Radiation

Dr. Peter Attia and Andrew Huberman discuss the importance of being aware of radiation exposure, especially from medical scans. Dr. Attia emphasizes the need for asking about the radiation dose (measured in milliseverts) before undergoing any scan and suggests opting for facilities that use modern equipment for lower radiation exposure. He also notes that while radiation exposure is necessary for certain medical conditions, it should be minimized whenever possible. MRI scans are preferred in many situations because they do not involve radiation 1.
