100 Not Out

More and more research today is showing just how effective having a pet is for a longer and healthier life. But at the same time, the longevity of pets themselves is under threat, as more and more pets are being euthanised each year for incontinence. Enter Emily Martin, Queensland’s young entrepreneur of the year and founder of Dundies. With 200,000 pets being euthanised each year, this episode ha...

Marcus has been listening to a number of podcasts featuring Dr Zach Bush , and one in particular was around the consumption of protein . As a former vegan, the protein conversation has always been there. On this episode Marcus grills Damian (see the pun there?) on all things protein – do we eat too much of it? What clues do our daily diets provide us with (Marcus shares his daily diet and asks Dam...

We’re in an ongoing conversation and pondering the role good food and stress plays in our efforts to age gracefully. There’s no doubt that a great diet becomes even more important as we age, because a poor diet contributes so heavily to chronic disease. Over a third of all cancers and diabetes are a direct result of obesity. And in the spirit of personal accountability, obesity is within our contr...

It’s another curly question on today’s podcast. Damo’s asked Marcus recently if he would live or die for his children. It may have been misinterpreted, but Marcus said he would absolutely die for his children! And then Damo said he would absolutely live for Jackson … and then the whole meaning of the question sunk in. So many of us live mediocre existences that we forget our children – or others –...

Marcus has had an interesting time in Sydney where his choice of milk with his coffee was heavily scrutinized by the barrista. Have our dietary choices created more segregation, or are we on the right track?

Marcus has just driven to Sydney and spent the morning listening to former guest Charlie Arnott have some tough conversations with his guests on his own podcast, The Regenerative Journey . Marcus and Damo then talk about their own tough conversations they’ve had with each other, and why it’s so important to not sweep things under the carpet, particularly with people that we love. At the same time,...

Does it feel to you like the fast-paced life of pre COVID days has quickly returned? We both reckon the pace of life – the longer work hours, the busy-ness, the bad habits, etc – are back with a vengeance, and it’s time to slow down. We share our own experiences with this as well as our daily habits in order to create slow. Easier said than done, but we reckon you will be able to relate! Enjoy the...

Damian and Marcus both feel that longevity, life design, and all things planning are becoming a lot easier than they were 6 months ago. You can now plan a holiday (particularly in Australia) with a high degree of confidence that it will go ahead. You can also begin to plan out wellness habits, social gatherings, and more. With all of this new found certainty, how do we design and craft our lives g...

Thanks to Sam Wood and the team at The Wood Life podcast for their permission to reproduce this conversation between Damian Kristof and Sam Wood on The Wood Life podcast.  Your chronological age may be increasing every year, but that doesn’t mean that your biological age can’t stay the same… or perhaps even go backwards! Damian Kristof joins Sam Wood to share his knowledge around longevity, and ho...

Chiropractor Dr Ali Young experienced severe burnout whilst raising children, working and running a household. Sound familiar? In this episode, our mutual friend Ali takes us through the rollercoaster of events – and learnings – around working, marriage, raising children, gaining health — and finding fulfillment. On the back of the release of her first book Work. Mama. Life Ali takes us through th...

Imagine if your partner loved your hobby. It doesn’t happen often in relationships, but it does stimulate the conversation about creating – and identifying – hobbies that we enjoy with our loved ones. Quality time is something that we all love – some more than others. But that doesn’t mean that every married couple wants to play golf together, or that every parent and child wants to go to the foot...

Jo Whitton, also knows as the founder of Quirky Cooking, joins us again to discuss a number of important topics. Jo’s son Isaac spoke at The Wellness Summit back in 2015 and all these years later, he’s health-conscious and living independently. On this episode Jo talks about the importance of patience, the long game, and the fulfilment one gets when seeing an older child value health. Jo’s most re...

Marcus is wondering how Damo continues to have high standards for his physical health as he gets older. The majority of humanity slowly give up on their physical health standards as they get older, losing muscular strength, becoming obese (through a lowered muscle to fat ratio), and all in all, losing the spark and vitality that they once had. As we get older, certain things become more difficult....

It’s hard to believe, but we are officially nine years of age here at 100 Not Out! And what a week it’s been! Marcus’s home town of Mullumbimby has been ravaged by the floods, a war is erupting in the northern hemisphere, and an icon of Australian society in Shane Warne died unexpectedly. As random and disconnected as those three events seem to be, there’s some burning longevity lessons and questi...

100 Not Out is about to turn nine years young! Next week, episode 468, marks our ninth year podcasting on the principles of longevity, and we are quite chuffed to still be here, with so much petrol in the tank with what we fill, is a very important message to share. On this episode we share just some of what we’ve learned so far, and what we think we will see in longevity over the coming years. An...

A recent conversation Marcus had with a friend regarding the age and function of his phone has stimulated a conversation on how we perceive our own hardware and software and ability to function as human beings. Are we telling ourselves “I’m too old to do X” as a result of what others have told us? Are our beliefs about getting older accurate? Do we too quickly jump to “never again” when we experie...

1 in 7 Australians are affected by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (also known as IBS) often with debilitating symptoms like constipation, diarrhoea and bloating.  Research is suggesting that one of the more successful interventions is a low FODMAP diet, but that can be filled with overwhelm and confusion … so in the spirit of 100 Not Out – and on the assumption that our listeners are one of the 1 in 7 o...

Many years ago Judith Ker was a young girl on her way to see Peter Pan with her family in Edinburgh. Little did she know that she was about to have her life’s work laid out for her. Judith was captivated by the dancers of the play and knew then and there that she too would become a dancer. Having carved out a full international career, Judith has been teaching ballet in Tasmania for the past 50 ye...

Today we discuss whether the research against the consumption of animal protein has lost its way. Whilst many in the nutrition world continue to promote a diet that excludes animal protein, we discuss whether the research is not holistic enough. Whilst the fast-food industry quite rightly gets the blame for its processing practices of animal protein, what about the traditional farmer who conscious...

With so much of our news feed – be it on television, radio, print or online – dominated by COVID, is it possible that we are being dumbed down by such a narrow ingest of information? After a conversation with an upcoming guest on 100 Not Out, we wonder whether we’re missing out on some inspiring stories of incredible people due to the triage of resources (especially by media companies) being direc...

Damo travelled to Europe over the New Year break and reports back on what international travel is like these days. What does it feel like to be on the other side of the world? Does it re-ignite the desire to travel more often. How surreal is it? To find out more about Damo head on over to www.damiankristof.com For more on Marcus go to www.marcuspearce.com.au Photo by John McArthur on Unsplash The...

Damo has come back from a trip to Europe and has tested positive to COVID-19. How is going? What symptoms has he had – and what most of us probably want to know – what has he been taking during this time? This episode is by no means prescriptive. It’s simply Damo sharing his experiences after testing positive to COVID-19. Given that we believe it’s important to normalise having COVID and not make...

We both believe here at 100 Not Out that having a goal – or goals – to aim at is important life. But we’re also of the view that there are many ways to go about setting up 2022 for victory, and knowing how YOU like to craft your year – and life – is incredibly important. From going with the flow to over-analysing every single-bitty detail of life, there’s often a happy medium that we each can find...

By popular demand it’s back again! Damo shares his insights on what 2022 will look like in the health and wellness world. To be specific, we look at diet and exercise – and what you think might be big in 2022 won’t be the case – according to Damo. COVID has changed the way we do health and wellness, and maybe for the better. When you listen to this episode, it’s more than likely that you’ll want t...
