Did you know Spain ranks higher than the U.S. in life expectancy — even though 20% of their population smokes?
In this week’s curiosity episode, we’re digging into why Spain is sitting pretty at #9 in global life expectancy. If you're a younger physician trying to build a better, less stressful life outside of corporate medicine, these insights aren’t just interesting — they’re clues. We're talking diet, disease, divorce rates, smoking, suicide, and more. Spoiler: it's not all about high-tech healthcare.
- See how smaller portion sizes and mid-day meals may be helping Spaniards live longer.
- Find out how many doctors they have per capita — and how it compares to us in the U.S.
- Learn what the top 5 causes of death in Spain can tell us about inflammation, lifestyle, and stress.
Press play and stay curious — because understanding why Spain lives longer might just help you live (and practice) better.
