关于Peter Attia,分享一下这个

最近Peter Attia被爆和Epstein 有深交，他忙着在网上解释。其实，在这事公开之前，有独立思考能力的人早已对他有批评与反驳。

这里分享一篇浓缩的小文。里面提到他鼓吹的抓握力。

总之一句话，提高独立思维能力，不被所谓网红专家带偏和迷惑。

By Elizabeth Davies:

 

Let's be honest.

There were red flags around Peter Attia long before his name started appearing in the Epstein Files...

 

Red flag #1: Borrowed Authority

When someone is widely presented - and presents themselves - as a leading medical authority, it's reasonable to ask:

• ??Expert in what?
• ??Trained how?
• ??Accountable to whom?

 

One might say that the authority granted to Peter Attia exceeds the training and scope he actually has - a pattern that shows up repeatedly in the longevity/wellness space.

 

Red flag #2: Elitism

Alongevity model that costs six figures a year to access is not a public health solution. It's a concierge service for the ultra-wealthy - and it should be recognised as such.

When longevity is framed as something you buy, it stops being about health and wellness and starts being about exclusion - and real world barriers to health get lost in the noise.

I'm far more interested in approaches that level things up for the many.

 

Red flag #3: Ignoring the Biggest Predictors of Health

Longevity culture obsesses over biomarkers and optimisation while quietly ignoring what shapes health most - poverty, access to healthcare, safe housing. When those are ignored, inequality gets reframed as personal failure.

 

Red flag #4: Straying Outside Your Scope

Another red flag meandering outside your scope of practice, and I see this commonly now with doctors drifting into strength training advice.

 

Peter Attia frequently highlights grip strength as a key longevity marker, promoting dead hangs and carries. In practice, this seems to have led many people to believe grip is something they should be directly training or worrying about.

Grip strength is a proxy, not a target.

It correlates with health and ageing outcomes because it reflects overall strength, muscle mass, and neurological health, not because grip itself is special.

 

When a proxy is treated as a prescription, people can end up training for numbers instead of building whole-body strength that actually improves function and resilience.

 

Always remember - a big following is not the same as expertise.

Popularity on social media - or the podcast circuit - does not equal knowledge or integrity.

We should all be thinking more critically about who we trust with our health.
