Podcasts about blue zones

My guest today is Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Explorer, New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning Netflix host, and a record-breaking endurance cyclist. In fact, he holds three Guinness World Records for distance cycling, having pedalled across the globe to over 70 countries. Travel is not just a passion of his - it's the lens through which he's viewed, explored, and helped reimagine how we live our lives.It was during these epic adventures that Dan's curiosity about longevity began to take shape. And that curiosity eventually led to one of the most fascinating and impactful projects of our time: The Blue Zones. Working alongside National Geographic and a team of medical researchers and demographers, Dan set out to discover the secrets of the world's longest-lived people. What he found were five extraordinary regions, in Japan, Costa Rica, Italy, Greece and a religious community in California - now famously known as the Blue Zones - where people weren't just living longer, they were thriving into their 90s and 100s. What's so remarkable is that these individuals weren't pursuing health - they were simply living in environments that naturally supported well-being. Think: plant-based diets, daily movement, strong social ties, and a deep sense of purpose. His findings became international bestsellers and his Netflix documentary Live to 100 introduced Blue Zones to a worldwide audience. and He's back this summer with a new cookbook, Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals, to help us all cook like the world's healthiest people.His travel diaries today take us from the jungles of the Congo, and the plains of the Sahara, to the lakes of Guatemala, and the islands of Japan. There was so much to cover, and I was so fascinated by all of Dan's insights, that we actually lost track of time, and so we're going to have to do a part 2 one day to find out his worst travel experience and hear a little bit more about his Mexican hidden gem. But nevertheless, I can't wait to dive into his story with you, let's buckle up and get started.

What if your doctor has been giving you all the wrong advice about aging, fitness, and longevity? In this eye-opening episode of Health Hacks with Mark L. White, world-renowned athlete and longevity advocate Brad Kearns (former top pro triathlete and author of "Born to Walk") joins the show for a candid conversation on how to actually stay young, fit, and injury-free into your 50s, 60s, and beyond. Prepare for some surprising truths: the "10,000 steps" rule is a marketing myth, focusing just on cardio might actually hold you back, and your pre-workout routine could be the most important training you'll ever do. Key Highlights: Rewriting Athletic Aging: Brad reveals how he successfully transitioned from a world-class endurance triathlete (destroying his body in his 20s) to a thriving masters high jumper and sprinter in his 60s—without chronic pain. Advice For Your Younger (and Older) Self: Why training for your "80-year-old self" beats short-term goals, and the ONE thing most athletes regret. Mobility Over Mileage: The critical role of strength, power, and especially balance in preventing falls—the #1 cause of serious health decline after 65. The Truth About Steps: The hilarious origins of the "10,000 steps" rule, and what research really shows about daily movement and brain health. Nutrition, Social Life & Sleep: Why animal protein and fruit should be your dietary cornerstones, how a bad relationship is worse than smoking for your lifespan, and why your phone is sabotaging your mornings. Put These Lessons Into Action: Start a Simple Morning Mobility Routine: Before reaching for your phone, spend even 5 minutes on basic movements or stretches to build resilience for years to come. Prioritize Strength and Balance Work: Add short, frequent resistance training—even just using stretch bands or stair sprints at home—to protect against injury and falls. Clean Up Your Nutrition: Shift focus to whole foods—think animal-based proteins and fruit—and ditch highly processed snacks for lasting energy and health. Reconnect Socially: Remember, a strong community and healthy relationships add as many years to your life as any fitness regimen. Respect Your Age, Strategically: "60 is the new 60"—don't ignore what your body is telling you; train smarter, not just harder. Follow-Up Challenges: Try a 1-Leg Balance Test: Can you balance 10+ seconds per leg? Practice daily and track your progress. Audit Your Pantry: Toss at least 3 processed foods this week. Technology Fast: Delay checking your phone in the morning until after you move. Don't miss this inspiring, practical episode if you want to break free from aging stereotypes and claim your strongest, healthiest years—no matter your age!

Heute spreche ich mit Dirk Steffens – dem wohl bekanntesten Wissenschaftsjournalisten Deutschlands. In seinem Podcast „Kettenreaktion“ sowie in einer neuen Doku für RTL Plus widmet er sich aktuell einem Thema, das auch mich begeistert: Healthy Longevity. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau hat er einen sechsmonatigen Selbstversuch gestartet, um den Alterungsprozess zu stoppen – oder sogar umzukehren. Mit dabei: epigenetische Tests, Longevity-Kliniken, Biohacking-Methoden, strikte Ernährung, Eisbäder und ein individueller Supplementplan. In unserem Gespräch geht's nicht nur um wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, sondern auch um persönliche Transformation, gesellschaftliche Relevanz und eine überraschende Verjüngung um dreieinhalb Jahre. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Wie aussagekräftig ist die epigenetische Uhr wirklich – und was verrät sie über unser wahres biologisches Alter?- Kann ein konsequenter Longevity-Selbstversuch das biologische Alter tatsächlich um Jahre zurückdrehen? - Warum ist nicht die Lebensspanne, sondern die gesunde Lebenszeit das entscheidende Ziel der Longevity-Forschung? - Welche Rolle spielen Ernährung, Schlaf, Sport und Stressmanagement bei der praktischen Umsetzung von Longevity? - Welche Risiken und Chancen birgt der Einsatz von Medikamenten wie Metformin, DHEA oder Wachstumshormonen im Anti-Aging-Kontext? - Wie sinnvoll sind Blue Zones als Vorbild für gesundes Altern – und wo liegen die Grenzen dieser Modelle? - Warum reicht Ausdauertraining allein nicht aus – und weshalb ist Kraftsport so entscheidend für ein langes, aktives Leben? - Was können personalisierte Longevity-Kliniken leisten – und wo liegen ihre Vorteile gegenüber der klassischen Medizin? - Welche Bedeutung hat Morbiditätskompression – und warum ist sie der geheime Schlüssel zu einem würdevollen Lebensabend? - Wie stark beeinflussen Lifestyle-Faktoren wie Alkohol, Fleischkonsum und Schlaf unser Risiko für altersbedingte Krankheiten? - Warum müssen wir dringend von Sickcare zu echter Healthcare umdenken – auch aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht?

Send us a textIn this episode, I explore whether the famed Blue Zones offer genuine insights for longevity or if they're more marketing myth than science, while highlighting what the evidence truly shows about living to 100.We begin by considering how many people actually reach 100. Currently, just 0.03% of Americans are centenarians, though this is expected to quadruple by 2054, with women comprising about 78% of that group (Pew Research). Globally, regions like Hong Kong show higher longevity, where 12.8% of females and 4.4% of males are projected to reach 100 (Nature). This brings us to the question: what might we learn from regions like the Blue Zones?I break down how the Blue Zones concept originated, starting with Sardinia where researchers Pes and Poulain mapped centenarians with blue dots, hence the term Blue Zones. Their 2004 study highlighted clusters of longevity (ScienceDirect). Dan Buettner later popularized these findings through his National Geographic article (Blue Zones PDF) and subsequent books, documentaries, and programs. The Blue Zones promote nine lifestyle habits: daily activity, minimal meat and processed foods, moderate red wine intake, calorie reduction, life purpose, stress reduction, spiritual community involvement, prioritizing friendships, and surrounding oneself with like-minded people.While these recommendations align in part with my six pillars of health—exercise, nutrition, mind-body harmony, sleep, exposure to heat/cold, and social relationships—the Blue Zones overlook critical factors like sleep and heat/cold exposure. Their encouragement of moderate alcohol use also contrasts with emerging evidence on alcohol's risks.I examine critiques of Blue Zone science, including flawed birth records that may inflate longevity claims, as seen historically in the U.S. and Greece  (bioRxiv, UCL). Some regions, like Okinawa and Sardinia, no longer display exceptional longevity, possibly due to regression to the mean or changes in lifestyle (PubMed).I also share a rigorous epidemiologic study tracking 80-year-olds to 100, identifying key predictors like non-smoking, low alcohol use, regular exercise, healthy BMI, and dietary diversity (fruits, vegetables, fish, beans, tea). Those with high lifestyle scores had a 60% greater chance of reaching 100 (JAMA).Ultimately, while Blue Zones have helped popularize valuable lifestyle habits, the science behind their claims is mixed. My six pillars remain grounded in evidence that applies to real-world aging.Takeaways: Focus on proven factors—exercise, balanced nutrition, sleep, mind-body practices, social connections, and thoughtful heat/cold exposure—to enhance both lifespan and healthspan. Be cautious about adopting longevity claims without strong evidence. Remember, while genetics play a larger role at extreme ages, your daily choices still profoundly influence your journey toward living long and well.

Bereits in den 1990er-Jahren ist dem Medizinprofessor und Epidemiologen Gianni Pes aufgefallen, dass in einigen Dörfern Sardiniens die Menschen ungewöhnlich alt werden. So begann die Forschung zu den «Blue Zones» zusammen mit dem belgischen Demografen Michel Poulain.In den Nullerjahren hat dann der US-Journalist Dan Buettner die sogenannten «Blue Zones» bekannt gemacht, ist dafür nach Japan, Costa Rica und Sardinien gereist. Er hat darüber geschrieben und eine grosse Faszination ausgelöst. Als dann 2023 die Netflix-Serie «Wie wird man 100 Jahre alt? – Die Geheimnisse der Blauen Zonen» erschien, gab es einen regelrechten Hype rund um Produkte, welche inspiriert sind von den Langlebigkeitsregionen.Mittlerweile ist jedoch umstritten, dass es die «Blue Zones» überhaupt gibt und die Hochbetagten überhaupt noch am Leben sind. Was steckt dahinter?In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» spricht Anke Fossgreen, Leiterin des Ressorts «Wissen» des «Tages-Anzeigers», darüber, wie dieser Mythos entstanden ist und was dafür verantwortlich ist, dass man alt wird.Host: Mirja GabathulerGast: Anke FossgreenProduktion: Sibylle HartmannArtikel zum Thema:Geheimnis der Langlebigkeit: Gibt es die vielen Hundert­jährigen in den «Blauen Zonen» überhaupt?Langlebigkeitsexperte im Interview: «Schweizer verschwenden elf Jahre ihrer Lebenszeit» Unser Tagi-Spezialangebot für Podcast-Hörer:innen: tagiabo.chHabt ihr Feedback, Ideen oder Kritik zu «Apropos»?

Episode 2659: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss three different topics that are all promoting mixed messages about health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/promoting-mixed-messages-episode-2659 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Promoting Mixed Messages Chris discovered an article in VegNews: a vegan Italian cookbook. (5:00) They divert to a bit of Italian-American history, which has had its challenges. (6:00) Back to the VegNews article: They ponder how an Italian meal can be vegan. (12:15) Vinnie's family grew veggies, but all the Italian meals centered around meat. There was a keto trial—a small trial—but testing high cholesterol. (22:00) They discuss how many studies have been misrepresented by not including countries whose cultural diets contain a lot of meat. Blue Zones has been misrepresented as well. The diets vary, and the level of meat is far more than what tends to be represented. The one thing all the Blue Zone cultures have in common is an active outdoor lifestyle. (37:00) If you want to get rid of heart disease, you must get rid of processed foods. (38:00) Lean Mass Hyper Responders have a different starting point to consider. (40:00) High cholesterol (LDL) in and of itself is not necessarily a problem; you need to look at it in conjunction with other factors. (42:00) The ADA launched the American Obesity Association. Novo Nordisk has contributed funds to the ADA. Novo Nordisk is the company that brought us Wegovy. (51:00) GLP-1s are not a Magic Pill; if they were, they wouldn't have deadly side effects. (52:30) The ADA amended its guidelines to say that GLP-1s should be the “first line of defense” of correction for T2 diabetes, rather than lifestyle. (54:00) The ADA is disengenuous because it receives millions of dollars from Big Food corporations each year to *not* tell you to cut out sugar and processed foods.

In this conversation, we delve into the principles of longevity as outlined in the book 'The Blue Zones.' They discuss the importance of lifestyle habits, the role of the senses in eating, and the significance of community and mindful eating in promoting health and well-being.

In episode 212 of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch welcomes Dr. Julian Gershon Jr., a triple board-certified physician in family medicine, sports medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Gershon is the author of Beyond the Fountain of Youth, a compelling guide to optimizing vitality, preventing age-related decline, and redefining what it means to grow older. Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience and personal practice, Dr. Gershon shares how his own transformation as an aging athlete led him into the field of regenerative medicine. Together, he and Dr. Lockitch explore powerful, science-backed strategies that can enhance both lifespan and healthspan—the years we live well. From hormone optimization to peptide therapies and red light treatments, Dr. Gershon explains how these tools support cellular health, fight inflammation, and reverse the effects of environmental toxins. He addresses common myths about hormone replacement, especially in women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, and explains the critical differences between synthetic and natural hormone therapies. This episode also dives into emerging regenerative solutions like peptides (BPC-157, AOD-9604, and more), red light therapy for pain and skin rejuvenation, and the foundational role of nutrition and micronutrient support. Aligning with the Growing Older Living Younger concept, Dr. Gershon emphasizes that many symptoms of “normal aging” are in fact avoidable and often reversible—if we are willing to become proactive students of our own biology.Listeners will also appreciate the discussion on the importance of mindset, self-talk, and spiritual and emotional resilience in aging well. Dr. Gershon and Dr. Lockitch share their personal insights on living with purpose, managing stress, and embracing daily rituals that uplift the body and the mind. Whether you're in your 40s or your 80s, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and empowering wisdom to help you live younger, longer. Discover how regenerative medicine, lifestyle changes, and belief in your body's potential can transform the way you age.  Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Introduction to the Podcast Welcome and overview of this week's focus: healthspan vs lifespan and regenerative aging 3:09 – Meet Dr. Julian Gershon Dr. Gershon shares his background in sports medicine and his evolution into anti-aging medicine 3:51 – The Core Message of Beyond the Fountain of Youth Longevity is attainable—everyone can take steps to live better, longer 8:16 – Misconceptions About Aging and Hormone Therapy Why hormone decline isn't inevitable, and how restoring balance improves quality of life 11:46 – Hormone Therapy After Cancer The controversy around HRT in breast cancer survivors and why natural hormones may be protective 14:49 – Peptides: What They Are and Why They Matter An overview of bioactive peptides, including BPC-157, and their roles in healing and inflammation 22:29 – Hormone Imbalance in Younger Generations The role of environmental toxins in lowering hormone levels in men and women—even in their 20s 24:29 – Red Light Therapy at Home and in Clinics Therapeutic uses for pain, skin health, and inflammation—plus tips on what makes a device effective 27:19 – Nutritional Therapy and Micronutrient Testing Why even healthy eaters may be nutrient-deficient, and how supplementation bridges the gap 30:53 – Sugar: The Silent Killer Glycation, inflammation, and the metabolic drivers behind aging and chronic disease 33:09 – Blue Zones and Natural Living Lessons in longevity from cultures that prioritize movement, real food, and community 35:00 – The Power of Mindset and Spiritual Practice How positivity, intention, and mental habits shape the aging experience 38:18 – One Key Takeaway “Become a student of the process—there's so much you can do to influence how you age” Learn about Dr. Gershon and The Fountain of Youth. https://www.facebook.com/AspenMed https://twitter.com/aspenmed https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5KHBSpVVPm7DMTr0nzSqg https://www.instagram.com/drjuliangershon/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-gershon-jr-do-faoasm-abaarm-2a1a3315/ www.aspen-regenerativemedicine.com Action Steps: Access Your Free E-book Guide from Dr. Gillian Lockitch Schedule a  OneonOne conversation with Dr. Gillian Lockitch.  Join the Growing Older Living YOunger Community  If you have not already done so please rate and review the show.

Führung beginnt bei einem selbst – auch auf dem Teller! In dieser Folge spricht Corinna Pommerening mit Gesundheitscoach und Ernährungsexpertin Wiebke Satz über das, was uns im hektischen (Business-)Alltag oft fehlt: Energie, Fokus und Balance. Wiebke zeigt, warum gesunde Ernährung viel mehr ist als Kalorienzählen oder Diättrends. Sie spricht über das Essen unserer Großeltern, die Erkenntnisse aus den Blue Zones, das gesunde-Teller-Prinzip und das 80/20-Prinzip, das Genuss und Gesundheit auf entspannte Weise vereint. Wir gehen der Frage nach, warum Ernährung gerade heute – in Zeiten von Stress, Hybridarbeit und Reizüberflutung – ein echter Schlüssel zu nachhaltiger Leistungsfähigkeit und mentaler Stärke ist. Dazu gibt es viele praktische Tipps für alle, die viel leisten und trotzdem achtsam mit sich umgehen wollen. Freuen Sie sich auf eine Episode, die motiviert, die eigene Ernährung mit mehr Leichtigkeit und Klarheit neu zu denken – ohne Dogma, dafür mit Genuss und einem ganzheitlichen Blick auf Körper, Geist und Leadership.

Join the Wits & Weights Facebook Group for evidence-based support and community, plus live Q&As and exclusive content--Learn about one of the biggest nutrition hoaxes of our generation - the famed Blue Zones, where people supposedly live extraordinarily long lives due to their traditional diets and lifestyles.When demographer Dr. Saul Justin Newman examined the data behind these celebrated longevity hotspots, what he discovered was shocking. Those regions with the most reported supercentenarians (people over 100) weren't the healthiest places. They were areas with poor record-keeping, poverty, and weak documentation systems. What's going on?You'll also discover how regions celebrated for plant-based eating actually consume meat daily, and get a data-driven framework for spotting diet deceptions.Main Takeaways:Blue Zone supercentenarian claims are largely based on fraudulent data and poor record-keepingMany "plant-based" Blue Zone regions actually consume animal products dailyExtraordinary health claims require extraordinary evidence - use the 5-point framework to evaluate nutrition adviceReal longevity factors are simple and well-established by the evidence without the need for "secrets," supplements, or hacksTimestamps:0:01 - The Blue Zone data fraud 8:17 - The plant-based diet deception in Blue Zones 10:10 - Other diet myths: alkaline diets, detox cleanses, dietary extremism 14:20 - 5-point framework for spotting nutrition nonsense 25:53 - What actually contributes to healthy aging 29:05 - Healthspan vs. lifespanSupport the show

What truly determines success in creating lasting change? Contrary to popular belief, it's not motivation, willpower, or even your inherent abilities. The research reveals something far more fundamental: your ecosystem shapes your outcomes far more than your genetic makeup.  Your zipcode matters more than your genetic code.  How do we shape ecosystems that bring the best in us?  From Silicon Valley entrepreneurial ecosystems to Blue Zones where centenarians thrive. The social dimension of change proves particularly powerful, with studies showing proximity to high performers can boost your productivity by 15%, while nearby low performers can decrease it by 30%.  When designing for sustainable change – whether for yourself, your team, or your organization – we often focus on motivation and clear communication. But what happens when energy wanes, time disappears, and routines get disrupted? This episode introduces the critical concept of "guardrails" – systems designed specifically to prevent failure when people are at their worst.  Ready to transform how you approach change?  Discover why social accountability outperforms willpower, how to design ecosystems that naturally encourage positive behaviors, and practical strategies for creating guardrails that catch people when they fall. Whether you're a leader driving organizational transformation or someone committed to personal growth, these research-backed tools will fundamentally change how you approach the change process. Listen now to build systems that make change stick – even when the going gets tough.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the show Brought to you by Angela Shurina EXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Most people think they're doing the right thing by buying olive oil, but chances are, they're making health-sabotaging mistakes without even knowing it. That's why I brought T.J. Robinson back to the show. He's known worldwide as The Olive Oil Hunter, the go-to guy for Michelin-star chefs and wellness leaders who want the real deal. We're talking fresh-pressed, polyphenol-rich olive oil from award-winning small farms in Italy, Spain, Chile, and beyond. Here's the hard truth: most olive oils in the grocery store are frauds. A 60 Minutes exposé uncovered how many are oxidized, stale, or secretly cut with seed oils, completely stripping away the health benefits you think you're getting. In this episode, we expose how to avoid the fakes, decode labels, and shop smart. You'll learn why bottle color matters, what “extra virgin” actually means, and how to spot the difference between real and rancid oil. We even cover why unfiltered oils aren't always a good thing and how polyphenol levels drop by nearly 50% within just six months. We also talk about the surprising science behind olive oil's health perks—from mimicking ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory effects to boosting gut health, metabolic flexibility, blood sugar control, and even supporting bone density and intermittent fasting. T.J. and I do a live olive oil tasting on air and share creative ways to use it at home with salad dressings, finishing sauces, desserts, and more. T.J. is offering my listeners a $39 bottle of ultra-fresh olive oil for just $1 to cover shipping. I've used his oils for over 5 years. Go to getfreshwendy.com and try it for yourself.   “ It's the backbone of healthy cooking. Make olive oil the backbone of your healthy cooking. Keep it simple.” ~ T.J.

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide. Together, they are revolutionizing the ownership of their own and their clients' health. As the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast host and the founder and former CEO of Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea draws on systems biology, mental models, root-cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships to offer long-awaited solutions for the rapidly growing chronic illness epidemic.After losing her young husband to a brain tumor in 2002, she discovered a passion for using food as personalized medicine and is now regularly consulted as the nutrition expert for the toughest clinical cases in the practices of many world-renowned doctors. She trains nearly four thousand practitioners each year in her methodologies so that they can, too, become the last stop for their clients and patients and a trusted referral partner for doctors in their area.

“You have to take the bull by the horns, and make things happen for yourself.” Ollie Osborne of Warrior Wellness Movement joins Hugh to discuss the challenges and importance of health and wellness, both physical and mental, in military life. The conversation covers the issues of reliance on medicine, the concept of holistic health, and the impact of lifestyle on longevity as seen in the Blue Zones. Ollie shares his personal struggles with physical injuries, divorce, and mental health issues, explaining how they led him to become a doer rather than a complainer. The discussion also delves into the military's handling of mental health, the implications of military suicides, and Ollie's journey from the Royal Marines to establishing his own wellness coaching business. https://warriorwellnessmovement.com/

Most people assume that aging means inevitable decline—but health and mindset can tell a different story. At 53, Steven Kotler set out to defy the so-called “long slow rot” of aging by learning how to park ski, a feat most experts believed was biologically impossible past 35. Along the way, he uncovered that many of our mental and physical abilities are “use-it-or-lose-it” skills—ones we can actively train to extend performance, youthfulness, and joy. In this episode, Steven shares the science behind peak performance aging, how mindset shapes longevity, and why dynamic challenges like action sports may be the secret to staying young and profiting. In this episode, Hala and Steven will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:22) The Inspiration Behind Studying Peak Performance (02:25) Debunking the Long Slow Rot Theory (04:16) Use It or Lose It: Physical Skills (06:54) The Importance of Dynamic Activities (16:57) Mindset and Aging (21:29) Overcoming Personal Traumas (27:59) Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence (32:43) Advancements in Regenerative Medicine (34:07) Learning and Cognitive Health (34:52) Three Types of Thinking for Better Aging (35:42) Business Opportunities in Hiring Older Adults (37:20) The Importance of Physical and Mental Activity (42:07) The Power of Authentic Learning (50:51) Insights from the Blue Zones (56:33) The Role of Flow in Aging and Performance Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world's leading experts on human performance. Steven is the author of 11 bestsellers (out of fourteen books), including The Art of Impossible and The Future is Faster Than You Think. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes, translated into over 50 languages, and has appeared in over 100 publications, including the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and the Harvard Business Review.

In this episode, we dive into two fascinating and controversial stories challenging the norms of modern health and wellness. Part 1: The MIT Neurosurgeon Who Quit First, we react to the viral story of a highly successful, MIT-educated neurosurgeon who walked away from a prestigious 20-year career. We explore his disillusionment with a medical system focused on surgeries over root causes, and his profound discovery about the power of lifestyle factors – like diet, sleep, stress reduction, and community – in true healing. We connect his insights to the Blue Zones, the work of Dr. Dean Ornish, and the pervasive issue of burnout. Part 2: Cole Robinson's "Sugar Diet" Then, we tackle the provocative claims of Cole Robinson (aka the 'Snake Diet' guy) and his argument that a high-sugar, low-fat diet is the key to getting ripped and achieving boundless energy – directly challenging keto and low-carb dogma. We analyze his confrontational style, break down the science behind energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and discuss whether there's method to his madness or just controversial hype. Join us as we unpack these unconventional perspectives, question the status quo in both medicine and diet culture, and explore different paths people take in search of better health, energy, and authenticity. What are your thoughts on these radical health shifts? Let us know your opinions on the medical system, lifestyle medicine, or the keto vs. high-carb debate!

Mary's Healing Journey: Once bedridden with dysautonomia, Mary reversed her condition through ancestral nutrition, high-fat animal foods, and nervous system restoration.

Are eggs going to give you high cholesterol, or are they the base of a great protein-rich meal? Will coffee give you cancer, or will it help you live longer?  If you're confused about what nutrition science has to say about which foods are healthy and which are not, you're not alone. But why is it so hard to figure out what's good for us, and why does the advice seem to change constantly? This week on Gastropod, we reveal the hidden history of how nutrition science got started, why its early successes saved millions of lives, and how those successes then led the field astray. From debunking the Blue Zones, to the discredited “French paradox” that had everyone washing their Brie down with glasses of red wine, to the most recent research on ultra-processed foods, we're breaking down how nutrition research actually gets done—and what that means for what should be on your plate.  Learn more about your ad choices.
