    3 NEW Science-Backed Blue Zone Strategies Increase Your Lifespan & Happiness: Dan Buettner

    What if the secret to living a longer, healthier life wasn’t in a pill, supplement, or biohacking trend—but in your environment, relationships, and daily habits? In this episode, I sit down with Dan Buettner, National Geographic explorer, bestselling author, and longevity researcher, to break down the science of the Blue Zones—regions of the world where people live the longest and thrive well into their 90s and 100s. We dive deep into the data-driven habits that contribute to longevity, why your social circle can determine your health, and the biggest myths about aging and diet. Dan also shares his response to recent criticisms about the Blue Zones and reveals new emerging longevity hotspots based on his latest research. In this episode, we cover: ✔️ The 5 regions in the world where people consistently live the longest ✔️ Why community and social connection are more powerful than willpower ✔️ The ideal longevity diet based on decades of research ✔️ How your environment is the #1 factor in shaping health outcomes ✔️ The biggest longevity myths - and what actually works ✔️ How modern society is eroding these Blue Zone principles - and what we can do about it Who is Dan Buettner? Dan Buettner is a National Geographic fellow, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Blue Zones, a research initiative dedicated to understanding and applying the world’s best practices for longevity. His work has led to policy changes in over 70 cities to improve public health, and his Netflix documentary, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, explores these regions in depth. 👉 Connect with Dan Buettner: Website: www.bluezones.comInstagram: @danbuettner *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!  OneSkin | Topical Products for Healthy Aging http://oneskin.co/LWBW  Use code LWBW for 15% off your first order  *** If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like: Live to 100 with Secrets of the Blue Zones: What The Longest Living People Eat Daily | Dan Buettner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUHR8wwSVIs Ellen Langer: The Mind Can Slow Down an Aging Body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGpNMy1VxsY Most Extreme Anti-Ageing Routine: How To STAY YOUNG Forever & Look 18 Again | Bryan Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G-Ax76WwXM *** Fuel Your Mind Weekly: Subscribe to Our Free Mental Wellness Newsletter 🧠💪 | Join Now for Expert Tips, Inspiration, and Self-Care Strategies  https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/ Unlock Stress-Busting Recipes: Get My Top 5 Mood-Boosting Meals Now! 🍽️🧘‍♀️ | Click Here to Reduce Stress Deliciously  https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/ http://bit.ly/3HDuVxj *** Highlights: Introduction (00:00) Blue Zones – Secrets of Longevity (02:39) Three Essential Habits for a Longer Life (06:59) The Power of Purpose in Longevity (10:14) How Volunteering Boosts Well-Being and Self-Worth...

What if I told you that you didn’t actually choose your emotions? That your brain was wired long before you had any say in the matter? We got into the shadow self, why we resist certain emotions, and how evolution basically tricked us into feeling things like shame, guilt, and fear. Paul explains why we react the way we do, why some emotions feel impossible to control, and—most importantly—how we can work with them instead of against them. If you’ve ever felt like your mind has a mind of its own, this one’s for you. Listen to the full episode here.
