You probably think that lowering your body fat is the healthy thing to do, and assume that gaining or carrying more body fat is unhealthy. Most of us would think that’s common sense at this point, but what if that’s all wrong?
In this episode expect to walk away shocked and a little befuddled:
- Get into the science of body fat and all the benefits you get from having adequate fat
- The appearance of how much or how little fat someone has is misleading
- Stop complicating food and exercise, don’t overeat, eat diverse foods, and enjoy eating

How is it possible a healthy diet doesn’t increase your lifespan? Is it all for nothing? Today we’re diving into longevity myths we’ve believed for too long.
Peter Attia, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the popular fasting app, you probably have downloaded right now, Zero, and the bestselling author, podcast host, and longevity health expert, is breaking the mold and exposing why we’ve been thinking about lifespan and healthspan all wrong.
His latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like.
In part 1 of this 2 part episode, Peter raises really interesting points on how the size of a person doesn’t accurately point toward metabolic health. One-third of the people that meet the criteria for obesity are actually metabolically healthy and have the same life expectancy of a person with a “healthier” BMI.
We’re exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and Peter, being the longevity health expert he is, is highlighting the differences between lifespan and healthspan that is critical in how we achieve success for each of these outcomes.
Stay tuned for part 2 of this episode where Peter starts breaking apart the calorie debate and why it doesn’t hold.
