About this episode

In today’s episode, I sat down with Dan Buettner and Ben Leedle to discuss Blue Zones, what they are and what we can learn from them.

Blue Zones are places around the world where people statistically live the longest, avoid common diseases, and all-around live extremely healthy lifestyles

We talk about how modern exercise is a public health failure, why environment plays more into our longevity than genetics, and how each of us can improve our environments to live a longer, better life today.
