Talk Story with Guy
Meet Blue Zones Project Champion, Guy Hauaino
| Left: Guy before discovering Blue Zones Project. Right: Keaau High School Vice Principal Paul McCarty and Guy. Paul helps to lead the effort at Keaau High School towards becoming a Blue Zones Project Approved™ school. |
Guy Hauanio, a security guard at Keaau High School, was first inspired by the Blue Zones® story at work, where he first learned about Blue Zones Project®. After hearing the presentation, he decided to incorporate a plant-based diet into his lifestyle. Though it was difficult giving up kalua pig, lau lau, and other local favorites, Guy made small changes to begin eating smarter and healthier. Now, he chooses whole foods and vegetables and cooks with water instead of oil.
