The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons

Sipping Secrets from the Fountain of Youth with Dan Buettner


Listen Later

Ever stared down the barrel of a kale smoothie straw and thought, "Is this it – the elixir of life?" Or swallowed up the latest superfood while wondering if the real fountain of youth was something more... substantial? 

In today's enlightening episode, Dr. Scott delves into these questions with Dan Buettner, the National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author who uncovered the world's Blue Zones—regions where people live extraordinarily long and healthful lives. With the zest of an explorer and the insight of a researcher, Dan pulls back the curtain on how environment, lifestyle, and community weave together to create the widespread vitality found in these remarkable areas.

Together, they'll decode the lifestyle of super-agers and share the surprising ingredients for longevity that exist, not in some magic supplement, but in the collective recipes of purpose, faith, and connectivity. Dan will share his experiences and learnings from the Blue Zones and illuminate how we can cultivate these principles within our own neighborhoods, transforming them into our very own hubs of health and happiness. Whether you're seeking to add more candles to your birthday cake or simply aiming to enhance the quality of your days, this episode is an essential listen.

Topics We Break Down:

  • The role of the environment in willpower.
  • How happiness affects longevity. 
  • The power of an intentional social circle. 
  • Simple changes that make a huge difference in wellbeing. 
  • Why purpose matters.
