#413 ‒ The neuroscience of emotion: challenging conventional theories of emotion, how the brain predicts and constructs our experiences, and gaining greater control over how we feel | Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter sits down with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist, neuroscientist, author, and distinguished professor at Northeastern University whose research challenges many of the conventional assumptions about emotions and how the brain works. Lisa is best known for her theory of constructed emotion, which challenges the idea that emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness are hardwired responses with universal biological signatures. She begins by explaining how unexpected findings early in her research led her to question traditional theories of emotion. She discusses why studying individual variation, rather than relying on averages, is essential to understanding the brain. Lisa then explores the idea that the brain is fundamentally a predictive system rather than a reactive one. She explains how past experiences and memories shape what we perceive, feel, and do. She also describes how the brain continuously anticipates and regulates metabolism through a process called allostasis. The conversation then turns to the effects of chronic stress, uncertainty, and childhood adversity on physical and emotional health. Lisa explains how our relationships help regulate our nervous systems and why the loss of a loved one can have such a profound physiological impact. She also discusses how deliberate practice and new experiences can reshape the brain's predictions, potentially changing how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. Throughout the discussion, Peter and Lisa explore how this framework challenges traditional views of emotion and offers a greater sense of agency over our emotional lives. We discuss: How unexpected results in graduate school changed Lisa's understanding of emotion [3:30]; Why variation is the norm for emotion, and the danger in tracking averages instead of characterizing variation [15:30]; Lisa's experience with Hashimoto's disease and the value of modeling individual variation [30:00]; How Lisa's research challenges common views about emotions, and why there is no biomarker for emotions [40:00]; The difficulty of defining emotions and the brain's role in regulating the body [49:15]; Consciousness, interoception, and the limits of subjective experience [54:00]; Defining emotion: fear and anger [1:00:15]; The brain as a predictive system rather than a reactive one [1:13:15]; Baseball as an example of the brain's predictive nature [1:31:00]; How the human brain differs from that of other animals [1:44:00]; The impact of stress on metabolism, and the role of the brain in maintaining allostasis [1:49:45]; Childhood adversity, social regulation of the nervous system, and the effect of chronic stress [1:56:45]; Understanding chronic stress: why some people respond differently, and its impact on metabolism [2:02:15]; How practicing new predictions can change thoughts and feelings [2:10:15]; Lisa's practice of finding awe in everyday experiences and the greater sense of agency it brings [2:13:30]; The impact of grief on nervous system regulation and the metabolic "body budget," as well as practices that reduce sadness [2:22:15]; The connection between memories and predictions, and Peter's closing thoughts [2:29:45]; and More.

#412 ‒ The evolving science of cancer: emerging approaches to prevention and early detection, and the advances reshaping treatment | Siddhartha Mukherjee, M.D., Ph.D.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter welcomes back Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, a physician, oncologist, researcher, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies. Fifteen years after the book was first published, Sid released an updated edition. This conversation examines what has changed in our understanding of cancer—not only in how we treat it, but in how we think about its causes, prevention, detection, and biology. Sid explores the contributions of genetics, environmental exposures, random mutations, and inflammation to cancer risk, including the emerging role of hyperinsulinemia and metabolism. He discusses why detecting cancer early remains so difficult, particularly in pancreatic cancer, and how advances in immunotherapy, CAR T cell therapy, and targeted treatments such as KRAS inhibitors are changing the treatment landscape. The conversation then broadens beyond cancer to what Sid calls "regenerative failure"—the declining ability of tissues to repair and replenish themselves with age. Peter and Sid explore how this process may contribute to conditions such as osteoarthritis, and whether longevity should be approached less as the prevention of individual diseases and more as the preservation of regenerative capacity. Sid weighs in on the potential for chemoprevention, metabolic interventions, and AI to transform cancer prevention and treatment. Finally, they discuss what it would take to develop meaningful biomarkers of longevity that could ultimately help to extend human healthspan and lifespan. We discuss: What oncology has learned in the 15 years since The Emperor of All Maladies was published [2:45]; The contributions of genetic risk, bad luck, and inflammation to cancer [14:45]; The role of metabolism and hyperinsulinemia in cancer [31:00]; Osteoarthritis: the role of inflammation and regenerative stem cells [40:45]; How cancer escapes the immune system—the subtleties of neoantigens and immune checkpoints [49:45]; AI and the thymus as a predictor of longevity, and T cell aging and immune regeneration [57:15]; How CAR T cell therapy works and why solid tumors are harder to treat [1:04:00]; Targeting KRAS in pancreatic cancer [1:10:45]; The rise of colorectal cancer in younger adults [1:19:15]; How AI may transform drug discovery [1:23:00]; The future of cancer prevention: chemoprevention [1:33:15]; Challenging the current model of longevity—disease prevention versus targeting regenerative failure [1:37:45]; The need for a biomarker of longevity—comparing geroscience to atherosclerosis [1:50:30]; Clinical trials targeting cancer metabolism [1:56:00]; What Sid is currently writing about and a glimpse into his writing process [1:58:00]; and More.

#411 ‒ AMA #90: Strong convictions, loosely held: how Peter's views on fasting, keto, metformin, rapamycin, whole-body MRI, and exercise have changed
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter looks back on 400 episodes of The Drive with another installment of "strong convictions, loosely held," revisiting some of the positions he has taken over more than eight years of the podcast. He explains why changing one's mind in response to new evidence, conversations with experts, and clinical experience is essential for practicing medicine well. Peter begins with nutrition, describing how his views on ketogenic diets, extended fasting, and the framework of dietary restriction, time restriction, and calorie restriction have evolved. He explains why he no longer takes metformin for longevity and discusses his growing uncertainty around rapamycin despite compelling animal data. Peter also revisits his views on cancer screening, including whole-body MRI and liquid biopsies for early detection. On exercise, Peter explains how his approach to cardiorespiratory training and the 80/20 Zone 2 framework has changed, particularly for people with limited time to train. He also shares why he has moved away from heavy barbell squats and deadlifts and how he now thinks about balancing benefit and injury risk. Throughout the episode, Peter emphasizes the importance of focusing on durable principles, strong foundations, and sustainable practices rather than chasing optimizations that provide marginal gains. If you're not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA.

#410 ‒ The biology of pregnancy: physiologic adaptation, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, childbirth, and long-term maternal health | Kathryn Gray, M.D., Ph.D.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter sits down with Dr. Kathryn (Katie) Gray, a physician-scientist, high-risk obstetrician, and maternal-fetal medicine specialist at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Katie begins by explaining the remarkable physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy and how the cardiovascular, metabolic, and hormonal systems adapt to support both mother and developing fetus. From there, the conversation turns to some of the most important complications that can arise. Katie explains how gestational diabetes is screened for and treated, and what a diagnosis may mean for the long-term health of both mother and child. She then walks through the biology of preeclampsia, including who is at risk and how the condition is managed. She also discusses HELLP syndrome and postpartum depression. Peter and Katie explore the realities of labor and delivery, including breech presentation, the role of midwives, and the trade-offs between vaginal and cesarean delivery. The conversation also covers stillbirth and the growing role of cell-free DNA in prenatal genetic screening. Other topics include prenatal nutrition and folate, breastfeeding, and exercise during pregnancy. Throughout the episode, Peter and Katie return to a larger question: What can pregnancy reveal about a woman's long-term health? They discuss how complications during pregnancy can provide important clues about future health risks. Finally, Katie highlights some of the major questions that remain unanswered in maternal health and why greater investment in research is needed to improve outcomes for mothers and their children.

#409 ‒ Inside modern drug development: the science, economics, and regulatory hurdles behind bringing new medicines to patients | Lloyd Klickstein, M.D., Ph.D.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Lloyd B. Klickstein is a physician-scientist who has spent more than 20 years at the intersection of drug discovery, healthy aging, and preventive medicine. Drawing on his experience in academic medicine, translational research, and biotechnology, Lloyd walks through the full arc of modern drug development. He explains how scientists identify an unmet medical need and decide which diseases and therapeutic targets are worth pursuing. From there, he takes us through the process of engineering a drug, testing it in animals, and navigating clinical trials and regulatory approval. Using bimagrumab as a case study, Lloyd explains the rationale for targeting myostatin and activin signaling to increase muscle mass and strength and describes how the antibody was engineered and screened. He then walks through what was learned from early clinical trials. Unexpected effects on fat mass and type 2 diabetes helped reshape bimagrumab's development as a potential treatment for obesity, including its use in combination with semaglutide. Along the way, Peter and Lloyd explore the differences among drug modalities, including biologics and small-molecule therapeutics. They discuss the roles of patents and capital allocation in drug development, along with the requirements for IND submission and GMP manufacturing. They also examine why developing a new drug takes so long and costs so much, and why identifying failures early is critical. At the end of the episode, the conversation turns to mTOR inhibition and geroprotection, as well as Lloyd's current work on a novel pharmacologic approach to cancer prevention. This episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how new medicines are actually created and the scientific, regulatory, and economic decisions that determine which ideas ultimately make it to patients. We discuss: Lloyd's path from academic medicine to translational drug development [3:15]; Drug modalities, patents, and the economics of innovation [11:30]; Choosing sarcopenia as a target for drug development, and confronting the problem of measuring falls [23:00]; The rationale for bimagrumab: improving muscle mass and strength by targeting myostatin and activin signaling (and why follistatin failed) [36:45]; Engineering and screening the bimagrumab antibody, and the cost of developing a new drug [43:45]; From candidate antibodies to animal proof of concept (impressive muscle hypertrophy) [54:15]; Toxicology, capital allocation, and the path to an IND [1:02:45]; IND requirements, GMP manufacturing, and gray market peptides [1:14:45]; First in-human study design, patient selection, and protection of healthy volunteers [1:22:00]; Phase 1 dosing, pharmacodynamics, and global trial strategy [1:33:45]; Phase 2 lessons on muscle mass, function, and nutrition [1:43:30]; Bimagrumab's effects on fat mass and type 2 diabetes [1:50:45]; The BELIEVE trial of bimagrumab plus semaglutide [1:59:30]; Selective mTORC1 inhibition and the challenge of testing geroprotection [2:11:45]; A new pharmacologic approach to cancer prevention [2:15:45]; and More.

#408 ‒ AMA #89: Thyroid health: interpreting symptoms, diagnosing and treating dysfunction, and navigating the gray zone
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter takes a deep dive into thyroid health and explains why diagnosing and managing thyroid dysfunction is unusually complex. He begins with the basic biology of the thyroid gland and three commonly measured hormones—free T4, free T3, and TSH. He explains how T4 is converted to the active hormone T3 and the important functions T3 performs throughout the body. He also explains what reverse T3 is and when it may be useful to measure it. Peter then breaks down thyroid blood tests and their limitations and provides a practical framework for evaluating suspected thyroid dysfunction. He explains why symptoms alone are insufficient for diagnosis and reviews the criteria for diagnosing hypothyroidism, along with conditions that can mimic it. He also explores how hypothyroidism can be both underdiagnosed and overtreated and how to navigate subclinical hypothyroidism. Peter discusses treatment with T4 and T3, including why some patients continue to experience symptoms despite standard T4 replacement. He also explains how thyroid medications should be taken to optimize absorption. Additional topics include Hashimoto's disease, thyroid considerations during pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, the risks of excess iodine, and supplements marketed to support thyroid function. Finally, Peter offers guidance for patients who continue to feel unwell despite apparently normal thyroid tests. If you're not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA. If you're a subscriber, you can now listen to this full episode on your private RSS feed or our website at the AMA #89 show notes page.

#407 ‒ Preventing cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease: lowering LDL early, APOE4, and promising new therapies | Michael Davidson, M.D.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Michael Davidson is a world-renowned cardiologist, lipidologist, and the founding CEO of NewAmsterdam Pharma. He begins this episode by sharing how his family history shaped his interest in lipidology and primary prevention. He explains why prevention should focus on causal drivers of disease rather than near-term risk and examines the causal relationship between LDL and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Michael then traces the complicated history of CETP inhibitors—from the original rationale that raising HDL would reduce cardiovascular risk to the failures of torcetrapib, dalcetrapib, and evacetrapib—and explains how lessons from these trials ultimately led to the development of obicetrapib. He reviews the phase 2 and phase 3 trials of obicetrapib, its effects on LDL-C, apoB, LDL particle number, and Lp(a), the ongoing cardiovascular outcomes trial, and where the drug could fit alongside statins and other lipid-lowering therapies. Peter and Michael discuss the relationship between statins and diabetes risk, then turn to the potential role of obicetrapib in Alzheimer's disease prevention, exploring the genetics of APOE4 and CETP, cholesterol metabolism within the brain, and emerging biomarker data. Finally, Peter and Michael explore the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and the challenge of delivering DHA to the brain, as well as ongoing work on klotho in preparation for clinical trials. They discuss the potential for AI to transform clinical trials and the scientific and financial challenges of developing new therapies for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. We discuss: Michael's path to lipidology, and his passion for primary prevention [3:30]; Reframing prevention around causal drivers rather than time horizon [9:30]; What CETP inhibition does, the evolutionary biology of CETP, the HDL-raising rationale, and Pfizer's torcetrapib failure [15:00]; Why raising HDL is thought to be beneficial, a quick review of the functions of HDL, and how this connects to torcetrapib [24:00]; The graveyard of CETP inhibitors: Roche's dalcetrapib, Lilly's evacetrapib, and Merck's REVEAL trial [27:15]; The causality of LDL in cardiovascular disease [34:30]; Reviving obicetrapib at NewAmsterdam, and confirming the benefit is LDL lowering: the TULIP data, the abandoned statin-intolerance path, and the Mendelian randomization verdict on HDL [37:30]; Phase 2 and phase 3 trials of obicetrapib—ROSE, BROOKLYN, BROADWAY, and TANDEM—and the PREVAIL outcomes trial, with the European and US approval paths [44:45]; Discordance among LDL-C, LDL-P, and apoB with CETP inhibition, and obicetrapib's Lp(a)-lowering effect [50:30]; Where obicetrapib fits in the lipid-lowering toolkit, the case against high-dose statins, and the problem of drug pricing [57:30]; The case for obicetrapib in Alzheimer's: the APOE4 and CETP genetics, the animal models, and funding Alzheimer's research [1:03:45]; Brain cholesterol metabolism and the APOE4 mechanism: the blood-brain barrier, astrocyte cholesterol efflux, the amyloid-tau cascade, the role of HDL, and why statins don't cause Alzheimer's disease [1:08:00]; The biomarker evidence: the CSF pilot study, Alzheimer's as a disease of middle age, the pharma graveyard problem, and the p-tau 217 results from BROADWAY [1:17:45]; Whether obicetrapib translates into clinical benefit for Alzheimer's disease: the risk of fooling yourself, the persistence of the amyloid dogma, ARIA in APOE4 homozygotes, and the next prevention trial [1:28:00]; Fish oil, EPA, and DHA: the cardiovascular trials and the challenge of delivering DHA to the brain [1:32:00]; Two open problems: using AI to reform clinical trials, and the statin–diabetes signal [1:41:15]; What it takes to develop a drug, the biotech investment landscape, and the klotho program [1:48:15]; Closing reflections: what to do if you carry APOE4, balancing motivation against over-testing, and the need for multiple therapies [1:55:15]; and More.
