Our Model of Care
You can live like the longest-lived people in the Blue Zones.
Blue Zones Health brings together the magic of the Blue Zones’ Power 9® into primary care and your Life Radius® leading to longer, healthier, and happier lives.
Residents of the Blue Zones live in very different parts of the world, yet they share nine commonalities that support their longevity and overall well-being – the Blue Zones’ Power 9®.
What is the Blue Zones’ Power 9®?
Live better, longer™ by applying these habits of the people who have lived the longest.
Under the guidance of a Primary Care Provider, our integrated care team uses the Power 9 principles to help guide your health journey.
We engage in meaningful discussions with you and use various assessments to fully understand your individual health needs.
- Move Naturally – incorporate movement into your daily activities
- Purpose – live life with purpose
- Down Shift – take time to intentionally relax and reduce stress
- 80% Rule – don’t over eat, eat until you’re 80% full
- Plant Slant – make sure your diet includes mostly fruits and vegetables
- Friends at 5 – unwind in the company of your friends
- Right Tribe – surround yourself with supportive people who are optimistic
- Loved Ones First – our families (blood or chosen) are of the utmost importance, make time for them
- Belong – avoid being isolated, participate in the community and maintain friendships
Blue Zones Life Radius®

These personalized care recommendations, which are driven by the Power 9 principles, will help you to make small and easy changes in your daily habits too.
Our care team will teach you how you can enhance your home setting to encourage healthy eating and incorporate more natural movement.
You’ll also learn about opportunities to meet new people and expand your social circle by engaging in the community, and how to identify, or focus on your life’s purpose.
