Outlive

By Peter Attia

Categories: Health, Fitness & Dieting

Physician Peter Attia, writing with Bill Gifford, argues that medicine should aim to extend not only lifespan but healthspan, the years lived in good health. His 2023 book calls for a shift from treating disease to preventing it. Attia focuses on the chronic diseases he calls the Four Horsemen, among them heart disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disease. He argues that exercise is the most potent tool for longevity and adds guidance on nutrition, sleep and emotional health.
