In this episode we digest Peter Attia's book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, a guide that proposes a new paradigm shift in medicine, dubbed Medicine 3.0, to address the limitations of conventional medical practices (Medicine 2.0). Attia argues that instead of focusing solely on treating diseases, we should prioritize preventing them in the first place by proactively managing healthspan, emphasizing longevity and delaying the onset of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegenerative diseases. The book explores the interplay between genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors, offering concrete strategies for improving healthspan through diet, exercise, sleep, and emotional well-being. Attia shares personal experiences, research insights, and actionable tactics to help readers achieve a healthier, longer life.
