Dr. Peter Attia
Dr. Peter Attia is a health speaker, researcher, nutrition and longevity expert, and the founder of Attia Medical, PC, a medical practice focusing on the applied science of longevity and optimal performance. His practice applies nutrition science, lipidology, four-system endocrinology, sleep physiology, stress management, and exercise physiology to minimize the risk of chronic disease onset, while simultaneously improving healthspan.
When not helping others, Attia writes the Eating Academy blog, which charts his own adventures in nutrition and examines scientific evidence surrounding food, weight loss and disease risk.
Attia trained for five years at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in general surgery, where he was the recipient of several prestigious awards, including resident of the year, and the author of a comprehensive review of general surgery. He also spent two years at NIH as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute where his research focused on immune-based therapies for melanoma.
He has since been mentored by some of the most experienced and innovative lipidologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, sleep physiologists, and longevity scientists in the United States and Canada.
Attia was the founder and president of a medical research organization that funded human clinical trials in nutrition and metabolic disease. During his four years as president, they raised and deployed over $40 million.
Attia earned his M.D. from Stanford University and holds a B.Sc. in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics.

How to Live Longer and Better: Optimizing Lifespan and Healthspan
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times
The American healthcare system is broken. At one end of the continuum, the most intimate interactions with patients - the human elements - appear broken. At the other end, there is a structural elephant in the room; the root cause of why the U.S. is the only country spending 18 percent of its GDP on healthcare, despite not getting the value we'd expect.
How do we fix healthcare in this country? Dr. Peter Attia asks - and answers - this provocative and ever-relevant...
