Well, there's all sorts of common characteristics of the blue zones, right?

They don't eat a lot of ultra processed food.

They have

a huge amount of dietary diversity they have a lot of emphasis on family and relationships and love they spend a lot of time outdoors but they also move and they move on a regular basis we were joking how i was hiking the last time i was talking to you i'm walking on a treadmill now when you walk into my office or just about any room of the house

There is an opportunity to turn off a few features of smart appliances or even install a few dirty electricity filters in some corners of the office or the bedroom here and there.

And then I guess one last thing that we haven't really talked about yet, but that you should definitely take into consideration is getting your water tested.

Most people right now are pretty aware.

There's like bars hanging from the doors, those gymnastics rings hanging from a balcony, and there's a treadmill in front of the desk, and there's kettlebells in the corner of a few of the rooms.

Standard municipal water supply coming out of the tap isn't ideal when it comes to microplastics and metals and your neighbor's pharmaceuticals and whatever else is in the water supply.

And it's hard to like walk through the house and not feel as though you couldn't at any point have a movement snack opportunity.

But countertop filter, under the sink filter, we have gone whole house filtration with both of our homes, creme de la creme being reverse osmosis to just get as many of the nasty things out of the water as possible is another thing to consider.

So I pack the home, which is also where I work, such that a standard formal routine

workout at the beginning or the end of the day is an option, not a necessity, because I've kind of hacked my environment to be able to move all day long.

So if we were to go down and make a list, it'd be electricity, light, air, water, chemicals like mold and mycotoxins.

And then you mentioned Dan Buettner and the idea of the blue zones.
