Episode notes

Davidson Claire: What's your view of the probability that we will meaningfully extend the human lifespan in the next several decades? Davidson Claire: If we're talking about basically undoing aging, I'm not particularly optimistic that that's something that's going to happen in our lifetime. The problem with this approach, when applied to an organism as complicated as ourselves, is one, it's not clear how you would apply the factors across the body.

Dr. Peter Attia, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller "Outlive," is back to share cutting-edge tips for improving your sleep, nutrition, and emotional health. (If you missed the first part of our interview with Peter, you can listen to it here.)
