Welcome to the mindbodygreen podcast! Each week, host Jason Wachob, founder and co-CEO of mindbodygreen, engages in open, honest conversations with the people shaping the world of well-being. Today’s featured guest is Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford, John Hopkins, and NIH-trained physician.

Note: There is a small typo in Peter's title at 00:51. It should read: Peter Attia, M.D.
