Dr. Peter Attia

You see these people that are in their 90s that have been married for 70 years, and you hear them talking about each other like they can't imagine living without each other, and you think, really? I mean... He's that special? She's that special. But now I get it. Now I get it. Now I understand, you know?

And my wife will tease me all the time and she'll say, you know, she'll say, oh, you sure you don't want like some young, hot 20-year-old wife? And I'm like, absolutely not. You know, because it's, I think once you get to a certain point and you've been through enough tough stuff together, you really understand what it's about. How'd you guys meet? We met at Hopkins.

We met two days after 9-11, actually, because we were still kind of in lockdown in the hospital. At the time, it wasn't clear what the damage was and how, like, would we still need to be on standby for bodies? And of course, it turned out that that wasn't the case at all. Interesting. Wow, so did you treat a lot of those victims? No, no, that's the point.

Like, nothing came up from the Pentagon, nothing came down from New York. I mean, people were incinerated. There was nothing to treat. Jeez, jeez.

Well, when I wanted to leave medicine, I wanted to get as far away from medicine as possible. And I wanted to go and get an MBA. But I was in so much debt that the thought of more debt to go to business school for two years was not very appealing. I met somebody actually when I was on call one night in the ER, another resident. And they told me about this place called McKinsey.

So I learned about it. It sounded like a great place where basically you get paid and you get to learn all the stuff you would learn through an MBA. And so that's what I did. And so I ended up out on the West Coast and working on math problems again, but in the financial banking section.

Eventually, yep. How did that happen? Initially, just through my own kind of interest in trying to figure out my own health.
