Background

Peter Attia, M.D., is an American physician specializing in longevity medicine. He operates Attia Medical, PC, and is known publicly as the author of the bestselling book 'Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity' and as the host of the podcast 'The Peter Attia Drive.' Multiple documents in the Epstein file releases identify him with the professional designation 'Peter Attia, M.D. | Attia Medical, PC' in email signatures.

Attia's name appears in a substantial number of documents from the DOJ Epstein file releases, primarily consisting of email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein (via [email protected]), scheduling communications with Epstein's assistants Lesley Groff and Mary Stephens, and references in Epstein's appointment calendars. The documents span from at least mid-2015 through mid-2018 and reflect a pattern of regular contact, in-person visits at Epstein's New York residence, and a personal rapport that extended beyond strictly professional medical interactions.

Attia has publicly stated that he met Epstein in 2014 while fundraising for scientific research and visited Epstein's New York home on approximately seven or eight occasions between 2014 and 2019. He has acknowledged that some of his email exchanges were 'embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible' and stepped down from the company David Protein following the revelations. He has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.
