Dan Buettner: Living Longer via Blue Zone Insights (Hidden Gem)

The world of health, wellness & performance is unfortunately replete with baseless claims, pseudoscience-headlines and unsubstantiated – and often ridiculous - extrapolations of individual experiences to the general population. And then there’s Dan Buettner, who identified the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones hotspots – where people live the longest, healthiest lives. He has since written multiple best-sellers focusing on the practical elements making the blue zones unique. He also works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects 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.Welcome to the Catalyst 360 podcast, your source for engaging, evidence-based insights on health, wellness & high performance.
