Longevity Secrets (And Controversies) From The Blue Zones | Dan Buettner

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.

---

Insights from the places on the planet where people apparently live the longest and healthiest lives.

Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, and journalist. He has written a series of bestselling books, including The Blue Zones of Happiness and The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes for Living to 100. He is also the host of the Netflix show, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones.

This is the kickoff official interview of our Get Fit Sanely series. (If you missed it, go back and check out the informal chat I posted on Friday with lead producer, DJ Cashmere). This is the third time we've done Get Fit Sanely, and in this go-round, we'll be covering not only longevity but also ozempic, exercise, and the Buddhist case for laziness.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The origin story of the Blue Zones
  • The nine common denominators, or Power Nine, to longevity.
  • The surprising information about much maligned foods such as pasta and bread
  • Why trying to pursue good health can actually work against you
  • Why the single most important factor in longevity isn't advertised on instagram
  • Tips for integrating Blue Zones wisdom into your daily life, including designing a life where you move more naturally
  • And some of the critiques and controversies surrounding his work
