About this episode

Have you ever found yourself thinking you're fine, only to discover that something is not right within your own body? 

When is the right time to consciously invest in your health, and just how crucial is it to understand your family's health history?

There are so many questions and so many answers are needed for us to get a better understanding of our own health.

Today, I am excited to share the conversation I had with Peter Attia. Peter is the founder of Early Medical, a medical practice that applies the principles of Medicine 3.0 to patients with the goal of lengthening their lifespan and simultaneously improving their healthspan. He is the host of The Drive, one of the most popular podcasts covering the topics of health and medicine.

We explore the the detrimental effects of over-nourishment and three transformative approaches to address this imbalance and unlock the path to optimal well-being, the concept of glucose control and its profound impact on our overall health, and the consequences of consuming nutrient-deficient plants and unravel the complex interplay between regenerative agriculture and the quality of our soil.

In our pursuit of healing, we delve into the profound connection between childhood wounds and maladaptive behaviors in adulthood and identify the self-destructive behaviors that may be hindering your progress.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to reverse aging 

When is the best time to invest in your health

How to predict and prevent possible health risks

The benefits of changing your diet to address deficiencies in your body

The link between physical and mental health

How unaddressed big T traumas negatively affect our adult life

How to undo your self-destructive behaviors

Join us on this transformative journey as we uncover the wisdom and insights needed to cultivate a life of vitality, resilience, and healing.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
