Dr. Peter Attia and NuSI (Nutritions Science Initiative)
Since I put up my first post about NuSi (Nutrition Science Initiative), I’ve had various correspondence with co-founder Peter Attia, MD (co-founder with Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat) by phone and email.
