Peter Attia on mitigating and reversing insulin resistance with nutrition
This clip is from “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode #17, originally released on November 9, 2020. If you’re a member, you…
#320 – AMA 64: New insights on GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) – efficacy, benefits, risks, and considerations in the rapidly evolving weight-loss drug landscape
“If you’re taking these drugs, really, really pay attention to your protein consumption and your resistance training. . .that’s obviously going to be an important part of being on the right side of that body composition curve.” — Peter Attia
Back on the merry-go-round of bad science regarding meat consumption
A new observational study has reported positive associations between meat intake and type 2 diabetes risk, but let’s repeat: correlation is not causation.
#314 ‒ Rethinking nutrition science: the evolving landscape of obesity treatment, GLP-1 agonists, protein, and the need for higher research standards | David Allison, Ph.D.
“I think we really need a radically different public health paradigm.” —David Allison
#306 – AMA #60: preventing cognitive decline, nutrition myths, lowering blood glucose, apoB, and blood pressure, and more
“Metabolic health, first and foremost, is the goal of nutrition.” —Peter Attia
“DNA diets” are still a long way off from offering an easier route to weight loss
A recent study reports that leveraging genetics to inform diet choice is ineffective in promoting weight loss beyond the effects of calorie restriction alone
Is low-to-moderate alcohol consumption beneficial for longevity?
There is a common belief that low-to-moderate consumption of alcohol has unique health benefits. What does the evidence show?
#283 ‒ Gut health & the microbiome: improving and maintaining the microbiome, probiotics, prebiotics, innovative treatments, and more | Colleen Cutcliffe, Ph.D.
“You start out almost like a blank slate, you get a lot more diverse, and then as we age, you start to lose that diversity and therefore some key functions in the microbiome.” —Colleen Cutcliffe
#279 – AMA #53: Metabolic health & pharmacologic interventions: SGLT-2 inhibitors, metformin, GLP-1 agonists, and the impact of statins
“It is worth noting, and this is a very important question, that it does not appear that the effect of statins on insulin resistance is a function of lipids being lowered.” —Peter Attia
Does carbohydrate load impact the balance between fat storage and oxidation?
A study investigated the effects of different dietary levels of carbohydrates on mitochondrial respiration, but mechanistic conclusions are premature.
#252 ‒ Latest insights on Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, exercise, nutrition, and fasting | Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
“My perspective has shifted as any scientist that’s following data should… When new data comes out, you have to reassess things.” —Rhonda Patrick
