  • #14 Longevity Lessons from the Blue Zones | Dan Buettner
    Dan Buettner is the author and founder of the Blue Zones, which was a project that looked at regions of the world where people were living the longer than average - Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Loma Linda, California; and Icaria, Greece. Dan is also a National Geographic Fellow, a New York Times Bestselling author, an Emmy Awards-winner for co-directing the Africatrek: A Journey by Bicycle through Africa, and holds three Guinness records for endurance cycling.
    In this episode, Dan talks about his work with the Blue Zones, what the 5 Blue Zones Hotspots had in common, how to apply the lessons from the Blue Zones to urban/food deserts, and the quality of life for those living in the Blue Zones. I personally think that this is some of the best research out there for those who are interested in learning about longevity and what one can do to help maximize it. In short: eat a healthy diet, move your body, and surround yourself in positivity!

    However, before Katie adopted a healthy vegan lifestyle, she suffered from an eating disorder called Bulimia. She stated that she felt "mentally unwell" as she was intentionally binging and vomiting after eating. Once she found out about the benefits of a plant based diet and cycling, she was able to get out of "the darkest time" of her life. Not only was she able to address her eating disorder through nutrition and exercise but she was also able to lost 35 kg (77 lbs) and ride as far as 400 km (249 mi) to 600 km (373 mi)! That's the power of plant based nutrition, folks!
