<p>If you’ve been reading the latest batch of the Epstein files, you may have noticed an unlikely name from the world of longevity and “Medicine 2.0”: Dr Peter Attia. To understand the connection between Jeffrey Epstein and Attia, I sat down with Sami Reiss, author of the <a target="_blank" href="https://superhealth.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips">Super Health.</a> An expert in “dark wellness,” <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gq.com/story/peter-attia-interview">Sami interviewed Attia way back for GQ</a> and has been following his rise (and fall) for a long time now.</p><p>In our chat, he breaks down the history of longevity medicine and Attia’s kind of basic approach to the science of aging. Hint: eat protein and do strength training. We get into <a target="_blank" href="https://superhealth.substack.com/p/attia-and-epstein">the emails showing Attia’s years-long post-conviction relationship with Epstein</a>, and we also touch on Epstein’s broader interest in genetics and eugenics (including a proposed sperm bank of Nobel laureates). And of course we gotta talk about masculinity’s role in all this—especially the obsession with testosterone replacement therapy in the longevity space. Because it’s really all about erections at the end of the day.</p><p>Non-Toxic Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
