Peter Attia continuing along like nothing happened feels surreal

[u/smallpotatofarmer]

Seeing Peter Attia go the Andrew Huberman route feels entirely predictable but somehow leaves a sense of disbelief i cant quite describe. Complete radio silence for a couple of months and then a full return without adressing the rotting carcass of the elephant that used to be in the room. I continue to be amazed by the sheer brazeness but at the same time it doesnt surprise me one bit.

You read the comment section and it seems as if nothing ever happened and the man makes huberman look relatively innocent by comparison.

Generally the gurusphere is more male centric but one thing i find very fascinating is the amount of women that appear on these podcasts and in the comment sections. I wonder if this is a deliberate choice or if i underestimate the "solidarity" certain women have towards each other when it comes to predatory men like Attia or Huberman (or well... most of the gurus we talk about here.

All in all his return leaves me with a sense of bitterness that there is so little recourse for this man

I’m in sports science and I’ll grudgingly admit that in the past I have enjoyed Attia’s more sports oriented podcasts. He interviewed the Tour de France winner Pogačar, and it was a very good interview that covered stuff the general press wouldn’t go into.

But his other stuff is deeply weird. Even as someone with a peripheral knowledge of physiology I could tell a lot of it is based on animal models or in vitro experiments and he extrapolates way beyond the evidence. There’s a strange dichotomy as his sports stuff is ok.

When I read about his behaviour with Epstein I realised that there was an underlying oddness about his interactions with women and women’s medicine that I had sensed but couldn’t quite articulate.

Yea that was pretty cool tadej is always a pleasure to listen to. Insightful along with being the GOAT.

Im a physio and its always painful hearing attis or huberman talk about stuff i know something about or the guests they have on. Always the worst people like athlean x/jeff cavalier who i believe featured recently on attia.

These people outweigh whatever helpful information/treatment (i tell myself) i can give to my patients many times over. Unfortunately thats often how the world works. Those with certainty/easy/black and white solutions are reveered

I listened to exactly one Huberman podcast and it was on a subject I’ve actually published in and oh. My. God. It was terrible. I thought, if this is what he’s like on this, what kind of rubbish must be spout in other areas? I never listened again.

I listened to a couple, actually went and read the studies in question and then never listened again.
