Outlive: Longevity Science and Art

1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: A Groundbreaking Manifesto on Living Better and Longer

Drawing on the latest science, Dr. Peter Attia delivers innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health in this operating manual for longevity. The book challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health.

Mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. It often intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, where we take action now, rather than waiting.

This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is to help readers learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for them as individuals.

In Outlive, readers will discover:

• Why the cholesterol test at their annual physical doesn't tell them enough about their actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
• That they may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.
• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"—and how to begin training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
• Why they should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize their eating pattern.
• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.

Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, readers can plot a different path for their lives, one that lets them outlive their genes to make each decade better than the one before.
