"The founder of David Protein, maker of popular high-protein nutrition bars, announced on X on Monday that longevity guru Dr. Peter Attia "has stepped down from his role as Chief Science Officer at David." The announcement comes after Attia's name appeared in more than 1,700 documents, including email correspondence, released on Friday as part of a massive file dump related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to The New York Times."
"For those unfamiliar, Attia is a Canadian-American physician who has become one of the most prominent voices in longevity and preventive health. He's best known for his bestselling book "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity" and his now seven-year-old podcast, wherein he explores optimization strategies. He was also hired just last month as a contributor to CBS."
"In a lengthy post on X, Attia wrote that he was "ashamed" of some of the crude content in his emails with Epstein, but he also said he was not involved in criminal activity and never visited Epstein's island or traveled on his plane. Attia also discussed at length how he came to know Epstein and why he stayed involved with him even after Epstein's 2008 conviction."
Dr. Peter Attia stepped down as Chief Science Officer at David Protein after his name appeared in more than 1,700 documents tied to a Jeffrey Epstein file release. Attia served as an early investor and executive team member at the New York-based startup. David Protein raised a $75 million Series A and launched a 28-gram-protein, zero-sugar, 150-calorie bar in September 2024. Attia wrote on X that he was ashamed of crude email content but denied involvement in criminal activity and said he never visited Epstein's island or traveled on his plane. Biograph may be distancing itself.
