Health. Longevity. Happiness. These characteristics define the Blue Zones, places around the world where it’s not unusual for people to live—and live well—beyond 100 years of age.

Mayo Clinic Study with Dr. James Levine

Salo also collaborated with Dr. James Levine and the Mayo Clinic to measure the impact of movement at work on weight loss. While we lost pounds and inches, we also packed on a measureable increase in employee productivity and firm-wide profitability.
