The Medicine 3.0 Approach
Attia advocates for 'Medicine 3.0'—a proactive approach to health that focuses on preventing disease rather than just treating it. Peptides fit into this framework as tools for optimizing biological function before problems arise.
Growth Hormone Optimization
Unlike some who advocate for direct HGH use, Attia has discussed growth hormone secretagogues like Tesamorelin as potentially safer alternatives. These peptides stimulate natural GH production, maintaining the body's feedback systems.
Evidence-Based Skepticism
Attia is known for his rigorous evaluation of evidence. He openly discusses what we know, what we think we know, and what we don't know about various interventions, including peptides.
Integration with Lifestyle
Peptides are just one component of Attia's recommended approach to longevity, which also includes exercise, sleep optimization, nutritional biochemistry, and emotional health.
