Peter Attia· Host0:00

(80s style music) Hey, everyone. Welcome to a sneak peek Ask Me Anything, or AMA, episode of the Drive podcast. I'm your host, Peter Attia. At the end of this short episode, I'll explain how you can access the AMA episodes in full along with a ton of other membership benefits we've created, or you can learn more now by going to peterattiamd.com/subscribe. So without further delay, here's today's sneak peek of the Ask Me Anything episode. Welcome to Ask Me Anything AMA episode 78. In today's AMA, we take on a wide-ranging mix of some of the most common listener questions from lifespan interventions and cardiovascular risk to fasting, blood pressure management, hormone replacement therapy, diagnostic screening, and more. This conversation is less about the deep research dives that we typically do and more about how I think through each of these topics in practice, personally, clinically, and even somewhat philosophically. So in this episode, we discuss the single most important intervention for extending lifespan and healthspan, how to motivate midlife patients to prioritize training using the centenarian decathlon framework, the interplay between lifespan and healthspan and why separating them is a false dichotomy, how to manage high ApoB and cholesterol even with perfect metabolic health
