Peter is so good at taking the information and explaining it.

Most episodes feature guests hawking their latest book. Peter loves to talk about how much he loves working out. He’s obsessed with it. Some episodes are okay but generally they talk without actually saying anything.

the podcast has some good contents and topics. However, I would appreciate a more concise version of it. Maybe make another version of this podcast to be less than an hour? Summarize the content, and with snippets out of this one, and post a link to this one for people want to have extended version of it? Just an idea. I also agree with other reviewers, I wish the content would be more diverse opinions, Peter seems to carefully select guests that agree with his views, or even sounds and talks like him. One such example is the AMA, his staff interviews him, he sounds like him, talks like him, even jokes like him. I don’t like AMA, and his push for paid subscribers….

I’m really interested in the content of this show, BUT it’s clearly geared towards men. There’s nothing wrong with that - I just wish Dr. Attia were more upfront about it. Even looking at his guest list, there is an occasional woman as guest, but it’s rare. Couple that with the paywall for articles which synthesize publicly funded and available studies, I’ve gone from enthusiastic to ‘meh.’

I enjoy and learn from each episode, but this one connected on a physical, emotional and soul level.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST IF YOU ARE A WOMAN…….. As a medical provider, this podcast is absolutely disgusting. The misogyny is off the charts…. “Men need testosterone, women don’t, women don’t need HRT they are just complaining too much. Men should be treated with testosterone so that they can have a sex drive and feel good, women don’t need testosterone and it’s ridiculous that they wanna feel good and have a sex drive”. I am sooooo angry at these misogynistic men I want to scream. I’m so glad that women no longer have to go to misogynistic men like this who don’t have any empathy to how women feel.

Great guests and information.

I do not trust anyone else for online health information . Love.

Much of his research and education have been funded by government grants. So why restrict the high quality content to paid subscribers? This just reinforces the digital divide. You need to accept ads and open up in-depth longevity research content to price sensitive consumers. He tells you that he does not want ads and then spends several minutes selling his podcast subscription. Take a page from Tom Catena's book on serving the world.

Overall, I enjoy Attila’s podcasts. I was very interested in the shown on lower back pain (Jan29) with Dr. McGill but found the discussion was too technical for me to understand.

Can’t help but notice a plethora of episodes about longevity, I honestly hope I go out young, I have no desire to live forever or elongate my life, can you do an episode about that??

I really appreciate your podcast and the knowledge you and your colleagues share. I drive for hours at work and really enjoy the informative content you provide! Thank you, Michael J from NW Pennsylvania

Dr. Attia speaks eloquently about all topics related to body and mind. Though he is clearly a genius, he defers to his guests with authenticity, soaking up all they have to say. For a scientific mind to be so tuned into psycho-social-emotional issues is a miracle in itself but to be able to teach these topics as well as those rooted in hard science is mind-blowing. BEST PODCAST EVER.

This 11/23/23 podcast episode was a game changer for me! Loved it so much from The perspective of both the social scientist, Arthur Brooks and the MD expert on longevity. A book needs to be written together with these Two Incredible experts!

Molecular bio student. This is easily the highest quality podcast I’ve ever listened to. I often send episodes to friends and family.

Do you listen to Dr H? Just this week artificial sweeteners + signal> insulin = hunger For some with more or less leptin maybe not as dramatic. But he stated the zero cal cola drinker doesn’t loose weight and may gain weight because they are “hungrier’ and eat more. Also talked about ‘food industry ‘ knowing this and using it to drive purchase of their products.

I have be an avid listener to this podcast. I am also a physician specializing in functional medicine. I felt this episode was 110% an advertisement for the company. Peter needs to have Sonnenburgs and Gardner’s who are microbiome/nutrition researchers. They are not trying to sell a product. Their recent papers would totally disagree with the claims of this person made on the behalf of this financially motivated person. Peter please have the above researchers on to discuss the true science behind this topic. Thank you

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. Had a lumpectomy, radiation and estrogen therapy. I am fine, by the grace of God. Now my friend is going through the battle. Unfortunately, she’s having a much tougher time. Five months of chemotherapy then a double mastectomy in February. She wants reconstructive surgery. It just seems like so much to put your body through but she has her mind made up. We are both 68 and widowed. All that to say “thank you”. I was riveted to this episode!! God speed!!

The heavy dosage of "faith" and reference to values placed onto "family" is disconcerting, a real turn off for those of us who are freethinkers and free from religiosity and fairies and holy ghosts and invisible gods

The best of the best. I love this podcast!

I look forward to Monday mornings knowing that I am will be medically entertained. I have no medical background but ability to bring topics to a level that I can understand is a great talent. Your authentic style combined with your intellect is unmatched. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better healthier place.

Wonderful episode. I listened the week I was diagnosed with Breast cancer. Having this in depth and so easy to understand discussion helped me more then you can imagine. Thank you.

This podcast was a favorite when it helped my clients improve their health with lifestyle change. Now it’s all about drugs and procedures.

I’m a new listener and obsessed with the incredible content of this podcast. I will be signing up as a member soon. I just finished Episode 206, the compilation one for those of us newbies and found it to be so valuable! I’m a 49 year old post menopausal woman who loves to lift heavy and run. I recently discovered I have high apo-b and I am one in the healthy my whole life category with high cholesterol driven by high HDL. But I’m in it to be a kickass 90 year old so working through that. Please do more interviews for women in menopause! It’s such an under represented space with quality content! I look forward to learning more!

Relevant, comprehensive discussion about diagnosis, treatment & prognosis of breast cancer. One could definitely be well prepared after listening to navigate medical/surgical options. This podcast provides relevant medical information from experts in their fields. I don’t miss an episode.

Informative, cutting edge. Always delivers 👍🏽

The breast cancer podcast is very thorough and informative. Thank you!!

What about these in your conv with Doc Hal

I’ll start with the fact that I am a fan of Dr. Attia and I find him to be incredibly knowledgeable. I also find him to be a bit too technical and I often find it hard to stay focused on his show. I am not a medical professional and all of the terminology and acronyms become a bit of a foreign language. Eventually I find that I know longer understand the discussion. It’s not that I am uneducated. I hold graduate degrees. They just aren’t in the medical profession. Again, I truly appreciate his dedication and knowledge, however, I think I would appreciate the podcast much more if it was in layman’s terms.

Always informative and intellectually intriguing.

This is a good one. Thank you Peter.

Love the podcast subject matter, but dislike the delivery. More often than not, Peter and his guest talk WAY over our heads and go into WAY too much detail (which also makes the podcasts WAY too long). While the common man/woman need to hear these subjects, most of the time it sounds like he is talking with Med students or Dr’s. So much of the discussion is lost on us “normal” people. How about bringing it down a bit and shorten it up a bit so more of us can understand and be able to do something with the information?

🤜🏿 🤛🏼

Thank you for being one of the reasons for a catalyst for change. I have heard all the terminology pertaining health and wellness before (strength, zone 2, protein, QOL) but never paired against all cause mortality. My wife and I went from being let’s wait until we have time…. to being part of our lifestyle.

Great deep discussion. Learned so much I took notes: Esther: How deep can we go in the vast continent that is the human being? Why this yes? Why this no? Conditions & turn arounds? Was there a coach? A family member who saw something In environment Who connected them to something. A person who was flailing who held onto the catalyst-connection-witness vs.give up, let things fall. Maybe it was someone who gave you your job? Who changed their narrative and therefore their lives vs. or Struggle remained at center.

Dr. Attia is so thorough. He’s my go-to source for reliable information.

Provides great medical information

As a woman in her 40’s who has been struggling with hormonal imbalances since the birth of my last child in 2015, I found this podcast to be extremely insightful and helpful in my perimenopause journey. HSDD, mood swings and fatigue have made my mid 40’s challenging, and many of my girlfriends in their 40’s struggle with similar sx. It seems there is an “expert” at a med-spa on every corner these days pushing HRT for struggling mid-aged women who are willing to pay cash to feel like themselves again, however I feel these pts are not being managed well. My OBGYN turned HRT physician was the one who encouraged me to start T pellets several years back and recently I was recommended Vyleesi for my sx. As a nurse I want to be an informed consumer and as an athlete, my goal is to optimize my health, including my hormonal health and the information shared on the podcast was very much appreciated and extremely helpful for my decision making. While we don’t have the evidence to support the benefits of HRT such as T therapy for women, I don’t have 20, or even 10 years to wait around for the data. Hearing insights from experts speaking to the benefits of HRT in women is very encouraging, please keep this type of content coming! I would *love* to hear Peter interview Dr Sarah Gottfried on the topic of women’s hormone health at some point as she is an expert in this field and I feel her journey in medicine parallels Peter’s to a certain degree. Cheers and thanks again for this amazing podcast, I’ve shared it with my OBGYN and many others.

Generally an informative discussion across multiple health domains. Peter’s focus on proportional health span relative to longevity is an intelligent model for the practice of medicine; he is in the vanguard of enlightened medical advocacy… However, the conversation with Andy Galpin is a markedly sub-optimal experience; Galpin enunciates as though he’s gargling with marbles, and he further exacerbates his dialogue by rapidity of speech; apparently no one has ever informed Galpin, “slow down, speak clearly, especially if you desire to actually be informative, as opposed to displaying the breadth of your technical knowledge…”

Got excited for a podcast topic only for it to be a teaser to the paid platform. You should disclose this better because it’s frustrating for a new listener.

If you’re looking for an expert to distill the best ideas of science and medicine into easily understandable format…this is not it. If on the other hand, you are looking for someone to walk you through in extreme detail everything they’ve learned and have nothing but time on your hands, this will be perfect for you. It’s like going to graduate school (but much cheaper!) I bought his book Outlive, thinking it might be a better distillation of his vast wealth of knowledge into practical steps (think David agis’s A Short Guide to a long life) but realized, this book is for the person who wants to essentially go into this as a profession. Or as a most serious hobby. I officially unsubscribed when listening to a recent episode and heard them break down the pros and cons of “rucking” and didn’t once explain what that word means. Lol. Again, if you’re like “I love rucking! And I wanna hear someone talk about it in detail and for the advanced Rucker” (whatever that is), you may have found your tribe! If, however, you’re like me and have a busy life in a different profession and you’re just trying to gain a better understanding of how to live healthier in practical ways, this is going to be a way deeper dive than you need. (*There is really such a lane open for someone that can truly make this information accessible, concise and actionable! Looking at you, Huberman!)

I love Dr Attia’s book Outlive and the podcast is full of useful info. As a lay person, I find the abundance of medical acronyms in the podcast confusing. Maybe it is meant for medical professionals?

I appreciate the information but sometimes feel he has gone off on a tangent and still waiting to hear how I can implement or use the information.

Peter’s focus on maintaining great health while extending lifespan sounds like an attractive Unfortunately, he doesn’t really seem to know what he is talking about much on the time. I noticed this when he changed his tune on fasting. He used to pedal the benefits of fasting all the time. This might have been his claim to fame. He stopped recording podcasts on fasting in about 2020 and in early 2023 suddenly he updated his audience on a new less frequent protocol that works better for him. That’s fine and all, but nearly 3 years of silence on the topic seems pretty irresponsible. What sealed the nail on the coffin for me is a recent video where pokes fun of the catholic religion. There’s plenty other places I can consume bigoted propaganda. I dont need it from someone Im paying money to. As the saying goes, it takes respect to earn respect.

I’m always excited to listen to the next episode, I just want to be the healthiest/longest living version of me and Dr. Attias podcast is a nice balance of in depth science and practical health advice. (Ok… maybe a LITTLE heavy on the science..) he’s shaped my understanding of life for the better. (Medicine 3.0!!)

I tried again after the recent menopause show but then today with the DUTch test. It’s a scam and a waste of money. Bye.

Have been a long time listener and usually very pleased with the detailed stimulating conversations. But recently I was very disappointed with the disinformation, or perhaps just narrow-sighted and one-sided information, about protein in an episode with Don Layman. So disappointed it prompted me to write this review, my first ever. Equating higher protein bioavailability (i.e. animal protein) with better health is irresponsible and I expect better of Peter Attia after listening to him for a while. Americans as a population are deficient in fiber, not protein. I understand we live in a protein-obsessed modern society but I expected Peter to see the forest here rather than getting lost in the trees. Sure if you zoom in on the trees and hear the phrase increased bioavailability, it sounds great. But zoom out to the forest, and don’t think the scientific literature backs up increased protein bioavailability increasing lifespan, health span, QoL, etc. Encouraging his listeners to consume more bioavailable proteins (aka meat) to improve health is disappointing to say the least. However, maybe takeaway message/summary is too narrowly-focused and incorrect. I hope so.

Peter has give me the tools to help me maximize my daily routines. I now monitor my sleep patterns, my glucose levels and my exercise routines. There is science behind everything I do and he has given me the tools to make the necessary changes.

Peter has the most interesting topics on his show. Some of the material is very technical but there are summaries and show notes that can help with that. I’ve learned a lot from him and his guests. In some cases I’ve learned more from him than from my own Dr. I think his vision of how medicine should be practiced in the future should be mandatory learning in medical schools. He is brilliant. Thank you Peter!

Thank you for all the work that went into this great book!! I am not a big fan of audio but I played the book on a recent road trip and loved it. You did a great job with recording. It was as if I had a long podcast! Excellent. So much info I had to buy the hard copy to now go back and review more detail after taking notes on audio.
