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.
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.
