Dan is a National Geographic Fellow and multiple New York Times bestselling author (The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest, Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way, The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People).

He has discovered five places in the world ­– dubbed blue zones – where people live the longest and are healthiest: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece, and Loma Linda, California.

Over the new vegan menu from Chef Leslie Durso at the Four Seasons Santa Barbara, Dan sits down with Elysabeth to discuss what lifestyle choices the people from these places have made to allow them to live long, healthy lives. Hear Dan’s recommendations for how to get on track for healthy living and how he researched all the recipes for his newest New York Times bestselling book, Blue Zones Kitchen.

A vegan chef and wellness expert, Leslie is the glowing face of a fresher plant-based movement that refuses to compromise style for sustainability. Leslie works as a consulting chef for hotels, resorts, and restaurants around the world and is currently the vegan chef at the Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico and the Four Seasons Resort, The Biltmore, Santa Barbara.

Plant-based Lasagna* and Tempeh Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado & Tomato sandwich are just two of the dishes by vegan chef Leslie Durso that Dan and Elysabeth dive into at the glorious Four Seasons-Santa Barbara.

*According to Elysabeth, this signature dish from Leslie’s Vegan Menu at the Four Seasons-Santa Barbara is the best Lasagna she has ever had.
