Live Your Longest Life: Staying Young with Dan Buettner

Not Alone

23-01-2024 • 52 mins

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.  Watch Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix: https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/81214929  You can find Dan on:  https://www.instagram.com/danbuettner  https://www.tiktok.com/@danbuettner  https://www.bluezones.com/  https://danbuettner.com/  Valeria is on: https://www.instagram.com/valerialipovetsky/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWkDFq1pO7YNzifE3A4UsMA  https://www.tiktok.com/@valeria.lipovetsky  Not Alone Podcast What We Talked About: 00:00 Intro 00:25 Visiting places and bringing their stories to the world 04:46 The Blue Zone project 07:08 Finding areas where people live the longest 10:05 The common traits of people in blue zones 14:03 Our food environment is often toxic 18:40 How America evolved into consumerized food production 21:18 Obesity has now become a problem  23:00 Eating healthy is much cheaper 24:46 The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100 26:59 Don’t change your behavior, change your environment 31:23 Community is a huge pillar to our longevity 35:16 Some supplements are harming our body 37:16 Biohacking may not work for you 40:23 How do you stay away from toxins? 41:46 This is how the Blue Zone Project operates 45:58 How to adapt the blue zone lifestyle at home 49:27 Road to living a simpler life Learn more about your ad choices.
