Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer, Emmy Award-winning producer, and 5x New York Times bestselling author. He is renowned for identifying the five regions of the world-known as Blue Zones-where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives.

As the founder of Blue Zones LLC, Dan has worked with city governments, hospital systems, and insurance companies to transform communities by applying the longevity principles he uncovered in Blue Zones. Notably, in Fort Worth, Texas, obesity rates dropped by 3%, and the city projected $250 million in healthcare cost savings as a result of these initiatives.

To date, over 70 cities across the United States have adopted Blue Zones Projects, collectively improving the health of more than 10 million Americans. Most recently, Dan’s Netflix series, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones  received six Emmy nominations and won three.
