Summary

What if you could add 10 extra healthy years to your life — without extreme dieting or intense workouts? This week, we’re diving into the Blue Zone Diet & Lifestyle with the man behind it all, Dan Buettner. A National Geographic Explorer, multiple New York Times Bestselling Author, and creator of Netflix’s Emmy-winning series “Live to 100”, Dan has spent decades studying the world’s longest-living populations to uncover what truly fuels longevity. In this episode, Dan breaks down the daily habits, diet, and lifestyle choices that make Blue Zone residents some of the healthiest people on the planet. From eating 95% plant-based, incorporating a daily dose of beans, and cutting back on meat, sugar, and processed foods, to the importance of stress-reducing rituals, strong social connections, and an environment that supports healthy living, he reveals how small, sustainable changes can make a massive impact on your well-being. Plus, we discuss the biggest diet myths, why the standard American diet is failing us, and how to make longevity effortless. danbuettner.com The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons From the Healthiest Places on Earth by Dan Buettner The Blue Zones Kitchen One Pot Meals: 100 Recipes to Live to 100 by Dan Buettner The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100 by Dan Buettner Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zone (Netflix Series) bluezones.com bluezoneskitchen.com A Sony Music Entertainment production.
