Longevity physician; The Drive podcast
Peter Attia is a physician focused on longevity and the host of The Drive. Among the science-forward voices in this index he is one of the most measured: he treats peptides as a genuinely powerful class of therapeutics whose evidenced uses are confined to a 'relatively narrow subset,' and has likened the broader market to 'the Wild West.' He emphasizes the gap between compelling anecdote and well-designed clinical trials. Documented here from his AMA and podcast statements.
