“Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people around the world to understand what really helps us live longer, happier lives,” Buettner said in a statement. “Now, with the support of Lemonada and Intuitive Content, I’m honored to bring those lessons to an even wider audience. This show is about sharing actionable, science-backed ways to add more healthy years to your life, and it’s probably not what you think.”

The first two episodes of “The Dan Buettner Podcast” will be available on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes releasing weekly. The series is produced by Intuitive Content with Lemonada Media overseeing ad sales, marketing and distribution.

Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO of Lemonada Media, said, “Dan is such a powerhouse in the world of healthy living, and we are so excited to have him join the Lemonada family. We love how accessible, practical and empowering his philosophy is, and we can’t wait to share these conversations with our listeners who are always simply trying to make their lives better.”

Buettner is the founder of Blue Zones LLC, a company that works in partnership with city governments, hospital systems and insurance companies to implement insights in Blue Zones to help make cities healthier. Additionally, his latest book, “Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals; 100 Recipes to Live to 100,” will be released on Sept. 2.

Patrick Weiland, President of Intuitive Content, added, “Podcasting is the natural next step for us. It lets us work with new creative partners and deepen the relationships that have always fueled our success. This isn’t just a toe-dip into audio. It’s a bold new vertical for us, shaped with the same creative ambition and commitment to excellence we bring to everything we make. With Dan as our launch partner, we’re making a clear statement that we’re here to lead, not follow.”
