以长寿研究闻名的医生兼作家彼得·阿提亚，因与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的邮件往来被曝光而道歉。这些邮件被他称为”令人尴尬、不合时宜且不可原谅”，是在司法部最新公布的与爱泼斯坦案相关文件中出现的。
他未被指控有刑事不当行为，但阿提亚的名字在司法部公布的文件中出现了数百次，且他与爱泼斯坦的交流比之前所知更为广泛。
阿提亚最近被任命为CBS新闻的撰稿人。CBS的母公司派拉蒙斯凯丹斯（Paramount Skydance）未予置评。
其中部分邮件显示，2016年阿提亚曾致信爱泼斯坦：” Pussy（ Pussy此处为俚语，指女性生殖器）确实是低碳水的。不过还在等待关于麸质含量的结果。“
在相关新闻报道后，阿提亚在社交平台X（原推特）上发布了一篇长篇道歉声明，解释了他与爱泼斯坦的关系。他否认参与任何犯罪活动，称从未乘坐过爱泼斯坦的飞机，从未访问过他的岛屿，也从未参加过”任何性派对”。
阿提亚与爱泼斯坦的最后一次通信似乎发生在2019年春季，恰在爱泼斯坦7月被捕及8月10日死亡前。
他表示，后悔”让自己处于这些邮件（部分令人尴尬、不合时宜且不可原谅）被公开的境地”，并补充道：”我接受这个现实以及随之而来的耻辱。”
阿提亚在声明中称，2014年至2019年间，他”大约有七八次在爱泼斯坦位于纽约的家中会面”，并表示会面目的是”讨论研究项目和认识其他人”。
周五公布的文件中包含一段2015年的交流，阿提亚写了一条被司法部编辑过的备注，主题为”收到一批新货”。爱泼斯坦回复”我也是”，并附上一张同样被编辑过的照片。阿提亚回复：”请告诉我你是在网上找到那张照片的……混蛋。“
爱泼斯坦回复：”恐怕不是。”
阿提亚回信道：”和你成为朋友的最大问题是，’你过的生活如此离谱，而我却不能告诉任何人。’”
阿提亚在社交媒体帖子中声称，”新货”指的是一张经过编辑的二甲双胍（metformin）照片，”我刚从药房为自己拿到的药”。（阿提亚曾因抗衰老目的服用该药，但称2018年因运动时出现不良反应而停药。）
阿提亚称，爱泼斯坦的”我也是”回复中包含”一名成年女性的照片”。
“我用粗俗、不合时宜的玩笑回应。现在读这段对话非常尴尬，我不会为它辩解。我为这一切感到羞耻。”阿提亚表示，”当时我认为这段对话是幼稚的，并非指任何黑暗或有害的事情。”
爱泼斯坦当时因佛罗里达州的性犯罪案件有前科，2008年他接受了认罪协议以避免联邦指控。2019年，他因联邦性交易指控被捕，同年8月在监狱牢房中死亡，被裁定为自杀。
阿提亚称，他曾就爱泼斯坦2008年佛罗里达州定罪向其询问，爱泼斯坦”称这是与卖淫相关的指控”。
“2018年，我开始了解到这一情况被严重淡化了，”阿提亚表示，但他同时坚持称，”我从未目睹过非法行为，也从未在他身边见过任何看起来未成年的人。”
阿提亚是Outlive应用程序的创始人，该应用将长寿科学转化为个性化日常实践；同时也是Early Medical医疗诊所的创始人，该诊所旨在帮助患者延长健康寿命。他还是播客《彼得·阿提亚驱动》（The Peter Attia Drive）的主持人，以及《Outlive：长寿的科学与艺术》（Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity）一书的作者。

Dr. Peter Attia, longevity expert, apologizes for “indefensible” emails to Jeffrey Epstein
February 2, 2026 / 6:39 PM EST / CBS News
Peter Attia, a doctor and author well known for his research on longevity, is apologizing for what he calls “embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible” emails he exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein, after the messages came to light in the Justice Department’s latest release of files related to the Epstein case.
He has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing. But Attia’s name appears in the records released by the Justice Department hundreds of times and his communications with Epstein are more extensive than previously known.
Attia was recently named as a contributor to CBS News. CBS’ parent company, Paramount Skydance, had no comment.
Among the messages, in 2016, Attia wrote to Epstein, “P***y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten content, though.”
After news reports about the emails, Attia posted on X a long apology and account of his relationship with Epstein. He denied any involvement in criminal activity, said he never flew on Epstein’s plane, never visited his island and never attended “any sex parties.”
The last correspondence between Attia and Epstein appears to have occurred in the spring of 2019, shortly before Epstein’s arrest in July and death on Aug. 10.
He said he regretted “putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public,” and went on to say, “I accept that reality and the humiliation that comes with it.”
Attia said in his post that between 2014 and 2019, he met with Epstein “on approximately seven or eight occasions at his New York City home.” He said they met “regarding research studies and to meet others.”

Included in the documents released Friday was an exchange from 2015 in which Attia had written a note — redacted by the Justice Department — that bore the subject line, “Got a fresh shipment.” Epstein responded, “me too,” with a photo that was also redacted. Attia responded, “Please tell (me) you found that picture on line … bastard.”
“fraid not,” Epstein said.
Attia wrote back that “the biggest problem with becoming friends with you” is that “[t]he life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul.”
Attia claimed in his social media post that the “fresh shipment” referred to a redacted photograph of metformin, “a medication I had just received from the pharmacy for my own use.” (Attia used to take the drug for anti-aging reasons but said he stopped in 2018 because it had negative effects around exercise.)
Epstein’s “me too” response included “a photograph of an adult woman,” Attia said.
“I responded with crude, tasteless banter. Reading that exchange now is very embarrassing, and I will not defend it. I’m ashamed of myself for everything about this,” Attia said. “At the time, I understood this exchange as juvenile, not a reference to anything dark or harmful.”
Epstein at that point had a record as a sex offender from a case in Florida where he’d accepted a 2008 plea deal to avoid federal charges. In 2019, he was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. His death in his jail cell in August 2019 was ruled a suicide.
Attia said he asked Epstein about his 2008 conviction in Florida and said Epstein “characterized it as prostitution-related charges.”
“In 2018, I came to learn this was grossly minimized,” Attia said. But he also maintained, “I never witnessed illegal behavior and never saw anyone who appeared underage in his presence.”
Attia is the founder of Outlive, an app that translates longevity science into personalized daily practice, and Early Medical, a medical practice that aims to help patients lengthen their healthy lifespan. He is the host of the podcast “The Peter Attia Drive” and author of “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.”
