Dr. Peter Attia, a prominent longevity researcher, finds himself in a world of trouble after newly-released emails reveal he prioritized a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein over his own family during a health crisis. While his wife Jill and infant son were in the ICU, Attia engaged in a back-and-forth email exchange with Epstein about solidifying their meeting plans. Talk about a major miscalculation in priorities!
In his lengthy apology, Attia expressed regret, admitting his emails were embarrassing and tasteless. He denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities, stating he met him while raising funds for scientific research. Yet the timing, just before his family faced a serious health scare, raises eyebrows and leaves many wondering how he could make such a decision.
Attia’s previous acknowledgment of the emotional call he received from his wife during this period adds another layer to this story. He noted he remained focused on“important work”in New York for 10 days, illustrating just how disconnected he felt from his responsibilities at home. As he tries to distance himself from Epstein’s legacy, many are asking: when it comes to family vs. career, what would you do?
