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. This is the real, doable version of eating for a longer life. No extremes required.If you missed his interview in Season 1, be sure to check out Episode #8!As for this episode…What You'll Learn:Why the standard American diet contributes to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths a year, and what's changed since 1980The 5 pillars found in every longevity diet in the worldWhy a daily cup of beans is linked to living 4 years longerWhy lightly steaming greens (even spinach) may beat eating them rawThe one small kitchen swap tied to weighing 6 pounds less over two yearsWhy starting your day with a savory breakfast beats cereal or bacon and eggsHow faith and community involvement are linked to living 4–14 years longerWhy your friends' habits are measurably contagious•Why longevity isn't about one miracle food, supplement, or 30-day challenge—it's about habits you can happily repeat for decades.… and so much more to help you create a lifestyle that supports not only a longer life, but a healthier, more vibrant one.About Our Guest Expert:Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist, producer, and New York Times bestselling author best known for discovering and researching the world's Blue Zones—regions where people consistently live exceptionally long, healthy lives. His work explores the food, movement, social, environmental, and lifestyle patterns shared by some of the world's longest-lived populations.In The Blue Zones American Kitchen, Dan turns his attention to the United States, uncovering traditional plant-forward food cultures and heritage recipes that reflect many of the same longevity principles found in Blue Zones around the world.Connect with Dan Buettner:Instagram: @danbuettnerWebsite: danbuettner.comBook: The Blue Zones American KitchenAlso explore: The Blue Zones Kitchen and The Blue Zones____________________________________Get Cleaner, Regulated, Better Supplements for LessDid your last order of vitamins come off a big online overnight shipping platform but you have no idea how long it was sitting in an overheated warehouse?Or maybe those Omega-3s you take are actually rancid but you wouldn't know?That's why I'm excited to have found a platform that is not only efficacious and 3rd-party lab tested, but also regulated to have the ingredients in them that are on the label!And Fullscript has 100+ brands of supplements you may already be taking…only better.

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.

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.

The longevity industry wants you to believe you can live forever.

Death is part of life.

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.

Can the choices you make today help you live a longer, healthier life? In this episode of Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD sits down with filmmaker David Donnelly, director of the documentary Forever Young, to explore the science of healthy aging, longevity, and healthspan.

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.

Are you spending more energy stressing about your health than actually enjoying your life?In this episode of the Health Up Podcast, clinical nutritionist and lifestyle medicine specialist Anthony Hartcher tackles one of the most overlooked wellness traps — health obsessiveness, also known as orthorexia. If you've ever felt guilty for missing a workout, competitive about how long you fasted, or overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode is your permission slip to breathe.Anthony explores why the relentless pursuit of "doing health perfectly" can actually work against your wellbeing — and why the healthiest communities on earth (the Blue Zones) thrived without a single supplement, gadget, or biohacking protocol.What you'll discover in this episode:

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. This episode is for information and encouragement, not medical advice — always check with your care team. Not today, cancer.
The topic of today's program are Blue Zones.

Joining CoHosts Paul Hoppe, Dr Gene Shively, and Dr Michael Flynn is our guest, Doctor Donald Henderson. Dr. Henderson is the director of health care administration at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine located in Bradenton FL.

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.

Send us Fan MailYour Emotions Aren't the Problem: Non-Attachment, Regulation & the REER FrameworkWhat if your emotions were never the problem, and you were just never taught what to do with them? In this solo episode I'm getting honest about the emotional experience, non-attachment, and how we move through our feelings instead of being run by them. We talk about why we chase dopamine hits when we're not taught to regulate, what the Blue Zones reveal about staying well, and what the Bhagavad Gita says about controlling the senses (spoiler: it's like controlling the wind). I break down the Venus into Virgo transit and the honest inventory it's asking for, why proximity and frequency matter more than information, and I share the framework I finally gave a name to: REER.

It's hard to know which way to turn — Blue Zones and modern muscle science don't seem to live on the same map. It's hard to argue with either. What can we learn from blue zones and modern muscle science when it comes to living longer, stronger, and more independently? Let's talk about the apparent contradiction between the world's longest-lived populations and today's research on muscle as the key to healthy aging. You'll discover why the answer isn't choosing one approach over the other, but understanding how both can support your healthspan and longevity goals.

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.

In this deeply personal episode, your host shares a raw and honest update from her third postpartum journey and the profound lesson it gifted her: the power of receiving. From navigating a difficult pregnancy at 41 with a FIFO husband, running businesses, and raising two older children, she opens up about the friends who showed up without being asked, the "meal train" that moved her to tears, and why hyperindependence is not the flex we think it is. Weaving in research from the Blue Zones documentary, specifically the Power Nine framework, this episode explores why your social circle may be the most underrated key to a long, thriving life, and how to finally open yourself to the love, support, and abundance you deserve. Whether you've been burned before, tend to do everything yourself, or simply struggle to let people in, this episode is your invitation to soften without losing your strength.
What if the secret to living to 100 without chronic disease isn't a magic pill, a grueling diet, or a hidden gene? This week on In My Heart, host Heather Thompson sits down with National Geographic Explorer, bestselling author, and Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner to completely reverse-engineer how we look at aging, health, and happiness. After analyzing decades of dietary surveys, Dan reveals that the world's longest-lived populations thrive almost exclusively on whole, plant-based foods. But here is the catch: they aren't relying on willpower. In this episode, Dan breaks down the "Power 9" lifestyle habits and explains why true longevity relies on shifting our surroundings rather than forcing restrictive habits. From the "all-star" longevity ingredient sitting in your pantry to the profound impact of your immediate social circle (your "Moai"), you'll learn how to curate an ecosystem where the healthy choice is the mindless choice. Plus, Heather shares her own deeply personal journey of discovering food as medicine to save her son's life, and Dan explains how true happiness and a defined sense of purpose can statistically add up to eight extra years to your life expectancy. Forget the quick fixes and multi-billion dollar processed food propaganda. Tune in to discover the affordable, actionable four-week blueprint from Dan's latest book, The Blue Zones Challenge, and learn how to start thriving right where you are today.

If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think. Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort. By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it?

What if one of the most powerful medicines for longevity, resilience, happiness, cognitive health, and disease prevention wasn't found in a supplement, a prescription, or a cutting-edge biohack—but in the people around you? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien dives into one of the most overlooked health crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from the landmark 85-year Harvard Adult Development Study, the U.S. Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report, Blue Zones research, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Darin reveals why meaningful human connection may be one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity ever discovered. From oxytocin, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation to suburban design, social media, and the collapse of community structures, Darin exposes the hidden biological costs of isolation—and offers a practical roadmap for rebuilding the human connections we were biologically designed to need. What You'll Learn The stunning findings from Harvard's 85-year Adult Development Study Why relationships outperform wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise as predictors of well-being How loneliness increases the risk of premature death, dementia, heart disease, and stroke Why social isolation creates measurable biological stress responses The role of oxytocin in lowering inflammation and regulating stress How human connection affects the autonomic nervous system Why Blue Zone communities consistently prioritize social connection The biological difference between digital interaction and real human presence How modern architecture and technology contribute to loneliness Why community is a biological necessity—not a luxury Practical ways to rebuild meaningful relationships today How connection may be one of the most powerful health interventions available Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste and reducing plastic waste 00:02:49 – The most powerful health study ever conducted 00:03:01 – Harvard follows 724 people for 85 years 00:03:40 – The surprising predictor of a long, healthy life 00:04:00 – Why relationships beat wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise 00:04:42 – The Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic warning 00:05:19 – Introducing the medicine you're not taking 00:05:53 – The health benefits of genuine community 00:06:21 – The fatal convenience of modern life 00:06:47 – Replacing human connection with digital connection 00:07:12 – Why modern convenience may be creating isolation 00:07:23 – Social isolation and premature mortality 00:08:02 – Loneliness and the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day 00:08:43 – Increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia 00:09:10 – Why loneliness is a biological threat 00:09:52 – The science behind social isolation 00:10:11 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:06 – Humans as the most socially dependent species 00:12:53 – Why connection regulates the nervous system 00:13:29 – The autonomic nervous system and social safety 00:13:56 – The brain's constant question: Am I safe? 00:14:03 – The biology of belonging 00:14:24 – The ventral vagal state explained 00:14:55 – Why connection creates measurable physiological changes 00:15:03 – What happens when isolation becomes chronic 00:15:52 – Oxytocin: far more than the "love hormone" 00:16:20 – Eye contact, touch, meals, and human bonding 00:16:42 – How oxytocin lowers stress and inflammation 00:17:04 – Why no supplement can replace connection 00:17:17 – The pharmacology of authentic human moments 00:18:06 – Free medicine hidden in plain sight 00:18:39 – Dan Buettner and the Blue Zones 00:19:29 – What the world's longest-lived populations have in common 00:19:36 – Okinawa's lifelong friendship circles 00:20:08 – Sardinia's active elders and social roles 00:20:40 – Greece's culture of connection and communal meals 00:21:03 – Why longevity wasn't hacked—it was lived 00:21:38 – Social connection as the foundation of daily life 00:22:01 – The shocking decline in face-to-face interaction 00:22:21 – Young people losing 70% of in-person social time 00:22:58 – How community was systematically dismantled 00:23:00 – Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone 00:23:49 – Doing life together versus doing life alone 00:24:05 – How suburban design creates isolation 00:24:49 – The built environment shapes human behavior 00:24:55 – Social media and the promise of connection 00:25:20 – Why digital connection fails biologically 00:25:33 – Social comparison, anxiety, and nervous system stress 00:25:49 – More connected online, more isolated in reality 00:26:03 – A call to action: treating relationships like health practices 00:27:00 – Practical ways to rebuild community 00:28:00 – Prioritizing people over convenience 00:29:00 – Deep conversations, presence, and intentional connection 00:30:00 – Reclaiming community in modern life 00:31:00 – Final thoughts on connection, belonging, and health 00:31:53 – Closing remarks and outro Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

Human connection isn't a luxury, a personality trait, or a nice bonus when life slows down. It is biology. It is medicine. And in a world increasingly designed for isolation, rebuilding community may be one of the most important health decisions we ever make."
