What is the Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia?
Outlive by physician Peter Attia reframes the goal of preventive medicine from avoiding early death to maximizing the quality and function of your final decades through early intervention in the four major chronic diseases: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and metabolic dysfunction. Attia brings his decade of clinical research and personal health optimization practice to accessible prose that challenges conventional medical wisdom and empowers readers to take control of their long-term health trajectory. The book covers exercise, nutrition, sleep, emotional health, and a precision medicine approach to longevity that is both practical and evidence-based.
