What are “Blue Zones” and How Can Studying Them Extend Your Life?

Welcome Hudson Valley to this week’s edition of IN TOUCH, the award-winning public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations.  

This week on In Touch, I speak with Jim LaValle, clinical pharmacist, and author of, “Cracking the Metabolic Code.” Grocery prices are more mind-boggling than ever at the current moment. LaValle says you can stay healthy and budget-conscious, and it’s actually easier than you think! LaValle shares strategies for staying healthy on a budget. We discuss what "blue zones" are and how we can model our lifestyle around them. Not just that, we talk about the dangers and connections our diet has towards dementia. 

We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Jim and myself here on In Touch. 

This has been this week’s edition of IN TOUCH, the award-winning public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations. We want to give a big thank you to Jim LaValle. To find more on Jim LaValle, such as his book, “Cracking the Metabolic Code” and more, visit https://www.jimlavalle.com/
