What is the book Outlive about?
Outlive Book About How to Think About Long Term Health
Don't you want to live longer? Better? In the Longevity how to manual Dr. Peter Attia uses the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques to optimize movement and sleep, and tools to promote emotional and mental health.
Despite conventional medicine's tremendous success, not much progress has been made in combating the diseases of aging that kill most people (heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes). Many times, treatment comes too late to help, extending life at the expense of health or quality of life. Atiyah believes we need to replace this outdated framework with personalized, proactive strategies to achieve longevity, and we act now rather than waiting.
This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging
The most effective pro-longevity "drug" is exercise, and how to start preparing for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
Why diets should be abandoned in favor of nutritional biochemistry, which can be customized through technology and data
Why focusing only on one's bodily well-being and ignoring one's mental wellbeing may be the greatest curse of all
Our future is not predetermined; aging and longevity are much more changeable than we realize. You may chart a different course for your life with the right road map, one that allows you to outlive your genes and make each decade better than the one before
Excerpt from Outlive Book
Risk is not something to be avoided at all costs; rather, it’s something we need to understand, analyze, and work with.
