Anti-aging physician and newly named CBS News contributor Peter Attia swapped hundreds of chummy, eyebrow-raising emails with Jeffrey Epstein — including once joking that female genitals counted as a “low carb.”
The disturbing correspondence came to light just days after the celebrity doctor was named as one of the network’s 19 new contributors.
The emails were included in the trove of 3 million documents released by the Department of Justice Friday, as mandated by the “Epstein Files Transparency Act.” Attia is mentioned in the files 1,741 times, according to Variety.
In stomach-churning missives, the controversial anti-aging physician frequently asked after Epstein’s wellbeing and alluded to the convicted sex offender’s “outrageous” lifestyle.
“You [know] the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…” Attia wrote in one 2015 email — with the chilling subject line “Got a fresh shipment.”
A photo of the referenced “shipment” was redacted.
Attia, 52, renowned as a “longevity influencer” specializing on metabolic health, also cheekily offered his health advice to Epstein.
“P—y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten, though,” Attia wrote in one email from 2016, eight years after Epstein had been convicted in Florida of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.
In another email to Epstein’s longtime assistant and planner, Lesley Groff, Attia bemoaned that he would “go into JE withdrawal” if he didn’t see the depraved financier soon.
Attia was named a new on-air contributor for CBS News on Jan. 27, just three days before the new batch of files dropped. The network is in the midst of an extensive overhaul under its new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
Other prominent figures named in the newly released Epstein files include former UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, ex-Duke of York Prince Andrew, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Giants owner Steve Tisch — and, bizarrely, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mother.
Epstein committed suicide in his New York City jail cell in August 2019 while facing federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.
He is believed to have victimized hundreds of women and children.
