How to Live to 100 (Without Trying)
About the session
Your odds of reaching 100 are written less in your DNA than in your daily habits, and science can finally name which ones matter. Physician Ingrid Yang dives into the world's Blue Zones, the handful of places where people reliably reach one hundred, to show what actually drives human longevity. She walks through four drivers: what these communities eat and how they eat it, why their movement is not exercise, how they achieve cellular maintenance, and one single factor that matters most. The result is a system, built daily over decades, that helps these populations thrive well past 100. Blue Zones were never designed. They emerged where people made simple, consistent choices across generations. The question for you is: what does your Blue Zone look like at home?
