At 44, Dr. John Day was overweight and suffering from insomnia, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and on six medications. He knew he needed to make a change. While lecturing in China, he heard about a remote mountainous area known as Longevity Village, which is a wellness Shangri-la free of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, depression and insomnia, where living past one hundred -- in good health-- is not uncommon.

In the hope of understanding this incredible phenomenon, Dr. Day, decided to spend some time in Longevity Village. He learned everything he could about this place and its people, and met its centenarians. His research revealed seven lessons that work in tandem to create optimal health. He applied these rules to his own life, and 6 months later, he’d lost thirty pounds, dropped on hundred points off his cholesterol and twenty-five points off his blood pressure, and was even cured his insomnia.

His new book is called The Longevity Plan and you can learn all about it in today's episode.
