  • Not time but now

    Normally I can stick with an episode despite many instances of overtalking. But I could not finish this one- not sure what the intended point of this episode was- Dan got a schooling about divorce and the conversation jumped all over the place. Generally I get something out of this podcast and appreciate the variety of guests.

  • Best overall health/well-being/nutrition podcast I listen to! And I listen to a lot!

    Hi Dan. I have watched your blue zones. Netflix show twice and will probably watch it again sometime as it is so entertaining and informative and you are the consummate host. I faithfully listen to your podcast every week and delight in your pleasure in interviewing the variety of people that you have on. I just finished listening to the one with Dr. Robert Lustig who I hadn't heard in years and I'm going to be ordering his book today. Such incredible information delivered in a humourous manner... more

  • Awesome podcast

    I really love the podcast. I am trying to change my life for the better based on some of the information shared. For next season, please bring Michael Pollan on to your podcast. His message about food is fantastic and can inter-relate with the blue zone discussions.

  • Science based and useful

    I felt compelled to to say thank you for representing the plant based community in your recent interview with Dr. Rocio on the theme of GLP one. I am a plant-based nutritionist and I was rolling around in my chair listening to her talk about muscle mass on a plant-based diet. This is unfortunate information getting out there and I’m glad you said that likely the healthy plant based folks are not the ones in her office. It is so important to dispel this plant based protein myth. I live in Mexico ... more
