Episode notes

Brett McCallum is back as a guest host, and he’s on a mission—to live to 100. The only problem? He’s never even heard of Blue Zones, the magical places where people regularly hit triple digits without turning into cranky old hermits.

In this episode of The Bare Facts, Sare breaks down the secrets of these longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Sardinia, Nicoya, Ikaria, and Loma Linda—where people somehow live longer without fad diets, gym memberships, or stress-induced meltdowns. From Ikigai (aka having a reason to wake up in the morning) to drinking just enough red wine to stay alive but not regret your life choices, we explore what actually keeps these people thriving.

Can Brett ditch the carnivore diet and start ageing backwards? Or will he realise that living to 100 means 40 more years of emails? Tune in to find out!
