Blue Zones: A passport to a longer life

About this episode

Dr Nic explores the science behind Blue Zones and the longevity lessons we can apply to our lives.

We’re packing our bags and taking a trip to the world’s famous Blue Zones – countries where people are living longer, healthier lives. Dr Nic looks at the science of what’s actually going on – and how we can get a piece of the action. She breaks down the real longevity lessons behind these “magic kingdoms of eternal life,” from whole-food diets to everyday movement, and a genuine sense of purpose that show up again and again in Blue Zone populations. She also explores what’s just romance vs what you can realistically apply to your own life no matter where you live.
