Ground Truths · A Look Into the Blue Zones · 18 Jan 2026 podcast

And I was careful to say it's a new blue zone.

And by the way, I'm writing a book right now,

It'll be out in about a year with new Blue Zones, completely new metric.

Oh, got it.

A different category of Blue Zones.

Yeah.

Health adjusted life expectancy, which is number of years you expect to live, minus years lost to chronic disease, then minus years lost for major disability.

And there's a metric that measures that now.

So now, why not find places that do it better than any place else and learn from them?

That's what I'm focusing on right now.

And I'm focusing on working with...

as you well know, America's healthcare system incents sickness indirectly, but it really only pays for, for the most part, getting sick people less sick, whether it's heart disease, type two diabetes, dementia, cancers.

You know, we spend very little on keeping people well in the first place.

And what we do for Blue Zone Cities is,

our Blue Zone projects, we're trying to support ourselves by keeping people healthy.

There's no money for that.

There's very little money for that.
