Peter Attia and lipidologist Tom Dayspring explain how the brain manages its own cholesterol supply, why APOE genotype drives Alzheimer's risk, and what blood biomarkers can reveal about brain health.
Peter Attia and neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi discuss what midlife women can do to lower Alzheimer's risk, from consistent lifestyle habits and moderate exercise to a serious menopause conversation, while promising...
Peter Attia talks with neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi about why women get Alzheimer's about twice as often as men, how menopause affects the brain, hormone therapy timing, and her $50 million CARE research program.
Peter Attia and Layne Norton debate lard versus seed oils for cooking, covering oxidation, LDL cholesterol, and what the evidence actually says about cardiovascular risk.
Peter Attia argues the anti-seed oil side while Layne Norton makes the case that seed oils are not uniquely harmful, covering old diet trials, LDL genetics, oxidation, refining and evolutionary arguments.
Peter Attia explains why cardiorespiratory fitness is the strongest predictor of lifespan and how to build it through zone 2 and high-intensity training.

Peter Attia talks with evolutionary biologist Carole Hooven about how testosterone shapes male brain development, behavior, and sex differences from fetal life through adulthood.
Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia dig into the NAD pathway, NR and NMN, rapamycin and their own supplement routines. Attia argues that exercise, sleep, nutrition and emotional health matter far more than any supplement.
Peter Attia walks through his personal supplement stack, explaining how he uses blood tests and clinical evidence to guide his choices rather than trends or general advice.
Peter Attia answers listener questions on blood work targets, women's health research gaps, CGM use, and supplements like lithium and berberine.
