== Early Life ==


Peter Attia was born on March 19, 1973, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.<ref name="amazon1" /> He grew up in the Toronto area and later pursued his undergraduate education in Canada before relocating to the United States for medical training.<ref name="about">{{cite web |title=About |url=https://peterattiamd.com/about/ |publisher=Peter Attia MD |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
Peter Attia was born on March 19, 1973, in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]].<ref name="prh">{{cite web |title=Peter Attia, MD |url=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2275129/peter-attia-md |publisher=Penguin Random House |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> He grew up in the Toronto area and developed interests in both science and athletics from an early age. Attia became a competitive swimmer and boxer during his youth, pursuits that would inform his later interest in human performance and physical health.<ref name="about">{{cite web |title=About |url=https://peterattiamd.com/about/ |publisher=Peter Attia MD |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>


Attia was an accomplished athlete in his youth and developed a strong interest in endurance sports. He became an open-water swimmer of considerable ability; a 2007 profile in the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' documented his participation in long-distance swimming events, including a swim across the [[Catalina Channel]].<ref name="latimes">{{cite news |title=Catalina Channel Swim |url=https://www.latimes.com/travel/la-os-swim18oct18-story.html |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> His background in endurance athletics later informed his approach to medicine and his interest in human performance, metabolic health, and the physiology of exercise.
Attia has spoken publicly about his personal struggles with weight and metabolic health, experiences that he has described as formative in shaping his medical career. In a 2013 [[TED talk]] and an accompanying essay published on the ''New York Times'' Well blog, Attia discussed an encounter earlier in his surgical career in which he treated a woman with [[type 2 diabetes]] who required a foot amputation. He recounted feeling judgmental toward the patient at the time, blaming her for her condition, only to later develop [[insulin resistance]] himself despite maintaining a rigorous exercise regimen. The experience prompted Attia to reconsider prevailing assumptions about the relationship between diet, obesity, and metabolic disease, and ultimately redirected his career toward metabolic science and nutrition research.<ref name="nyt-blaming">{{cite news |date=2013-07-12 |title=Blaming the Patient, Then Asking Forgiveness |url=https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/blaming-the-patient-then-asking-forgiveness/ |work=The New York Times |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
 
Attia is also an accomplished open-water swimmer. In 2008, he completed a swim from the shores of [[Catalina Island]] to [[Los Angeles]], a feat covered by the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''.<ref name="lat-swim">{{cite news |title=Swimming from Catalina |url=https://www.latimes.com/travel/la-os-swim18oct18-story.html |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>

== Education ==


Attia received his [[Bachelor of Science]] degree from [[Queen's University at Kingston|Queen's University]] in Kingston, Ontario.<ref name="about" /> He subsequently earned his [[Doctor of Medicine]] (MD) degree from the [[Stanford University School of Medicine]].<ref name="about" /> After completing medical school, Attia trained in general surgery at the [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in Baltimore, Maryland, where he spent five years as a surgical resident.<ref name="about" /><ref name="prh">{{cite web |title=Peter Attia, MD |url=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2275129/peter-attia-md |publisher=Penguin Random House |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> He also spent two years at the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH) as a surgical oncology fellow at the [[National Cancer Institute]], where his research focused on immune-based therapies for [[melanoma]].<ref name="about" /><ref name="prh" />
Attia attended [[Queen's University at Kingston|Queen's University]] in [[Kingston, Ontario]], where he earned a [[Bachelor of Science]] degree. He subsequently enrolled at the [[Stanford University School of Medicine]], where he earned his [[Doctor of Medicine|MD]]. Following medical school, Attia completed his residency in general surgery at the [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]. He also spent two years at the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH) as a surgical oncology fellow at the [[National Cancer Institute]], where his research focused on immune-based therapies for [[melanoma]].<ref name="about" /><ref name="prh" />
 
After completing his formal medical training, Attia pursued additional work in the field of risk assessment and applied mathematics. He joined the consulting firm [[McKinsey & Company]], where he worked on credit risk in the firm's corporate-risk practice, an experience that he has cited as influential in his later data-driven approach to medicine.<ref name="about" />


== Career ==
== Career ==


=== Early Medical Career and McKinsey ===
=== Early Medical Career and Shift to Nutrition Science ===


Following his surgical training at Johns Hopkins and his fellowship at the NIH, Attia did not pursue a conventional career in academic surgery or oncology. Instead, he joined [[McKinsey & Company]], the global management consulting firm, where he worked in the healthcare practice.<ref name="about" /><ref name="prh" /> His time at McKinsey exposed him to the business and systems-level aspects of healthcare delivery, though he would eventually leave the consulting world to return to clinical work with a new focus on longevity and preventive medicine.
Attia's early career followed a conventional surgical track, with training at Johns Hopkins and the National Cancer Institute. However, his personal experience with metabolic disease and his growing skepticism of conventional dietary guidelines led him to transition away from surgical practice toward research into nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease prevention.<ref name="nyt-blaming" />


=== Nutrition Science Initiative ===
In 2012, Attia co-founded the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) alongside [[Gary Taubes]], a science journalist known for challenging mainstream nutritional orthodoxy, particularly regarding the role of carbohydrates and sugar in obesity and metabolic disease. NuSI was conceived as an ambitious effort to fund rigorous, large-scale studies aimed at resolving fundamental questions about the causes of obesity—an initiative that ''[[Forbes]]'' described as a "Manhattan Project to end the obesity epidemic."<ref name="forbes-nusi">{{cite news |last=Husten |first=Larry |date=2012-09-12 |title=A Manhattan Project to End the Obesity Epidemic |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryhusten/2012/09/12/a-manhattan-project-to-end-the-obesity-epidemic/#4ac317f61c9b |work=Forbes |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> The organization attracted significant philanthropic funding and media attention, with coverage in ''Forbes'', the ''[[Washington Post]]'', and ''[[Pacific Standard]]'' magazine.<ref name="psmag">{{cite news |title=What Makes Smart Peter Attia |url=https://psmag.com/social-justice/makes-smart-peter-attia-nutrition-science-initiative-70767 |work=Pacific Standard |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref><ref name="wapo-nusi">{{cite news |date=2014-08-25 |title=Is it what we eat, or that we overeat? A look at the effort to figure out why we're fat |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/is-it-what-we-eat-or-that-we-overeat-a-look-at-the-effort-to-figure-out-why-were-fat/2014/08/25/556a72f2-28c7-11e4-958c-268a320a60ce_story.html |work=The Washington Post |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>


In 2012, Attia co-founded the [[Nutrition Science Initiative]] (NuSI) alongside science journalist [[Gary Taubes]].<ref name="forbes2012" /> The organization was established with the goal of reducing the economic and social burden of obesity and obesity-related diseases by funding and facilitating rigorous scientific research into the fundamental causes of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction.<ref name="forbes2012" /> Attia and Taubes described their ambition for NuSI as analogous to a "[[Manhattan Project]]" for obesity, arguing that existing nutritional science had failed to produce definitive answers about the dietary drivers of the obesity epidemic.<ref name="forbes2012" />
''Forbes'' contributor Dan Munro wrote about NuSI's approach, noting that the organization sought to reframe the debate around obesity by questioning whether the caloric balance model—the idea that obesity results simply from consuming more calories than one expends—was an oversimplification that had impeded progress in treating metabolic disease.<ref name="forbes-munro">{{cite news |last=Munro |first=Dan |date=2013-06-29 |title=Are We Fighting the Wrong Battle in the Obesity War? |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2013/06/29/are-we-fighting-the-wrong-battle-in-the-obesity-war/#52c3ff07e43c |work=Forbes |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> Attia eventually departed from NuSI and the organization later ceased major operations, though it had succeeded in funding several peer-reviewed studies during its active years.


NuSI received significant financial backing and media attention during its early years. A 2013 article in ''[[Forbes]]'' explored the initiative's central premise — that the conventional focus on caloric balance might be misguided, and that the type of calories consumed, particularly carbohydrates and their effects on insulin, could be a more important factor in obesity.<ref name="forbes2013">{{cite news |last=Munro |first=Dan |date=2013-06-29 |title=Are We Fighting The Wrong Battle In The Obesity War? |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2013/06/29/are-we-fighting-the-wrong-battle-in-the-obesity-war/#52c3ff07e43c |work=Forbes |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref> The ''[[Washington Post]]'' reported on NuSI's research agenda in 2014, describing the effort to determine whether "it is what we eat or that we overeat" and noting the organization's funding of controlled metabolic ward studies designed to test competing hypotheses about the causes of obesity.<ref name="wapo2014">{{cite news |date=2014-08-25 |title=Is it what we eat or that we overeat? A look at the effort to figure out why we're fat |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/is-it-what-we-eat-or-that-we-overeat-a-look-at-the-effort-to-figure-out-why-were-fat/2014/08/25/556a72f2-28c7-11e4-958c-268a320a60ce_story.html |work=The Washington Post |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
=== Private Medical Practice ===


A profile in ''[[Pacific Standard]]'' examined Attia's intellectual background and his approach to nutritional science, describing his transition from surgeon to nutrition researcher and the scientific questions motivating NuSI's work.<ref name="psmag">{{cite news |title=What Makes Us Smart: Peter Attia, Nutrition Science Initiative |url=https://psmag.com/social-justice/makes-smart-peter-attia-nutrition-science-initiative-70767 |work=Pacific Standard |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
Following his departure from NuSI, Attia established a private medical practice focused on what he terms "Medicine 3.0"—a proactive, personalized approach to medicine that emphasizes the prevention of chronic diseases associated with aging, including [[cardiovascular disease]], [[cancer]], [[neurodegenerative disease]], and [[type 2 diabetes]]. His practice, called Early Medical, applies principles drawn from nutrition science, exercise physiology, sleep science, pharmacology, and emotional health to extend both lifespan and healthspan (the period of life spent in good health).<ref name="about" /><ref name="outlive-page">{{cite web |title=Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity |url=https://peterattiamd.com/outlive/ |publisher=Peter Attia MD |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>


Attia also attracted attention for a 2013 [[TED (conference)|TED]] talk and accompanying essay in which he discussed the stigma associated with obesity and diabetes. Writing in the ''New York Times'' "Well" blog, he reflected on his earlier experiences as a surgeon, describing an incident in which he had been dismissive of an obese patient and expressing regret for his lack of empathy. The essay questioned whether the medical profession's tendency to blame patients for their metabolic conditions was itself a barrier to understanding the underlying science.<ref name="nytwell2013">{{cite news |date=2013-07-12 |title=Blaming the Patient, Then Asking Forgiveness |url=https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/blaming-the-patient-then-asking-forgiveness/ |work=The New York Times |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
Attia's approach draws on extensive biomarker testing, advanced imaging, and individualized protocols. He has advocated for the use of continuous glucose monitors by non-diabetic patients, zone 2 cardiovascular training, resistance training for maintaining muscle mass and bone density with age, and attention to sleep quality as a pillar of metabolic health. His framework stands in contrast to what he characterizes as "Medicine 2.0," a reactive model focused on treating diseases after they manifest rather than preventing their onset.<ref name="about" />


=== Longevity Medicine and Private Practice ===
=== ''The Drive'' Podcast ===


After his involvement with NuSI, Attia transitioned to private medical practice focused on what he describes as "applied science of longevity." Through his practice, Early Medical, he works with individual patients on strategies to extend both [[lifespan]] and [[healthspan]] — the period of life spent in good health.<ref name="about" /> His clinical approach integrates principles of [[exercise physiology]], nutritional biochemistry, sleep science, pharmacology, and emotional health, with the stated goal of delaying or preventing the onset of chronic diseases including [[cardiovascular disease]], [[cancer]], [[neurodegenerative disease]], and [[type 2 diabetes]].<ref name="about" /><ref name="prh" />
Attia hosts ''The Drive'', a long-form podcast in which he interviews scientists, physicians, researchers, and other experts on topics related to health, longevity, and medicine. The podcast, which began in 2018, features episodes that frequently exceed two to three hours in length and cover subjects including [[atherosclerosis]], [[Alzheimer's disease]], exercise science, cancer screening, pharmacology, and mental health.<ref name="about" /><ref name="website">{{cite web |title=Peter Attia MD |url=https://peterattiamd.com/ |publisher=Peter Attia MD |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>


Attia's podcast, ''The Drive'', became one of the most downloaded health and medicine podcasts, featuring long-form interviews with researchers, clinicians, and scientists across multiple disciplines. The podcast served as a primary platform for disseminating his views on longevity science to a broad audience.<ref name="about" />
''The Drive'' has attracted a large audience and has contributed substantially to Attia's public profile. The podcast has featured interviews with researchers and public figures across a range of disciplines, and Attia has been credited with making complex medical and scientific topics accessible to a lay audience through his detailed, data-oriented interview style.


=== ''Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity'' ===
=== ''Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity'' ===


In March 2023, Attia published ''Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity'', co-written with journalist Bill Gifford and published by [[Harmony Books]], an imprint of [[Penguin Random House]].<ref name="prh" /><ref name="outlive" /> The book presents Attia's framework for what he calls "Medicine 3.0" — a proactive, prevention-focused approach to healthcare that he contrasts with the conventional reactive model of treating diseases after they manifest. ''Outlive'' covers topics including exercise, nutrition, sleep, emotional health, and the use of pharmaceutical and diagnostic tools to detect and address disease risk factors early in life.<ref name="outlive" />
In March 2023, Attia published his first book, ''Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity'', co-written with Bill Gifford and published by [[Harmony Books]], an imprint of [[Penguin Random House]].<ref name="prh" /><ref name="outlive-page" /> The book presents Attia's framework for extending lifespan and healthspan, organized around what he identifies as the "Four Horsemen" of chronic disease—cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and type 2 diabetes—and the lifestyle and medical interventions that he argues can mitigate or delay their onset.
 
''Outlive'' became a commercial success, reaching the ''New York Times'' bestseller list and ranking among the top-selling nonfiction titles on Amazon for multiple weeks in 2023.<ref name="amazon-charts" /> In a May 2023 interview with ''The New York Times Magazine'', Attia discussed the book's themes and his broader philosophy on preventive medicine.<ref name="nyt-interview">{{cite news |date=2023-05-22 |title=Peter Attia Interview |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/22/magazine/peter-attia-interview.html |work=The New York Times Magazine |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>
 
The book also addressed Attia's personal history with emotional health and mental well-being, including his experience with therapy. This dimension of the book marked a departure from purely clinical or scientific discussions and was noted by reviewers as lending the work a more personal quality.
 
=== Media Appearances and Consulting ===
 
Attia has appeared on numerous podcasts and media programs, contributing to public discussions on health and longevity. He appeared in the [[National Geographic]] and [[Disney+]] documentary series ''[[Limitless with Chris Hemsworth]]'' (2022), in which actor [[Chris Hemsworth]] explored various aspects of health and aging. In the series, Hemsworth underwent testing that revealed he carried two copies of the [[APOE4]] gene variant, which is associated with elevated risk of [[Alzheimer's disease]]; Attia was consulted regarding the implications of this finding.<ref name="gma-hemsworth">{{cite news |title=Chris Hemsworth discovers risk for Alzheimer's disease in series 'Limitless' |url=https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/chris-hemsworth-discovers-risk-alzheimers-disease-series-limitless-93442609 |work=Good Morning America |access-date=2026-02-23}}</ref>

Peter Attia (born March 19, 1973) is a Canadian-American physician, author, and media figure who has become one of the most prominent voices in the field of longevity medicine. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Attia trained as a surgeon at Stanford University and later shifted his focus to the science of healthspan and lifespan extension, building a substantial following through his medical practice, podcast, and public writing. He is the author of Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, published in 2023, which became a New York Times bestseller and one of the top-selling nonfiction books of that year.[1] Attia was named to Time magazine's TIME100 Health list for his influence on public discourse around health and longevity.[2] In January 2026, he was hired as a contributor to CBS News, but departed the role the following month after the release of the Epstein files revealed that he had exchanged emails with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[3][4]

Early Life

Peter Attia was born on March 19, 1973, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[5] He grew up in the Toronto area and developed interests in both science and athletics from an early age. Attia became a competitive swimmer and boxer during his youth, pursuits that would inform his later interest in human performance and physical health.[6]

Attia has spoken publicly about his personal struggles with weight and metabolic health, experiences that he has described as formative in shaping his medical career. In a 2013 TED talk and an accompanying essay published on the New York Times Well blog, Attia discussed an encounter earlier in his surgical career in which he treated a woman with type 2 diabetes who required a foot amputation. He recounted feeling judgmental toward the patient at the time, blaming her for her condition, only to later develop insulin resistance himself despite maintaining a rigorous exercise regimen. The experience prompted Attia to reconsider prevailing assumptions about the relationship between diet, obesity, and metabolic disease, and ultimately redirected his career toward metabolic science and nutrition research.[7]

Attia is also an accomplished open-water swimmer. In 2008, he completed a swim from the shores of Catalina Island to Los Angeles, a feat covered by the Los Angeles Times.[8]

Education

Attia attended Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. He subsequently enrolled at the Stanford University School of Medicine, where he earned his MD. Following medical school, Attia completed his residency in general surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He also spent two years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute, where his research focused on immune-based therapies for melanoma.[6][5]

After completing his formal medical training, Attia pursued additional work in the field of risk assessment and applied mathematics. He joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, where he worked on credit risk in the firm's corporate-risk practice, an experience that he has cited as influential in his later data-driven approach to medicine.[6]

Career

Early Medical Career and Shift to Nutrition Science

Attia's early career followed a conventional surgical track, with training at Johns Hopkins and the National Cancer Institute. However, his personal experience with metabolic disease and his growing skepticism of conventional dietary guidelines led him to transition away from surgical practice toward research into nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease prevention.[7]

In 2012, Attia co-founded the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) alongside Gary Taubes, a science journalist known for challenging mainstream nutritional orthodoxy, particularly regarding the role of carbohydrates and sugar in obesity and metabolic disease. NuSI was conceived as an ambitious effort to fund rigorous, large-scale studies aimed at resolving fundamental questions about the causes of obesity—an initiative that Forbes described as a "Manhattan Project to end the obesity epidemic."[9] The organization attracted significant philanthropic funding and media attention, with coverage in Forbes, the Washington Post, and Pacific Standard magazine.[10][11]

Forbes contributor Dan Munro wrote about NuSI's approach, noting that the organization sought to reframe the debate around obesity by questioning whether the caloric balance model—the idea that obesity results simply from consuming more calories than one expends—was an oversimplification that had impeded progress in treating metabolic disease.[12] Attia eventually departed from NuSI and the organization later ceased major operations, though it had succeeded in funding several peer-reviewed studies during its active years.

Private Medical Practice

Following his departure from NuSI, Attia established a private medical practice focused on what he terms "Medicine 3.0"—a proactive, personalized approach to medicine that emphasizes the prevention of chronic diseases associated with aging, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and type 2 diabetes. His practice, called Early Medical, applies principles drawn from nutrition science, exercise physiology, sleep science, pharmacology, and emotional health to extend both lifespan and healthspan (the period of life spent in good health).[6][13]

Attia's approach draws on extensive biomarker testing, advanced imaging, and individualized protocols. He has advocated for the use of continuous glucose monitors by non-diabetic patients, zone 2 cardiovascular training, resistance training for maintaining muscle mass and bone density with age, and attention to sleep quality as a pillar of metabolic health. His framework stands in contrast to what he characterizes as "Medicine 2.0," a reactive model focused on treating diseases after they manifest rather than preventing their onset.[6]

The Drive Podcast

Attia hosts The Drive, a long-form podcast in which he interviews scientists, physicians, researchers, and other experts on topics related to health, longevity, and medicine. The podcast, which began in 2018, features episodes that frequently exceed two to three hours in length and cover subjects including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, exercise science, cancer screening, pharmacology, and mental health.[6][14]

The Drive has attracted a large audience and has contributed substantially to Attia's public profile. The podcast has featured interviews with researchers and public figures across a range of disciplines, and Attia has been credited with making complex medical and scientific topics accessible to a lay audience through his detailed, data-oriented interview style.

Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

In March 2023, Attia published his first book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, co-written with Bill Gifford and published by Harmony Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.[5][13] The book presents Attia's framework for extending lifespan and healthspan, organized around what he identifies as the "Four Horsemen" of chronic disease—cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and type 2 diabetes—and the lifestyle and medical interventions that he argues can mitigate or delay their onset.

Outlive became a commercial success, reaching the New York Times bestseller list and ranking among the top-selling nonfiction titles on Amazon for multiple weeks in 2023.[1] In a May 2023 interview with The New York Times Magazine, Attia discussed the book's themes and his broader philosophy on preventive medicine.[15]

The book also addressed Attia's personal history with emotional health and mental well-being, including his experience with therapy. This dimension of the book marked a departure from purely clinical or scientific discussions and was noted by reviewers as lending the work a more personal quality.

Media Appearances and Consulting

Attia has appeared on numerous podcasts and media programs, contributing to public discussions on health and longevity. He appeared in the National Geographic and Disney+ documentary series Limitless with Chris Hemsworth (2022), in which actor Chris Hemsworth explored various aspects of health and aging. In the series, Hemsworth underwent testing that revealed he carried two copies of the APOE4 gene variant, which is associated with elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease; Attia was consulted regarding the implications of this finding.[16]

Attia's work has also been featured in The Times of London, where his exercise recommendations for maintaining fitness over the age of 60 were profiled.[17]

CBS News Contributor Role and Departure

In January 2026, Attia was hired as a contributor to CBS News, a role in which he was expected to provide medical and health commentary for the network's programming.[3] The appointment reflected his growing prominence as a public-facing medical commentator.

However, in early February 2026, the release of the Epstein files—a tranche of documents made public by the United States Department of Justice—revealed that Attia had exchanged emails with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[3][4] The disclosure prompted immediate scrutiny from media outlets and the public.

On February 23, 2026, multiple news organizations reported that Attia had resigned from his CBS News contributor role. The New York Times reported that Attia left the position "about three weeks after the revelation" of his correspondence with Epstein.[3] The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Attia was "out at CBS News as a contributor after Epstein Files revelations."[4] The Washington Post described Attia as "stepping down from his role as a CBS News contributor after the Justice" Department's release of documents that surfaced the emails.[18]

The Wall Street Journal reported that Attia was "leaving his role as a CBS News contributor after scrutiny" related to the Epstein revelations.[19] CNBC reported that Attia "resigned as a contributor to CBS News amid fallout over his past email correspondence with convicted sex" offender Epstein.[20] NBC News similarly reported that Attia was "stepping down as a contributor to CBS News amid growing scrutiny on his email exchanges with the late" Epstein.[21] The Guardian reported that Attia resigned after the files "reveal communication between the two men."[22] CNN described Attia as a "celebrity doctor" who "resigned from his new contributor position at CBS News following new revelations about his relationship" with Epstein.[23]

The episode received extensive national and international media coverage, with reporting from at least eight major news outlets on the same day.

Personal Life

Attia is married to Jill Attia, and the couple have three children.[5] The family resides in the Austin, Texas area, where Attia operates his medical practice.[6]

Attia has spoken publicly about his personal struggles with mental health and emotional well-being. In Outlive and in various podcast episodes, he has discussed undergoing therapy and has described the process of addressing anger and emotional patterns that he traced to his upbringing. He has characterized emotional health as an essential component of longevity, a perspective he has described as evolving significantly over the course of his career.[13][15]

Attia holds dual Canadian and American citizenship.[6]

Recognition

Attia was named to Time magazine's TIME100 Health list, which recognizes individuals who have had a significant impact on public health.[2]

His book Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity was a New York Times bestseller and reached the top of Amazon's nonfiction bestseller charts in 2023.[1] The book was published by Harmony Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, and has been translated into multiple languages.[5]

Attia's TED talk on the need for empathy in treating metabolic disease, delivered in 2013, received significant attention and was widely viewed online. The talk, in which he described his regret at having judged a diabetic patient and his subsequent realization about the complexity of metabolic disease, helped establish his public profile as a medical commentator willing to challenge conventional wisdom.[7]

Through The Drive podcast and his social media presence, Attia built a substantial following among people interested in evidence-based approaches to health, exercise, and aging. His influence on public health discourse was sufficient that CBS News hired him as a contributor in 2026, though this role was short-lived.[3]
