So without further delay , I hope you enjoy this special episode of the Drive . Mhm Everything we're talking about Bob right now is based on longevity and that's very different than if you were asking this question through the lens of performance . Does that point kind of make sense or should I expand on that a bit ?
I'm your host , Peter Attia . This podcast , my website and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone . Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness full stop .
Does that point kind of make sense or should I expand on that a bit ? Yeah , I think you should expand a little bit maybe on the performance , health and longevity , particularly performance and longevity and the possible tradeoff between the two . If someone said to me , Peter , my goal is to break two hours and 40 minutes on the Chicago Marathon next year , I would be talking about this in a totally different manner .
Certainly , I wasn't thinking of this at 25 . I mean , at 25 you're sort of immortal . But whoever asked this question is presumably realizing that , hey , in 75 years , the world's gonna look different and I want to be able to do XY and Z .
Anyone who's a centenarian today , I'm willing to make an extreme statement , which I know is a dumb thing to do . Anybody who's a centenarian today is a centenarian because of their exceptional genes . They haven't hacked their way there .
