How is it possible a healthy diet doesn\u2019t increase your lifespan? Is it all for nothing? Today we\u2019re diving into longevity myths we\u2019ve believed for too long.\nPeter Attia, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the popular fasting app, you probably have downloaded right now, Zero, and the bestselling author, podcast host, and longevity health expert, is breaking the mold and exposing why we\u2019ve been thinking about lifespan and healthspan all wrong.\nHis latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like.\xa0\nIn part 1 of this 2 part episode, Peter raises really interesting points on how the size of a person doesn\u2019t accurately point toward metabolic health. One-third of the people that meet the criteria for obesity are actually metabolically healthy and have the same life expectancy of a person with a \u201chealthier\u201d BMI.\nWe\u2019re exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and Peter, being the longevity health expert he is, is highlighting the differences between lifespan and healthspan that is critical in how we achieve success for each of these outcomes.\nStay tuned for part 2 of this episode where Peter starts breaking apart the calorie debate and why it doesn\u2019t hold.\nCheck out Peter Attia\u2019s latest book, Outlive, The Science and Art of Longevity: https://www.amazon.com/Outlive-Longevity-Peter-Attia-MD/dp/0593236599\n\nFollow Peter Attia:\xa0\nWebsite: https://peterattiamd.com/\xa0\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterAttiaMD\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/peterattiamd\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterattiamd/\xa0\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterattiamd/\xa0\nPodcast: https://peterattiamd.com/podcast/\n\nSPONSORS:\nThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
