#10 - Dissecting Dr. Peter Attia’s ”Gospel of Stability”

Today, I sit down with Adrian Flis to dissect a controversial chapter of Peter Attia's new book, "Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity."  . . . Dr Peter Attia is one of the smartest people in the health and wellness-sphere.   I've been absorbing his content for about a decade, and have learned a lot not only from ideas, but also from his process.   Attia's skepticism and intellectual honesty makes him among the clearest thinkers and communicators I’ve ever come across. Which is why I was so excited to read his new book, Outlive, a compendium of his decade-long obsession with the science and art of longevity.   The book is fantastic. It's a timely, much-needed repudiation of our broken, reactive healthcare system. It serves as a thorough field-guide for anyone concerned with optimizing their health and preventing disease.   But there was one chapter in the book which represents a stark departure from Attia's typically rigorous thought process and - in my humble opinion - has the potential to do real harm. Chapter 12, "The Gospel of Stability: Relearning How to Move to Prevent Injury" badly misses the mark.   Not only is it full of scientific inaccuracies and nocebic, uncited conjecture, but I've seen firsthand the negative impacts the ideas within the chapter can have on my patients.   We get into all that and more in this episode, using this as an opportunity to present our own frameworks for injury prevent and pain management.
