Could @PeterAttiaMD live to 150? He recently told his podcast audience he’s bored of ‘sci-fi’ portrayals of ageing biology-and so am I!-but here’s why I think Peter living to 150 years old is not sci-fi…it just requires far greater investment in longevity research.
To be clear, I still think it’s far from certain that Peter will hit the big 120-but I think he’s missing something important when he makes comments like these.
If you want to find out more details of the treatments that could keep Peter-and you!-to live much healthier for longer, you might enjoy my book, Ageless ageless.link/
tl;dr? If you want to know how to live to 150, the most important thing isn’t biohacking, or optimising your supplement stack-it’s spreading the word about longevity science.

US life expectancy at 50 in 2019 via this life table www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6_2019_TR2022.html 92,171 (people still alive at 50) / 2 = 46,085; 45,385 are still alive at 82.
The study I reference about people ticking 4 out of 5 healthy behaviors living even longer www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.l6669
I calculate the number of deaths caused by ageing here. The US is actually on the low end for rich countries-the average across the high-income nations is 90% of deaths being caused by ageing. andrewsteele.co.uk/ageless/references/deaths-caused-by-ageing/
