We want to live longer… and healthier too! Dr Peter Attia, a physician focusing on the applied science of longevity, walks us through lifespan and healthspan, exploring tactics aimed at extending both. Listeners will challenge the conventional approach to primary care and explore tactics to optimize exercise, nutrition, and health, including counseling on different dietary patterns, fasting, exercise, emotional well-being and how to prepare for the Centenarian Olympics!
