This is the kickoff official interview of our Get Fit Sanely series. (If you missed it, go back and check out the informal chat I posted on Friday with lead producer, DJ Cashmere). This is the third time we’ve done Get Fit Sanely, and in this go-round, we’ll be covering not only longevity but also ozempic, exercise, and the Buddhist case for laziness.
In this episode we talk about:
The origin story of the Blue Zones
The nine common denominators, or Power Nine, to longevity.
The surprising information about much maligned foods such as pasta and bread
Why trying to pursue good health can actually work against you
Why the single most important factor in longevity isn’t advertised on instagram
Tips for integrating Blue Zones wisdom into your daily life, including designing a life where you move more naturally
And some of the critiques and controversies surrounding his work
