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!

Do you listen to Dr H? Just this week artificial sweeteners + signal> insulin = hunger For some with more or less leptin maybe not as dramatic. But he stated the zero cal cola drinker doesn’t loose weight and may gain weight because they are “hungrier’ and eat more. Also talked about ‘food industry ‘ knowing this and using it to drive purchase of their products.

I have be an avid listener to this podcast. I am also a physician specializing in functional medicine. I felt this episode was 110% an advertisement for the company. Peter needs to have Sonnenburgs and Gardner’s who are microbiome/nutrition researchers. They are not trying to sell a product. Their recent papers would totally disagree with the claims of this person made on the behalf of this financially motivated person. Peter please have the above researchers on to discuss the true science behind this topic. Thank you

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. Had a lumpectomy, radiation and estrogen therapy. I am fine, by the grace of God. Now my friend is going through the battle. Unfortunately, she’s having a much tougher time. Five months of chemotherapy then a double mastectomy in February. She wants reconstructive surgery. It just seems like so much to put your body through but she has her mind made up. We are both 68 and widowed. All that to say “thank you”. I was riveted to this episode!! God speed!!

The heavy dosage of "faith" and reference to values placed onto "family" is disconcerting, a real turn off for those of us who are freethinkers and free from religiosity and fairies and holy ghosts and invisible gods

The best of the best. I love this podcast!

I look forward to Monday mornings knowing that I am will be medically entertained. I have no medical background but ability to bring topics to a level that I can understand is a great talent. Your authentic style combined with your intellect is unmatched. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better healthier place.

Wonderful episode. I listened the week I was diagnosed with Breast cancer. Having this in depth and so easy to understand discussion helped me more then you can imagine. Thank you.

This podcast was a favorite when it helped my clients improve their health with lifestyle change. Now it’s all about drugs and procedures.

I’m a new listener and obsessed with the incredible content of this podcast. I will be signing up as a member soon. I just finished Episode 206, the compilation one for those of us newbies and found it to be so valuable! I’m a 49 year old post menopausal woman who loves to lift heavy and run. I recently discovered I have high apo-b and I am one in the healthy my whole life category with high cholesterol driven by high HDL. But I’m in it to be a kickass 90 year old so working through that. Please do more interviews for women in menopause! It’s such an under represented space with quality content! I look forward to learning more!

Relevant, comprehensive discussion about diagnosis, treatment & prognosis of breast cancer. One could definitely be well prepared after listening to navigate medical/surgical options. This podcast provides relevant medical information from experts in their fields. I don’t miss an episode.

Informative, cutting edge. Always delivers 👍🏽

The breast cancer podcast is very thorough and informative. Thank you!!

What about these in your conv with Doc Hal

I’ll start with the fact that I am a fan of Dr. Attia and I find him to be incredibly knowledgeable. I also find him to be a bit too technical and I often find it hard to stay focused on his show. I am not a medical professional and all of the terminology and acronyms become a bit of a foreign language. Eventually I find that I know longer understand the discussion. It’s not that I am uneducated. I hold graduate degrees. They just aren’t in the medical profession. Again, I truly appreciate his dedication and knowledge, however, I think I would appreciate the podcast much more if it was in layman’s terms.
