0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to the Peter Atia Drive. I'm your host, Peter Atia.
0:10.0	The drive is a result of my hunger for optimizing performance, health, longevity, critical thinking,
0:15.7	along with a few other obsessions along the way. I've spent the last several years working
0:19.6	with some of the most successful top performing individuals in the world, and this podcast
0:23.8	is my attempt to synthesize what I've learned along the way to help you live a higher quality
0:28.3	more fulfilling life. If you enjoy this podcast, you can find more information on today's
0:32.4	episode and other topics at peteratiamd.com.

1:25.3	and she asks me about things that excite me the most in longevity. We talk about mTOR and
1:29.9	RAPA MISIN, how to measure results when you're doing a lot of interventions, blood tests, and supplements,
1:36.6	along with a few other things. As a reminder, AMAs are for subscribers only. If you're not a
1:41.9	subscriber, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA here. If you are a subscriber and hearing
1:46.8	this, it means you have yet to download our members only podcast feed. With this members only
1:52.2	feed, you'll be able to subscribe to the drive in your podcast player to get every episode of the
1:56.8	drive without the subscriber call out, plus full episodes of the AMA podcast directly, along with
