**Peter Attia** (0:11)
Hey, everyone, welcome to a sneak peek, Ask Me Anything, or AMA episode of the Drive podcast. I'm your host, Peter Attia. At the end of this short episode, I'll explain how you can access the AMA episodes in full, along with a ton of other membership benefits we've created. Or you can learn more now by going to peterattiamd.com forward slash subscribe. So without further delay, here's today's sneak peek of the Ask Me Anything episode.
Welcome to Ask Me Anything episode 41 I'm once again joined by Nick Stenson. Today's episode's a little different than the episodes of the past year. You've probably noticed over the past year, we've been doing AMAs around a lot of questions that have come in around the same topics. And then we go super deep dive on one topic, for example. Today we do more of what we used to do traditionally with an AMA. We just noticed we had so many questions that we hadn't been addressing.
And so we really batched them. And at the beginning of the episode, Nick is gonna kind of walk you through what the questions are. So I'm not even gonna really try to repeat that here. So if you're a subscriber and you wanna watch the full video of this podcast, you can find it on the show notes page, which of course where we keep all the notes for this podcast. If you're not a subscriber, you can watch a sneak peek of the video on our YouTube page.
So without further delay, I hope you enjoy AMA number 41

Peter, welcome to another AMA, how are you doing?

**Peter Attia** (1:41)
I'm doing well.

**Nick Stenson** (1:42)
That's good. We got a little bit of a different vibe for this AMA. In the past handful that we've done, we've kind of focused on a few big topics or collection of topics under one larger topics.
And so what we've been doing is in that time is just collecting a lot of questions that we think are really good, really interesting that maybe haven't fit in one of the past AMA topics.
Also, maybe that are as a result of one of the past AMA topics. And so what we did is we kind of flagged them all and we're gonna try and get through as many as we can get through here. So it's kind of gonna be a little more of an old school AMA on a variety of topics. And when we look at what we're hoping to cover, it's everything from medicine, aging, longevity, questions about your background, where it led you to where you are today. Also questions around how people should think about prioritizing all the various things in their life. We get a lot of questions where it's, you guys talk about ApoB, you talk about labs, you talk about screenings, you talk about sleep, exercise, like all these tactics, and it can get overwhelming for people. And so we'll hopefully have a good conversation on how you think about that in your life, and also with patients as people just try and sort through everything.
And then if we have time, we're gonna do an old school two-minute drill, which is have a variety of questions, put two minutes on the clock, and see if you can answer it in two minutes. The last time we did this was long ago with you and Bob, and I don't know if we answered any question under two minutes, so we'll see if it's any different here today. But with all that said, anything you wanna add before we just get into it?

**Peter Attia** (3:19)
No, not at all. Let's just do it. But we're not on a two-minute clock until you tell me, right?

**Nick Stenson** (3:24)
Yep, these first questions aren't two-minute clock. That's much like football, end of the game, two-minute drill. So we have some time to ease into it.
So the first question we got is, one of the phrases that people have often heard you reference throughout the podcast in interviews with other people is this idea of medicine 1, 2, 3.0.
I also know this is part of the book you're writing, and so it's a topic and a thought experiment that you think about a lot. And we received a lot of questions about people just saying, hey, can you dive into that a little more, explain more about what you mean and why it's important for people to think about as it relates to their own medical journey. I think this would be a really good foundation for our conversation today. So maybe you can just walk people through what is that and how you think about it.
