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

You know, one thing you framed it, of course, the U.S.

health system is at a real disadvantage because we don't.

treat people as a population.

We have insurance companies and all sorts of gouging and there's no, this make America healthy again line.

I mean, come on, help me.

But if you go to other countries, you know,

the UK, a lot of countries in Europe and Asia and Canada, they have a population health incentive, right?

And they would be more likely to adopt the lifestyle factor primacy that basically the things that you're trying to, that you espouse and you try to implement.

Do you think a future of the Blue Zones would be to go to countries where there'd be a lot more receptivity because they do care for their population rather than here in the U.S.

Yeah, well, I think you have shown now over an extended period of time, and it sounds like from this recent back and forth that it's going to go up at another level, that you're really bringing the lifestyle factors that are critical as mainstream as you can in cities,

now more recently, perhaps in universities and other places.

And so, you know, you've been a champion of this and it's important to emphasize it because there's so many hucksters that are showing all these things that have no evidence.

I think the evidence that we would agree for the importance of these lifestyle factors for promoting healthy aging, healthspan, for not losing those 15 years between age 65, when the average American

already is the end of their healthspan because they have a major chronic disease, the life expectancy 80 or so, a little less in the U.S., those 15 years are because the difference, those years lost between healthspan and lifespan, a lot of that can be reduced just by working with lifestyle factors.

And you've been on this.

I'm totally with you.

But what I would say, when I use the term lifestyle, you made me remember from super ages.

I meant lifestyle factors.

lifestyle plus, because as we agree, the environment.
