OYC Miami embraced the power of healthy living by launching a 10-week wellness and cooking series inspired by the principles of the Blue Zones—regions around the world where people live longer, healthier lives.

We were honored to welcome Dan Buettner, founder of the Blue Zones movement and author of Blue Zones, who joined us alongside Chef Luis for a dynamic, hands-on workshop that kicked off our What’s Cooking, OYC? summer series. Together, they brought invaluable insight into the role food, community, and daily habits play in shaping long-term health and vitality.

Each week, participants gathered in the Boich Companies Creative Studio to explore global cuisines, practice cooking techniques, and build a deeper understanding of how nutrition connects to overall well-being. This series didn’t just teach recipes—it cultivated life-changing habits and meaningful conversations around health, family, and culture.

As we wrapped up the final session, we celebrated a season of growth, connection, and nourishment. Thank you to all our partners and supporters for making this transformative experience possible. Here’s to living longer, stronger, and together. 💙🥗🌍
