@andanssas I thought so too! But I bought more expensive bike (gravel bike so kind of mix of road bike and mountain bike) and I can tell you, the difference with my previous cheap mountain bike is huuuge. It's easier to go for longer, faster rides, great gears give you more control. And it's not boring at all! Because of the distance range you get with it, you can choose completely different route everytime. Or go for a group ride. Or do some intervals, or zone 2 steady cardio. And when endorphins kicks in it's just a pure pleasure. So I fully recommend anyone who thinks it makes no sense to spend more money on a bike to give It a try.

I've trained running speed for 58 years, strength for 53 years, flexibility & mobility for 41 years. It's been very rewarding all along, and the current benefits are immense. I caution against thinking of exercise as "going to the gym." If that's what gives you excited anticipation and enjoyment, great. I lift in gyms sometimes and often at home. But I really enjoy getting out among our local islands in un-motorized boats, walking and running the twisty up and down trails on our hills, and playing basketball. The best exercise is the one you don't skip because you enjoy it so much!

Right on the money Attila. Starting getting a little chubby in my 40’s first MI at 53 and 2nd at 54. Changed to a protein heavy minimal carb diet, began walking 1 hour each day (7 days a week), 17 minutes of HIIT 3 times per week and 20 minutes of weight lifting Monday-Friday. Made a massive difference. I some of Peter’s recommendations on various exercises like bar hangs, farmers carry and wall squats so I can build up those skills and strengths for longevity. 63 YO now and sprinting fast!

Exactly. I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap. You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good.

Dr Peter’s some really key points that I have not heard anywhere else: - old age die due to eccentric activities - even though metabolic disease do not cause death they amplify the other death causes - our current health care focuses more on cure than prevention There are many more such points in this video. Great one

Following Dr. Peter Attia's exercise suggestions greatly improved my life in three big ways: it made the phlegm in my throat disappear, it cleared up my mouth ulcers, and it restored my confidence in the bedroom. I am amazed by his intelligent ideas and wonder how he comes up with them.

My new favourite pastime, listening to these extremely informative pod casts, they spur me on to live a healthier lifestyle. Thank you for making them easy to understand.

"We have a lot of control over what will happen to us" Brilliantly stated and quite powerful for those who are already in that quadrant of the matrix, ready to do what it takes to change their outcome. But important to state that not everyone is in that part of the curve and that doesn't make them less competent or unwilling. They too need support but their care is often more complex and requires a lot more handholding and support.

Health span is SO important! My mother is 97.5 years old and has been in bed for the last 4 years with her mind mostly intact. It has really frustrated her that she can’t get up and walk much (she was able to walk with a walker less than 10 feet to the bathroom until about a year ago) and her failing eyesight prevented reading, decreased hearing decreased her ability to communicate well and engage in conversations with more than one or two people, and not being able to get around in even a wheelchair prevented her from going to her beloved church or visit with friends that can’t get to her. She has one dear, dear friend alive, and they can’t get to each other. In the last two weeks, she has lost her memories and it has frightened her. She has repeatedly stated she wished she’d died when she was 87. She has also asked why she is still alive, and said she doesn’t know how to die, and God hasn’t told her how to.

At the age of 70 I have just completed the Zoe blood sugar tests which I can thoroughly recommend. All of the things you mentioned are very important, but one thing that I have not heard mentioned is the quality of the water we drink. I have been very worried about the state of our water from the taps here in the UK. The amount of drugs that are slipping into the system, cocaine as well as hormone let alone the additives. The fact that in London it has passed through many human alimentary systems before it is consumed. We now drink pure spring water from a hillside where a pipe has been introduced deep into the strata and there is no possibility of contamination. I had the water analysed and was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent result but was horrified to see the levels of various chemicals and Ecoli that are allowed in tap water. Some examples are Copper you are allowed 2000 parts/litre my water has less than 0.2,, lead 10 parts I have less than 0.1, E Coli allowed less than 0.1, I have 0. Since our bodies are made up of so much water, I think more emphasis should be placed on it. The other aspect of course is security from acts of terrorism

@elizabethlemoine8857

Thank you for bringing that up. I too wonder about water quality: not just the drugs and hormones entering from other systems, but the chemicals added to the water to make it 'safe' and the whole matrix: how all these things combine with the natural mineral components of water. I don't have access to uncontaminated spring water, but find some of my digestive problems ease when I visit family in another city, with different water source and treatment systems. Without any change in diet, the effect is so predictable and positive, my guess is that it has to be 'something in the water' as they say. Another locus for more research in the future, I hope.

One particular thing i I noted is feeling like pins and needles only milder in my left shoulder. Also about 3 months in my hand feet started changing, felt like additional mass only very soft and plump, probably water retention. Lost more than 10% body weight in 2 years, was 78 before and now just 59. Doctors seemed to ignore my symptoms when i started. I kept doing thi medication on my own but my wife thought i wa crazy so i stopped taking any after 3 years . Now two years after im getting serious symptoms of reduced blood flow. Cold extremities, arms get really tired fast. Nasal flaring, chest pains, feeling of heart sinking.

A good and very interesting discussion. On the subject of addressing problems long before the iceberg looms (absolutely spot-on, IMHO and something I've tried to live by), I was hoping Jonathan would ask if the 'furring' of arteries (detected in autopsies even of 20-year-olds) could be reversed at the age of 45 with the advised attentions to improving diet, exercise, sleep and stress management - or is further damage just slowed? Is damage building slowly undetected in early life ever partly or wholly reversible while still in relatively good health?

Doctors in Canada definitey treat the problems without much thought over the bigger picture. They might treat a dozen symptoms and not put them together to determine why this is all happening. I attribute this to their busy schedules and focus on profit centres over patient care. It is rare for a doctor to even do a proper physical anymore or even examine the symptom before making a referral to a specialist, so one could end up going from one specialist to another, each one saying - "not my field". It's frustrating.

Great interview

Although he is a vegetarian for many decades, but does not exercise, in the least, had a heart attack a few years ago. Oh, he has been a complete vegetarian all the years. You need to adopt an exercise plan, maintain it and with a healthy diet. It’s not that hard really, once you get into a routine you will find it’s something you maintain because without it, you actually miss it. It is enjoyable for sure. People now days simply eat too much combine with no exercise plan. Occasionally if I am in a restaurant, it’s common to see people eat super size meals, etc. Not good.

Not at all… calorie consumption plays a big part, and energy expenditure

I tried a lot meditation and it helps me emotionaly but physical pain cant just be manipulated, when I started walking it helps a lot

Not sure if it exactly qualifies as one horseman of the Apocalypse, but I do think Dr Attia is missing one of the biggest threats to health span: osteoarthritis. Seems like that’s the biggest source of aches and pains in the older people around me, limiting them tremendously and taking the fun out of life.

I think that diet changes can reverse much osteoarthritis.

Maximize fitness when we are young in order to be able to continue to enjoy life as we age. No joke, it is so very important to be as fit as we can as we get older because we will decline no matter what as we get closer to the end.

I like this vid. Good insight and good show.

I eat every other day...& fast (24hrs) the others. It gives my body a "rest" from the complex digestive process & I awake looking "refreshed & regenerated" (this is a long-story made short).

So good ❤

We will always need health care with Doctors that know how to best try and fix what is broken. We need a separate type of expert in helping people help themselves. A more difficult problem in some ways. Unfortunately many in our society have little interest in assuming more responsibility for their actions, including doing what’s best for their health.

exactly!! Healthy food needs to be afordable for Everybody!

I've heard, tattoo ink is ending up in lymph nodes

Outlive is a great book!

It was very interesting and knowledgeable.

The NHS in England uses 72metrics to define 'success' and 65% of NHS spending goes on hospital medicine. What would happen if we just used one metric - healthspan (even using the medical definition) to measure the success of the NHS. Great video needs to be viewed by all our politicians.

Thank you for this exceltional podcast. I want to know what are those healthy foods that actually cause a Spike in our Glucose ? I am over 75, had the severe early COVID with long term symptoms / sequelae . Now able to return to walking routine nott as far as I did prior to event.

Carbohydrates. The higher the total carbs the faster and the more refined and processed… the faster. There are no Essential carbohydrates, so you could really be healthy with none or very little, eventually. Flour, starches, all sugars, juice, pop, are spikers of blood sugar. Test your Vitamin D level as well. 25(OH)D Most are deficient, very deficient. Avoid statins, they spike blood sugar. Watch out for other drugs that spike blood sugar, like corticosteroids. Avoid alcohol, smoking, recreational drugs, poor sleep, being sedentary. Even standing up during commercials while watching TV, or strolling 20-30 minutes after meals helps. Watch for sugars in drinks. Fluid sugars are fast sugars, spiking blood sugar. Avoid fructose, HFCS. Avoid processed seed oils. Get light and sun in the morning. Drink water when you are thirsty, don’t chug. Avoid all processed foods, and drinks. Always read ALL the side effects if taking any medication. Social interaction with good people helps with feeling better.
