You’ve probably heard the story of the Blue Zones – those five places around the world where people supposedly live the longest.
But there’s something they rarely tell you:
Only one of those “Blue Zones” has been the subject of decades of real, peer-reviewed scientific research.
The others? They’re mostly magazine articles, built on storytelling and speculation – not data.
In my new video, I take a hard look at the Blue Zones hype and explain why Okinawa is the only one we can actually learn from. I dig into the science behind the Okinawa Centenarian Study – how it started, what it uncovered, and why its findings still matter today.
I also explain how vague, unproven claims about places like Loma Linda and Sardinia have become the foundation of modern diet advice – even though there’s no real science to back them up.
If you care about evidence-based nutrition and longevity, you’ll want to watch this one.
