In this episode of the Dan Buettner Podcast, Dan is joined by world-record swimmer and health advocate Rip Esselstyn to discuss the life-saving power of a "PlantStrong" lifestyle. They explore the legendary research of Rip’s father, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, whose work at the Cleveland Clinic proved that heart disease—the leading cause of death—can be halted and even reversed through a whole-food, plant-based diet.

The conversation breaks down the science behind nutrition myths, specifically why plant-based proteins are superior to animal products and the role of "hidden disaster" molecules like TMAO found in meat and dairy. Rip shares compelling data from a 2014 study showing a 99.2% success rate in preventing further cardiac events among adherent patients. From practical tips for raising healthy children to the debate over oils and the Mediterranean diet, this episode provides an essential roadmap for anyone looking to optimize their healthspan and live to 100.
