Show notes

The world's leading expert on longevity, Dan Buettner, brings the Blue Zones concept home to his own family, interviewing his parents, Roger (90) and Dolly (87)—the original Blue Zone All-Stars—who share the counterintuitive secrets to a 66-year happy marriage and a 10/10 life satisfaction score. In this highly personal and wisdom-packed episode, Dolly and Roger reveal the foundational relationship advice that kept them together for two-thirds of a century, including their simple, non-negotiable rule to always kiss before going to sleep. You'll discover how their hard-working, mostly plant-based farm upbringing mirrored the habits of the world's longest-lived people, proving that you don't need to move to a remote island to master happy aging and live longer. Listen to hear Roger's surprisingly traditional courtship advice for modern daters, and learn the essential family secrets about acceptance, selflessness, and purpose that shaped Dan's own world-changing career in longevity. This is a powerful masterclass on family health and the true happiness formula from the people Dan calls the greatest experts in his life. Get an exclusive 5% discount on NordProtect plans.
