#200 – AMA #33: Hydration—electrolytes, supplements, sports drinks, performance effects, and more
“Anytime I’m not drinking [plain] water, there’s really a purpose that I’m trying to serve in terms of glucose and/or electrolyte replacement and improving hydration status and water absorption.” —Peter Attia
#194 – How fructose drives metabolic disease | Rick Johnson, M.D.
“Fructose turns out to have been meant to be this wonderful system for survival, but in our culture with the amount of sugar in foods that we are eating (that either provide sugar or can be turned into fructose), this pathway has become hazardous.” —Rick Johnson
#180 – AMA #28: All things testosterone and testosterone replacement therapy
“There were countless other studies to look at, but they all basically point in the same direction, which is testosterone replacement therapy improves lean mass, reduces fat mass, improves strength.” —Peter Attia
#173 – AMA #26: Continuous glucose monitors, zone 2 training, and a framework for interventions
“Zone two is a metabolic state. It’s not determined by speed. It’s determined by which energy system you’re requiring and what the equilibrium is.” —Peter Attia
Are continuous glucose monitors a waste of time for people without diabetes?
Some experts suggest CGMs are useless for nondiabetics. I disagree.
#165 – AMA #24: Deep dive into blood glucose: why it matters, important metrics to track, and superior insights from a CGM
“Hyperinsulinemia on an [oral glucose tolerance test], even in the presence of normoglycemia, is the canary in the coal mine.” —Peter Attia
#148 – Richard Miller, M.D., Ph.D.: The gold standard for testing longevity drugs: the Interventions Testing Program
“I don’t really care what causes aging. What I care about is: What is the process that can postpone all the different aspects of aging?” — Rich Miller
#141 – AMA #18: Deep dive: sugar and sugar substitutes
“Is glucose a sugar? Yes. Is fructose a sugar? Yes. Are they the same? Not even close.” —Peter Attia
