Exploring Americas Secret Town Where People Never Die

[@livingtheskylife]

It was such a gift to learn from this community and experience their vibrant way of life. The people of Loma Linda have such a special place in my heart!

[@SeekDiscomfort]

Thanks for being there with us! It was such an amazing experience!

[@gintama718]

I've been blessed!

[@MiguelHernandez-si3yt]

I've been following sky on IG for so long now. Love her sm! She's beautiful inside and out

[@amitk2017ak]

As a fan of both channels, this was really good to see. Keep up the amazing work.

[@tyruswatson2115]

Hey Sky, I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while. I enjoy your adventures and discoveries. I really appreciate your vulnerability and healing. You actually introduced me to Yes Theory with the Wim Hof video. It was a while later that I thought I had discovered Yes Theory/Seek Discomfort and became a fan. I’ve had a lot of challenges my whole life, including physical health. I’ve studied and tried a lot of things. What I understand about the blue zones really make sense with what I’ve learned including the science. Food, movement, enjoyment, community, meaning, etc. This month I’ve actually started doing Wim Hof’s breathing and some cold exposure on a daily basis along with some other things for the first time. It seems like it’s doing something that has never worked before. I think I’ve got an interesting life story, if you are ever interested. Also, it was extra fun to watch your videos in Sedona, where I lived for 15 years and seeing some of my friends including Rahelio and Troy Casey. What a nut!

[@iamthecatalyst.]

You guys gotta do a series of these…. One for every blue zone around the world….. this one and the Italy one were both great….

[@rai.b98]

It would be amazing to see them in Okinawa 😍

[@magdalenachrzan1151]

And their lifestyles were soo different 😂

[@AnaS-eh9vd]

Agreed!! That would be awesome

[@sophiefischel382]

yes theory did a video in the italy one!

[@Rudi_Mentary723]

@@rai.b98 They did Okinawa, Sardina and the one in Greece too !!

[@springvisuals]

12:20 tristan not realizing she was hitting on him was hilarious 😂 what a sweet, witty woman.

[@crazyfriends55]

As someone who is SDA and is so familiar with loma linda and the health practices it is very surreal to see yes theory cover the SDA church! I have been made fun of for being vegetarian my whole life or questioned for not drinking so it’s interesting to see it covered in a positive life!

[@ClassicAudiobooksInspirations]

Same here! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Nice surprise!

[@malloryheinbaugh7798]

I feel this. I am 5th generation SDA and I never thought I would see something like this covered by my favorite KZbin channel!

[@malloryheinbaugh7798]

In fact Loma Linda university has done some crazy surgeries for my grandpa!

[@adeline5182]

Wow, I’m glad I saw your comment!!! Me too, my grandparents grew up in Loma linda and it’s surreal to see my favorite yt channel cover it.

[@bren_sanz]

My grandmas lived up to 97 and 92. All the people from the video reminded me of them. They were full of life and were really independent for their age. They are and example for me in terms of how to live and how to love. So much to learn from them!

[@bradcacho1655]

I live in Loma Linda, and I can’t believe I missed you guys! We definitely have some Adventist Yes Fam members here in town! If, for some reason, you guys end up back here, we’d love to host you. Much love to you guys!

[@carolinekersey2981]

104 years old and she looks fantastic. God bless her. Life is taken for granted but so many, myself included but to see this community living such a beautiful life makes you realise life is for enjoying. Xx

[@Sam4G0d]

Oh this was so inspiring! It's sad that stress is such a big part of health problems, so many people can't help but stress in their daily lives :(

[@darnoc0933]

When that old man says "sky omg you look so beautiful" broke my heart what a sweet old man!!!

[@MrSpock369]

As a former SDA, this video brought back a lot of memories. My parents met an Loma Linda and for the first few years of my life we lived right next door to Loma Linda. We still go out and visit all the time and it is true, as much as the religion has its problems (like all religions do), the sense of community and a healthy lifestyle was truly something that I have never been able to get rid of and I’m so thankful to have grown up with those things.

[@tianabirmingham8606]

I'm former SDA too. Seeing the community highlighted here makes me sad to have left due to problems in the religion, the community was sometimes the best part!

[@TJMaxximalist]

I was born in Loma Linda in a SDA family. Became a lifelong vegetarian and grew up in a healthy lifestyle that prioritized the outdoors. Although my beliefs changed, I got to hand it to the community out there.

[@Nitti4n]

Religions don't have problems. People do

[@TishaTheBrave]

I was literally about to comment the same thing

[@TJMaxximalist]

I was born in Loma Linda and my entire family grew up in the SDA church. A vegetarian lifestyle, always being outdoors, and a close community goes a long way in living a long and healthy life.

[@delaneyissomewhere]

The way she said “you’re too kind girl” I love how life,y she is. They all look great

[@CountingCountries]

We try and complicate how to be healthy. Really it’s simple, eat healthy and be active. Thanks for the amazing video.

[@mindfulone_]

The content Yes Theory/Seek Discomfort makes is truly what life is all about. You all are such beautiful souls touching the lives of many. We love you all so so much! and the viewers have spoken. Time to start planning the trips to visit the rest of the blue zones!

[@dloadrussell]

I agree with an other comment here. We want a video for all blue zones. Come to Greece guys . I am expecting a video of you here for a long time 😅

[@livingtheskylife]

It’s my dream to visit all the Blue Zones! I would love to visit Ikaria, Greece 😊

[@dloadrussell]

@@livingtheskylife that's a nice bucket list 😅 I kinda feel obligated to visit Icaria because I am living here in Greece

[@annemacleod1421]

Celebrating Paul, God, faith, and community has been a worthwhile watch. The last segment with Selma is beautiful…Tristan, your response, “Am I familiar to you?” was a sweet response when there might be some memory loss. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

[@marc7148]

It’s crazy that about 15 minutes north of there is one of the most dangerous places in the US lmao San Bernardino

[@NadavJulius]

No way! Sky is a Yes Theory OG, nice to see her back

[@joybrainanuersymsurvivor]

my best friend used to live in Loma Linda and its true how the quality of life is great out there and the no smoking zone helps the air feel so much better. we need the rest of cali to get on this Loma Linda lifestyle!

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I think that older people really thrive if they live in caring and loving communities. Many people start slowly dying (as harsh as it may sound) when they stop working and deteriorate at a faster pace. Living in a community where you’re not lonely and have mental and physical stimulation might even be of greater benefit than clean eating. Imagine being old and still having people around you that challenge you mentally on a daily basis, instead of vegetating in front of mindless tv programmes.

[@dorincaragia8334]

As a subscriber since Deren and an SDA I am really happy that you covered our lifestyle and beliefs.

[@zacchaeusm4085]

I’m a Seventh-Day Adventist Pastor in Sydney Australia. Thank you for sharing this. We are really passionate about making our communities healthier and stronger for the human race. Cheers

[@mariellelopez7296]

Haven’t seen much content on Seventh-day Adventists. As an SDA, I’m happy to see you guys cover our lifestyle.

[@labbott3933]

Correction, Loma Linda, CA is 1 of 2 Blue Zones in the USA. The other is in Klamath Falls, OR. But Loma Linda was the first.

[@nicolenicolette3203]

My grandfathers mother is still alive to this day and shes now turning 104 this year...it is true about the diet part cause she eats a lot of vegetables and her meals have less salt in them and she drinks a lot of water and only tea no coffee,she sleeps early too she never go past bedtime and most importantly her faith a lot of people say my grandfather might live long like my Great Grandma too cause he follows her mums eating habits and he's really health concious 😊😊 I hope everyone lives healthy and long...

[@TheJessicahammerly]

I do believe that community and human connection is important because I've seen a lot of people live through so much but it's not until they are alone and feel like they've got nothing to do but give up that they pass away.. and it's so sad.. and I'm talking about ppl of diff ages but especially older ppl

[@tyruswatson2115]

Absolutely.

[@felixvecchiarelli6458]

Proud to be a Seventh-day Adventist!!

[@superymariowest2403]

This is the first Christmas without any family or friends. I'm going to the mountain for a hike. Merry Christmas everyone! Think positive and Seek Discomfort!

[@savannafilms23]

My fav video so far at Seek Discomfort’s channel! ❤️

[@ClassicAudiobooksInspirations]

They are Seventh Day Adventists. Just check their Encyclopedias of foods and their medicinal properties. I read all of that around 9 years ago and it changed my entire life. SDA born and raised. SDA for life! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@RichardSteffens]

WHAT no way I live in Loma Linda and often attend that church! Would have flipped to have seen y’all.

[@TheJessicahammerly]

Every other picture is Paul with a different girl! Lol Paul must have been a charmer! He's still charming now I can see it in the video!

[@vivifarcas7045]

Yeey Tristan! Lovely to see him in front of the camera! And a beautiful story, as always

[@777Bviews]

This is the first video where everyone actually seems to be genuinely happy.

[@fundude4566]

Loma Linda was also the first hospital to perform infant heart transplants and they have some of longest living transplants recipients because of it.

[@tristinbondeson76]

I partly grew up in Loma Linda and I got so yesterday when I saw you do the hike I did with my dad every other weekend!!

[@parknasty9400]

I live in Ventura County and I’m definitely taking a trip to Loma Linda for a weekend to check out the town and get to know some of the local residents!!

[@nunchucktaylor3488]

Italy and Japan have something to say to these people about their staunch opposition to alcohol. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from virtually everyone who’s lived past 80 (including my own profession as a bartender in a small town) daily consumption of alcohol seems to be one of the biggest keys to longevity.

[@leslietownsend6167]

My mom is a healthy 95 year old and has a whiskey drink every day for happy hour. Seems to agree with her! And she eats meat and ice cream daily 😊

[@MrMedalice]

Always fun to watch random stuff, but made professionally and enterntainment. Go and do some fuzy (funny/crazy) stuff in Finland!

[@GenXHeart]

So well done! Thank you, it was beautiful to hear this exists and even more beautiful you are spreading the word!!!

[@lilyw9324]

Thank you for your service Paul!! ❤

[@nerdycosplays123]

You guys should try switching professions with a random stranger for 24 hours.

[@mac23806]

Wow something so amazing that's so obvious that most adults struggle with smoking cutting that out no drinking alcohol and exercising who would've known that be the secret to living long. But seriously great video

I live here been living here since I turned 18 only 5 years ago still have never participated in a marathon. I did hike once but stepped on a 6ft rattle snake and haven’t gone back

Very cool! Good video yall!

[@TheNooners123]

I had someone close in my life when I was younger that lived to 101. I notice that eating vegetables is a key. Wish I could ask her but would love to know how long many of this community stopped eating meat. Sure many other addictions are in my life, but eating meat is a daily habit for me.

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

Unfortunately, not all diseases can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle. I never took drugs, used to be a rescue swimmer and studied at university. Unfortunately I got a chronic illness and lost my life. It can happen to anyone. And no eating XY doesn't cure my chronic illness. But I understand it's easier to assume if you live healthy it can't happen to you.

[@Akilan21]

Lost ur life eh

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

@@Akilan21 What else would you call being bedbound and disabled? I can't do anything of what I used to do.

[@tyruswatson2115]

I'm sorry. And yes, I agree. From my experience and research, I believe that trauma/CPTSD (complex)/developmental trauma are the main reason for chronic illnesses. I'd love for the word to get out more. It can be very tough. Best wishes on getting better.

[@jasonmoore3980]

This was dope. Also Tristan you rock.

[@fruiteeny]

Wow! It was only mentioned - as a side note - once, that they are actually vegetarians, not to mention, that many are vegans! Thankfully this one word made it in the quarter-an-hour documentary of the Seven Day Adventist Loma Linda residents, even though it was downplayed to such extent, my jaw dropped.

[@darnoc0933]

Have a great grandma still alive 98 young I guess by standards of great grandmother. She is coming down with dementia and I haven't seen her in so long and am afraid to go see her I don't wanna break down in front of her and feel like I will.

[@bobbylight1198]

Beautiful

[@XYoukaiX]

Well I for one don't get the reilgious stuff but I think the thing about the Community is a good point also something many people seem not to see is that often people in those communities work even in high age ! I have seen people detoriate so fast after finaly getting pension because they stopped doing stuff, like one former coworker had dark hair till the last day in his job, 2 month later I saw him having completely white hair. Have seen several of those vids about Okinawa and also stayed on some of the Okinawa Islands for a while while on working holiday and I can tell you that some of those 90+ years olds work harder then some young people in most other places.
