Podcasts about blue zones

What if the world's longest-living communities held the key to preventing devastating diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, frailty, and sarcopenia? In this episode, I sit down with Prof. Mulcahy to explore what Blue Zones can teach us about protecting our brains and bodies as we age. We break down the latest science, identify major risk factors, and uncover practical steps you can take today to build resilience against neurodegeneration. Learn how to look deeper—beyond what you see—and discover habits that could shape a healthier future.

Blue zones are areas where people supposedly have more 100+ year-olds than average. But is it all based on faulty records?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 2689 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss how things are moving in a better direction with Gen Z, animal protein, the reduction of alcohol use, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/moving-in-a-better-direction-episode-2689 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Moving In A Better Direction Gen Z appears to be the generation that is pushing back against fake meat. (4:00) Many vegan restaurants are adding back meat; the demand for meat is still there. The theories are widespread; however, it all boils down to wanting both real animal protein and fruits and veggies. (13:00) Vinnie has nothing against vegans; he is simply for better health, which includes various animal proteins. There is a “reverse-engineered” process to make cheese. A genetically modified strain of E. coli is used to produce casein from scratch, enabling the creation of vegan cheese. (27:00) Blue Zones are areas that predominantly eat fresh, whole foods—yes, even meat; however, that part is often not discussed. (34:00) COVID news: There's been a backlash against alcohol based on overuse during the lockdown years. (39:00) There's a downward trend in alcohol consumption.

This show is all about longevity with Blue Zone creator Dan Buettner. He is an American author, explorer, storyteller, longevity researcher and public speaker. He co-produced the 3 time Emmy Award winning documentary Netflix TV mini series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones based on his book by the same name. On this show we talk about his adventures discovering those secrets and essentially some of the things we also need to do to live to 100. We also talk about his "one pot" meals, that are easy, quick and delicious that can easily fit into your life.

Dan Buettner discovered the five places in the world (dubbed “blue zones”) where people live the longest, healthiest lives. He has devoted his life to studying them.In this episode of the Align Podcast, New York Times bestselling author Dan Buettner shares what really drives longevity and happiness (spoiler: it's not just supplements or strict routines.) Dan breaks down the common traits in Blue Zones around the world, exploring parallels between modern society and ancient civilizations, and how reshaping your surroundings can change everything. We cover powerful insights from his new book Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals and how you can apply them in your everyday life to feel better and live longer.OUR GUESTDan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer and multiple New York Times Bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones – where people live the longest, healthiest lives. His articles about these places in The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic are two of the most popular for both publications.Buettner founded Blue Zones LLC, a company that works in partnership with city governments, hospital systems, and insurance companies to implement insights he gleaned in Blue Zones to help make cities healthier. In one such city, Fort Worth Texas, obesity rates dropped by 3%, and the city reported $250 million in projected health care cost savings. To date, over 70 cities have adopted Blue Zones Projects, improving the health of more than 10 million Americans to date.Dan's newest book, Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals; 100 Recipes to Live to 100, hits shelves on September 2. Backed by research and designed for busy Americans, this book tackles the root of chronic disease: ultra-processed food. With the average American eating out over 100 times a year—consuming 300 extra sugar- and sodium-laced calories each time—Dan makes the case for a powerful solution: cooking at home. To make it doable, he teamed up with a Stanford AI lab to analyze over 670,000 popular recipes, isolating the most-loved flavor profiles. The result? 100 fast, affordable, plant-based one-pot meals built on the principles of longevity—and designed to add up to 12 extra years of life.DAN BUETTNER

J Gulinello (PerpetualHealthCo on Rumble & IG) is in studio tonight and up front we talk a little about Blue Zones, areas that have unusually high number of people living past 100 years. Then we spend a little bit of time with Daniel & Kristabel of VERSO, Jamboree Sponsors who just so happen to be in the longevity business.

Can a bottle of Cannonau really hold the secret to living longer? We're not sure, but we can tell you what we thought of this one!This week the guys open the 2022 Dolia Cannonau di Sardegna. A red wine from the island that's famous not only for its beauty but also for being one of the world's Blue Zones, where people live longer than almost anywhere else. At just $17 and packing 14% alcohol, it had all the makings of a hidden gem. But did it live up to the hype?  Episode HighlightsThe big surprise: Cannonau is none other than Grenache, but with its own Sardinian personalityTasting notes ranged from bright cherry and plum to earth, oak, and herbsThe alcohol hit harder than expected, muting the fruit and leaving a thin structureFood pairing ideas from pasta with red sauce to grilled lambHave you tried Cannonau or any wines from Sardinia?

Ti sei mai chiesto se dovresti bandire pane, legumi, latte e perfino pomodori per mangiare “come i nostri antenati”, in questa puntata proviamo a rispondere a questa e altre domande con un approccio rigorosamente evidence-based:    • perché non esiste una sola “dieta dell'età della pietra”;    • cosa dicono davvero gli studi su cereali, legumi e latticini;    • fitati, lectine, glutine e zuccheri: minacce o falsi allarmi?    • che cosa possiamo imparare dalle popolazioni più longeve del mondo;    • il ruolo decisivo di stile di vita e movimento, ben oltre la lista degli alimenti “consentiti”.

What if the secret to living longer isn't found in cutting-edge supplements or complex biohacking, but in the timeless wisdom of Japanese rural communities? In this revealing conversation, 63-year-old biohacker and Ikigai Diet expert Sachiaki Takamiya shares groundbreaking findings from the World Longevity Summit held in Kyotango, Japan – a remarkable longevity hotspot with three times more centenarians than the national average.Forget what you thought you knew about Okinawa. The latest research shows other Japanese regions now lead in longevity statistics, with Kyotango emerging as a living laboratory for understanding what truly contributes to a long, healthy life. Through the Kyotango Longevity Cohort Study, researchers have identified four interconnected pillars that support exceptional longevity: a primarily plant and fish-based diet rich in fiber, functional movement integrated into daily life, strong community connections, and a deep sense of purpose through contributing to others.Sachi challenges Western misconceptions about ikigai, explaining how this concept relates to longevity in more nuanced ways than typically portrayed. Rather than simply "following your passion," the ikigai that supports longevity comes from feeling needed by others and having meaningful ways to contribute to your community. This perspective transforms how we might approach purpose in our later years.The conversation explores practical applications of these principles, from the ideal ratio of plant to animal proteins (hint: it's 50/50), to simple movements that maintain crucial functional abilities like walking speed and grip strength. You'll learn about "Mago wa Yasashii Koku," the Japanese mnemonic for remembering essential food categories, and how community-based exercise naturally combines physical activity with social connection.Whether you're fascinated by Blue Zones research, interested in Japanese culture, or simply want to understand how to live better for longer, this episode offers accessible wisdom that stands in refreshing contrast to complicated health protocols. Connect with Sachiaki through his YouTube channel "The Ikigai Diet Channel" or website theikigaidiet.com to continue your journey toward a more balanced, connected approach to longevity.

Author and speaker Scott Pectol shares how he went from stressed, sleep-deprived, and on autopilot to energized, leaner, and purpose-driven—without extreme gimmicks. After a harsh wake-up call from his doctor, a deep dive into sleep science, Blue Zones eating, and the “happiness macronutrients” (enjoyment, satisfaction, purpose) reshaped Scott's health and mindset. He breaks down the morning routine that keeps him consistent (pushups, walking, meditation, cold showers), why he chose an alcohol-free path, and how to build a lifestyle that supports fat loss, better sleep, and long-term happiness. What You'll Learn Why sleep is the #1 lever for energy, cravings, and sustainable fat loss The difference between enjoyment vs. satisfaction vs. purpose—and why most of us over-index on quick hits How Scott cut alcohol (and kept his social life) during the lockdown—and why energy became the ultimate motivator Blue Zones-inspired eating (beans/legumes, fiber, minimally processed foods) and real-world experiments that guided his diet A simple monk-style morning routine to hard-wire consistency and self-trust How to use ikigai to align work, health, and purpose Culture vs. biology: why ultra-processed foods hijack dopamine and wreck sleep, mood, and metabolism Tiny “do-it-today” actions that compound: walking, hydration, morning light, breathwork, and cold exposure Notable Quotes “Energy is the first ingredient of happiness—and sleep is the first ingredient of energy.” “Do one hard thing every morning you don't want to do that benefits your future self.” “I stopped outsourcing my emotions to food, alcohol, and TV—and took ownership.” “Walk, sleep, and simple whole foods beat hacks and heroics—consistency wins.” CTA If this episode helped you, follow/subscribe and leave a rating & review—it helps more people find the show.

Episode 2680 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss Parkinson's disease, purpose, the marketing of sugar, and making the most of your time. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/making-the-most-of-your-time-episode-2680 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Making the Most of Your Time Vinnie had a long-term relationship with a woman who struggled with Parkinson's disease. (2:00) He also shares a story about Ozzy Osbourne, who was always very considerate. (5:00) Parkinson's has its challenges that appear to be less influenced by lifestyle. It can be early-onset and be diagnosed as early as age 35. This launches a conversation about leaving a legacy. (15:20) Vinnie's main interest has been to help people with their health. Coke made a big announcement that they are bringing “real sugar Coke” back into the U.S. (29:00) This is not a better option—it's still filled with sugar! Fruit juices are nothing but sugar. (36:00) Chris shares some trivia about the marketing of Coke, Pepsi, and Russia. (44:00) Phone screen diet update. (45:00) A study shows that kids who had cell phones or iPads before age 13 had more mental health challenges. (46:00) Has Vinnie noticed changes in himself or how he feels since using his phone only for work purposes? What goes into your body, both physically and mentally, affects what comes out. (48:00) Be wise in the use of your time! It's not true that technology always gives you more time. (52:00) A lot of technology just makes you lazy and lose health and mindfulness. (55:00) Do something useful and with purpose! For example, make dinner at home and have it be a part of family time—connection matters. Part of the success of Blue Zones is less about diet and more about community and basic human connection. (57:00) A lot of stuff is coming up with Vinnie in August, so keep an ear open!

Chip Conley is the founder of Joie de Vivre hotels, the second-largest boutique hotel brand in the world. At age 52, he joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, reporting to CEO Brian Chesky, who was 21 years younger. He earned the title of Airbnb's “Modern Elder” by guiding the young founders on leadership and culture while learning Silicon Valley's tech mindset himself. Today, Chip leads the Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school, and is the author of best-selling books like Wisdom@Work and Peak. He champions the idea that age and experience are assets—and that midlife can be a launchpad for renewed purpose and impact.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The reality of Brian Chesky in “founder mode”—the good, bad, and stressful2. How Chip went from running 52 boutique hotels to becoming Airbnb's in-house mentor in his 50s3. The “mentor and intern” mindset: how to simultaneously teach others and stay curious like a beginner4. Why AI might actually favor older workers (hint: human wisdom vs. artificial intelligence)5. His framework for navigating midlife transitions and finding meaning after 406. Specific tactics for older professionals to thrive in tech companies7. Surprising data that midlife is often the happiest time of life—and how to leverage your 40s, 50s, and beyond8.

Blue Zones are an area of interest for many, geographical locations in which people live longer than average. Some such areas are in Sardinia, others in Okinawa in Japan, Nicoya in Costa Rica, and Ikaria in Greece – all of which have a significant number of people living into their 90s or hundreds. But why are these people living so much longer than average? Dr Dougal Sutherland delves into the research and reasons behind the extended lifespans of those in Blue Zones.

On Thursdays, we bring you a handful of odd science stories for our segment called #StrangeScience.World's biggest Mars rock sells for $5.3 million at auction. What are ‘blue zones'? 5 places on Earth where the healthiest people live

In this conversation, Joel Evan and Blair LaCorte explore the multifaceted aspects of longevity and anti-aging. They discuss how aging can be viewed as an outdated operating system that can be upgraded through lifestyle changes, particularly focusing on the role of chronic inflammation, genetics, and community. Blair emphasizes the importance of balancing the nervous system, the lessons learned from Blue Zones, and the need for personalized health strategies. The discussion also touches on the significance of daily movement, nutrition, and mindset in achieving a fulfilling and longer life.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Longevity and Anti-Aging06:10 The Importance of Health Span vs. Longevity14:00 The Power of Connection and Community19:55 Debating the Blue Zones and Longevity Practices28:23 Balancing High and Low Intensity Training34:08 Navigating Genetic Testing and Health Insights39:35 Evaluating Supplements and Their Efficacy45:01 Changing Habits for a Healthier Future

“Body work, brain work, and world work - all longevity habits fit into those three categories.” -Allison Davis When author and naturopath Allison Davis turned 60, she didn't accept it as the “gateway to old age”—she saw it as a turning point. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, talk with Allison about her transformative journey and her new book, Sixty Is a Good Start: A Powerful Body, A Purposeful Life, and a Plan to Make It Happen. Allison recounts a yearlong period of reflection that led to saying “yes” to new challenges, most notably, the intense 75 Hard program. But her real insight lies in making change sustainable through what she calls the “self-perpetuating circle of purpose”: small, habit-based practices in three categories—Body Work, Brain Work, and World Work. Drawing on research from Blue Zones and longevity science, she outlines a holistic strategy grounded in baby steps, accountability, and environment. Whether it's putting fruit at eye level in the fridge or walking with a group of friends every (or nearly every) morning, Allison makes the case that aging well isn't about an overhaul, but intention. Allison's ultimate goal is to help us reimagine our next chapter—not as a slow fade, but as a season of vitality, purpose, and community.   Key Topics: Allison's Turning Point at age 60 (03:12) The Power of Saying Yes and the Misogi Method (05:42) Completing 75 Hard and the Role of Community (07:37) Introducing the Body/Brain/World Framework (15:34) Blue Zones, Longevity, and Daily Habits (17:21) How Environment Shapes Behavior (20:07) The Power of Baby Steps and Planning (21:36) Optimism, Accountability, and Positive Aging (29:48) Key Takeaways (35:25)   Resources: Sixty Is a Good Start: A Powerful Body, A Purposeful Life, and a Plan to Make It Happen (book) Allison McCune Davis Website + Link to the 60-Day Dare   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

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.

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. (55:00) The information the ADA gives cannot entirely be trusted because of the sources of funding it receives. Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.
