Yesterday, I had the honor of being invited by to join his podcast,
I first met Dan in Dubai last October at a conference. I had followed his work for years and was deeply fascinated by his research on the Blue Zones.
When I introduced myself, I shared that I had written a book on GLP-1 medications and would be speaking the next day. He graciously came to my talk, and told me afterward that it changed how he thinks about GLP-1s.
That moment stayed with me.
Dan has spent his career showing us how nutrition, environment, and community shape longevity. I see, every day, the reality of a global obesity crisis and how GLP-1 medications are currently one of our most powerful tools to change that trajectory.
The truth is: both perspectives are necessary.
Ideally, we would all live in environments that naturally support health, places that resemble Blue Zones. Dan is working to build more of those environments.
And I’m working to help patients become healthy enough to thrive within them, now and for generations to come.
Because the ultimate goal isn’t just treatment.
It’s creating a world where health is the default.
A world that feels like one global Blue Zone.
You’re going to love this conversation.
Thank you, Dan.
