00:07 What's the best tea to drink on a daily basis? Oh gosh, I'd wine

00:12 I

00:16 Have found that most of what people think lead to a long healthy life is misguided or just plain wrong

00:25 What if we could so this is really cool the blue zone project has been popping up across the country and here tell us about

00:31 the new blue zone project Scottsdale is Sarah Kearney who's very excited about this and I am too because

00:38 Last year your team gave me this book right here. It's called the blue zones challenge

00:44 It's a four-week program, which is really neat and it started get me very excited about this coming

00:49 Especially also seeing the documentary

00:51 So let's talk about the blue zone project because it's something really neat that's happening across the country

00:56 Yes, it is and it is really exciting that it's happening right in our own backyard

01:00 So really was founded on the original blue zones and our founder Dan Buechner who has traveled across the globe

01:06 Identifying these longevity hot spots in the original blue zones and what they found there is that it was more than just their genetics

01:14 It was and beyond their lifestyle behavior

01:17 It was their environment and their social surroundings and their networks that equated to living really long

01:22 Great lives free of chronic disease and illness

01:25 So now we're bringing it into American communities and we're practicing really the power nine principles around

01:31 How to live better longer and making healthy choices easier in the community

01:35 Yeah, you said something very important there and that was where the environment plays a big part in this and we're finding out that right here

01:42 In our own backyard. We have this amazing environment with the desert

01:45 with the high country the climbing the walking everything going on and

01:50 also to our health community because honor health saw this in

01:54 Texas was it and said whoa, this is something we need to do here for our of course

02:00 Arizona people absolutely and that's one of the things is that this work has happened in 75 communities across the country and

02:07 Fort Worth was the example that honor health really looked to as a major health care organization

02:11 Kind of spearheading that in that community and they had tremendous results and all the communities have had really great amazing results

02:18 So to be able to bring it here and in

02:20 Partnership with honor health and the Cigna group and goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona and the city of Scottsdale

02:25 We're looking to transform and have a community well-being initiative

02:28 That's really gonna change the landscape of how people can make choices and healthier choices easier

02:33 Yeah, all right. It is starting in Scottsdale next week is a big event

03:08 Which is really exciting and we know that anybody that lives works plays

03:12 Praise and Scottsdale has the opportunity to take this

03:15 These principles in this lifestyle behavior and even these environmental changes into their own homes and their own surroundings

03:21 So it's really gonna create a tremendous ripple ripple effect for longevity and better living
