Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”
Can strong relationships and a sense of purpose help us live healthier, longer lives? Rich Santelises, Director of Brand Alliances and Strategic Partnerships at ZEO ScientifiX, joins Alex Norman and Jamie Blond to explore why longevity involves more than medical treatments, supplements, and emerging technology. Rich shares his journey from helping launch Ocean Drive magazine and shaping Miami's cultural scene to working with Healthy Longevity Clinic and ZEO ScientifiX. The conversation examines personalized health, biomarkers, healthspan versus lifespan, the Blue Zones framework, and the growing interest in regenerative medicine. But the heart of the episode is Rich's belief that “community is immunity.” The hosts discuss loneliness, purpose, retirement, shared meals, positive relationships, and why the kitchen table may be one of our most important social networks. Rich also explains his “Longevity Is Culture” series and an event with chef Todd English that connected healthy food with the experience of eating together. The episode concludes by asking whether Miami is becoming America's longevity capital and how the industry can remain accessible as health and wellness increasingly intersect with luxury.

Zijn we zelf verantwoordelijk voor onze gezondheid, of leven we in een omgeving die ons ziek maakt? Hoe ziet de toekomst eruit als we blijven leven op snelle suikers, weinig slaap en constante stress? En hoe word je opnieuw de beste versie van jezelf in een wereld vol verleidingen? In deze aflevering schuift Siebe Hannosset aan tafel. Hij is coach, ondernemer en auteur van het boek Intermittent Living. Tien jaar lang was hij chronisch ziek, ziekte van Lyme, reumatoïde artritis en ander auto-immuunaandoeningen. De klassieke geneeskunde kon hem niet helpen. Drie maanden na het toepassen van de principes van intermittent living was hij genezen. Vandaag helpt hij ondernemers, topsporters en drukbezette ouders om opnieuw controle te nemen over hun lichaam en energie. Siebe merkt heel wat welvaartsziekten in deze ‘moderne' samenleving, waarin onder andere één op twee Vlamingen overgewicht heeft. Daarom pleit hij voor wat meer discipline. Er gelden ook andere regels voor mannen en vrouwen, vooral rond vasten, koude en stress. Gezondheid is nooit vanzelfsprekend geweest, ga er dus bewust mee aan de slag, al is het maar iets kleins.

Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
In the Blue Zones, the regions of the world where people consistently live past 100 in good health, researchers kept finding the same things. And one of the most consistent was communal eating. In this episode I draw on Dan Buettner's Blue Zones research to make the case that eating with other people is not just pleasant. It is protective. Shared meals slow us down, almost automatically. They improve digestion, reduce intake, and create a quality of connection at the table that is hard to replicate anywhere else. Vulnerable things get said. Laughter comes more easily. I share that we have dinner as a family every single night, not because it is always perfect, but because the ritual of it sends a signal that the people at this table matter enough to show up for. And I make the case for how simple the starting point actually is. Ready to go deeper?

Apple Pie Playground with Valerie Title: What is your divine child's ikigai? What gets you up in the morning? If it's your alarm clock, let's talk. What Is Your Divine Child's Ikigai? Sacred Geometry, Blue Zones, and Finding Your Reason for Being Valerie leads a solo hour on Apple Pie Playground exploring the Japanese concept of ikigai, tracing its sacred geometry and Okinawan Blue Zone roots before guiding listeners through a live four-column exercise to measure their own passion, purpose, mastery, and profession. Welcome To The Divine Playground Valerie opens Apple Pie Playground by welcoming listeners back to what she calls the place where divine children play under the Tree of Life. She explains the Kabbalah's structure of a mother principle, a father principle, and a child, describing the child as representing the emotional or astral body, the part of consciousness that carries emotion, imagination, and passion. She notes that the phrase get your head out of the clouds actually references that same astral nature of daydreaming and imagining. Valerie invites listeners to spend the hour indulging their inner child, dabbling in imaginings of a better world, and thanks BBS Radio for bringing everyone together on the playground. She frames understanding the divine inner child as more than nostalgia for childhood memories, setting up a discussion of how ancient spiritual traditions treated that inner spark as something sacred and worth deliberately awakening within the body. Gnostic Roots Of The Sacred Child Valerie turns to Gnostic practice, explaining that devotees worked to incarnate what they called the sacred child, or divine spark, into the physical body, a process meant to pull Christ consciousness into the vessel and awaken what she calls the inner sun within. She ties this to ideas from earlier shows about a universe and a central sun existing inside the human body. She says some call this receiving the Holy Spirit and others call it reconnecting with source consciousness, framing them as the same experience described differently. Valerie argues humanity has lost its essential connection to source through what she calls dark design, and that reconnecting is intentional, mission-critical work accomplished through daily devotions, rituals, and meditations. She recommends a YouTube and Spotify teacher named Morg, spelled M-O-R-G, praising his integration of Kabbalah, Gnosticism, biblical and Christian studies, and encouraging listeners to simply pick a video of his and get started. A Date In History Before turning to her planned topic, Valerie flags something from the news she feels went largely unnoticed: President Trump's speech at the United Nations this week, delivered on September 22nd. She recalls that the same date in history marked President Lincoln's preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, a stern warning that in 100 days the government would consider enslaved people in hostile Confederate states to be free. Valerie draws a parallel between Lincoln acting as commander-in-chief during wartime and Trump addressing the United Nations while presiding over a military she describes as in active combat, under what she says some call martial law. She wonders aloud whether the UN speech quietly drew a line in the sand for a liberated humanity, and whether a hundred days might bring freedoms not yet imaginable. She acknowledges she may be reaching, but urges listeners to consider world events through a more mystical or metaphorical lens. Introducing Ikigai And Sacred Geometry Valerie pivots to the day's chosen topic, ikigai, a Japanese concept she describes as more intricate and debated than she expected, essentially a debate about happiness. She explains that ikigai, or one's reason for being, is typically illustrated with a Venn diagram combining four questions: what is your passion, your purpose, your mastery or skill, and your profession or service. Answering these, she says, builds an internal sense of life's worth and self-realization. Valerie highlights that the Venn diagram takes the shape of a vesica piscis, which in sacred geometry is the foundation of the Flower of Life, a pattern she says animates the cosmos. She suggests that practicing ikigai connects a person to the same creation energies embedded in that geometry, linking a simple word for contentment to a much larger cosmic design, and promises to unpack what ikigai actually means and where it comes from next. Lessons From Okinawa's Blue Zone Valerie traces ikigai's roots to Okinawa, a so-called Blue Zone she says is home to a remarkable concentration of centenarians, and credits much of that longevity to daily ikigai practices. She describes hara hachi bu, eating until only about eighty percent full, along with constant gentle movement such as walking, bending, sitting on the ground for meals, and living by the rhythm of sunrise and sunset rather than the clock. She notes that traditional Okinawan culture has no real concept of retirement and that people tend medicinal gardens for home remedies. Valerie then explores Shintoism's concept of kami, the belief that all things carry divine spirit, which extends a person's reason for being toward serving community harmony, or wa, rather than the self alone. She describes moai, small childhood friend groups that stay close for life, as a fading but treasured practice, and closes with the Zen Buddhist view that everyday life itself is the greatest teacher. A Four-Column Ikigai Exercise With time running short, Valerie leads a simplified, live version of the ikigai Venn diagram, asking listeners to grab paper and draw three lines to make four columns labeled Passion, Purpose, Mastery, and Profession, filling each from the bottom up. For every column she poses three candid questions, such as how clear one's greatest passion is, how much of the week goes to others' demands, how easily a loved one could state one's life purpose, and how ready one feels to retire regardless of age, asking listeners to score each answer as a percentage. She explains that columns with stronger percentages at the bottom than the top suggest a life built on solid footing, while the reverse suggests a structure unlikely to stand. Valerie frames the exercise as a starting point for further reflection during the week ahead, then thanks BBS Radio and her listeners before the pre-recorded announcer closes the show and invites everyone back the following Sunday.
Send us Fan MailHi my dears! This week I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: how to strive to have a great and long life. These are the amazing folks in their 80s and beyond whose memory is as sharp as someone 20 or 30 years younger. I share what researchers at Northwestern University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and beyond have discovered about how super agers keep their brains young, and I break it down into three simple strategies you might try: challenge your brain, move your body, and get your rest. We talk about Type 2 fun (the kind that's miserable in the moment but amazing looking back), why learning to quilt might do more for your memory than easy puzzles, how walking can actually grow your brain's memory center, and why sleep is when your brain takes out the trash. And yes, I bring back the Blue Zones too!But first, I had to share my latest library jackpot: the Libby app! If you have a library card, you may have free access to hundreds of digital magazines, audiobooks, and e-books right from your tablet. I also share a little about my walks in the woods and by the bay, a story from my husband about why "it's not only about fun," and how a bedtime routine helped my kids sleep.

There are five places on Earth with the most 100-year-olds — Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, Nicoya, and Loma Linda, California. They're called Blue Zones, and this week we're breaking down what the people there actually do differently, from ikigai and moai to hara hachi bu, and whether the science behind Dan Buettner's famous longevity research really holds up.Then the uncomfortable question: can a city engineer its own Blue Zone? We look at Singapore, the Minnesota town that tried, and the five cities doing the exact opposite — including our own hometown at number one.Plus the destinations where you can sample the Blue Zone lifestyle yourself, from San Luis Obispo to Copenhagen.______If you're enjoying the show, hit follow right now — it takes two seconds and it's how we keep making it.

Detox teas, miracle powders, “anti-aging” stacks, endless biohacks. If you feel like health advice has turned into a shopping list, we made this one for you. This is a raw, unscripted From The Heart bonus conversation where we pull the camera back and focus on what actually moves the needle for chronic disease prevention and healthy aging.We walk through the six pillars of lifestyle medicine that account for the vast majority of disease risk: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and reducing harmful exposures like smoking, drugs, alcohol, and environmental pollutants. We also name the uncomfortable truth in the data, including how common lifestyle-related disease really is and why the goal is never shame. Genetics matter, life is complex, and still, intensive lifestyle change can meaningfully reduce risk and improve quality of life.Then we tackle the messiest topic online: diet. We explain why the scientific literature emphasizes dietary patterns, not single foods, and why a plant-predominant, whole-food approach keeps showing up across Mediterranean, DASH, portfolio, and other evidence-based eating patterns. We also draw a bright line between “plant-based” as marketing and whole food plant-based eating that centers fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. Finally, we connect the dots to Blue Zones and what they teach about purpose, recovery, community, and everyday movement.If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who's tired of the hype, and leave a review so more people can find practical, evidence-based lifestyle medicine.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules
What does healthy eating really look like—and how can we make it simple enough to actually stick with? In this episode, Dr. Emily breaks down the latest dietary guidance and connects it to what we can learn from the Blue Zones. She talks about prioritizing whole foods, especially plant-based foods, limiting ultra-processed foods, and choosing a flexible eating pattern that fits your life and culture. She also shares her simple "energized eating plan" — protein, veggies, and then the rest—and explains why protein is especially important for weight loss, perimenopause, and menopause. She discusses the importance of fiber, beans, fruits and vegetables, sugary drinks, artificial sweeteners, and why highly processed foods can keep us coming back for more. Most importantly, Dr. Emily reminds us that healthy eating doesn't have to be perfect. Whether it's adding a vegetable to every meal, eating more beans, preparing food ahead of time, reducing sugary drinks, or simply finding easier ways to get groceries, one simple step forward can make a big difference. The goal isn't the perfect diet—the goal is a sustainable plan you can actually live with. If this episode speaks to you, share it with people who may need this—and don't forget to leave a review so more people can find the podcast.

Garmin Health's Andy Beckman joins hosts Eric Malzone, Juliet Starrett, and Alex Alimanestianu for the quarterly roundtable, talking wearables and the Training Peaks acquisition before the group digs into a full quarter of fitness industry earnings. Andy Beckman explains what Garmin Health actually does, from employee wellness and insurance underwriting to military fatigue tracking and the pilot study that flagged COVID cases 48 hours before symptoms appeared. Juliet Starrett and Alex Alimanestianu then break down the numbers: Garmin posted a record quarter with revenue up 11% to $2 billion and its fitness segment growing 25% to $757 million, Lifetime grew revenue 13.7% to $866 million while deliberately shrinking its membership base toward higher-paying clients, and Peloton logged its first full year of net profitability even as subscriptions fell 9%. Xponential Fitness comes up as the quarter's cautionary tale, with a new leadership team and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio the hosts call unsustainable. The episode closes on Procter & Gamble's acquisition of supplement brand Thorn, New York City's new click-to-cancel law, and a widely shared article questioning the accuracy of Blue Zones longevity data. Andy Beckman leads Garmin Health, the division that connects Garmin's wearables to partners in corporate wellness, insurance, clinical research, and remote patient monitoring, after joining the company in 2008.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry unpack their biggest takeaways from Mega Camp and CEO Summit, covering everything from building a bigger vision for your future to using social media more intentionally, creating "tiny offers" that turn an audience into a database, and why being the best known can matter more than being the best. They also explore lessons from the Blue Zones about longevity, community, purpose and everyday habits before diving into the idea of becoming "fear fit"—recognizing that courage isn't about eliminating fear, but training yourself to take action despite it.
What if the secret to living longer wasn't a supplement or a new diet trend, but something Americans were already eating a hundred years ago? If you've ever wondered why some of the longest-living people on earth seem to skip the fads, the supplements, and the superfood powders entirely, this episode is your answer.Dan Buettner, the National Geographic Fellow who discovered the world's five Blue Zones, joins me again to unpack the forgotten American diet his team of researchers say could add 6 to 10 years to your life. We get into the five pillars every longevity diet shares, why a daily cup of beans matters more than you'd think, why your toaster might be working against you, and how the friends you keep shape your health more than you realize.

Healthcare has traditionally focused on treating problems after they arise. Keith Bozeman, the founder of MEDgevity, believes the model is shifting toward something more proactive: helping people understand, monitor, and improve their health before problems become more serious. In this episode, we sit down with Keith to explore the growing field of longevity medicine and the movement toward more personalized, data-driven healthcare. Founded from Keith's own experience as a patient, MEDgevity was created around the idea that people need more than a doctor they see when they're sick — they need a team helping them stay healthy in the first place… Hit play to learn about: How longevity medicine is changing the traditional healthcare model. The importance of preventive and proactive healthcare. Why personalized health requires more than a single medical perspective. The roles of physicians, registered dietitians, and exercise scientists. How diagnostics such as bloodwork, DEXA scans, and genetic testing can inform personalized care. As healthcare continues moving toward prevention, personalization, and continuous health management, the boundaries between medicine, fitness, nutrition, and wellness are becoming increasingly blurred. Keith is here to share his perspective on where this evolution is heading and what a more proactive approach to healthcare could look like. Connect with Keith: MEDgevity LinkedIn
What if we've been focusing on the wrong things when it comes to preventing heart disease? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Daniel Trevor, heart attack survivor, citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip. Daniel's interest in cardiovascular and metabolic health became deeply personal after suffering a heart attack despite believing he was doing the right things for his health. That experience sent him deep into the research surrounding cholesterol, insulin resistance, blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, nutrition, and cardiovascular disease. And this conversation challenges a LOT of conventional thinking! We explore whether cholesterol alone gives us an accurate picture of cardiovascular risk, why metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance deserve much more attention in the heart disease conversation, and which tests Daniel believes can provide a better picture of what's happening before a cardiovascular event occurs. We also get into statins, vegetable oils, low-fat diets, processed foods, obesity, prediabetes, and why our rates of metabolic disease have risen so dramatically. You don't have to agree with every perspective presented in this episode to benefit from asking better questions about your health. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to become more informed about your own metabolic health, understand your numbers, and have deeper conversations with your healthcare provider. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Daniel's own heart attack and why it completely changed the direction of his life Why he began questioning conventional thinking surrounding cholesterol and heart disease Is high cholesterol always an accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk? The relationship between insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, and heart disease Why prediabetes and insulin resistance can go undetected for years Which cardiovascular tests and markers Daniel believes deserve more attention The controversy surrounding statins and their relationship with blood sugar and type 2 diabetes What Daniel believes we've gotten wrong about vegetable oils and dietary fat Why he challenges conventional low-fat nutrition advice Processed foods, appetite, cravings, and our modern food environment What's really behind the dramatic rise in obesity and metabolic disease What the Blue Zones can—and can't—teach us about longevity Practical steps you can take to better understand your metabolic and cardiovascular health ABOUT DANIEL TREVOR Daniel Trevor is a citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, heart attack survivor, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip. Following his own heart attack, Daniel immersed himself in research surrounding cardiovascular disease and metabolic health. His book draws from more than 1,200 scientific references as he explores the relationships among our modern diet, insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Why the Ikigai Diagram Everyone Copies Left Out the One Thing That Actually Makes It Work Most entrepreneurs know Ikigai's 4 circles - but miss the 5th. Discover the hidden element that transforms goal setting from aspirational to sustainable. In this episode, Tracy breaks down how self-improvement habits fail without this critical missing circle, and why authentic success requires more than passion + purpose + profit. Learn the neuroscience-backed framework that elite performers use to align personal development with real results. https://YourSuccessDNA.com Tracy argues that Western culture reduced ikigai to a four-circle Venn diagram about finding the right job, while ignoring moai, the Okinawan social-support structure that makes sustainable purpose and longevity possible. Drawing on Dan Buettner's Blue Zones research and the Okinawans Centenarian Study, it explains that long-lived populations share tight social bonds and don't pursue meaning alone. A moai is described as a committed group of 5-10 people who show up consistently for decades, providing relational accountability, mutual aid, and identity affirmation. The script contrasts moai with transactional mastermind groups, links moai to reduced fear and stress responses and improved persistence, and claims isolation causes burnout even with strong routines. It closes with a call to build a moai, join a newsletter, and text one honest sentence to someone today. 00:00 Ikigai Diagram Myth 01:26 Meet Moai Support Circle 02:52 Moai Changes Your Brain 03:46 Not A Mastermind 05:38 Mutual Aid Safety Net 07:01 Self Help Isolation Trap 08:48 Vulnerability Builds Moai 10:29 Identity Crystallization 12:33 Find Your People 15:32 Whiskered Wisdom 16:37 Final Thoughts Ikigai, self help, personal development , Blue Zones, Dan Buettner, Okinawa, Sardinia, Nicoya, Moai, fifth element of ikigai, Longevity, Burnout, Accountability, Social support, yuimaaru, psychology, health, personal growth, success habits, entrepreneurial success, habits for success, habits improvement, mindset habits, mindset success, productivity improvement, self improvement mindset, success mindset habits, goal setting, self improvement Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What are blue zones? Humans have wondered about the secrets behind longevity since the beginning of time. Well, as it turns out, the world's five blue zones offer some revealing insight into this mystery. In these regions, people seem to live longer than in the rest of the world. Researchers have sought to understand the unique lifestyles that may be behind this phenomenon. Let's go back to the year 2000. Studying the province of Nuoro in Sardinia, Italian professor Gianni Pes and Belgian demographer Michel Poulain discovered to their great surprise that certain villages were home to a high number of people in their 90s or even over a hundred years old. The researchers marked these locations with blue circles which is how the non-scientific blue zone label was coined. Where are the other four blue zones then? So what are the secrets behind these people's long lifespans? Diet and exercise have something to do with it too? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What an 83-Year-Old's Daily Habits Reveal About Aging Most people assume chronic disease is just a normal part of getting older. Michael Dorfman, an 83 year old health and nutrition coach, has spent the last 18 years proving otherwise, and he's still playing competitive pickleball to show for it. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to change your trajectory, or whether the version of aging you've been told to expect is the only one available, this episode will reframe the question entirely. In This Episode: Why chronic disease usually starts decades before it's diagnosed, not the year it shows up The friend's heart disease reversal that changed the direction of Michael's life and work Why doctors are trained for sick care, not health care, and what that means for your decisions What the Blue Zones research actually found in common across five unrelated places on earth Why fiber, not protein, is the real deficiency in most people's diets The daily practices Michael uses now: breathwork, intermittent fasting, cold and hot therapy, and movement over formal exercise What changed when Michael stopped judging his father, and what that taught him about everyone else Key Insights: The body keeps a record long before symptoms appear. Type 2 diabetes in children and colon cancer in men under 50 are signs the timeline has shifted, not random bad luck. A surgeon's job is surgery. Lifestyle medicine is rarely part of the training, which means the responsibility for prevention sits with you, not your doctor. The Blue Zones populations didn't exercise in the way we think of it. Their environments simply required constant, ordinary movement. Letting go of judgment, of a parent, a stranger, a different point of view, was one of the latest and most valuable lessons of Michael's life. About Michael Dorfman: Michael J. Dorfman is an 83-year-old certified Health & Nutrition Life Coach, investigative author, and thriving example of plant-based longevity. Based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, he has spent the last 17+ years living—and coaching—on how to age vibrantly without chronic disease. Michael adopted a vegetarian diet in 1976, transitioned to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle in 2008, and earned his certification in Plant-Based Nutrition in 2019. His book, The Thriving Vegan, exposes how the food and pharmaceutical industries mislead the public—and how individuals can reclaim their health. In his latest book, The Longevity Wellness Revolution, Michael shares practical tools from the Blue Zones, as well as his discoveries, including breathwork, intermittent fasting, stress reduction, and more. He's passionate about showing that it's never too late to live with energy, purpose, and joy.

Are You Still Trying to Get Enough Protein? Protein-max. Protein bars. Protein on your bag of chips. If you've felt pressure to chase bigger protein numbers, this episode is for you. A new review published in Cell Press Blue made headlines on Good Morning America, ABC News, Fox, and USA Today. It's challenging everything the high-protein trend has been telling you. In this episode, we walk through: What dieticians, the USDA, CrossFit/keto circles, and Blue Zones researcher Dan Buettner each recommend The real story behind Dr. Atkins and the diet that started the low-carb protein craze What the actual research says about high-protein diets, heart disease, and longevity 95% of American women already get enough protein, but 95% are deficient in fiber Simple, practical swaps to build fiber-rich meals without a spreadsheet This isn't an anti-protein episode, but it's a call for balance, backed by evidence instead of marketing.

When most people think about longevity, they immediately think about nutrition, exercise, sleep, supplements, or hormone health. But what if one of the biggest predictors of living a longer, healthier life has nothing to do with what's on your plate? In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, we're diving into one of the most overlooked pillars of health: community and meaningful human connection. Loneliness has quietly become a public health crisis, and research continues to show that meaningful relationships influence everything from mental health and stress resilience to inflammation, cognitive function, and longevity. Yet many of us—especially women in midlife—find ourselves unintentionally putting friendships and community on the back burner while juggling careers, parenting, caregiving, and endless responsibilities. We share personal stories from our Minneapolis Hiking Collective, discuss why in-person connection matters so much, explore the difference between loneliness and isolation, and offer practical ways to build deeper relationships—even if you're an introvert or feel like you don't have the time. In this episode, we discuss: 00:00 Why community may be one of the most overlooked pillars of longevity 02:05 The surprising statistics on loneliness and why they matter 04:10 Why we started the Minneapolis Hiking Collective 07:20 Building community through shared interests and activities 09:55 Making time for relationships in a busy season of life 11:55 Loneliness vs. isolation—and why they aren't the same thing 15:45 Finding your people and creating meaningful connections 17:40 Community after retirement and during the empty nest years 20:30 Volunteering, travel, and creating experiences that strengthen relationships 23:45 Lessons from the Blue Zones and cultures that prioritize community 25:15 Why experiences often matter more than gifts 27:00 How to build deeper friendships through simple one-on-one connection 29:00 Our challenge for you this week Mentioned in today's episode • Minneapolis Hiking Collective • Blue Zones • DIY Vitality Reboot If you've been feeling sluggish, foggy, or just not like yourself lately, this is where we'd start.

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with explorer and Blue Zones creator Dan Buettner to explore what really helps people live longer, healthier lives. After decades studying the world's longest-living populations, Dan argues that longevity is less about supplements, discipline, or biohacking and more about environment, social connection, movement, purpose, and community.The conversation explores modern society, processed food, loneliness, urban design, capitalism, faith, friendship, happiness, and aging. Dan explains why healthy environments shape healthy behavior more effectively than willpower ever can and why governments and cities play a major role in public health outcomes. The episode also examines purpose, family, meaningful relationships, and how modern life quietly disconnects humans from the conditions they evolved for.Dan also reflects on parenting, legacy, curiosity, and his future work redesigning cities around Blue Zone principles. This is a conversation about longevity, but also about creating lives that feel more connected, meaningful, and human.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dan Buettner00:52 Imagination and exploration02:02 Why modern life is going in the wrong direction03:20 The lessons of the Blue Zones04:16 Stop changing behavior, change environment05:05 Neighborhoods and life expectancy06:24 Can governments create new Blue Zones?07:55 Food systems, capitalism, and responsibility10:13 Government policy and public health11:09 Faith, friendship, and longevity13:31 Freedom, discipline, and social structures14:50 Governments, health, and regulation16:51 Food or friendship: what matters more?17:25 Reflections on Shaka Senghor19:28 George Plimpton and changing his life20:35 Feeling different and curiosity21:08 Visiting the Blue Zones22:39 Living in Ikaria23:14 Wine, pleasure, and joy in longevity25:18 Plant medicine and altered states25:43 The secret to healthy skin26:21 AI and the future of longevity27:15 Aging, happiness, and emotional wellbeing28:01 What creates a “dark zone”?28:38 Legacy and raising children29:48 How to end things gracefully30:15 Beau Lotto's question about action31:05 Purpose, values, and meaning32:47 Curating your social circle34:01 Why people don't act on good advice35:35 Question for Michael Pollan36:11 New Blue Zones and future projects37:04 Designing healthier cities37:32 Closing reflectionsThis season of the Harvest Series podcast is made possible by Spark of Light.

Tom ArrixTom Arrix is the founder and CEO of Get Joy, a Connecticut-based pet wellness company building what may be the first truly functional gut-health platform for dogs. Before pivoting to pet nutrition, he spent nearly three decades at the top of media, sports, and advertising — most notably at Facebook, where as VP of Global Marketing Solutions for North America he built and led the company's North American advertising business, growing it from roughly $18 million to over one billion dollars in revenue.Tom's career spans several of the defining media companies of the last 30 years. He began in banking before moving into media, holding senior roles at Turner Broadcasting and serving as SVP of Digital Sales & Marketing at CBS Sports, ahead of his landmark run at Facebook. In 2016 he co-founded Adjacency Partners, a business advisory firm helping early-stage companies scale faster — a bridge that kept him close to founders as he considered his own next chapter.That chapter became deeply personal. After his Golden Retriever, Cooper, was diagnosed with lymphoma, Tom immersed himself in canine nutrition, and the power of whole-food nutrition gave him and Cooper 18 more months together. That experience led him to found Get Joy, built on a gut-health thesis and its BellyBiotics line. Today the company has launched across 477 Sprouts Farmers Market doors nationwide, counts Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner as its wellness ambassador, is trusted by more than 30,000 pet parents, and runs much of its operations — from customer service to marketing analytics — on AI. Largely bootstrapped, Tom's vision is to make Get Joy for dog nutrition what AG1 has become for human health: a daily, foundational product pet parents never question.
Can beans really lower your cancer risk? In this episode of Not Today Cancer, we break down the research on beans, breast cancer, and longevity — and exactly how to start eating them without the bloat. After my own diagnosis I moved to a whole food plant-based diet, slowly, and beans became the hero of the story. My partner Darren joins me — and the twist is he barely changed his diet at all, which is kind of the point: you don't have to overhaul everything. In this episode we cover: • The study linking high bean-fiber intake to ~25% lower breast cancer risk • Why soy is safe (and reassuring) for breast cancer survivors • Beans, colorectal cancer, and the power of dietary fiber • What beans do for cholesterol, blood sugar, and type 2 diabetes risk • The Blue Zones longevity connection • How to start slow without gas or bloating • Simple beginner bean recipes to try this week Links and resources: PDF Bean Recipes Jen's protein powder Use Code: Hello10 CoreFlow waitlist: JOIN HERE Free Not Today Cancer community: Request to join here Find Jen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jendelvaux/ Loved this episode? I would love it if you left a 5 star review. And if it gave you one idea to try tomorrow morning, share it with a friend who could use a softer, stronger start to her day. Whether you're a cancer survivor, newly diagnosed, or just want to eat for a longer, healthier life, this is a practical, hopeful place to start.

As humans we have spent a majority of our lives outdoors until very recently, when in a short time, we spend almost all of our time indoors and even in our short exposures to the outdoors we are not opening ourselves to the true benefits of nature. I don't believe in hacks and shortcuts and secrets to health, and this episode contains none of that. It points to data and I think you'll agree, common sense. We are spending ever more amounts of time and money on therapies and strategies and looking for the next magic cure, and as a board certified medical doctor, John has put his focus on being outdoors and getting his hands dirty. I find his insight more than compelling, but convicting. And his focus is on what anyone can do, anywhere, to get the free and deep benefits from being outside and nature, even if it's merely gazing at the sky for 10 minutes. John La Puma you may know from ChefMD™ and is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His new book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework. This is clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan. One of John's primary advocates and friends is Dan Buettner, famous for his research on the Blue Zones and its inhabitants who make up the happiest and healthiest demographic on the planet.

Dr. Alan Castel, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and cognitive aging. We discuss what science actually tells us about how to improve our learning ability and memory at any age. We also discuss how memory works, why all planning and imagination about the future is based on the past, false memories, and how to leverage curiosity, emotion, and self-testing retrieval practice to stamp in memories for the long term. We discuss what "superagers"—people who actually improve their cognitive capacity with age—do differently than everyone else. This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan.

She breaks down how the Seventh Day Adventist Church, John Harvey Kellogg, and powerful food and academic institutions worked together to manufacture the "Blue Zones" longevity story, and why the real history of Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, and Loma Linda tells a very different tale about meat, pork, and animal fat. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.Belinda Fettke is an independent researcher known for investigating the historical, religious, and commercial influences on modern dietary guidelines. After her husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was investigated for advising patients to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates, she began researching the origins of nutrition policy and public health messaging. Her work focuses on the intersections of religion, industry, and dietary recommendations. The interview explores how these factors may have shaped modern views on meat, plant-based diets, and chronic disease.
