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.

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»?

What is the best diet for someone with diabetes? Dr. Thomas Campbell shares his research comparing the DASH Diet and a whole food plant-based diet. Their effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are then examined. Although both diets showed improvement, the participants experienced superior results while eating the WFPB diet. Dr. Campbell explains why when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. In the Interview: Plant-Based Diet for Diabetes Management: The interview emphasizes the effectiveness of a whole food plant-based diet in managing diabetes, contrasting it with other dietary approaches like the keto diet, which merely suppresses symptoms rather than addressing underlying issues. Influence of Family Legacy: Dr. Campbell reflects on the profound influence of his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell who co-authored The China Study, on his career choice in medicine, emphasizing that his motivation stemmed from passion rather than pressure. Challenges in Medical Nutrition Education: He highlights a significant gap in knowledge among medical professionals regarding diet and its effects on health, particularly in treating conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Social Norms and Health: Dr. Campbell discusses how social norms contribute to unhealthy eating habits, making it difficult for individuals to change their diets despite knowing the health risks associated with poor nutrition. Patient Education and Openness: Dr. Campbell stresses the importance of patient openness to dietary changes and the need for healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming patients with information.

Podcast Episode: Blue Zones Book Club – The Power Nine In this episode, we dive into the seventh installment of our Blue Zones Book Club, exploring the "Power Nine"—the nine habits identified by Dan Buettner in his book *The Blue Zones: Secrets for Living Longer Lessons from the Healthiest Places on Earth*. These habits, observed across five cultures on four continents, offer valuable insights into living a long, healthy life. As always, our discussion is purely educational and meant to offer nuggets of wisdom for your personal well-being. Key Points Discussed 1. Introduction to Blue Zones and the Power Nine: - Blue Zones are regions where people live significantly longer, healthier lives. These areas share common lifestyle habits that contribute to their residents' longevity. 2. Power Nine Habits: - Move Naturally: Incorporate movement into daily activities rather than relying on structured exercise routines. Examples include walking more, sitting on the ground, and engaging in daily chores that require physical activity. - Purpose: Having a clear sense of purpose can add up to seven years to your life. The hosts discuss how to identify and nurture your life's purpose. - Downshift: Stress management through daily rituals like meditation, naps, and socializing. Simple practices like watching funny videos or writing thank-you notes can also help reduce stress. - 80% Rule: Eat until you're 80% full, a practice common in Okinawa. Focus on mindful eating, using smaller plates, and consuming the largest meal in the middle of the day. - Plant Slant: Emphasize plant-based foods in your diet, including beans, vegetables, and nuts. Limit meat consumption to a few times per month. - Wine at 5: While most Blue Zones inhabitants enjoy moderate alcohol consumption, the hosts emphasize that this habit is likely more about socializing and relaxation rather than the alcohol itself. - Belong: Faith and community involvement are vital. Regular participation in faith-based or community activities can significantly extend your life expectancy. - Loved Ones First: Prioritize family relationships. The hosts highlight the importance of close family bonds and investing time in loved ones. - Right Tribe: Surround yourself with a supportive social circle. Your friends significantly influence your health and happiness, so choose wisely. 3. Practical Tips: - The hosts offer actionable steps for incorporating these habits into daily life, such as planning walking meetings, starting a meditation practice, and joining social groups. 4. Event Announcement: - Amanda, Kendra, and Laura will be attending the ACEP Scientific Assembly in Las Vegas this September.

Blue Zones Book Club, Part 6 - Singapore Hosts: Amanda, Laura, and Kendra Episode Summary: In this episode, Amanda, Laura, and Kendra dive into the sixth installment of their Blue Zones book club, focusing on Singapore. Despite its urban environment, Singapore boasts one of the highest life expectancies in the world, proving that longevity isn't limited to rural, pastoral lifestyles. The hosts explore how this small island nation has transformed its public health landscape and shares insights into the programs and policies that have contributed to its citizens' long, healthy lives. Key Takeaways: 1. Singapore's Transformation: - In 1960, the average life expectancy in Singapore was just 65 years. Today, it has risen to 84.7 years, with some citizens living even longer. - The country ranks number one in healthy life expectancy and has the world's lowest rate of cardiovascular mortality. 2. Health Initiatives: - Singapore has implemented various outreach programs, including health screenings, cooking classes, and nurse dispatch services to connect those living alone. - The National Steps Challenge incentivizes physical activity, rewarding citizens for logging 10,000 steps daily with health points redeemable for various goods and services. 3. Strict Laws: - Singapore is known for its strict laws, including severe penalties for drug possession and the prohibition of firearms. While some might view these as extreme, they contribute to the country's low crime rates and high levels of public trust. 4. Education and Social Structure: - Education is highly valued, with Singapore ranking number one internationally in math and science for several years. The nation also emphasizes a common language (English) and a mix of ethnicities within communities to promote tolerance and social cohesion. 5. Unusual Takeaways: - The hosts humorously critique the chapter's somewhat unconventional advice, such as choosing a safe neighborhood and focusing on financial success, which felt out of place compared to the rest of the Blue Zones book. Additional Notes: - If you are going to be at ACEP Scientific Assembly in Las Vegas, join us at the EM Networking event at the Libertine Social Lounge in Mandalay Bay on Monday, September 30th, from 5 to 7 PM.

Today, I am blessed to have Mary Ruddick here with me. Dubbed the "Sherlock Holmes of Health" for her unique ability to expeditiously assess and remediate rare neuromuscular conditions that others have deemed impossible, Mary Ruddick can regularly be found endangering herself in the untouched corners of the world to learn from and distill the wisdom from the last remaining traditional cultures. She shares her findings and knowledge via her sought after keynote speeches, 100+ podcast appearances, her published articles, and her work both in front and behind the camera. In this episode, Mary argues that traditional diets, which universally include animal products, have supported excellent health in indigenous communities worldwide. She contrasts this with modern, often vegan, diets promoted in Western societies, which she associates with a rise in diseases. Mary highlights the historical mishandling of certain foods, such as corn, leading to widespread nutritional deficiencies like pellagra due to a lack of proper processing knowledge. She suggests that many modern health problems arise from nutritional misunderstandings and a failure to acknowledge the benefits of animal-based diets. Despite recognizing the temporary benefits of vegan diets, Mary warns that they lack the nutrients needed for health and rebuilding the body. Tune in as Mary explains that H. pylori is a necessary bacterium that should ideally reside on the tips of the villi in a healthy gut, but damage to the microbiome and villi can cause it to migrate into cracks, leading to problems. She critiques current stool-based microbiome testing as limited, noting that while diverse diets correlate with healthier microbiomes, this relationship is oversimplified.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! Today we're talking about the importance of community. Loneliness is truly an epidemic and now more than ever we need to remember that we need people. With the advancements in technology, although initially an amazing tool to help us connect, we are seeing how easy it is to miss out on developing meaningful connections with each other. We talk about having a third place as a way to build your community, the importance of having people who fuel your energy instead of drain it, and the correlation between our health and our community. As Keven said, family is what you make it, not necessarily who you were born with!

Welcome, I'm Kevin Miller, your host, guide and fellow traveler as we unearth what drives us. When we know what drives us and why, we get where we want to go. Our bodies drive everything we do, so in an effort to get them in the best shape possible, in this episode we are talking about food. I recently covered the best meats. Here, the best grains. With the huge focus on gluten and inflammation you hear more and more about being grain free and that all grain and carbs are the enemy. Yet as Dan Buettner covers in the Blue Zones which showcase the healthiest places in the world, most of them have some grains as a dietary staple. Overall, yes, we're best to minimize grains. Just like meat. A great plate of food would have veggies as half or more of the meal and not a side item. In America we have made a staple of big portions of grains at every meal. Who didn't grow up having bread with pretty much every meal? And we generally choose the least nutrient dense, life-giving options. I'm with Randy James, Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert to discuss what grains will serve you best.

Most of us would count ourselves lucky to live to age 80. And yet, there are places on Earth where people regularly live to 100, suffer virtually no chronic disease, and live life with a sense of purpose. These "Blue Zones" are the focus of Dan Buettner's work. He's a National Geographic explorer, an author, and a documentarian. He spent years traveling and studying the Blue Zones to understand why these 5 places on Earth produce some of the happiest, and longest-lived, people in the world. Dan and I discuss why happiness is the key to longevity, creating Blue Zones in our own lives, and how a longer life can begin with simply rearranging your kitchen.This...is A Bit of Optimism.
