Dr. Peter Attia
Dr. Peter Attia is a Superstar. I have read his book and followed his excellent podcasts for four years. Metabolic syndrome is my #1 public health concern and Peter is a expert on this topic.
Sharing my interest.
The rising tide of metabolic disease represents one of the greatest health challenges of our time. Metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are each independently associated with elevated risk of numerous other deadly conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. But metabolic disorders are also highly interconnected, with 50-70% of patients with NAFLD also presenting with T2D. Given the health implications of these conditions and the frequency with which they co-occur, interest is growing in whether various metabolic derangements might interact in their effects on promoting other diseases. Indeed, a study by Kim et al. recently explored the effects of concurrent T2D and NAFLD on cardiovascular risk relative to each of these conditions in isolation, offering timely insights on a critical question for health in the developed world.
From his email to me to my Substack to you
I am sharing his email message due to my sense of urgency that every Canadian become aware of the most serious health crisis of our age. In America, for example, current estimates are that 200 million (~60% of the USA) are sufferers of various stages of Metabolic Syndrome and are unaware of it.
I am unaware of estimates for Canada, but if it is even 30%, then it would mean that 12 million Canadians are subject to the long term consequences of this chronic problem.
Imagine the cost to Canada’s Health Care Systems if Metabolic Syndrome does not get the same attention as tobacco consumption did over the past two decades.
Worse yet, imagine the loss of the quality of life for every person who ignores this issue at their peril.

My son follows Peter Attia. He also took the advice of PETER ATTIA when he was hosting PETER HOTEZ on HIS show and ENDORSED THE SHOTS. My son got VERY ILL with his second shot, and a few months later wound up in emergency with VERY CONCERNING HEART ISSUES. Emergency could not find anything to explain his serious symptoms. I wait with a certain degree of fear, hoping no serious DAMAGE has been done. BTW my son is a VERY FIT ATHLETE with no medical issues and on no prescription medication. Sorry, Dr ATTIA needs to be held to account fir endorsing a medical treatment HE K EW NOTHING ABOUT.
