Dan Buettner on the Longevity Craze—and Why Blue Zones Still Matter
Not your usual Blue Zones recap. In this candid conversation, National Geographic explorer and longevity researcher Dan Buettner shares what he’s learned since first uncovering the world’s longevity hot spots, how his perspective has evolved, what he REALLY thinks about today’s booming “longevity industry,” and how much of the Blue Zones lifestyle he personally follows. This is a fun one!
Key Takeaways:
Focus on the Blue Zones pillars: eat a mostly plant-based diet, move naturally throughout your day, cultivate the right outlook, and connect with others.
Your friends’ habits are contagious: Surround yourself with a “tribe” that inspires you to make healthy food choices, move more, laugh more, and live more.
Channel your inner Thomas Jefferson: During a meal, keep one
conversation going around the table. Ask a meaningful question and truly
listen. It’s a simple way to create connection and community.
Live by the 75% rule: You don’t have to be perfect 100% of the time. Enjoy a splurge now and then—just don’t do make it the norm.
It’s never too late to start: The best time was 20 years ago; the next best time is today.
