Summary

In Episode #59, I sat down with Dr Renae Thomas, MD, a physician working in Loma Linda, California, one of the ‘Blue Zone’ areas that display incredible longevity and high quality of life. This is a really important podcast; sometimes in nutritional science, we can become too reductionist and zoom in on potential mechanisms without appreciating the complexities of human beings. Observational data from people displaying longevity, happiness, and a high quality of life serve as a reminder that sometimes we need to zoom out and look to those who are living proof of what it means to be healthy.

It is not uncommon to have a patient come to my clinic. They're 92. Their chief complain

0:46.6

or reason for their visit to the clinic is they're there for their annual physical. Their

0:50.5

medical history is that they gave birth in Lomar into hospital 60 years ago. That's

0:54.5

the only time they've ever been hospitalized. There are no medications and their favorite

0:57.7

thing to do is hang out with their great-grandchildren and go to the gym. Knowing that 80, 90% of

1:03.5

all disease is related to lifestyle. That's huge. That means like if you think of your

1:08.2

whole life span, 90% of the times you're going to get sick are going to be eliminated.

1:13.6

I have so much control over my own health and future. I'm going to put in the effort. I'm

of being 90 and, you know, in good health. That's Dr. Renee Thomas and this is the proof
