Join us for a conversation with Michelle Tollefson, a physician specializing in lifestyle medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology. Michelle shares her transformative experiences visiting Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s Blue Zones where people live longer, healthier lives. We’ll explore how these communities’ habits align with the principles of lifestyle medicine, her personal health journey as a cancer survivor, and the potential of Blue Zone certification to revolutionize health care.

Mentioned on the show:

Become Certified in Lifestyle Medicine Practice: https://lifestylemedicine.org/certification/

Blue Zones Partnership: https://lifestylemedicine.org/blue-zones-partnership/

Michelle Tollefson is a lifestyle medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Blue Zones uncovered: a physician’s first-hand experience.”
