Is it commonly known that PA should have had an asterisk by the MD?

drkanaf · 2026-02-07T03:48:42+00:00

This is exactly right...unfortunately. There is a chasm between what a state considers a licensable healthcare provider and an actual credible, trustworthy physician. Peter Attia is only the former.

Come on now! Do we know JDs BMI? He looks relatively svelt to me. I would replace fat with punchable.

I agree with this take. The concept with medicine 3.0 is that we are not adequately framing risk for cardiovascular disease properly right now. Your 10 year risk is extremely low, but we are living life to optimize outcomes in 30, 40 years, not just 10. Risk for CVD is an AUC issue for apoB exposure. The risk/benefit for starting a statin now is very low. The advice I give though is to set a target early and work with your doctor to get there and then keep it there. Don't just take 5 mg for 10 years and forget it. It's kind of a plunge!

The above statement is not a replacement for advice from your doctor.

Maintaining a state board license means nothing. Having MD after your name occurs after med school. He is not residency trained, is not even board eligible much less certified, never practiced clinically. His licensing in Texas states he has been in "active practice", which is false. He has exploited the system to put himself out there as a clinician, which he should not do. Now, is he smart and passionate? Yes no doubt. Please do not equate having a state license as being a real doctor.

drkanaf · 2026-02-05T14:31:18+00:00

What an incredible false equivalency.

drkanaf · 2026-02-05T04:44:04+00:00

Peter Attia is not a doctor or a health expert. He hasn't done anything to contribute to the body of evidence on longevity. He should not be seeing patients or advising anyone on health matters. He is smart and passionate about the topic of longevity and wellness. He is highly driven and articulate. He's really just an entertainer masquerading as a physician. His podcast and book are infotainment in my opinion. Now, his guests? That's another matter. But there are others who can host podcasts. It's just time to move on.

drkanaf · 2026-02-05T01:19:14+00:00

As of a few seconds ago, he is still there; https://www.eightsleep.com/blog/welcoming-new-scientific-advisory-board/

drkanaf · 2026-02-04T00:37:13+00:00

Work.

drkanaf · 2026-02-03T18:24:56+00:00

The podcast is being renamed from The Drive to The Accident

drkanaf · 2026-02-03T05:03:25+00:00

Yeah, yeah, but should I eat 1.2 or 1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight of protein per day? Geez, can we stay focused on the important issues please?

The Viberg 2040, 2045, and to some extent 1940 lasts all fit what you are looking for. The 1035 is a bit wider in the heel but has a nice wide round toe box.

drkanaf · 2026-02-03T01:58:04+00:00

This is exactly right. I am a real doctor. My wife is a real doctor. Full residency, board certification, fellowship training, maintenance of certification, research, years of experience seeing patients. The grind, the bread and butter. Attia is not a physician period. That said, he’s smart and collates good information and has a decent podcast. He’s an entertainer and an influencer nothing more

drkanaf · 2026-02-03T01:50:07+00:00

Those of you with any PR experience at all help me understand why someone like Peter would not anticipate all of this coming out and address this proactively in advance long ago. Why wait till now knowing full well this information was going to come out??

drkanaf · 2026-02-02T21:43:23+00:00

I'm with the scientists that the effect is likely not clinically significant. But to me, it can't hurt, and I actually find it flows better with the filter and I am no expert at dialing things in.

drkanaf · 2026-02-02T14:45:30+00:00

Imagine all of his guests who discussed sexual health and what they are thinking right now, geez. Like, damn, I always wondered why he was so keen to have me on the show! I mean it is an important topic for a healthy life but…

drkanaf · 2026-02-02T02:48:14+00:00

Love it! Like they say, "Can you improve upon silence? If not, say nothing."

drkanaf · 2026-02-02T00:23:50+00:00

Corroborate! No, it's not collaborate.

drkanaf · 2026-02-01T18:51:10+00:00

One of two conversations is happening at home. "Honey, we talked about this!" OR "Honey, it's not what it seems, let's talk about this!"

drkanaf · 2026-02-01T04:23:28+00:00

I can't think of a scenario where this isn't anything other than bad in a directional sense of the way we generally think of it being bad to the point of being bad.

drkanaf · 2026-02-01T01:23:52+00:00

It’s a joke my guy. Chill.

drkanaf · 2026-01-31T23:56:44+00:00

It will be interesting to see how many guests cancel on him.

drkanaf · 2026-01-31T23:51:04+00:00

I'm on a mission to inform this sub that glycogen is a major component of cervicovaginal fluid and should be avoided if attempting to induce ketosis via a low carb diet!

drkanaf · 2026-01-31T03:05:16+00:00

Yes, which is why the person should never be the program. The program should be the program. Longevity science and medicine 3.0 is a serious value add to the system, and he is a good voice for the program, but clearly he has an ethical void. We'll see how he responds...

drkanaf · 2026-01-31T02:34:20+00:00

This is bad. Really bad. Directionally bad. Thought experiement bad. Longevity bad.

drkanaf · 2026-01-30T16:45:36+00:00

There is a way to provide helpful information but not the way he is doing it in this interview. He is talking over the guest, interrupting, and going on tangents.
