Dr. Peter Attia's 2016 email reveals 'JE withdrawal' amid Epstein ties
A newly revealed email from 2016 shows Dr. Peter Attia, a well-known expert in longevity and anti-ageing, describing feelings of 'JE withdrawal' when not seeing Jeffrey Epstein. The message has emerged amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein's associates. Attia, however, remains a respected figure in health sciences with no public shift in his professional standing.
Dr. Peter Attia built his reputation through research on extending human lifespan and improving quality of life in later years. He founded Outlive and Early Medical, two ventures focused on longevity, and hosts The Peter Attia Drive podcast. His work gained wider attention after a 60 Minutes feature in October 2022, where he discussed strategies for healthy ageing.
The 2016 email, uncovered in recently released documents, reveals Attia's continued contact with Epstein even after the financier faced serious criminal charges. In the message, Attia wrote about missing Epstein's company, using the term 'JE withdrawal.' Despite this, no available sources link Attia to the broader Epstein scandal or suggest any wrongdoing on his part.
Just days before the latest Epstein files were made public, CBS News announced Attia as a contributor. The timing has drawn attention, but his professional role in health and longevity science has not been publicly affected.
The email adds Attia's name to the list of individuals connected to Epstein, yet no further ties have been established. His career in longevity research and media contributions continues without visible disruption. The documents themselves do not provide evidence of deeper involvement or changes in public perception of his work.
