Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia MD PDF

Author: Peter Attia MD

This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:

1. Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.
2. Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.”
3. Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.
4. Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.

Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.
