I see how many people comment petter should stop intrupting Andrew. Hey, Petter is a guest here. Peter is the informant here. He of course speaks more. Andrew might not get accurate timing to until he was really done talking, so then he could add additional information or follow up questions. My point is he hadnt finished sharing information so Peter is not at fault here.
A HUGE request, pls do Psoriasis
We suffer 😢 depressingly. 🙏
1. What causes it?
(at a teen age specifically)
2. How to cure it ?
3. Please suggest specific drugs or brands of medicines to cure it through the GUT.

I agree. Thanks.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:34 🚗 Automotive accidents remain a consistent cause of accidental deaths across age groups, though more common in those under 60.
01:33 💊 Fentanyl-related deaths have significantly surpassed other accidental deaths below the age of 65 due to its prevalence in various drugs, especially counterfeit pills.
02:34 📈 Deaths related to despair (suicide, alcohol-related, accidental overdoses) increased by nearly 20% annually since 2019, primarily driven by fentanyl usage.
04:07 🛌 Fentanyl is being mixed into various counterfeit drugs like Adderall, posing significant risks due to inconsistent dosing.
07:54 🏋️ Strengthening fast-twitch muscle fibers through training, including reactivity, explosiveness, and jumping, plays a crucial role in mitigating falls and injuries as people age.
I would have seriously told him to shut up and stop interrupting. The lack of social awareness is insane
Drug dealers sell a bunch of different drugs and often prepare/dose/weigh things on shared surfaces. Fentanyl is active & potentially deadly in extremely low quantities. If bro sells pressed "oxys" where the active ingredient is actually fentanyl everything else he supplies is now potentially contaminated. Peeps aint out there lacing their cocaine/meth/e/whatever with fentanyl cause deliberately killing your customer base is a shit business model. But a whole lot of fentanyl ends up in a whole lot of drugs and it can be linked back to poor sanitation because street dealers are street dealers.
Society is falling apart in terms of general health, mental health, politics, social division. The politicians no longer try to protect their citizens, businesses or keep their cites clean and safe. Borders are no longer enforced. No wonder people are seeking to numb themselves.
When he said “100mg for most people is a big hit” he meant to say 100 micrograms. That’s why
1 mg kills folks. It’s tenfold the big dose he’s referring to.
Let's talk about how many people die from medical mistakes. Maybe 250K per year.
… as a German Biologist –
you promote Phantasia Land Delusions
in your Disney Land synthetic world
It is about the 1 second constant awareness
and mental band width
And to always focus
on the bare essentials of Life.
Our world gets more complex by the second
and we are dreaming in delusions like never before.
That is the human Elimination process.
Works!
This guy is so intense. Imagine saying to your mom when she fell, if you broke your hip, I’d give you a 30% change of dying in the next year… jeez not sure that’s a helpful comment.
I have herniated discs on my lower back, and my doctor said I should avoid jumping. I’m walking with inclination and doing strength training. Is it enough?
Don't depress me. Yes, I've sort of lost the reason to be around so as you say, I might as well be dead. Thanks for your take. 😢
Basically just don't move
I love Pete Attia, but this was such a one way conversation.
He said his mom "is probably in her mid 70s"
This was supposedly a few months ago.
How does he not know how old his mom is?
“You might as well be dead.. if you can’t play golf” lmao- get this dude off your show, he’s just a goof.
So, how do we add the fast twitch fibers back?
Are "young, employed, insured workers" more or less likely to be users of Fentanyl?
When I host can’t shut up, and let their guest speak, I am out! Awful!
Do you think you can escape death???😂😂😂😂😂 everyone has there live purpose here everyone has a date bro. ( I strongly believe that )
I would STRONGLY add lack of any movement and not having any kind of spiritual work/involvement. NOT just religion
Do not strip to the waist and wave a white flag at the IDF.
Peter could just talk to himself instead of having Andrew on, would probably be more efficient than talking over him constantly
100 milligrams is a trip, but 1 milligram is overdose? I'm assuming he meant 100 micrograms.
Everyone commenting about Peter interrupting Andrew need to chill. They're actual legitimate friends, if Andrew had a problem with being interrupted he would assert himself. You're all severely overreacting.
huberman… an accidental overdose is an accidental over regardless of addiction history. please stop the stigma…
Move to a city where you don't need to drive to get around. Especially a European city that's super walkable. Go ahead, look up road deaths in places like that, then look at Austin. Look at Silicon Valley. I'll wait here safely in Brooklyn while you check it out.
“Probably in her mid 70’s”. Peter, really? Learn your momma’s age! Thanks for the valuable insights though.
