We were so lucky to welcome Elyse Elizondo and Kristi Conforti from the Blue Zones Project in Tuolumne County as our guests on the podcast this week to share about the theory of the Blue Zones and how the principles of these Blue Zones can contribute to a longer and healthier life.

Sue and I like to say that our joint intrigue of the Blue Zones brought us together as podcast co-hosts. So we are so excited to bring this topic to the podcast this week! Listen to hear our story of the role Blue Zones played in the fate of me (Caitlin) joining the Well2You podcast almost one year ago. It’s also a pretty small world story about how I happened across the Blue Zone Project Tuolumne County and found Elyse and Kristi. It’s like it was all meant to be to bring you this episode this week!

This is such a good episode! In it you will hear more about: 

What the Blue Zones are
The 9 principles of the Blue Zones (Lessons to living longer, better)
How you can integrate the principles of the Blue Zones into your life
What the Blue Zones Project is 
Some of the things being done by the Tuolumne County Blue Zones Project to impact their local community
Ways you can bring the concepts and ideas of the Blue Zones projects to your own community
