Popular low-carb diet advocate Peter Attia has been named in the Epstein files, with evidence of a friendly relationship with the deceased sex offender. Attia, who describes himself as a medical doctor focusing on longevity science, has faced criticism from scientists and medical professionals for his high-priced longevity advice, lack of nuance in research interpretation, and ties to unscientific companies. The Epstein files reveal email exchanges between Attia and Epstein, showing a close relationship between the two.

Attia was recently hired as a CBS News contributor, along with other conservative commentators and health influencers, despite their promotion of harmful and unconventional health advice. These influencers, including Andrew Huberman and Mark Hyman, have been accused of spreading health misinformation and profiting from selling products and diet plans. The Epstein files shed light on the questionable relationships and practices of these influencers in the health and wellness industry.
