Summary
Editor's Note (March 2026): This episode contains a brief reference to Peter Attia. Since this episode was published, documents released by the Department of Justice have revealed Peter Attia's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We find these revelations deeply troubling and do not condone any association with Epstein or his activities. Please know that we have removed our interviews with Peter Attia from our library.
---------
Starting next week, we're launching a six part series where we're going to talk to a vast array of experts on longevity, exercise, and diet — we're calling it Get Fit Sanely.
To kick the series off, I wanted to have our senior producer DJ Cashmere on, who's the architect behind this project. You're gonna hear him get really personal about how these issues have affected his own psychology, and you'll hear a very thoughtful person talk about what he's taken away from the months of research he's done on these subjects. And, we'll give you a taste of what it's like here behind the scenes at Ten Percent Happier.
