SHOW NOTES

(05:16) One of the keys to longevity among those living in “Blue Zones” are their tight-knit communities and strong sense of personal identity, more than just their nutrition.

    • (11:27) Longevity is not just the amount of years you live, but the quality of experiences and that throughline of purpose in your life.

    • (20:59) Avoid eating plants with vigor-altering chemicals, which become gut irritants that poison the body over time. Such chemicals exist as a defense mechanism to prevent the over-eating of these plants.

    • (29:48) Whatever is in your body is there for a reason, in accordance with nature.
