Summary
You’ve probably read stories on how some centenarians owe their triple digit lifespan to their drink-a-day habit, but these people are outliers and this advice is really not practical for living longer.
But if that’s the case, what is?
Should you just chalk it up to good genes or is this something that we can control?
As you’ll learn in this podcast episode with Dr. Peter Attia, there are plenty of strategies that are well within your control when it comes to improving your lifespan and your quality of life.
We’ll dive into these specifically and we’ll explore the connection blood glucose has on the big three (heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer) as well as the specific blood markers you can track to see how you’re doing here.
We’ll also discuss personal tracking devices such as the Oura ring and Dexcom G6 continuous blood glucose monitoring to see how these can help.
Tune in to the episode now to find out how you can add more quality years to your life.

| 0:00.0 | Thank you for listening to the Keto Answers podcast. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm your host Dr. Anthony Guestan and joining me this week is Dr. Pierre Atea. |
| 0:12.4 | Atea is probably one of the smartest people that I'm aware in existence, especially in |

| 0:29.7 | half of the episode. |
| 0:30.7 | But if you're a nerd like us, then I think you're going to enjoy the first half. |
| 0:35.0 | We talk about everything from Peter's approach to longevity, how he treats patients as |
| 0:40.4 | clinic, what blood markers he tracks, which ones he thinks need to exist that don't |
| 0:45.6 | exist, his experimentation with the warring and both of our results will continue as a |
| 0:50.5 | blood glucose monitor and way more. |
| 0:52.9 | So again, first little bit is intense, then the second half lightens up a little bit, |
| 0:57.8 | but I love my conversation with Dr. Pierre Atea and I think you will too. |
| 1:03.2 | But before we get started, I have a huge announcement. |
| 1:05.4 | This month of November, we have an exciting announcement. |
| 1:09.4 | Perfect, keto bars have launched. |
| 1:12.0 | That's right, it took me 18 months and 18 iterations to get this thing right. |
| 1:15.8 | So I made a bar that tasted better than any bar, that is a consistency better than any |
| 1:19.2 | other bar and more importantly, does not change your blood sugar. |
