SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring the phenomenon that is the Blue Zone as we embark on a life that's thriving and not just surviving. Have you heard about the Blue Zone? Blue Zones are regions around the world where people live much longer than average, often reaching age 100 or older. These areas have been studied for their common lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to longevity and overall well-being. Who doesn't want to live longer IF you could feel good, achieve happiness, and be content? That's the key, long life could be a burden if you are sick, lonely, and unfulfilled. So no matter where you are in your journey, you can pivot your thinking and embrace some new ideas to improve your quality of life and your longevity. Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones – where people live the longest, healthiest lives. Buettner's work is now spread across the country in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. Blue Zones Projects are well-being initiatives that apply lessons from the blue zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date. You may have seen his recent Netflix series, Live to be 100 where Dan travels around the world to discover five unique communities where people live extraordinarily long and vibrant lives. It really is a must-see for any age. I was really excited to learn the four principles that span each zone. Eating wisely Moving naturally Connecting with others Having a purpose or outlook Sounds simple right? Wrong. As I dug into my own perception of health and wellness I saw some skewed thinking and a real opportunity to change the way I looked at some of these things. So let's dig into each of these to explore what we “thought” and how that might shife with a new perspective. Cathy Wong from Very Well Mind lays out The Blue Zone Diet - How to Eat Like the World's Longest-Living People On the Someritus Life Design Center's website, I found more on the Blue Zone Principle - Move Naturally Alexa Mikhail from Fortune explains the importance of social connections in the Blue Zones Nell Derick Debevoise shares The Power Of Purpose: How Ikigai Can Help Us Live Longer from the Blue Zone Principals found at forbes.com Here are some key concepts of Blue Zone living: Plant-based Diet: Blue Zone residents typically eat a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. They consume meat sparingly, often as a celebratory or small portion. Physical Activity: Regular, natural movement is a part of daily life in Blue Zones. Residents engage in activities like walking, gardening, and manual labor. Social Engagement: Strong social networks and close-knit communities are common in Blue Zones. Regular social interactions and support contribute to overall well-being. Purpose and Meaning: Blue Zone residents often have a strong sense of purpose in life, whether through work, family, or community involvement. Having a reason to wake up each day is linked to longevity. Stress Reduction: Strategies for managing stress, such as taking regular breaks, napping, or praying, are common in Blue Zones. These practices help reduce chronic stress, which is associated with various health issues. Moderate Alcohol: In some Blue Zones, residents enjoy moderate amounts of alcohol, typically in the form of wine, with meals and in social settings. Belonging to a Faith-based Community: Many Blue Zone residents are part of a faith-based community, which provides social support and a sense of belonging. Family First: Blue Zone cultures often prioritize family and intergenerational relationships, with elders being highly respected and involved in family life. CHALLENGE: Re-evaluate your thinking on what contributes to a happy and healthy life. Be willing to exchange some ideas that may be skewed with new concepts that have healthier payoffs. These principles not only promote longevity but also contribute to a higher quality of life and overall well-being. I Know YOU Can Do It!

Today, we welcome Dan Buettner. Dan is a National Geographic Fellow, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of five books on longevity and happiness, and a three-time Guinness World Record distance cycling holder. During Dan's travels and research, he and his team discovered the five places in the world — dubbed Blue Zones — where people live the longest, healthiest lives and have been sharing this information with the world for over 20 years. Valeria sits down with Dan to discuss the Blue Zones and the reasons why the inhabitants of these places live longer than average. Dan shares his findings and exposes the American food system for what it truly is: a toxic environment of processed food that is slowly shortening our lifespans. Dan details how to adapt to a new diet and ways of living that can lead to a healthier and simpler lifestyle, how walking regularly is essential to longevity, and what knowledge and practices from the Blue Zones we can use to live longer, happier, and more fulfilling lives together.

The blue zones are regions in 5 countries where some interesting health discoveries have been uncovered. Those countries are Costa Rica, Greece, Italy, Japan, and the US; the Nicoya region in Costa Rica, Ikaria Greece, Sardinia Italy, Okinawa Japan, and last, but not least, my state California US, and the region is Loma Linda CA which is in southern CA. They matter and are very important to our Project Weight Loss, because these zones are the places that have been found to house some of the healthiest individuals that have some of the longest lifespans. Basically, I am talking quality of life. We can take some of their teachings from what I am going to call The Blue Zone Maesters. And because of the outcomes of the people that live there, these regions have been studied. To find out why people live so long and seem to be doing pretty well in these regions. In this episode, I want to focus on the wealth of lessons they give us. Dr. Gianni Pres, and Michel Poulain, published an article in the Experimental Gerontology journal speaking specifically to Sardinia Italy, where there was a high concentration of centenarians, all that means is people that were 100 years old or older. This work got lots of attention. And I think that's because one of the coveted thoughts out there is how can we as humans live longer, the so-called elixir of life. What is the secret to a long life, but not just a long life, but not just a long life, but a great quality of life with the love of others and the love for ourselves. So, Dan Buettner is an amazing Maester whom took this work to a whole another level. He has written many books and the book that reference in this episode primarily; the teachings and what I have learned is based on his book, Blue Zones, 9 Lessons for Living Longer, From the People Who've Lived the Longest. And also, his article Power 9. And what Maester Dan Buettner did is he went in search of other areas that also had this phenomenon. As a result, he added the other regions to the original location of Sardinia Italy.He is a National Geographic Fellow and an award-winning journalist and author. He is also a NY Times best-selling author and his written other books on this topic including a cook book.

Have you ever wondered what the secret to a long and healthy life is? Could it be the food we eat? Studying the areas of the world where people live exceptionally long lives, known as the Blue Zones, Dan Buettner may have found the answer.Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Fellow and best-selling author who recently gave a keynote at the Global Wellness Summit in Tel Aviv in Tel Aviv, Israel. Dan has dedicated his life to understanding the world's healthiest cultures. He famously identified five regions, which he has dubbed the Blue Zones, where people live the longest and healthiest lives.In addition to his books, Blue Zones: 9 Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the Longest, Blue Zones Solution, and Blue Zones of Happiness, Dan's newest book Blue Zone American Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100 was released on December 6th, 2022. In it, he shares recipes from the Blue Zones, focusing on plant-based dishes that are both inexpensive and easy to make while passing the American-palate taste test.Food plays a critical role in longevity. Much of the life expectancy lost in the average American is due to eating processed, meaty, and cheesy foods — the kinds of foods you don't typically see in Blue Zones. So how can we take this knowledge into our own kitchen? One quick fix Dan suggests is substituting beans for more unhealthy sources of protein and adding spices and herbs to make vegetables more palatable. Or look at some of the incredible recipes in Blue Zone American Kitchen and you'll wonder why you ever thought healthy food was unappetizing in the first place.The secrets of longevity that we can learn from Blue Zones extend far beyond food. Dan speaks of a concept known as the “grandmother effect” to live a longer and better life. This effect is seen not only in human populations but also in animal populations, where a grandparent remains in the immediate ‘pod'. Studies have shown that children who live in a home with a grandparent have lower rates of disease and mortality and can sometimes do better in school. It is a common practice in Blue Zones to keep aging parents in the home, rather than putting them in a retirement home. The wisdom and knowledge of grandparents can be very beneficial to the family and have been linked to a longer life expectancy in children. Harnessing their resilience and childcare benefits, as well as keeping the food traditions alive, grandparents can truly have a positive effect on the family and the generations to come.Another key to a long and healthy life beyond food is the importance of friendship in the workplace. According to recent research, having a best friend at work was the biggest determinant of whether or not someone enjoyed their job and was productive. This is why Blue Zone workplaces encourage employees to form non-commercial connections with each other, such as sponsor lunches, happy hours, and even walks. It is important to remember that friends can have a powerful influence on our lives and habits and that it is beneficial to have a variety of friends in our social circle. Having a vegetarian or vegan friend can also teach us how to make delicious plant-based food, which can help us lead a healthier lifestyle. All of this underscores the importance of forming meaningful relationships with the people around us and the positive impact they can have on our lives.It's no secret that being unhealthy can lead to a variety of diseases and illnesses, including dementia. Recent research has revealed a shocking statistic – since 1970, the rate of obesity in America has increased from 15% to 43%, while the dementia rate for older people has gone from 10% to 50%. This means that if you are 85 years old, there is a 50% chance that you are either suffering from dementia or on the road to developing it. The statistics are particularly dire for women, as the rate of dementia is...
Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Fellow and multiple New York Times best-selling author and joins us this week to share his work researching and documenting Blue Zones around the world. A Blue Zone is a geographically-defined and confirmed area of extreme longevity. Specifically, Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy, Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California, boast populations that live the longest and are the healthiest people in the world. What makes them live so long? Dan and his team of demographers have spent years researching these Blue Zones, documenting how these populations live and work.“We're spending $18 trillion a year on largely avoidable diseases. That number just keeps going up,” says Buettner. “We know these populations have a fraction of the heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia. “Why don't we focus on trying to set up our cities and our workplaces so they look more like a Blue Zone?”That's precisely what he and his team are doing now, working to create healthy communities across the United States, beginning with Albert Lea, Minnesota, where they built the foundation for the Blue Zones Projects.The Blue Zones books are inspirational for crafting better, healthier homes and workplaces, and we're thrilled to have Dan Buettner on the show this week to talk about his latest book, The Blue Zones Challenge: A 4-Week Plan for a Longer, Better Life.

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and Rupa Health.When we hear the phrase “Blue Zones,” most of us think of the healthy, long-living populations in places like Greece and Costa Rica. And while the large majority of these communities are indeed abroad (there is only one Blue Zone in the US), there are some hidden traditions that cooks around America have passed from generation to generation that we can embrace to create our own Blue Zone at home. It's interesting to note that at the same time we're seeing a huge interest in longevity, we're seeing a drop in life expectancy for the first time in living history over the last few years. The biggest culprit is our processed food supply. Today on The Doctor's Farmacy, Dan Buettner and I break down why chronic disease is so rampant in the US, what we can learn from the Blue Zones around the world, and how to bring Blue Zone principles into our own kitchens while embracing American traditions. Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world— dubbed Blue Zone hotspots, 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.This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and Rupa Health.Magnesium Breakthrough really stands out from the other magnesium supplements out there.

BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 146: Lyndsie Bourgon, Author of Tree Thieves Lyndsie Bourgon is a writer, oral historian, National Geographic Fellow and author of Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods. Join Hal and Lyndsie as they explore the many paths that led to her book on the booming trade in stolen timber and other forest products from America's public and private lands. You will never look at a beautiful violin or guitar quite the same (“music wood' is among the most poached and the most valuable), and you will be left pondering a very unsettling question: What is outlawry, really? From Robin Hood and Little John poaching the king's deer in Sherwood Forest to a lone man illegally cutting shakes in shadowy Northern California redwood groves, through roadside burl merchants in dying towns surrounded by mountains laid bare by clearcutting for an insatiable global market, how exactly does one define a natural resources crime? Tree Thieves is not a simple true crime book with simple villains. It's an exploration of humankind's relationship to the natural world that sustains us.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and InsideTracker.In Western culture, we've gained a negative view of aging. But in other cultures around the world, aging is celebrated and embraced. That's because we define difficult symptoms like aches and pains, cognitive decline, and so many others as “aging” when they're actually signs of dis-ease that can be prevented and often even reversed. Fortunately, there is much we can do to change the trajectory of aging starting at a young age, or at any age. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Frank Lipman, and Dan Buettner about all the ways to age better, from supplements to support mitochondria, to increasing muscle, to cultivating community, and more.Dr. David Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and codirector of the Paul F.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and InsideTracker. Community is medicine, just like food or sleep. Without community, we can become isolated, which has been found to be connected with inflammation and can even negatively impact immune response. Moreover, whom you choose to be in community with also matters. Your immediate social circle—the four-to-five people you surround yourself with the most—has the greatest influence on your health. In today's episode, I talk with Radha Agrawal, Dan Buettner, and Dr. Vivek Murthy about why community matters, what we have learned from cultures that prioritize community in their population, and how to take care of our needs first before giving to others.Radha Agrawal is the Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early morning dance and wellness move-ment. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people.

Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author.

Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 15, 2014 to April 21, 2017 and was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 23, 2021 as the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness.
