Welch speaks with Carol Amendola D’Anca, a board-certified and licensed clinical nutritionist who specialises in longevity and the role of high-quality extra virgin olive oil in long-term health. Drawing from her clinical background and her experiences visiting longevity regions in Italy — including the Blue Zone of Sardinia — Carol explains why olive oil is such an important pillar of the Mediterranean diet. But as she points out, longevity in Mediterranean cultures goes far beyond food alone. During the conversation, Alan and Carol also reflect on their personal connections to southern Italy, particularly the Naples region, and how daily lifestyle habits — walking, community, shared meals, and time outdoors — contribute to healthier and longer lives. Carol also shares practical guidance for choosing high-quality olive oil, explaining common mistakes consumers make when buying olive oil and how to read labels more effectively. She discusses why harvest dates, bottle type, and freshness matter, and offers tips for storing olive oil properly to preserve its nutritional benefits. The episode highlights how small lifestyle choices — from the quality of ingredients to the way people gather around the table — can have a meaningful impact on long-term health and well-being.
