The Academy Podcast with Kamil Shah

🎙"...Even brief periods of rest can reduce stress hormones and promote cardiovascular recovery..."

Tucked away in the Aegean Sea, the island of Ikaria is a place where time seems to slow down — and people live longer than almost anywhere else on Earth.

As one of the world’s five official Blue Zones, Ikaria is home to a population that experiences dramatically lower rates of chronic disease, with many living well into their 90s and beyond — with energy, purpose, and joy.

What’s behind this Ikarian phenomenon? 🍇

In this week’s episode, we dive into the lifestyle, culture, and hidden wisdom of this extraordinary island — from their Mediterranean diet to afternoon naps, strong social ties, and a deep-rooted sense of belonging.

Want to understand the rhythm of Ikarian life — and how it could transform your own?

🎙"People who walk 50 to 70 minutes, 3 times per week, lost on average, 1.5% body fat & 1.1 inches around the waist over a 12 week period..."

Sardinia is super special as a Blue Zone region.

The region boasts nearly 10 times more centenarians (and that is people who live to the age of 100 and beyond) per capita than the U.S.

Sardinia's Blue Zone is not just a geographical location but a way of life—a lifestyle rooted in tradition, community, and connection to the land.

This week, I share with you how a combination of factors make up the fundamental aspects to the longevity of Sardinians, and how they can also help us do the same!

In this 1st Episode of the multi-part series "How To Live Longer" on The Academy Podcast with Kamil Shah, I share some of the wisdom behind the secret to long life from a set of unique places around the world called "Blue Zones".

I'm looking forward to sharing the next few episodes with you. The reason being is that I've been inspired to create this multi-part series by something I recently saw on Netflix!

The particular series caught may attention due to its title..."Live to 100 : Secrets Of The Blue Zones" hosted by New York Times Bestselling Author, producer & keynote speaker, Dan Buettner.

Across the globe, Dan & his team have identified concentrations of population that love to 100 years and beyond. They call these areas "Blue Zones".
