Scientifically Proven Ways to Build Muscle & Boost Longevity - Dr Peter Attia

In this 15 April 2024 video from Modern Wisdom, host Chris Williamson sits down with Dr Peter Attia, a physician, longevity expert, podcaster and an author.

There is essentially an unlimited amount of health advice available on the internet. Working out what is legit science and what is broscience is difficult, but thankfully decades of experience from working with patients and personal experimentation means Peter can help cut through the noise about what is most effective.

Expect to learn why a simple hospital visit can cost $6000 in America, how to improve your cognition, the best supplements everyone should be taking, whether there is any safe dose of melatonin to take, why so many young men are now on TRT, how worried we should be about processed foods, suncream, alcohol and all of your other favourite vices, how we can better deal with mental decline as we age, how to improve your self-talk and more.
