When Peter Attia was in high school, he wanted to be a professional boxer and studied “the sweet science of bruising” with an obsessive focus. These days he is less of a bruiser, but the obsessive study of science remains. Trained as a surgeon, Dr. Peter Attia is now one of the world’s foremost experts on longevity and the author of Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, a manual for how to live a longer, better life.
Dr. Attia earned his medical degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine and spent five years at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in general surgery. Today, he is the founder of Early Medical, a medical practice that applies the principles of Medicine 3.0 to help patients lengthen their lifespan and simultaneously improve their healthspan.
