#269 – Good vs. bad science: how to read and understand scientific studies

I think epidemiology has a place, but I think the pendulum has swung a little too far, and it has been asserted as being more valuable than I think it probably is.” —Peter Attia

#268 ‒ Genetics: testing, therapy, editing, association with disease risk, autism, and more | Wendy Chung, M.D., Ph.D.

There are literally tens of thousands of genetic variants in your genome, and what they mean and whether or not they do anything whatsoever is hard to know.” —Wendy Chung

#267 ‒ The latest in cancer therapeutics, diagnostics, and early detection | Keith Flaherty, M.D.

Early detection is going to allow our same toolbox of drugs to be massively more effective.” —Keith Flaherty

#266 – AMA #50: Genetics: how they impact disease risk, what you can do about it, testing, and more

With how much uncertainty there is in genetic testing, I just think everybody needs to be thoughtful about it before they do it.” —Peter Attia

#265 – Time, productivity, and purpose: insights from Four Thousand Weeks | Oliver Burkeman

Part of living a meaningful life is to be conscious of that fact that we don’t get all the time we would wish to have.” —Oliver Burkeman

#264 ‒ Hip, knee, ankle, and foot: diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of the lower extremities | Adam Cohen, M.D.

Just like we talked about in the shoulder, and the knee, and the hip, any mechanical trauma to the joint puts you at increased risk for arthritis of that joint.” —Adam Cohen

#263 ‒ Concussions and head trauma: symptoms, treatment, and recovery | Micky Collins, Ph.D.

If you bring me a patient with concussion, I can pretty much tell you I can get that patient better. There are highly effective treatments with this injury.” —Micky Collins

#262 – AMA #49: Heart rate recovery, strength training, rucking, kidney function, and brain health

[Heart rate recovery] is one of the metrics that we should care about just as we care about VO2 max and just as we care about resting heart rate.” —Peter Attia

#261 ‒ Training for The Centenarian Decathlon: zone 2, VO2 max, stability, and strength | Peter Attia, M.D.

I would never want anybody to come away from this thinking, ‘I’m too old to do anything about it.’ I think as long as you’re breathing, you have a chance to do something about it.” —Peter Attia

#260 ‒ Men’s Sexual Health: why it matters, what can go wrong, and how to fix it | Mohit Khera, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H.

Clinicians don’t ask about it. Patients are embarrassed to ask about it. And that’s the suffering in silence.” —Mohit Khera
