Welcome to the Making Sense Podcast. This is Sam Harris.

To damn speaking, to my friend Peter Atia, Peter is a doctor and the founder of Early Medical.

He received his medical degree from Stanford University, and then he trained at Johns Hopkins

in general surgery. He also trained at the NIH as a surgical oncology fellow and at the National

Cancer Institute. And he's also the host of his own podcast, The Drive. But today we focus on

his new best-selling book, The Title is Outlive, The Science and Art of Longevity.

And that really is our focus. We talk about health span as opposed to mere lifespan.

The lessons that can be learned from centenarians and super centenarians.

Diet and nutrition, including topics like sugar and macronutrients, alcohol,

fasting, and time-restricted eating, exercise, heart disease, blood pressure,

cholesterol, cancer, brain health, metabolic disorders, proactive medical testing,

medication side effects, esoteric drugs like rapamycin, emotional health,

and other topics. The full conversation runs three hours. So it is a fairly comprehensive look at

most of the variables we might control to maximize the chances of living in a long and healthy life.

And I bring you Peter Atia.
