Longevity 101: a foundational guide to Peter's frameworks for longevity, and understanding CVD, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and more (re-broadcast)

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Drive podcast. I'm your host, Peter Attia.

For today's episode, we're gonna do something a little bit different. This is an episode that kinda reads more like an AMA where I'll be answering a set of questions, but it's gonna be available to everyone, not just to our subscribers. Typically, of course, our episodes are really kind of deep dive conversations. That's what we're really known for.

So today's conversation is really intended to serve as a starting point. It's also a great thing that you can have if you have a friend who you're trying to introduce to these topics and you wanna get them kind of up to speed. This is a great sort of longevity one zero one as it were. We kinda lay the foundation for how I think about this, the structure that I apply to longevity, explain the various concepts of lifespan, health span, the four horsemen of death, marginal decade. We talk a little bit about the tactics. We talk about these five things of exercise, nutrition, sleep, drugs, and supplements, emotional health. And since this is obviously based on the scope, a rather superficial treatment of these concepts, the show notes are going to be quite detailed and will actually point you in the deeper direction of anything that is covered. So again, if you're feeling overwhelmed about some of our content, we really hope that this is an episode that's gonna help give some of the foundational information that allows you to then appreciate some of the deeper dives that we are more commonly doing. So without further delay, I hope you enjoy this special episode of The Drive. Peter, welcome to a special episode. How you doing? Great. Awesome. Well, for today's episode, we're gonna do something a little different. One thing we know and we can hear from people is if you look at …
