Peter I have been a long time listener and supporter/member in the past. I have huge respect for your intent, your content and how you have supplemented my knowledge. I am an MD, 60 years old, and have dedicated myself faithfully to eating well, exercising ( in all disciplines) religiously and constantly questioning and researching to “be better”. I can name at least 20-25 guests you have interviewed that have been important to me in some way, from either an informational or philosophical perspective. This guest was the most dehumanizing and alienating person I can imagine. His “vision” of the future of humanity makes me question why I should care about my own longevity. He is obviously a person who has no children and does not realize that the focus of life is to spend more time doing what you love with the people you love. That defines us human. As a dad, I know you know that. This person does not. Sorry for the rant. I have never written a review ever about any “content “. I hugely respect you and look forward to learning from and be inspired by your podcast in the future. I respect and support not editing or limiting his voice. People need to hear this and realize the sad possible course of our future . But I will seek to avoid the input of superficial heartless idiots like this guest forever. Cheers

When I discovered this podcast I immediately soaked in ALL of the episodes recorded to date. Great guests and good in-depth coverage of topics. Thank you, Peter!

This podcast starts off slowly, but let me tell you, it quickly becomes one of the most captivating podcasts I've had in a long time! As someone who travels over 500,000 miles a year, I’ve tuned into countless podcasts, but after just 25% of this one, I was absolutely hooked! I could’ve easily dove into another two hours of this incredible conversation—it’s that good!

I have read your book multiple times. I love and admire your expertise. You do realize that the average college educated person has no idea what you’re saying. I have a graduate degree and I get very little from your podcasts. You have the best and the brightest who speak their scientific language. Would you consider a separate podcast focusing on how to keep yourself healthy? Speaking to the average person?

Have always loved this podcast but the Round Table episode was AMAZING. Hearing multiple experts converse about aging/health span was so insightful and entertaining. Would love to see more of these in the future.

Thanks for providing such technical content and helping us to remain students of our body! Love it!

I value the majority of Peter’s podcasts and am a member, but as noted before, signing in is problematic. Seems to be automatic now on my phone, but just not available on my iPad anywhere.

So frustrating! Even though I am a subscriber, I find it difficult/impossible to be recognized at such on Apple Podcasts . Then I don’t have access to the shows, and have to sit through the annoying subscription pitch. Plus , I cannot figure out how to search for episodes on my phone. I can certainly find them on my laptop. So for accessibility, ATTIA rates a ZERO. I gave 3 stars because I do enjoy his shows and find him knowledgeable and informative, explaining things mostly in understandable ways. I give him a 5 there. So actually , he rates a 2 1/2!!!!

The podcast used to be 5 stars where people could get a masterclass in clinical physiology on various topics such as learning lipids from guests like Tom Dayspring. Now it feels like most podcasts are behind a paywall and listeners are left with 1-2 mediocre releases a month. Overall, if you’re interested in Dr Attia for Longevity, buy his book and skip the podcast.

I'm not trivializing his arguments, but I wish I had been playing drinking game, with one shot of Topo Chico for every time he said "innovation." This is directionally correct, but very much an industry perspective, and unfortunately couched in a lot of management consultancy speak at times. Bring in someone smart who does advocacy work for the consumer side and you would get a very different set of answers, equally incisive and holistically more apposite, in my opinion.

Thank you for episode 327! I was in full student mode and am grateful for what you do, Dr. Attia. Saum explains everything so well. Genius!

Just listened to homie talking to the shaman. Hit all my chakras

I have been listening to this podcast for about a year. I’ve learned a lot from Attia and his guests and in general I think this podcast is well-done. However I frequently find myself wondering if this podcast is aimed at men because women’s perspectives are so rarely (if ever) addressed. I wish he would bring on more women as guests or even consider a woman co-host.

Just remember, their is nothing of value unless you subscribe to the podcast. That is right from the mouth of Attia and his producer.

Peter often has interesting guests on, but he spent so much time talking about himself that it’s disruptive distracting and causes me to shut down every podcast I open. I wish he would just let his guests speak.

Amazing episode. Informative with grace & love.

I first heard Peter when he was a guest on Jay Shetty’s podcast and I thought “wow this guy really knows what he’s talking about” So I decided to check out The Drive. And WOW talk about deep dive and detail. I don’t think I understood a single thing in the first episode I listened to, but I couldn’t stop. The more I listen the more I begin to understand. I really appreciate the work Peter puts into doing these episodes and his willingness to share his knowledge with us along with his connections with some truly great minds in this space whom most of us would never get a chance to hear from. Thank you Peter.

The episode with Belinda Beck about bone health is a godsend.

Really appreciate everything you do Dr. Attia. This episode was especially helpful as I have osteoporosis and finding reliable help/insights is challenging.

Love the podcast. Can you discuss Urolithin A as it pertains to aging and muscle recovery after exercise?

Peter Attia's combination of diligence, skepticism, and gift of communication make this podcast not only among the most cutting-edge health/medical information sources available, but the most listenable as well.

If you have seen your parents deteriorate and lose their independence in their 70’s and 80’s and don’t want to end up the same, then listen to Peter and apply his advice. While I do follow other health and medical podcasts and influencers, Dr. Attia always rises to the top. He cuts to the chase and does so in a way that is easy to digest and practical to apply to your life and those you love. You most likely need to make some drastic changes to your lifestyle to increase your healthspan and make it more likely that you will be able to live out your plans for your later years. Whether that is playing golf, traveling, hiking, or just playing with your grandkids, you won’t be able to to that if you are weak and visiting doctors all week with multiple medical issues. Turn the tables on most disease in old age and live a strong and vibrant life in your 70’s, 80’s and beyond. You found the perfect source, listen and take action!

I have been following for a few months and enjoy the wide breadth of topics. By far the best one was with Sebastian Junger regarding his NDE and new book. Both men were honest and vulnerable, relatable and the conversation was natural. I read the book in one sitting and considering a second tour through it.

This episode was a fail. Pharmaceutical trials are more trustworthy because they have to “answer to the FDA”????? What a joke. Too much of the FDA is funded by big pharm. Disappointed.

Love the show- always helpful and informative and I’m sure the nutrition ones always generate a ton of controversy. I do find myself wanting to interject and push back on the human energetics discussion though. For all of our known existence as a species we fought starvation and it can be looked at as a huge success that our new problem is obesity. To push back on the plane analogy- yes aviation is safety but the jet fuel pollution is arguably a problem and in putting more planes in the air, making them safer and encouraging more travel we make another problem. In the same way, advertising and food companies have made huge leaps and bounds in selling us food and obesity is pretty much the pollution of their success. Human energetics experiments are constantly being conducted by these companies and the ability for them to encourage more intake has been a huge success story for them.

The Drive, is my fanny pack of all-things-wellness. there’s a lot of information (noise) in the health/fitness/wellness podcast space, and it’s hard to find a podcast that isn’t pushing supplements or some scientific unfounded hack . i enjoy The Drive for its reasonable science based approach to fitness, wellness and longevity…informative essentials that i can fit into my fanny pack (a justifiable appendage sack) of wellness, w/great guests and entertaining conversations. my only request would be, that The Drive podcast begin selling swag, in the form of fanny packs, donning a patch of Peter Attia's face, which would be cool to see when i look down at my sack.

There is no doubt that Peter is exceptionally bright and talented. However, there seems to be a strong aversion to turning the highly technical and medical concepts into practical applications for the listener. He almost seems to want to avoid offering practical advice and relishes in my minutia of medical findings. This podcast and his book could be much more successful if there was a greater balance between the technical and the practical, it is this reason why I don’t listen to the podcast as much. Coming from someone with a PhD.

The Drive is loaded with outstanding material. Dr. Atia is easy to listen to and the podcasts flow almost too well. I highly recommend the AI in Medicine episode to everyone. It may be a bit intimidating as a topic, but flows well. By the end of the episode most people will have a better understanding of how things tie together in healthcare with regard to data.

Thank you for hosting Dena Dubai and the details on the studies of klotho. This is tremendous as we are a family that has suffered the devastating gift of generational Alzheimer’s/ Dementia

Like your very complete reports. It energizes me to try new exercises and that is very cool for this 63 yo. Peace, Steven Hessel in Houston

Best and most helpful podcast. Very well narrated and organized. Only thing it needs improvement is summary of each segment in layman’s terms void of the physician’s lingo.

I have no words to explain how sad and heartbreaking is to know you are proud to be friends with Kevin Spacey. It is like I’m mourning someone. The good news is that the heath/podcast space has many great options we can go after this.

Excellent episode. I appreciate the comprehensive information about enzymes etc. this podcast encourages me to work harder on my health

Post your Labwork report Dr Attia. No way your testosterone level is in the 400’s. You don’t even talk about your free testosterone level. Before continuing talking about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), you need to correct your understanding of it. Derek with More Plates More Dates can help you.

I like your podcast a lot but was surprised by your choice for foot health expert. Why would you have a chiropractor discuss foot health instead of a podiatrist that specializes in it? What’s next - a dentist to discuss orthopedic surgery? Hopefully you’ll circle back around on the topic and invite the actual specialist and most qualified person to discuss it.

Podcast that I listen to over and over. Peter’s Podcasts will change your life.

Leaving a five star review - In exchange, STRONGLY requesting a Secretariat episode!!

It's a master class on physiology; I learn a lot all the time plus Dr. Attia’s style is dependable, relatable, and joyful.

Most episodes feature guests hawking their latest book. Peter loves to talk about how much he loves working out. He’s obsessed with it. Some episodes are okay but generally they talk without actually saying anything.

the podcast has some good contents and topics. However, I would appreciate a more concise version of it. Maybe make another version of this podcast to be less than an hour? Summarize the content, and with snippets out of this one, and post a link to this one for people want to have extended version of it? Just an idea. I also agree with other reviewers, I wish the content would be more diverse opinions, Peter seems to carefully select guests that agree with his views, or even sounds and talks like him. One such example is the AMA, his staff interviews him, he sounds like him, talks like him, even jokes like him. I don’t like AMA, and his push for paid subscribers….

I’m really interested in the content of this show, BUT it’s clearly geared towards men. There’s nothing wrong with that - I just wish Dr. Attia were more upfront about it. Even looking at his guest list, there is an occasional woman as guest, but it’s rare. Couple that with the paywall for articles which synthesize publicly funded and available studies, I’ve gone from enthusiastic to ‘meh.’

I enjoy and learn from each episode, but this one connected on a physical, emotional and soul level.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST IF YOU ARE A WOMAN…….. As a medical provider, this podcast is absolutely disgusting. The misogyny is off the charts…. “Men need testosterone, women don’t, women don’t need HRT they are just complaining too much. Men should be treated with testosterone so that they can have a sex drive and feel good, women don’t need testosterone and it’s ridiculous that they wanna feel good and have a sex drive”. I am sooooo angry at these misogynistic men I want to scream. I’m so glad that women no longer have to go to misogynistic men like this who don’t have any empathy to how women feel.

Great guests and information.

I do not trust anyone else for online health information . Love.

Overall, I enjoy Attila’s podcasts. I was very interested in the shown on lower back pain (Jan29) with Dr. McGill but found the discussion was too technical for me to understand.

Can’t help but notice a plethora of episodes about longevity, I honestly hope I go out young, I have no desire to live forever or elongate my life, can you do an episode about that??

I really appreciate your podcast and the knowledge you and your colleagues share. I drive for hours at work and really enjoy the informative content you provide! Thank you, Michael J from NW Pennsylvania

Dr. Attia speaks eloquently about all topics related to body and mind. Though he is clearly a genius, he defers to his guests with authenticity, soaking up all they have to say. For a scientific mind to be so tuned into psycho-social-emotional issues is a miracle in itself but to be able to teach these topics as well as those rooted in hard science is mind-blowing. BEST PODCAST EVER.

This 11/23/23 podcast episode was a game changer for me! Loved it so much from The perspective of both the social scientist, Arthur Brooks and the MD expert on longevity. A book needs to be written together with these Two Incredible experts!
