At this point I have a male partner with health conditions out the yazoo. He's 7 years younger! I'm trying to get his health on track. I'm so greatful to have a companion and my health. Many women at my age are not this well off. We are both sober, close to thirty years....that's the bond and chance to have joy and health advances
I used to be good at managing my stress level. I have done many jobs from working outside in the open field, office, and safety, but when I became a nurse my stress level duplicated, and I am struggling to keep my sanity. One good thing is that I will retire next year, and I should be able to quit or decrease my exposure to excess work and its high demands.
Almost 40 years old and bought myself a scooter last summer after watching how much fun my 10 year old was having on one! I get some funny looks when im on it, but im having a blast so who cares! 😁
Amazing. This has been my journey. No one has ever simply explained it and brought it full circle as this discussion does. I'm a very healthy 71. Growth should be a lifelong goal. Thank you. I'll be sharing this as well as listening again from time to time.
I have a girlfriend who has emotional, mental issues she deals with mostly from past events and we talk about them often. It has opened my mind and understanding greatly not only when it comes to her but also in my life
@ Peter Attia, thank you for being so open about the emotional work you are doing. I wish you the best and you are an inspiration. Love to you and your family!!! ❤
You have hit the nail on the head, I use to think older people were making things up until I start experiencing the same things they were talking about as I age.
sooo funny I was JUST thinking about this a few minutes ago. I had recently read some articles on the subject of centenarians and how they managed it. SO FASCINATING, I had noticed TWO different factors emerging really consistently. One, GOOD ATTITUDE. Most subjects responded with a sense of humor, eagerness or positivity in their experience of life. They wer every high-energy (like myself). "Never give up, ever." was a common sort of quote. Two, INDIVIDUALITY. The other major overarching trait I noticed in the respondents were that they all had a kind of quirky response, interest or passion in enjoying life no matter what. A lot of comments to the effect of "I always took time out for myself at least an hour a day no matter what" Or "I walked two hours a day every day, I never owned a car." or "Find your own way in life and love what you do regardless of others' opinions." That sort of thing. Youll hear very little bitterness, regret or laziness with these people.
Fabulous interview! Hits on every aspect of my passion for quality of life. Growing up in a home where it was just me and my beautiful, yet tortured, mom, watching mental illness rob her of her quality of life gave birth to my passion. My pursuit of a high quality life led me to become a life coach. My mission is to uplift humanity by bringing more freedom, fun and fulfillment to life. For those who have a stigma attached to seeing a therapist or who just feel you don’t want one, a life coach can have the same positive impact. We give you a place to step back and examine your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Everyone needs that! It is too complex to untangle on your own. 😊
And what does a life coach cost.? Cause to be honest I'm a Train Reck in every aspect he is discussing here, and unbelievable Stress of so many things in my life. If all is truth he talks about, then I'm one lucky person to still be alive at 64 that's for sure. And I deal with Chronic pain, and trying to raise to grandchildren. I need to watch this over and over everyday, although probably to late at this time in life. Hope all u younger people listen to him.
I am a 66 year old African American female, so much information , eye opener , I love this man , I used to work out a lot 3 years ago and got burned out, would like to start back any advice for me anyone
Nice video, loads of information. I am 58, just started learning about and looking after myself three years ago and feel the best ever. I think I reversed my age by ten years. I do daily cold shower, some intermitent fasting, prolonged fasting of 48 hours every two or three months,exercise at least 4 times a week, eat meat and veggies daily, supplement with D3 B complex, creatine, magnesium, resveratrol, k2 , swim in cold water ocean weekly, sleep 8 hours daily, get olive oil and coconut oil daily. I need to do meditation to complete my program.
I love, love this. This is the reason why I stopped running regularly. I still run but only when I really want to and I don't run more than a 5k now. Occasionally, I'll still do a longer run on a Saturday, but I want to live healthy for a long time, so doing less cardio and more weight training, instead. Thank you for this powerful interview.
@@Onnitfan1 not a big fan of muscle but joints yes, take 500mg magnesium and 4000-1000 IU vit D, plus some lysine once in a while- that should keep your joints in top top. As for the muscle part, just lift light weight or do 20-40 push-ups daily and that will suffice
I had experienced of deep depression where I didn’t really care whether I live or die but what have helped me so Much was my diet with so much greens as my diet and Chinese herbs . I got over it and I am 74 years old now and never get depressed anymore
I am 77. I go to a weight gym and a boxing gym 4-5 day a week. 1-2 hours a session. And did some cross training. Surprised the young folks. Can walk 3 miles on the treadmill at 4mi/ hr. And can hit the bag 3 minutes straight. I use "Precision Sriking". Great for the lockdowns. So in better shape than those half my age. Many who are very obese. I have the type 2. But in control with meds and the exercise. Also, have found that all this exercise has increased my blood flow. (If you know what I mean). However, heavy depression. Isolating. Lost some joy. Lost some friends just for polite political opinions. I use to practice my classic piano. And don't read or study like I use to. But don't want a shrinks pill. I get vet. disability for ptsd. I think the current national crisis has put all of us down. But no excuses. I know what to do. I have traveled to Asia, Latin America, and Asia. But as they say..."wherever you go, there you are". Anyway, thanks for the video.
Me, too!!! I listen to all of his podcast and find him brilliant. I think he is the most amazing doctor. I tried to make an appointment to see him, but he is a concierge doctor. The average person, like me, can not see him. 😞
Really enjoyed this video. Just wanted to mention....My grandmother is consciously hanging on despite strokes for awhile now. Because she knows life is precious even if she is not able to do the things she once loved. She appreciates life perhaps more than ever before. She appreciates being able to see her grandchildren and the birds in the trees. She can't say much, but she can still say "I love you". Human fears about life changes are not the final word.
My precious mother at 90 died from stroke, she was, let’s say, apprehensive of death & had minor strokes since mid 70’s, although she loved life & wanted a much longer life,it was still a kind death, free from fear & pain!
Very informative video! I wish I should have the chance to watch this video 20 years ago. I will be 70 next month. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 20 long years. I thank God for leading me to this video. I had open heart by pass surgery in 2009. My bonus points to reach at this age is the 8 hours of sleep every night, coupled with daily prayers and a weekly fasting.
wonderful to FINALLY witness men discussing the importance and need for therapy...journaling...identifing their feelings and describing them...thank you for opening the door to improved relationship with a man with himself as well as with others...it effects evevryone
Key takeaways… expand an emotional vocabulary… get inspired by intelligence… your career will bring interaction with amazing people. The most striking memories of My 97 year old grandpa were playful, he passed everyone that torch.
The lack of ego between these two is so refreshing. Peter is able to talk about his emotional instability and failure as a parent and Lewis discussing how he intentionally uses a scooter. It’s so smart to lower those walls and shake the ego.
So impressed with this man. To talked so clearly about mental health and how to function on a bigger level. Profound! Thank you Lewis, for bring this kind of thought foreword.
Some pearls from this young health MD. My takeaway..get more sleep!I'm 75, walk the hills, lift weights at gym, only plant based food, zen meditation, time in garden and with loved ones. Would like more science information on saving brain function... THANKS
Now 85 , have chronic Kidney, chronic Heart, chronic Liver and Arthritis and Prostate enlarged, but I still try to get 100 ! Good bless . Thanks for your teaching.great discussions
Peter I love this show. I do have to argue with you about some things. All my life I have had about 3 - 4 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky. As I grew up I found I needed less sleep. My childhood lack of sleep helped me going forward. I got married when I was pretty young. When my first child was born it helped that I didn`t need a lot of sleep. Most of my life I have worked 2 jobs both 8 houtrs. 8 at night and 8 during the day. At that point I had 2 kids that I had to look after as well. After coming home from work, cooking supper, baths for my kids, reading to them before bed and what was left was 2 hours to sleep before I went back to work for the night. I still sleep 3 - 4 hours a night and I am up at 5 am to start my day. Before COVID I was at the gym running on the treadmill for 1.45 hours plus doing weights. I am not young but I don`t feel old. My put it down to the fact that I am always moving. The only time I sit is if I am eating on sitting on my computer. Other than that I am moving. My phone tells me some days I have done 1650 steps and that is inmy home. I am the person with a very healthy 88 year old mum who overcame dementia. I also believe it is because I don`t put any pills inside me. I lead a pretty healthy life. I am also an addiction`s counselor. I started smoking when I was 16. smoked for a lot of years. My dad asked me to try and quit when he was dying. The following year I did quit. I was smoking up to 3 packs a day. I walked away from it after having my last smoke. Stayed away from smoking for 18 years. Went back to smoking to prove a point. Smoked for 2 years and again to prove a point that addictions are not real I gave up smoking by walking away from it again. I am not a super person, just a very strong willed person who loves a challenge. I love it because my children have taken after me. My son was the one who beat diabetes.
To take care of other species in less favorable conditions is a duty too! How can you expect longevity and kill innocent animals for fun! Freaking get your diabetes dor waking up early to go kill!!!!!!😖
YES!!! YES to his 18 things.. I'm 32 and a half as of this minute lol (00:00hrs) I've cut down on weight lifting and I've started yoga. Starting hiking and mobility stretches in the new year.. I don't care what age I die, I just want to go out being able to look after myself. I've done DBT & CBT... Alot of childhood trauma, eating disorders, inflammation.. I'll be dead by 50!
Last year , I completely quit eating oranges , apples , watermelon, grapes , and peaches ... and replaced them with avocados , blueberries and raspberries..And on top of that I started doing intermittent fasting , been doing the 16 / 8 intermittent fasting, at age 43 I feel like I am sitting on top of the world .. I’ve never felt better psychically and sharper mentally than I do now ..!
@@juliettb1565 Because of their high fructose content .. Your liver is the only organ that metabolizes fructose and if you eat these fruits often you will eventually overwork your liver ..
Travel... eat, sleep, water in the mornings, breath, mindfulness, stress less, smile more, yoga, qi gong. Diets differ. Less is more. Great interviews. Thanks ever so much!😃
Bingo! Finally, someone is bringing up how someone who is a conservative eater and overall in good health can become diabetic. I am that person recently diagnosed with prediabetes regardless that I am careful with my diet. I have found difficulties managing stress (work/family), deprived my body of important nutrients and much-needed sleep. I am hoping my next lab to be positive with my new approach to life and caring for my body..
Some key ingredients to longevity are surely moderation in eating and a lifestyle with little stress with some exercise and healthy nutrition. Simple principles but hard to implement for most people
It would be nice to have a Peter Attia Health and Aging certification in Health Span and Life Span. He has valuable information and research and has done the hard work of understanding it. To get his information out there to even more people it would be nice to have a certification that allows people to speak authoritatively about it without dipping into licensure over diet advice and medical dietary cures for diagnoses.
Thank you so very much, Lewis, for this great interview with Dr. Attia! He has so much great information that I feel that I need to listen to this podcast again! The hugest takeaway that I got from this interview is the need to limit my fruit intake. I've been eating 3-4 fruits in the morning for most of my life, along with additional fruit smoothies during the week, and I have rheumatoid arthritis and high triglycerides. I will also try to conquer that Sweet Tooth demon that I've been living with since menopause!
Me all over.. i planted a bay leaf tree (laurel tree) and put a couple of leaves in a cup with hot water and drink it as it infuses, help’s triglycerides.
Fruits are really bad for sugar control. Don't eat more than a very small portion daily. If you really need juicing, vegetable juicing is the one to go, not the fruits
Thank You Lewis & Dr. Attia. Simply one of the best conversations about HEALTH (all aspects) I've ever listened to. Also, to watch & listen to you two Evolving Men dive deep not just into the issues at hand but your own human experiences and evolution is awe inspiring. Thank You both from the bottom of my Heart. In Gratitude ❤LOVE❤
After all the covid stuff I’ve been bombarded with for so long I’ve just been stuck in my kitchen for days on end just listening to podcasts on wellness and health. Kudos to this one. I love how each of you bounced ides off each other. Well my kitchens sparkling, all my drawers are cleaned out. I’m a tired but, happy camper. Greeting and a happy, healthy to all from Madoc, Ontario Canada. Blessings
I learned so much from this interview, some so surprising! I am T 2 diabetic with terrible sleep habits and stress. Going to change this! Thank you for a great talk.
Peter is wise and humble. I appreciate that he mentioned when one of his patients was at a plateau, he asked for a second opinion and suggested she get additional mental help. Constantly looking for better answers and new ways to improve, is definitely a key to personal contentment. Also I appreciate that Peter is honest about continuously working on his self and his mental well being. Another great conversation. Thank You Lewis & Peter
The interviews on this channel are timely and informative. How did a million people sub to this channel before i found it! Dont die a cognitive death! find something you are passionate about and go after it! I wish you joy!
We're different types of people... character, backgrounds etc... listening to different types of people and solutions helps people decide what's best for them. Many thanks. Love interviews by real people.😊
A solution for many many questions that bother us as we grow. Absolutely loved it.. all of it... related to so many things doc had to say.. I totally want to live for at least 105 years and on a super healthy state of body, mind and soul. I remember... I could party all night and then go to work and completely crush it and then go workout.. can't say that for the current day. Not terrible now ...but not the same. Would love that to reverse. Thanks for this podcast both of you. Grateful much! 🙏🙏🙏
The key to longevity....is to protect your DNA ,..eat right, sleep good, exercise, mediation, good medical care, balance in life ... people who do this,.. look half their age and manage to stay disease free or healthy....I have spent an insane amount of time in the sun over the years....but show little skin damage and people will not let me get a senior discount,.. without checking my ID ....
I had to try that, getting off the floor without using hands or elbows..... I did it!, with a little struggle and a couple attempts..... I'm 58, I'll try again at 60
Probably one of your most "listenable", pleasant interview or vlog. Lovely. Will listen to this again whilst I do my crochet later. and share too with my loved ones. xx
LH your guests provides great advice for the up to 60+ group. Try getting on people who are high physically functioning after 70. U will all have a wakeup call
There are horses for courses and tortoises for old age- At 91, walking 5kms in 60 minutes remains a benchmark, ,achieved in a virtual marathon- Never been a sporting or athletic person but just trying to do a little more every day and cook my own plant based menus= still a long way to go painless to 100
Lewis You’ve inspired me in more ways than one. I’ve always had the desire to start a podcast to keep the Inspiration Alive, and I finally did! Thank you again
I did an Ironman at aged 41. It was a bucket list thing. I promised my wife I would retire from endurance training and have done so. (I also ran a number of marathons prior to that) That was 16 years ago. I now work on maintaining good VO2 max (mitochondrial aerobic efficiency - fat burning) with HIIT and strength training; often with body weight exercises. (gravity is your friend).
I dated a pathologist and I’ll never forget what he said . I asked why he doesn’t drink alcohol and he said almost all the deaths are linked to alcohol
I love the amount of respect between Lewis and Peter. This was such excellent podcast. I love how much Lewis has poked Peter's mind. Peter is pure definition of never ending learner, such humility yet such power of knowledge. Muchas gracias Lewis
This episode with Peter Attia is the best (most comprehensive, useful, insightful, relevant, practical, sober, self-reflective initiating) mental health presentation I've ever seen/heard!!!! Outstanding questions/comments/stories asked by Lewis!!!! Am most grateful and thank you!!!!
No one should be afraid to die. It is not our essence that dies, but this temporary body we have assumed. I believe in maintaining the best quality of life while we are here in this realm, but the fact is we are nothing more than energy (vibrating at a particular frequency so we can see/feel/hear our present circumstances). Our spirit/essence always has been and always will be. At the moment of leaving this body and moving out of this realm, we will not feel 'death.' We will return to 'where we came from,' and we will actually resume a more heightened and joyous experience. The energy of all of those we have known (and those we have not) is all around us, we are directly connected to all of them (as well as everyone else sharing this realm at the same time as we are), and when this very, very small part of our entire 'existence' (that which will never end) is over, we will (at that moment) transform (happily) back into 'the all that is.' It will be like water evaporating. When water evaporates, the hydrogen and oxygen don't disappear; they merely change chemically. Water becomes vapor, and recombines into clouds; at the moment of perfect temperature and combination, it becomes rain, falls to the ground - it even might cool enough to become ice or snow, but eventually melts again into water, and once again evaporates. It's an ongoing cycle, and so are we. Our spirit is the same as it moves from 'the all that is' to human life and back again. Do not be afraid. Think of this as an interesting experience and the change back into 'the all that is' as an adventure!
Wow! Forming a Centenarian Club and promoting longevity is great. “Living to 100-and Beyond” by Dr. Michael Fossil is one of my favorite articles. This should be read by folks who like to live above 100 years old. It would be great if majority of us would live beyond 100 years old. Seeing your great great great grandchildren will be very joyous!
Hi, I follow all of Peter's work. What a great duo you two are here - you manage to pull out the key messages that often get lost in the details. Thanks for your good work Lewis!
Dear Lewis , I am 72 , reasonable with health can walk 2.5 miles . Had water in lungs 3 yrs ago nearly history . Had smoking habit of 35 yrs or more quit cigarettes, so lucky . Wonderful wife & family. As for Mr Attia’s monologue the only effects me is lack of sleep. Which all good health professionals advocate. Thank You Mr. Attia & to all just live good clean life exercise , eat right healthy food keep gut and other organs in in good shape & at right time .
Notes: 1) Vascular Dz 2)Cancer 3)Neurodegenerative dz Do you have Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance -effecting 50% of all //Do you have fat accumulation in liver// A1c= how much of your red blood cells are drenched in glucose? Stay below 6.5, reverse by limiting carb intake & sugar and start building muscle Sleep deprivation: 2 weeks of 4 hrs can inhibit you being able to clear glucose out of your system..too much gaming or on phone, alcohol ,late meals& quality of-thermogenics, up past 10 p.m. Try fasting sleep
What a beautiful interview Lewis. I learnt so much. Dr. Attia comes across as such a humble, honest, and helpful guy. And you are awesome Lewis. You ask the questions that are going through your viewers mind. And you are not afraid to say when you don't know something. Always, always enjoy your interviews. They richly add to my quest for a healthful life. Thank you. 😊
My grandmother just turned 95. She still lives independently in her own home. Does all her own cooking and cleaning. She walked 5 miles a day EVERY day from the time she was in her 40's until she was 88( she was in a car wreck at 88 and fractured ribs and that slowed her walking doewn) she eats ou tof her garden. It huge and bakes her own bread( her rolls are too die for)I really think she will make 100

Thank you for asking. Peter is an amazing resource that has important things to say about longevity that no one else is talking about.
1. Cognitive
2. Physical
3. Mental / Emotional
Top Chronic Diseases
1. Heart, Stroke
2. Cancer
3. Neuro Degenerative - Alzhiemers
4. At the base of these 3 diseases is Type 2 Diabetes
Reversing Diabetes
1. Intake of Carbs
2. Not enough muscle or mitochondria in the muscle are inefficient. (I would like to know how to increase efficiency)
3. Sleep disturbance
4. Stress - effect on cortisol - effect on glucose (or is it insulin)
To overcome stress - we need to undertake a personalize course - coaching / therapy to build emotional resistance. What we need to focus on is different for each of us.
Comment to you - Peter was going to do a summary of what to focus on to achieve longevity. He was starting with food and then exercise. You questions caused him to go deeper and deeper into food. Even I knew the answers to this questions, they were basic about food. Bringing him back to exercise and then the other top things to focus on for longevity would have kept us to the objectivity of this video. (The fact that I was able to take good notes indicates you kept him on track the rest of the time - or Peter has great speaking structure.)
Finally the piece that was missing to me about emotional resilience is the removal of negative emotional energy from the cells of our body. When we do this, making the cognitive changes that Peter was talking about become so much easier.
Not doing this is perhaps why he finds himself in therapy 4 hours a week. There is often energy we need to eliminate before we add different thinking and less repetitive thinking.
Thanks for hosting a great interview. I look forward to more.
Having Cerebral Palsy i sleep 10-12 hours a night and that's ok
Good information here but nothing I haven't already heard. The so called 4 horsemen of death he has singled out individually is okay I guess for new people to identify with but actually all 4 of them are interconnected via inflammation which is the root of ALL DISEASE.
My mother always said that without your health, you have nothing... So true
I remember when I was younger, older people used to say health was the most important, I now know they were right.
Yes my told me many times to look after my health because you only get one go at it.. ..she lived to 97 and got shingles at 96. ..shechad chiken pox as a child. Hard to imagine that it can lie dormant for all those years.
Good information for us that want to live a good quality of life.
Soo true 👍
What a wise woman.
My mother was 95 when she passed. She was the most "positive thinking" person i had ever met. In spite of her debilitating back pain and her complaint of beginning to lose her short term memory, she NEVER complained. She simply would move her mind into life's positives. She laughed often and enjoyed a couple shots of good scotch every late afternoon and loved to sing. An impressively good singer to everyone's amazement. I learned from her that anyone can improve the quality of life by lifting one's attitude, outlook, and love of life.
Bravo !
That’s so awesome and thank you so much for sharing.
Attitude, Outlook and Love of Life matters!
WOW
🥰🥰🥰 good for her.
I like to sing, dance, laugh, Hope I can live 70 😂
you name it I got it, but very distance I have good days and I do like to feel happy don't matter if I am in pain.
My 98-year-old father consistently sleeps 12 hours a day. He is the picture of health and is never sick...and still has a sharp mind and lives alone 👍
yeap sleep is that important. You better believe it. Been saying for a long time that we need at least 9 hours a sleep per day, even though doc's keep insisting on 7-8. When i happen to sleep 9-10 hours i wake up a new person, and feeling and looking about 15 years younger. It's getting harder to get that much sleep though as we go past 50.
All sharp men live alone wives make men stupid
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740 so true. The same goes for ladies, husbands make women stupid.
That's because sleep is the best nutrient :) No matter what one does throughout the day outside real poissons (refiend anything, alcohool, stimulanst, drogs etc) enough sleep would prette much be able to fix all of that ... Obviously, by doing ok during the day + exceptioanl sleep = longest possible life :) And that is what the good generations were doing :)

Lewis, so nice to listen to your programs. I retired as a physician about 16 years ago after a practice of over 45 years. I am in my 93rd year. After retirement I am doing daily exercise, first started with stationary bike. During my active years I used tread mill off and on. Since my retirement, apart from walking, I do my exercises in the bath room. I bend and touch my feet 30 times while the hot water is running on my back specially on the area which is a sore spot. I do 100 partial sit ups, 50 flexion and extension of the hips followed by 30 abduction and adduction of each thigh while really very hot water is running on those areas, followed by completely cold water shower (done cold water showers since my medical school days 70 years ago) and then I do 30 pushbacks on an open frame of the bathroom door! So now I have used this hot and cold showers for years. Now I see people using hot and cold sauna. I have no problem in walking. Over all I am doing pretty good!
🙌
What do you eat?
@@racheljones4561 For breakfast I have a cup of OJ, handfuls of honey nut cheerios, one toast, one boiled egg, cup of tea followed by a cup of black coffee.
At lunch, now I have a couple of red wine ( although, almost all my adult life I had a couple of Scotch at dinner time) and some snacks (potato chips and cashews)
At dinner I have fresh salad with lot of greens with olive oil and vinegar, some meat or soup etc.
If you wrote all this at 93, then your mind is doing way better than your body at 93. That regular alcohol intake is proven counter productive to say the least. I wish to have a smart friend in his 90s to have long conversation about his/her life experience. Good luck!
@@luisOctubre64 Thank you so much Luis. I know alcohol is not good!
Loved the interview. Just had my 90th birthday and in great health!. Most fun was raising 3 youngsters. Changing their reality was the most challenging. 'If you are all really good, we will have Spinach for dinner'! One son is a world 🌎 famous neuroscientist. His research has been featured in Science Journals as well as the N.Y. Times. Second son is retired and loving life living on the beach in Costa Rica. Daughter living a mile away from me. My parents were Italian immigrants and made sure my brother and I went to college.

My grandfather lived to be 109 years old and had a sharp and excellent memory. He worked until he was 96 years old and remained active beyond that age. He followed a whole plant-based diet and had a wonderful set of close friends and relatives. He died peacefully in his sleep in 1974..

What country and city please ? Environmental factors play major role in health & longevity.

Plant based diet?!!!
Wow 109 , I’m 6 yrs plant based at age 53 🙏
The best part of the talk is around min 41.0 where Dr Attia emphasized the 4 key components to a Kick Ass 100 year old. He called it Centenarian Training.
1. Stability
2. Strength
3. Mitochondrial Aerobic Efficiency
4. Anaerobic Performance.
Thank you I love it when people give the brake down of the video
@@marvlnsmith8119 careful! You can’t trust someone who kills animals for fun and actually expects longevity! He can’t sleep at night because of all the bad karma, it’s not the late meal!
That’s what I’ve been searching for. Thank you so much!
@@ca9125 annnnd you can't sleep at night because you're too busy judging others? Of all the centenarian populations, only Loma Linda is vegetarian.
#1 should be "Have good genes".
Without that, it doesn't much matter what you do, you're not hitting 100.
I really enjoyed this interview and it reached far beyond my expectations. I appreciate the subject and the sincerity of what was discussed. Thanks for the multitude of information given by Dr Attia’s answers . I’m 70 and I feel 40 . Not on any meds no health issues work out and walk briskly daily. Started green juicing and mostly seafood, veggies, dairy and gluten free diet since 1972. I feel great
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, you are a warrior! And INSPIRATION to me.
@@lewishowes always enjoy interviews. You’re in my library. Thank you I look forward to seeing your show ( I’d like to call it that).
This video is really valuable to anyone but especially those over 40 years which is when the reality of longevity and quality of life becomes accessible and interesting. As a retired psychotherapist of 75 years, I can thoroughly recommend listening to the whole video because there is so much to learn from its beginning to the very end in a very clear and down to earth manner that anyone can understand and relate too. It covers every stage and most difficulties than we encounter throughout our lives. Well done!!!
Dancing rings my bell. It ticks the boxes for connection, exercise, fun and creativity. I learnt rock and roll at 51, and got hooked on learning dance moves through lockdown. My Dad is still dancing at 84.
By far, the most important thing you can do is cut way back on sugar. And remember, starch is sugar too. Anything with carbs on the label (minus fiber) equals sugar. People need to get this. Starch breaks down into glucose once in the body. In fact, starch is nothing but long chains of glucose. Starch is how plants store sugar for later. In animals, it's called glycogen. Pasta is sugar, rice is sugar, etc. It's all sugar, folks. It all adds up.
For the vast majority of humanity, carbohydrate is a non-essential macronutrient. The exception is people with Type 1 or some rare glycogen storage disease. In everyone else, the body doesn't need dietary carbohydrate since the liver can produce glucose from protein. Despite what some groups say (read: militant vegans) this is a perfectly normal, natural state for an adult to be in. Some groups, like the Inuit, spent most of their lives in this state with no ill effects. This state is *not* ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is something completely different. Since carb is non-essential, eating it to excess is not a great idea. Note that there is a difference between, say, broccoli and poptarts.
Complex carbs are fine; it's hard to eat a lot of it in one sitting. But refined sugar is basically a slow acting toxin that will damage your nerves, organs and general metabolism over time. If this
Wow, very informative! 👏👏👍💪🙏
The brain doesn't need insulin to take up glucose.
@@sovereign775 But it does need insulin to regulate cognition and memory. Insulin resistance in the brain is not good.
Why are carbs essential for type 1?
@@johntibaldi9496 Low carb can be great for type 1 since it evens out blood sugar and reduces reliance on insulin, but low carb is not 0 carb. If I had type 1, I'd always have some type of carb near me. Blood sugar can fall for many reasons.
He is so incredibly articulate, that you have to have confidence that he knows what he’s talking about.it all sounds plausible.
Except for going “hunting”.....who kills for fun and expects health and longevity??????? He never heard of karma?????
All the best con salespeople and politicians are. It doesn't mean they are right. It just means that they are very confident and articulate.
LOVE Dr Attia. He's real and honest, and for an alpha male who {externally} seemed in appearances to have so much going for him, I really appreciated his disclosures of his own mental-emotional struggles.
This video made me stop eating sweets, & I'm a sugar/chocolate addict. It's been 1 month since I've had any sweets.
Don't be a fanatic about not eating sugar or sweets. You'll deprive yourself of happiness because you will be denying yourself what you love which makes no sense. In moderation you can enjoy many delicious pies and cookies. I like chocolate chips and pecan coconut cookies and German chocolate cake and much more. My weight is better than average for my height and age. I also love Cold Stone Creamery Ice cream and sometime Ben & Jerry's. I'm very healthy but I only eat in moderation and if I indulge a bit too much at times then I burn off those calories via exercise. The key to being able to enjoy more sweets is taking nutritional supplements to strengthen your arteries and other vital organs and exercising often enough...staying active. Couch potatoes or people with sluggish metabolisms can't afford the luxury of eating too many sweets.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 It doesn't sound fair does it to have a high and healthy metabolism like I do? Some people swear they gain weight just by looking at delicious sweets. I confess as I've grown older I can not eat them like I did when I was younger. I have my limits but I am not a fanatic about abstaining from what I enjoy.
My great grandmother lived to be 93 and she made some awesome peach cobbler and pecan pies.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Read the word of God and learn to not trust your own wisdom. Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? How have they cleaned up their act? By trusting in themselves to abstain from
sugar and sweets? This action will not save their soul but it might save their body from some harm if they are a diabetic but that's not how they identified themself. 22. These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. 23. Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.…Col. 2:21-22 I know many deceived people who think eating meat is bad for you and they gloat over their vegetarianism and being vegans. Sad and yet God says nothing is unclean in itself if eaten with thankgiving...
There is the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:2-5
My friend that weight 400lbs, and she went to work in a bakery. She said she gained 100lbs in one month.
Good on ya yol! Eating like shouldn't make you happy. Its the same as alcohol making someone happy. Im happy for you
Forgot...I have type 2. But in 2013 I ignored my health and ate too much sweets and sugar. So my legs quit working. Scared the hell out of me. Thought I had a stroke. But but was neuropathy. My nerves shut down. My friends helped. I started to walk, and in the water. Even acupuncture. Back to the gym after a few months. My nurse said it is ok to have some cake or sweets once in awhile. I learned that I could have lost my sight. As many have. So I try to share this. But still see parents giving their kids all that sugar. A real epidemic. Thanks.

Over analysing things always leads to stress. Keep things simple, eat a balanced diet, exercise in moderation and be tolerant to other people. Stop obsessing about living longer. In the grand scheme of things it does not matter.
Stress is the number one cause of all disease pretty much. There are people who abused their bodies for decades but they keep a low stress level and live to 100.
Eat a balanced diet is meaningless. It's based on the failed, outdated 1953 Framingham MA cholesterol study that gave us the baloney calories, cholesterol, food groups, food pyramid and ridiculously low RDAs, with no thanks to the corrupted US Health Aurhorities, bowing to the US grain and corn Industries..

I used to be good at managing my stress level. I have done many jobs from working outside in the open field, office, and safety, but when I became a nurse my stress level duplicated, and I am struggling to keep my sanity.

Not bad hahaha
👍 how are you
You have hit the nail on the head, I use to think older people were making things up until I start experiencing the same things they were talking about as I age.
sooo funny I was JUST thinking about this a few minutes ago. I had recently read some articles on the subject of centenarians and how they managed it. SO FASCINATING, I had noticed TWO different factors emerging really consistently. One, GOOD ATTITUDE. Most subjects responded with a sense of humor, eagerness or positivity in their experience of life. They wer every high-energy (like myself). "Never give up, ever." was a common sort of quote. Two, INDIVIDUALITY. The other major overarching trait I noticed in the respondents were that they all had a kind of quirky response, interest or passion in enjoying life no matter what. A lot of comments to the effect of "I always took time out for myself at least an hour a day no matter what" Or "I walked two hours a day every day, I never owned a car." or "Find your own way in life and love what you do regardless of others' opinions." That sort of thing. Youll hear very little bitterness, regret or laziness with these people.
Fabulous interview! Hits on every aspect of my passion for quality of life. Growing up in a home where it was just me and my beautiful, yet tortured, mom, watching mental illness rob her of her quality of life gave birth to my passion. My pursuit of a high quality life led me to become a life coach. My mission is to uplift humanity by bringing more freedom, fun and fulfillment to life. For those who have a stigma attached to seeing a therapist or who just feel you don’t want one, a life coach can have the same positive impact. We give you a place to step back and examine your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Everyone needs that! It is too complex to untangle on your own. 😊

And what does a life coach cost.? Cause to be honest I'm a Train Reck in every aspect he is discussing here, and unbelievable Stress of so many things in my life. If all is truth he talks about, then I'm one lucky person to still be alive at 64 that's for sure. And I deal with Chronic pain, and trying to raise to grandchildren. I need to watch this over and over everyday, although probably to late at this time in life. Hope all u younger people listen to him.

Nice video, loads of information. I am 58, just started learning about and looking after myself three years ago and feel the best ever. I think I reversed my age by ten years.

Occasionally, I'll still do a longer run on a Saturday, but I want to live healthy for a long time, so doing less cardio and more weight training, instead. Thank you for this powerful interview.

But in control with meds and the exercise. Also, have found that all this exercise has increased my blood flow. (If you know what I mean). However, heavy depression. Isolating. Lost some joy. Lost some friends just for polite political opinions. I use to practice my classic piano. And don't read or study like I use to. But don't want a shrinks pill. I get vet. disability for ptsd. I think the current national crisis has put all of us down. But no excuses. I know what to do. I have traveled to Asia, Latin America, and Asia. But as they say..."wherever you go, there you are". Anyway, thanks for the video.
That was "Precision Striking" on the internet.
How are you?

I really love Dr. Peter Attis’ content, he never fails to amaze me. Such a smart and wise man.
He has 3 psychotherapists, he trains 12 hrs a week, he takes drugs and supplements. I dont know what's so amazing
Me, too!!! I listen to all of his podcast and find him brilliant. I think he is the most amazing doctor. I tried to make an appointment to see him, but he is a concierge doctor. The average person, like me, can not see him. 😞
@@elenadorobat9772 what is wrong with doing that? He is working hard on becoming better And is open about it. I respect that!
Really enjoyed this video. Just wanted to mention....My grandmother is consciously hanging on despite strokes for awhile now. Because she knows life is precious even if she is not able to do the things she once loved. She appreciates life perhaps more than ever before. She appreciates being able to see her grandchildren and the birds in the trees. She can't say much, but she can still say "I love you". Human fears about life changes are not the final word.
My precious mother at 90 died from stroke, she was, let’s say, apprehensive of death & had minor strokes since mid 70’s, although she loved life & wanted a much longer life,it was still a kind death, free from fear & pain!
Very informative video! I wish I should have the chance to watch this video 20 years ago. I will be 70 next month. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 20 long years. I thank God for leading me to this video.
I had open heart by pass surgery in 2009. My bonus points to reach at this age is the 8 hours of sleep every night, coupled with daily prayers and a weekly fasting.
Job
wonderful to FINALLY witness men discussing the importance and need for therapy...journaling...identifing their feelings and describing them...thank you for opening the door to improved relationship with a man with himself as well as with others...it effects evevryone
At what time?
Key takeaways… expand an emotional vocabulary… get inspired by intelligence… your career will bring interaction with amazing people.
The most striking memories of My 97 year old grandpa were playful, he passed everyone that torch.
Mine too! Tennis, chess, he kept on playing.
The lack of ego between these two is so refreshing. Peter is able to talk about his emotional instability and failure as a parent and Lewis discussing how he intentionally uses a scooter. It’s so smart to lower those walls and shake the ego.

Very true , its great listening to them , while i work .
So impressed with this man. To talked so clearly about mental health and how to function on a bigger level. Profound! Thank you Lewis, for bring this kind of thought foreword.
Some pearls from this young health MD. My takeaway..get more sleep!I'm 75, walk the hills, lift weights at gym, only plant based food, zen meditation, time in garden and with loved ones. Would like more science information on saving brain function... THANKS
👍
Now 85 , have chronic Kidney, chronic Heart, chronic Liver and Arthritis and Prostate enlarged, but I still try to get 100 ! Good bless .
Thanks for your teaching.great discussions
Ok
Peter I love this show. I do have to argue with you about some things. All my life I have had about 3 - 4 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky. As I grew up I found I needed less sleep. My childhood lack of sleep helped me going forward. I got married when I was pretty young. When my first child was born it helped that I didn`t need a lot of sleep. Most of my life I have worked 2 jobs both 8 houtrs. 8 at night and 8 during the day. At that point I had 2 kids that I had to look after as well. After coming home from work, cooking supper, baths for my kids, reading to them before bed and what was left was 2 hours to sleep before I went back to work for the night. I still sleep 3 - 4 hours a night and I am up at 5 am to start my day. Before COVID I was at the gym running on the treadmill for 1.45 hours plus doing weights. I am not young but I don`t feel old. My put it down to the fact that I am always moving. The only time I sit is if I am eating on sitting on my computer. Other than that I am moving. My phone tells me some days I have done 1650 steps and that is inmy home. I am the person with a very healthy 88 year old mum who overcame dementia. I also believe it is because I don`t put any pills inside me. I lead a pretty healthy life. I am also an addiction`s counselor. I started smoking when I was 16. smoked for a lot of years. My dad asked me to try and quit when he was dying. The following year I did quit. I was smoking up to 3 packs a day. I walked away from it after having my last smoke. Stayed away from smoking for 18 years. Went back to smoking to prove a point. Smoked for 2 years and again to prove a point that addictions are not real I gave up smoking by walking away from it again. I am not a super person, just a very strong willed person who loves a challenge. I love it because my children have taken after me. My son was the one who beat diabetes.
You are ace. A genius 👏. Well done.
When you say any pills, do you refer to vitamins too?I can't live without Magnesium, Zn and B vitamins, they help me a lot.
“To keep the body in good health is a duty…otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear.”
I would formulate that in reverse 😃 as we are creating from the field, not the matter. The body only reflects your mind.
To take care of other species in less favorable conditions is a duty too! How can you expect longevity and kill innocent animals for fun! Freaking get your diabetes dor waking up early to go kill!!!!!!😖
Peter is the only guy who is grounded enough and informed enough to be trusted with medical facts and health advice. Loved this talk! Thanks.
YES!!! YES to his 18 things.. I'm 32 and a half as of this minute lol (00:00hrs) I've cut down on weight lifting and I've started yoga. Starting hiking and mobility stretches in the new year.. I don't care what age I die, I just want to go out being able to look after myself.
I've done DBT & CBT... Alot of childhood trauma, eating disorders, inflammation.. I'll be dead by 50!
Last year , I completely quit eating oranges , apples , watermelon, grapes , and peaches ... and replaced them with avocados , blueberries and raspberries..And on top of that I started doing intermittent fasting , been doing the 16 / 8 intermittent fasting, at age 43 I feel like I am sitting on top of the world .. I’ve never felt better psychically and sharper mentally than I do now ..!
Blackberries are even better.
Why did you quit these fruits all together?
@@juliettb1565 Because of their high fructose content .. Your liver is the only organ that metabolizes fructose and if you eat these fruits often you will eventually overwork your liver ..
@@mustafabaris9681 really good to know
@@mustafabaris9681 berries don't spike insulin
To live longer no worries peace of mind contented in life financially stable eat healthy active and praying ❤️🇸🇽🇺🇸
Prayer is imperative..
Travel... eat, sleep, water in the mornings, breath, mindfulness, stress less, smile more, yoga, qi gong. Diets differ. Less is more. Great interviews. Thanks ever so much!😃
Bingo! Finally, someone is bringing up how someone who is a conservative eater and overall in good health can become diabetic. I am that person recently diagnosed with prediabetes regardless that I am careful with my diet. I have found difficulties managing stress (work/family), deprived my body of important nutrients and much-needed sleep. I am hoping my next lab to be positive with my new approach to life and caring for my body..
Some key ingredients to longevity are surely moderation in eating and a lifestyle with little stress with some exercise and healthy nutrition. Simple principles but hard to implement for most people
They are not hard to implement; they are hard to do consistently over a long period of time.
That's y u make it a lifestyle
Something that animal killers won’t obtain! He wants to live longer, but he goes hunting!!!!!!! Karma got to his hair already!
@Steve Warlee what scripture is that? Thanks!
@Steve Warlee thank you so much!!!✝️
It would be nice to have a Peter Attia Health and Aging certification in Health Span and Life Span. He has valuable information and research and has done the hard work of understanding it. To get his information out there to even more people it would be nice to have a certification that allows people to speak authoritatively about it without dipping into licensure over diet advice and medical dietary cures for diagnoses.
I’ve been following Peter for several years and he is super articulate in this interview. Bravo.
Thank you so very much, Lewis, for this great interview with Dr. Attia! He has so much great information that I feel that I need to listen to this podcast again! The hugest takeaway that I got from this interview is the need to limit my fruit intake. I've been eating 3-4 fruits in the morning for most of my life, along with additional fruit smoothies during the week, and I have rheumatoid arthritis and high triglycerides. I will also try to conquer that Sweet Tooth demon that I've been living with since menopause!
Hey you could be eating worse sweets. You got this girl!
Me all over.. i planted a bay leaf tree (laurel tree) and put a couple of leaves in a cup with hot water and drink it as it infuses, help’s triglycerides.
Fruits are really bad for sugar control. Don't eat more than a very small portion daily. If you really need juicing, vegetable juicing is the one to go, not the fruits
Such a mind-blowing interview. Dr Attia is my favourite intellectual... But this one went above and beyond!
The wisdom of Dr Attia is amazing
🧡
Thank You Lewis & Dr. Attia. Simply one of the best conversations about HEALTH (all aspects) I've ever listened to. Also, to watch & listen to you two Evolving Men dive deep not just into the issues at hand but your own human experiences and evolution is awe inspiring. Thank You both from the bottom of my Heart. In Gratitude ❤LOVE❤
You're welcome,thank you for being here 💜
After all the covid stuff I’ve been bombarded with for so long I’ve just been stuck in my kitchen for days on end just listening to podcasts on wellness and health. Kudos to this one. I love how each of you bounced ides off each other. Well my kitchens sparkling, all my drawers are cleaned out. I’m a tired but, happy camper. Greeting and a happy, healthy to all from Madoc, Ontario Canada. Blessings
I am 50 years old anti-inflamation, longevity, and homeostasis are my focus but faith handles a lot of the mental part of all that.
I learned so much from this interview, some so surprising! I am T 2 diabetic with terrible sleep habits and stress. Going to change this! Thank you for a great talk.
Hey we need to talk
I have completely reversed diabetes and NAFLD with the Ketogenic diet. I have cut out ALL carbs and refined oils. My A1C is now down to 5.0 😀
It's been 3 months since you posted. Were you successful in making changes?
💜🙏🏻
A Terminator diabetic? Wow, that’s badass.
Peter is wise and humble. I appreciate that he mentioned when one of his patients was at a plateau, he asked for a second opinion and suggested she get additional mental help. Constantly looking for better answers and new ways to improve, is definitely a key to personal contentment. Also I appreciate that Peter is honest about continuously working on his self and his mental well being.
Another great conversation. Thank You Lewis & Peter
A positive attitude is huge.
Absolutely! 💯
The interviews on this channel are timely and informative. How did a million people sub to this channel before i found it! Dont die a cognitive death! find something you are passionate about and go after it! I wish you joy!
Well said! everything I wanted to say.
Yes is true. But sometimes a sassing long becoz of conifeussion by peoples.
100% 😃
We're different types of people... character, backgrounds etc... listening to different types of people and solutions helps people decide what's best for them. Many thanks. Love interviews by real people.😊
This gentleman, is brilliant, soothing, convincing, factual and hopeful.
A solution for many many questions that bother us as we grow. Absolutely loved it.. all of it... related to so many things doc had to say.. I totally want to live for at least 105 years and on a super healthy state of body, mind and soul. I remember...
I could party all night and then go to work and completely crush it and then go workout.. can't say that for the current day. Not terrible now ...but not the same. Would love that to reverse. Thanks for this podcast both of you. Grateful much! 🙏🙏🙏
The key to longevity....is to protect your DNA ,..eat right, sleep good, exercise, mediation, good medical care, balance in life ... people who do this,.. look half their age and manage to stay disease free or healthy....I have spent an insane amount of time in the sun over the years....but show little skin damage and people will not let me get a senior discount,.. without checking my ID ....
I had to try that, getting off the floor without using hands or elbows..... I did it!, with a little struggle and a couple attempts..... I'm 58, I'll try again at 60
Dr Peter Attia is brilliant and this was such a great interview. Good work both of you.
He is a great speaker. Very clear and good pace.
Lewis gets the best information and insights into the public consciousness. I am so glad to be alive in a time when savant outliers are so accessible.
Probably one of your most "listenable", pleasant interview or vlog. Lovely. Will listen to this again whilst I do my crochet later. and share too with my loved ones. xx
When Piter is talking I can look at him as on fire. The best brain ever. Thank you for another episode.
I’m sure « Piter » will be glad to read this! :)
What is a piter?
When the diets wrong the medicine wont work, when the diets right the medicines not needed.
I love ur statement❤️❤️🙏💐💝. Its so true 👌👌👏👏👏
I agree 100%
.
If only it was such a one size fits all statement.
Truth
Peter is world -renowned expert in his field and there's alot of negative comments from people who aren't neither of the two and never will be.
It's dangerous to believe that someone has all the truths. Question everything...especially the "experts".
LH your guests provides great advice for the up to 60+ group. Try getting on people who are high physically functioning after 70. U will all have a wakeup call
There are horses for courses and tortoises for old age- At 91, walking 5kms in 60 minutes remains a benchmark, ,achieved in a virtual marathon- Never been a sporting or athletic person but just trying to do a little more every day and cook my own plant based menus= still a long way to go painless to 100
thank you
really educational
This program is THEE BEST on TH-cam for the most valuable information for healthy living!!👍👏❤❤
Lewis You’ve inspired me in more ways than one. I’ve always had the desire to start a podcast to keep the Inspiration Alive, and I finally did! Thank you again
I did an Ironman at aged 41. It was a bucket list thing. I promised my wife I would retire from endurance training and have done so. (I also ran a number of marathons prior to that) That was 16 years ago. I now work on maintaining good VO2 max (mitochondrial aerobic efficiency - fat burning) with HIIT and strength training; often with body weight exercises. (gravity is your friend).
I dated a pathologist and I’ll never forget what he said . I asked why he doesn’t drink alcohol and he said almost all the deaths are linked to alcohol
@@johndoh4523 lol
He is boring
@@kevintoth5365 "sense"
Almost "all" the deaths are linked to alcohol?
What deaths?
How?
@@emilyc5625 yeah hard to believe
Dr. Attia for surgeon general! I've followed his work and research on longetivity for a long time now. Highly recommend his podcoast.
Yeah he could help the demented president elect. But maybe not with the where's Hunter crime!
I love the amount of respect between Lewis and Peter. This was such excellent podcast. I love how much Lewis has poked Peter's mind. Peter is pure definition of never ending learner, such humility yet such power of knowledge. Muchas gracias Lewis
Appreciate you and your support🧡
@@lewishowes ⁰
This episode with Peter Attia is the best (most comprehensive, useful, insightful, relevant, practical, sober, self-reflective initiating) mental health presentation I've ever seen/heard!!!! Outstanding questions/comments/stories asked by Lewis!!!! Am most grateful and thank you!!!!
🧡
I came here from the drive podcast and let me just say every time I see/listen to a Peter Attia interview I want to be like him.
No one should be afraid to die. It is not our essence that dies, but this temporary body we have assumed. I believe in maintaining the best quality of life while we are here in this realm, but the fact is we are nothing more than energy (vibrating at a particular frequency so we can see/feel/hear our present circumstances). Our spirit/essence always has been and always will be. At the moment of leaving this body and moving out of this realm, we will not feel 'death.' We will return to 'where we came from,' and we will actually resume a more heightened and joyous experience. The energy of all of those we have known (and those we have not) is all around us, we are directly connected to all of them (as well as everyone else sharing this realm at the same time as we are), and when this very, very small part of our entire 'existence' (that which will never end) is over, we will (at that moment) transform (happily) back into 'the all that is.' It will be like water evaporating.
When water evaporates, the hydrogen and oxygen don't disappear; they merely change chemically. Water becomes vapor, and recombines into clouds; at the moment of perfect temperature and combination, it becomes rain, falls to the ground - it even might cool enough to become ice or snow, but eventually melts again into water, and once again evaporates. It's an ongoing cycle, and so are we. Our spirit is the same as it moves from 'the all that is' to human life and back again. Do not be afraid. Think of this as an interesting experience and the change back into 'the all that is' as an adventure!
I don't want to live that long but the time I'm here, I do want to feel good and live pain free.
Wow! Forming a Centenarian Club and promoting longevity is great. “Living to 100-and Beyond” by Dr. Michael Fossil is one of my favorite articles. This should be read by folks who like to live above 100 years old. It would be great if majority of us would live beyond 100 years old. Seeing your great great great grandchildren will be very joyous!
Hi, I follow all of Peter's work. What a great duo you two are here - you manage to pull out the key messages that often get lost in the details. Thanks for your good work Lewis!
Dear Lewis , I am 72 , reasonable with health can walk 2.5 miles . Had water in lungs 3 yrs ago nearly history . Had smoking habit of 35 yrs or more quit cigarettes, so lucky . Wonderful wife & family. As for Mr Attia’s monologue the only effects me is lack of sleep. Which all good health professionals advocate. Thank You Mr. Attia & to all just live good clean life exercise , eat right healthy food keep gut and other organs in in good shape & at right time .
👍
Notes:
1) Vascular Dz
2)Cancer
3)Neurodegenerative dz Do you have Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance -effecting 50% of all //Do you have fat accumulation in liver// A1c= how much of your red blood cells are drenched in glucose? Stay below 6.5, reverse by limiting carb intake & sugar and start building muscle
Sleep deprivation: 2 weeks of 4 hrs can inhibit you being able to clear glucose out of your system..too much gaming or on phone, alcohol ,late meals& quality of-thermogenics, up past 10 p.m. Try fasting sleep
What a beautiful interview Lewis. I learnt so much. Dr. Attia comes across as such a humble, honest, and helpful guy. And you are awesome Lewis. You ask the questions that are going through your viewers mind. And you are not afraid to say when you don't know something. Always, always enjoy your interviews. They richly add to my quest for a healthful life. Thank you. 😊
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
My grandmother just turned 95. She still lives independently in her own home. Does all her own cooking and cleaning. She walked 5 miles a day EVERY day from the time she was in her 40's until she was 88( she was in a car wreck at 88 and fractured ribs and that slowed her walking doewn) she eats ou tof her garden. It huge and bakes her own bread( her rolls are too die for)I really think she will make 100
How is your grandmother doing?
How to live over 100? Don’t eat like the masses, don’t act like the masses.
Do the opposite of what the mainstream humans are doing. You are on the right path. But there is no so called SECRET. Everything is out .

Sad but true. I find that's the case with almost everything in life if most people are going left it seems going right gives the best outcome.
....and don’t kill for a sport! He goes hunting!!!!!! Takes others’ lives for fun!!!!! 😰🤮
LITERALLY this.
I recently spent several months as a caregiver for the elderly. I am 56 years old and it became very clear that I need to treat aging as a sport and become an athlete to excel at it!
loved the part about relearning how to handle rage. so profound and helpful.
I could listen to him forever.. So glad I found this interview!
