Dr Werness will discuss his revolutionary work with Raleigh-based Akea to design a whole food nutritional supplement that incorporates the nutrients and foods consumed in longevity hotspots. He closely compared the lifestyle choices of people in these hot spots with the average American lifestyle and helped design a wellness protocol called the BluePrint for Life. Offering simple suggestions for integrating five lessons into our daily lives, the BluePrint for Life encompasses: movement, nutrition, connection, relaxation and purpose. When applied concurrently these principals set the stage for optimal health.
