#313 – AMA #62: Protein’s impact on appetite and weight management, and uric acid’s link to disease and how to manage levels
“The body responds in pretty significant ways to alterations in protein availability.” —Peter Attia
#311 ‒ Longevity 101: a foundational guide to Peter’s frameworks for longevity, and understanding CVD, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and more
“I would say three-quarters of the benefits you can get towards a longer life, come solely from pursuing better health.” —Peter Attia
#310 – The relationship between testosterone and prostate cancer, testosterone replacement therapy, and tools for predicting cancer aggressiveness and guiding therapy | Ted Schaeffer, M.D., Ph.D.
“There’s no evidence that says exogenous T replacement causes acceleration or propagation of someone’s prostate cancer.” —Ted Schaeffer
#308 – AMA #61: Sun exposure, sunscreen, and skin health: relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer, vitamin D production, and photoaging, how to choose a sunscreen, and more
“This is the beginning of a type of technology that I hope, over the coming decade, can make screening, especially for melanoma, to be a more effective tool.” —Peter Attia
Do high protein diets increase cancer risk?
Is there any merit to the idea that consuming more protein increases one’s risk of developing or dying from cancer?
#304 – NEW: Introducing quarterly podcast summaries – Peter shares his biggest takeaways on muscle protein synthesis, VO2 max, toe strength, gut health, and more
“Getting a high VO2 max and being very strong are very hard to do. They take a long time. Everybody can do them, but they can’t be done quickly and easily, so therefore, they are the tip of the spear.” —Peter Attia
Can ovarian cancer be detected by genetic analysis of cervical cancer screening samples?
A proof-of-concept method for adding ovarian cancer screening to existing protocols
#300 – Special episode: Peter on exercise, fasting, nutrition, stem cells, geroprotective drugs, and more — promising interventions or just noise?
“The probability that having a high VO2 max, high muscle mass, and high muscle strength are going to increase the length of your life and improve the quality of your life. . .is so high that to act in disregard of that is irresponsible.” —Peter Attia
#290 ‒ Liquid biopsies for early cancer detection, the role of epigenetics in aging, and the future of aging research | Alex Aravanis, M.D., Ph.D.
“Age is your single biggest risk factor for cancer. The population over 50 is about a 10x increased risk relative to the population under 50.” —Alex Aravanis
