In Part 2 of our unforgettable Blue Zone journey, we go deeper into the magic of Sardinia—not just what people do to live longer, but how they live.
In this episode, Rob and Randy share intimate moments from the Seulo Village celebration, including laughter, wine, dancing, and heartfelt connection with people in their 80s, 90s, and beyond.
You’ll also hear about our hike with Giovanni, where he showed us how the land is their medicine cabinet, and our time with Antonio, who broke down why pig lard (yes, really) is their fat-burning, energy-boosting secret.
This episode is all about community, connection, tradition, and the timeless wisdom of simplicity.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to live a long, happy life—this is it.
