📚 2023's Insightful Read: Peter Attia's 'OUTLIVE' - A Guide to Healthspan vs. Lifespan Throughout 2023, I noticed a recurring mention in many year-end book lists: Peter Attia's 'OUTLIVE' - a profound exploration of the Science & Art of Longevity. This book brilliantly captures the evolving concept of Healthspan vs. Lifespan, a topic gaining traction among governments and thought leaders alike. Even Jeff Bezos, in a recent 2-hour interview with Lex Friedman, highlighted it as a central endeavour in his post-Amazon life. 🔑 Key Takeaways for the Professional Community: 1. Shift from Sick Care to Health Care: The current medical system’s focus. 2. Proactive Health Partnerships: The importance of finding doctors who engage with healthy individuals. 3. Tackling the Four Horsemen of Disease: Why it's crucial to confront major diseases proactively. 4. Advanced Diagnostics: Emphasizing the need for comprehensive testing, like bloodwork, DEXA, and VO2Max. 5. Heart Health Priority: The significance of CT calcium scoring for cardiac wellness. 6. Lifestyle Interventions: Balancing life aspects, including social habits like alcohol consumption. 💡 From Theory to Practice: At Mito Health, we resonate deeply with Attia's framework.

I have done Metabolic Efficiency/Lactate Threshold Tests though I am not a serious runner. To see whether I am burning what % carbo vs fat when running. And at what bpm, Zone 2 cardio crosses over to Zone 3.
#1 is sooo important (i might be biased :) tho)
I have been following Attia for years, but 2023 was the year that he went truly mainstream! Glad that his work is really catching on, and that Mito is distilling the learnings and insights for the layman!
haha I just borrowed the book from library
Great read for anyone in our field!
Yes, I encourage my patients and colleagues to read this too!
Another good read is David Sinclair's Lifespan. Both books are full of life-expanding insights. Glad to see mito health take off!
Fantastic book!
