Dr. Peter Attia is the life-extension doctor. He is neither vegan or animal based, but he is whole food based. I haven't been convinced by him to give up a plant based diet, but I have long thought if all we did is to consume an exclusively whole food diet we would be WAY ahead of the game.
The quality of the food we eat is the primary health consideration, and it is the cause of health, or the cause of disease, because it is the fuel for all the disease repair, and all the new tissue building processes, both of which are ongoing constantly and autonomically 24/7/365 birth to death.
It is almost inconceivable to me doctors used to say "diet doesn't matter" not all that long ago. And I still find it odd that so many doctors are visibly unhealthy themselves. What the heck are they learning in medical schools?
But I am also encouraged that so many young doctors are very healthy to the point of athleticism. This new breed of doctor knows that pharmacology is not the cause of health, and that their medical school education is sorely lacking in that regard.
As long as we are breathing our body continuously vectors to health. When we put in toxic sludge however the body repair/build processes are directed primarily to the removal of that additional load. And our diets have been SO BAD the repair/build capacity is overwhelmed...and we develop chronic problems that make us miserable and put us in the ground prematurely.
What Peter Attia does is start with the base case of a non-toxic high nutrition diet and adds to that all the other things we can do to get to the very highest levels of health. This is all good information to be aware of also.
