Until recently, Peter Attia was best known as a wellness influencer and a newly appointed contributor at CBS. He hosts a popular podcast, boasts more than 1.6 million Instagram followers, and wrote a best-selling book about longevity. That image cracked this week when it was revealed that Attias name appears more than 1,700 times in the latest Epstein files release. As the emails circulated on social media, longtime followers of his methods, along with medical professionals, reacted with outrage. Peter Attia being Epstein’s concierge doctor is by far the weirdest crossover, one X user wrote. Another one X user quipped: Peter Attias stress level right now must be entirely undoing whatever longevity gains he has enjoyed.

The Peter Attia stuff is sad but not surprising, author Brad Stulberg posted on X. The entire health, performance, and longevity space is filled with narcissistic sociopathic grifters.

As his baby son lay in ICU, Peter Attia told his wife that he was too busy with important work in NYC to fly home to see him, one X user noted. He was with Jeffery Epstein.

In one message dated June 24, 2015, Attia wrote: You the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I cant tell a soul In perhaps the most gratuitous email, Attia joked about the carb content of performing a sexual act. In July 2016, Attia asked Epstein what he was doing in Palm Beach, where Epstein allegedly sexually abused underage girls during the 2000s. Guess, Epstein replied. Attia answered: Besides that. Attias regular correspondence with Epstein continued years after Epstein pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. In a lengthy X post addressing the emails on Monday, Attia said he questioned Epstein about those charges and claimed Epstein grossly minimized them. Attia has since stepped down as chief science officer of David Protein, the company confirmed Monday. CBS editor in chief Bari Weiss has also faced public calls to cut ties after Attia was named among 19 new CBS News contributors just days before the emails were made public. Attia said on X that he never witnessed illegal behavior and never saw anyone who appeared underage in Epsteins presence. He added that he was never on his plane, never on his island, and never present at any sex parties. The following email is what I sent my team last night. I sent a similar version to my patients, also. ***Youve put your trust, your credibility, and your hard work into what we have built together, and I take that responsibility seriously. You deserve a complete and honest— Peter Attia (@PeterAttiaMD) February 2, 2026 Other released emails show Attia saying that he goes into JE withdrawal when I dont see him and suggesting that he hoped to one day go to Epsteins private island. I need to visit some time, Attia wrote.

Want more housing market stories from Lance Lamberts ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. During the Pandemic Housing Boom, housing demand surged rapidly amid ultralow interest rates, stimulus, and the remote work boom. Federal Reserve researchers estimate new construction would have had to increase by roughly 300% to absorb the pandemic-era surge in demand. Unlike housing demand, housing stock isnt as elastic and can’t quickly ramp up. As a result, the heightened demand drained the market of active inventory and caused home prices to overheat, with U.S. home prices in June 2022 sitting a staggering 43.2% above March 2020 levels. Since that national boom ended in mid-2022, the housing market has been moving through a cyclical cooling phase and undergoing a period of recalibration and normalization after such a large burst. Look no further than the share of U.S. homes that sold below their original list price, by year, according to a new Redfin report: 2018 > 62% 2019 > 64% 2020 > 55% 2021 > 38% 2022 > 42% 2023 > 54% 2024 > 58% 2025 > 62% The share of homes selling below their original list price varies by region. Many Sun Belt pandemic-boom marketsparticularly across Florida and Texasare seeing the highest prevalence of homes selling below their initial ask. By contrast, many Northeast and Midwest metros remain, relatively speaking, more resilient, with fewer than half of homes selling below list in several markets. Parts of San Francisco and San Jose have regained a bit of mojo amid the AI boom. window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}); Some sellers are recognizing the market has changed and others are not . . . I have one seller who overpaid for their home a few years ago and wants to list it at $950,000. The problem is recent comps call for a list price of $825,000,” writes Connie Durnal, a Redfin Premier real estate agent in Dallas. “I have another seller who paid $400,000 for their home but was willing to list it at $385,000, which was a great strategy. Because the home was fairly priced, it got multiple offers and sold for $10,000 over the asking price. Redfins analysis is based on annual MLS data comparing original list prices with final sale prices. The firm didnt publish data for every metro.

These are tough times for many businesses across corporate America, many of whom are cutting down on business travel, and perks on the road. And in these times, one company’s policy on business travel is going viral: According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, Cracker Barrel employees reportedly must follow a new policy that they can only eat at Cracker Barrel restaurants while traveling for work. But according to Cracker Barrel, that’s not exactly true. “The policy for employees to dine at Cracker Barrel while traveling for business, whenever practical based on location and schedule, is not new,” Cracker Barrel explained to Fast Company in an email statement. “Also, it is not the only place that our employees may eat when on the road, as previously reported. The change was to further limit reimbursement of alcoholic beverages under the policy.” Still, backlash to the reported policy comes during a rough patch for the American restaurant chain known for its Southern charm, marked by declining sales, and more customer backlash over a recent botched attempt to rebrand. In August, Cracker Barrel unveiled a new campaign starring country music artist Jordan Davis that revamped its “Old Timer” logo and menus, and lightened up the restaurant’s dining rooms, to the dismay of longtime customers. (The reaction can be summed up by one TikTok user who posted, I prefer the darker cozier look, I also dont like change.”) The company was soon forced to walk back the plans, and later said it wouldn’t change the logo. Cracker Barrel financials Shares of Cracker Barrel (NASDAQ: CBRL) were down less than 1% in midday trading on Tuesday at the time of this writing. The Tennessee-based chain’s first quarter fiscal 2026 earnings missed expectations, with total revenue at $797.2 million, down 5.7% compared to the prior year first quarter; same-store restaurant sales down 4.7% over the prior year quarter, and comparable store retail sales down 8.5%.
