About
Peter Attia trained as a general surgeon at Johns Hopkins and spent two years as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute studying immune-based therapies for melanoma before leaving academic medicine. After a period at McKinsey, he founded a private longevity clinic in 2014. His podcast, The Peter Attia Drive, became the primary long-form venue for translating clinical research on aging, cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, and cancer prevention into practice. His framework — Medicine 3.0 — argues that medicine’s default mode of waiting for disease symptoms before treating fails at the problem of longevity, and that the only rational strategy is identifying and interrupting chronic disease decades before symptoms through proactive, personalized prevention.
