Blue zones multiply for healthier lives: Amy Tomczyk at TEDxMontclair

TEDxMontclair 2011 featured Dan Buettner's TED talk video on the Blue Zones, communities around the world where residents live longer, healthier lives. The Blue Zones model of longevity and well-being has since been applied in other communities to create environments of health. Amy Tomczyk has worked with blue Zones since 2006 as Director of Outreach and Education. Amy knows first hand that shifting the focus from individual responsibility to evidence-based strategies to optimize one's "life radius", people can reside in healthier places where they live, work and play.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
