Dan Butner's Daily Routine

Dan Butner, the National Geographic fellow and founder of the Blue Zones Project, shares his daily routine and how he incorporates the lessons from Blue Zones into his own life. He wakes up naturally, exercises by walking or swimming along the beach, and enjoys his morning cup of coffee. He follows an intermittent fasting schedule, eating his first meal at midday and taking a 15-minute nap in the afternoon. He works for about four to five hours a day and engages in physical activity that he enjoys, such as playing pickleball or riding his bicycle. He prioritizes socializing with friends every night and goes to bed by 11 o'clock to ensure a good night's sleep.
