What if YOU could unlock the secrets of the longest-lived people on the planet?
 Well, I’ve got great news: You can.
 On this episode I do a deep dive on Blue Zones – the 5 geographic regions that are home to some of the world's longest-living people – and let you in on some secrets that could help YOU live the longest, healthiest life possible. 
 And as the only nutrition expert to spend most of their career living in a blue zone, I can tell you that these secrets are likely NOT what you’re expecting 
 I bust some of the biggest blue zone myths, reveal my #1 longevity-booster when it comes to diet, and share how YOU can set yourself up to live a long, healthy life – no matter your location. 
 I’ll also answer some of YOUR most pressing questions on the matter – straight from my instagram!
