This man changed the game:

Dr. Peter Attia.

He dedicated his life to figuring out how humans can increase their lifespan & live to 100+.

Here are 5 game-changing habits he discovered (that you can start right now): Image
He wrote an entire book detailing how to prevent these 4 main "causes of death":

• Cancer
• Cardiovascular disease
• Neurodegenerative disease
• Type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction

The goal of longevity is preventing the “4 Horsemen” as Attia calls them.

Here's how: Image
1. Exercise.

Attia refers to exercise as the most potent longevity "drug" & even ranks it above diet in importance.

An ideal exercise routine would combine strength training, Zone 2 training, & VO2 max training.

But the most important one for the average person:
Zone 2 exercises like:

• Jogging
• Cycling
• Swimming

At around 60-70% of your maximum heart rate for 30-45 minutes

The more times a week you can do this, the better

“Going from 0 weekly exercise to just 3 hours/week can reduce your risk of death from all causes by 50%”
2. Sleep.

Attia equates a lot of potentially fatal health issues to poor sleep:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Poor metabolic health
• Poor cognitive health

If you need to improve your sleep habits, you should prioritize:
• Sleeping in a dark room
• Ditching electronics before bed
• Keeping your bedroom cool (~65 degrees Fahrenheit)

As far as supplements, Attia recommends:

Magnesium L-threonate, Glycine & ashwagandha.
3. Nutrition.

We should be eating less & aiming for a low-body fat percentage.

What & how much we eat affects everything from our physical health to our cognitive health.

While Attia doesn’t believe in recommending specific foods because the science is always changing…
He recommends these 3 nutrition habits:

• Calorie restriction
• Time-restricted eating (fasting)
• Dietary restrictions (ex. Keto or Mediterranean)

These 3 eating habits can help you reduce calories if needed.
4. Emotional health.

This is one of the most underrated aspects of longevity & lifespan.

There’s a strong link between poor emotional health (loneliness, depression) & risk of mortality.

Attua recommends these habits to help with emotional health:
• Therapy
• Practice mindfulness/gratitude
• Build genuine connections/community

These things can have a physical reaction in your body:

They help your body with regulating glucose metabolism & an optimal lipoprotein profile.
5. Bone density.

As we get older, it's important to prioritize bone health & density.

Falling & fracturing bones have a mortality rate of 15%-30%.

If you break a bone, it'll limit your activity & become dangerous for overall health.

4 things Attia recommends for bone health:
• If needed, consider hormone replacement therapy
• If needed, use bone density-increasing medication
• Optimize nutrition: Focus on protein & general nutritional recommendations
• Engage in heavy exercises: Strength training with heavy weights can stimulate bone growth
& those are the 6 major components of longevity that Peter Attia has discovered.

1 in 3 men have zero libido by 35.

And it's not just a bedroom problem...it's your heart, hormones & brain screaming for help.

Instead of being ashamed, follow these 8 ways to fix it naturally: 🧵

1. Stop training 7 days a week
First, let’s start with a fact: 1 in 3 men have low libido today compared to an estimated 5% in 1980.

It's not just reduced sex drive...it's fatigue, brain fog & depression.

Your body is shutting down reproduction because it thinks you're dying from chronic stress & sleep deprivation:
Men are suffering from it, but they stay silent thinking it's something to be ashamed of (I used to struggle with it too).

But it's not shameful, it's FIXABLE.

So let's jump into solutions that will help you restore it (bookmark them):

You're eating 5 grams of plastic weekly.

These plastics clog your arteries, slice your organs & kill your fertility.

Science says you can't detox them, but these 7 steps protect you before it's irreversible: 🧵

1. Stop using sea salt.
Before we get into solutions...

Scientists have already found microplastics in 20+ parts of the human body:
• Brain (30× liver levels)
• Lungs (deep tissue found)
• Heart (15/15 patients)
• Blood (80% samples)
• Testicles (100% tested)
• Placenta (100% samples)
• Breast milk (75% mothers)

It’s getting out of hand:
Now let's see how they're getting into your organs...then we’ll jump straight into prevention.

They're spreading through mitosis (when your cells divide, the new ones carry microplastics with them)

Watch the video below, it'll make sense in 24 seconds:

Your doctor puts you on pills for profit...

While peptides regrow organs, heal memory loss, reverse aging (& deliver 30+ benefits).

Here's everything you need to know about peptides (& the 8 most powerful):🧵

1. Peptides are natural.
Peptides aren't steroids—they're already IN YOUR BODY.

But everyone made you think they were dangerous because of pharma fear and zero education.

Watch this and understand EXACTLY how they work in just 60 seconds:
Most therapeutic peptides are identical to what your body already makes.

They send precise signals your cells recognize instantly.

It’s not “fake”...it’s bioidentical healing designed for fast & powerful results:

The mushroom of immortality.

Reishi.

A 2,000-year-old mushroom that eliminates stress, slows aging & helps fight cancer (with zero side effects)

Here’s everything you need to know about it (& how to use it right): 🧵
First, what is Reishi?

It’s a 1-in-3 million mushroom that has been used to boost immune strength, calm the mind, protect the heart, and extend lifespan.

But the market started flooding with fake ones (I’ll explain later how to spot them)…
Now let’s break down its insane benefits:

1. Reduces stress.

Reishi is a top adaptogen, balancing cortisol and calming the nervous system, helping the body handle stress without burnout.

Some doctors call it nature’s Xanax:

In 2025 being fat is a choice.

But they made you believe fat loss required pills & powders just to drain your bank.

Here are 13 science-based hacks I used to get shredded at 43 (copy them):

1.Stopped eating like a child
"Healthy eating is expensive" is a lie designed to keep you sick.

Cancer costs $150,000+.
Diabetes management: $800/month.
Heart surgery: $122,000.

You can pay $200 extra for quality food or $400 per doctor visit:
2.Stop eating 3 hours before bed.

Studies show insulin sensitivity drops by up to 26% after dark.

Dr. Satchin Panda’s research confirms early eating improves fat loss, glucose, and sleep.

This one shift changed my body composition almost overnight:

GLP-1s are the most powerful fat-loss tools ever created.

But 99% of doctors prescribe them wrong, causing:
• Pancreatic cancer
• Heart breakdown
• Severe muscle loss

Here’s everything you need to know about GLP-1s (& how to avoid damage): 🧵
First, understand what GLP-1s actually are:

They're NOT magic weight loss drugs.

They're hormones your body already produces to regulate blood sugar, insulin, and appetite.

The synthetic versions supercharge these natural pathways:
There are 3 main types most people know about:

Semaglutide (Ozempic) → Acts on GLP-1 receptor only
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) → Acts on GLP-1 + GIP receptors
Retatrutide → Acts on GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon (the holy trinity)

Most doctors only prescribe the first two (big mistake):
