Peter Attia

Physician · Author, Outlive · Host, The Drive Podcast

Attia frames longevity medicine as 'Medicine 3.0' — proactive, personalised, and focused on the four horsemen of chronic disease (cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, metabolic dysfunction). His protocol is anchored in exercise as the single most powerful longevity lever, with supplements playing a supporting role.

Tier I = multiple RCTs in humans · Tier II = human trials, early stage · Tier III = mechanism / animal studies only

Lifestyle Pillars

  • 1Zone 2 cardio 3–4 hours per week (the cornerstone of his protocol)
  • 2Strength training 3× per week with emphasis on muscle mass preservation
  • 3VO₂max training — one high-intensity session per week
  • 4Protein-forward diet: 1 g per pound of body weight, prioritising leucine-rich sources
  • 5Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to track metabolic health
  • 6Sleep tracking with Oura Ring; targets 8 hours with high REM and deep sleep
  • 7Sauna 3–4× per week (15–20 min at 80–90°C)
  • 8Annual DEXA scan, coronary artery calcium score, ApoB, Lp(a) testing

Important Caveats

Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant approved for organ transplant rejection; its longevity use is off-label and contested. Attia is explicit that his protocol is personalised and not a template. ApoB and Lp(a) testing is essential before starting aggressive lipid management.
