100 Not Out

We believe this is an entertaining episode! But only you will be the judge of that! Can you tell fake laughter from a mile off? Are you getting sick of the media spin (and do you have more of an eye for it than ever?). We continue to give secret shout outs to listeners that may – or may not – be listening. And as always, just as we find the graceful agers living with a great sense of humour, we ha...

On this episode we have a bit of fun 🙂 We record on zoom, put fancy backgrounds behind the video (you can watch this episode on Instagram and Facebook ) and talk about what is actually great in life at the moment, and what we are grateful for. Big shout out to Eddie Jaku, 100 Not Out legend who has been featured on episodes 103 , 104 and 244 . Eddie turns 100 on Tuesday, April 14. Send him your l...

When Gilah Leder was a toddler of just 16 months, her parents Aaron and Fourkeline (Lisa) Vanderhoek made the decision to put their young daughter into hiding in a bid to save her from the carnage we’ve come to know as the Holocaust. Gilah was sent to Laren in northern Holland to a Christian family – the Zwannikens – who already had seven children! Gilah’s parents returned more than two years late...

Damian shares some great immune-boosting tips on this edition of 100 Not Out. Whilst it’s easy to get caught up on all the things we cannot do at the moment, on this episode we focus on what we CAN do and finding the victories in those privileges. As always there’s good laughter, some humour (mostly bad jokes), shout outs to people who won’t listen, and shout outs to our tribe who do 🙂 Sending yo...

One could argue there’s very little explanation or education in the media at the moment – and also by the government – about how transmission takes place. On this episode, Damian Kristof explains the germ theory and how fear and stress lowers immunity. We discuss the media’s role in all of this, some outlets referring to scare-mongering (creating immune-suppressing fear for many). In light of the...

In a testament to podcast longevity, we are thrilled to turn seven years young! After 364 episodes you would hope that we’ve learnt something along the way. So, we make fun of ourselves pre-100 Not Out, reflecting on the beliefs we had about life and longevity, and ask you to share with us your learnings over your listening adventure. You can do so on Instagram , Facebook or via email . This episo...

Much has been said about the coronavirus. On this episode, Damian Kristof shares his professional views publicly for the first time and provides clarity on the virus itself. Marcus has a dig at the media coverage of the virus and humanity’s subsequent panic merchant behaviour. Whilst bringing some (what we think) much-needed humour in to the episode, we don’t use it to minimise the importance of c...

In 2018 Charlie won the prestigious Bob Hawke Landcare Australia Award, and it wasn’t a one hit wonder. Charlie’s been awarded Conversation Farmer of the year … the National Carbon Cocky award for Outstanding Leadership and has been featured i...

Marcus has recently finished facilitating The Wellness Breakthrough where attendees completed a rigorous breathwork session (facilitated by Guy Lawrence ) and spent 2 minutes in an ice bath. It got Damo & MP talking about our emotional range during times of stress and how we respond. Damo shares his bungee jumping experiences before the conversation turns to movement overall and finding out wh...

We were blown away by our conversation with Ivo Pirisi on last week’s episode of 100 Not Out. Ivo is our host at our Sardinian Longevity Experience in August, and if last week was anything to go by, we are going to learn a lot in Sardinia! Ivo didn’t believe that longevity is as simple as purpose, movement and engagement, given that in Sardinia, every village is so different to the next. So on thi...

This episode is a mind-bender! We are joined today by Ivo Pirisi – our host during the 100 Not Out Sardinian Longevity Experience. Dr Ivo Pirisi holds a PHD in biology and a specialisation in nutrition.  He worked as a researcher at the University of Cagliari (Sardinia – Italy) where he studied the metabolism of fats. Dr Ivo spent his childhood and youth in a very small village of inner Sardinia,...

A recent episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast featured Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey. The majority of the episode featured on Asprey’s belief that humans can become “Super Human” (the name of his latest book) and reach 180 years of age through the use of powerful biohacking techniques. We discuss all of this and more on this episode. Can we live to 180? Do we want to live to 180? What are...

What it takes to be considered a close friend is perhaps harder to attain than what you think (at least that was the case for us). But it’s not all that surprising. On the back of Marcus finishing a section of the book, we discuss four key components of being a great friend. The amount of quality time, ability to talk about the tough parts of life, and giving help rather than asking for permission...

This is the time of the year where it seems everyone is setting goals, and if not, being told to set goals. But is there a single way to do it? Damian and Marcus have used different approaches over the years with varied results, and they share them on this edition of 100 Not Out. Damian has already achieved one of his 2020 goals, which he shares with great excitement at the top of the show. *** BU...

Bruce Robertson’s dad died when he was three years of age. His Mum died whilst he was in Papua New Guinea, serving for Australia during World War 2. He’s had dengue fever, appendicitis, lived through the Depression years and experienced the ravages of war. Not just that, Bruce has played more than his part in preserving the freedom and civil liberties that we enjoy in Australia today. His story ha...

On this episode (whilst we enjoy the final days of our annual break), we revisit the most downloaded episode ever. Was it because we spoke about Jamie Oliver, or was it because we were entranced by Thea Parikos and Ikaria, the island where people forget to die. Listen in as we discuss longevity, the Jamie juggernaut, the magic of Ikaria and a whole lot more. And if you want to experience this magi...

Earlier this year on episode 302 of 100 Not Out Damian revealed his trends of 2019. It’s incredible how prophetic he is! He spoke of the rise and rise of vegan, the rise of food origin, and the rise of the keto diet. The year before he correctly spelled the death of the paleo diet from the mainstream vocabulary when it comes to diet. So … What’s in store for this year? Admittedly, we get a preoccu...

Damo has some advice for anyone dreading spending Christmas with relatives or people they don’t like or get along with … Suck it up. This is not the time of year to get embroiled in meaningless arguments of who is right, who is wrong, and who is better. Christmas is a time of year to give thanks for life, no matter how messy it might be. This type of gratitude and presence is an artform in itself,...

We’ve reached a significant milestone at 100 Not Out – 350 episodes! Thank you for your support of the podcast over almost seven years – we’ll have a bigger celebration when we hit 7 years in early 2020. To celebrate this milestone we’re sharing with you Damian’s presentation at this year’s Wellness Summit. It asks you to take even greater responsibility for your health by taking greater responsib...

Over the last supper of our 2019 Longevity Experience in Ikaria, Thea Parikos dropped a bombshell without even knowing it. She casually said that she doesn’t know anyone on the island with a gut health problem. And Thea knows everyone on the island. Our Aphrodites (we had nine women join us on our trip this year) were all aghast at Thea’s statement. So were we. You see, when we run events here in...

Shona Olykan joins us for the third time on 100 Not Out! Shona has been featured on episodes 111 and 199 . Shona recently turned 80 and to celebrate she has decided to join us in Sardinia next year for our first 100 Not Out Sardinian Longevity Experience.. This comes four years after joining us in Ikaria for our first Greek Island Longevity Experience. On this episode, we discuss what Shona has im...

24-year-old Annie Counsel was attending a screening of the newly-released The Longevity Film, when all of a sudden she begun to cry. Vision of Ikaria, the Greek island known as the island where people forget to die, had just appeared. Annie had been in Ikaria just a couple of months earlier on our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience. What was it that made Annie tear up? And more importantly, why is a...

On this episode, we discuss family dynamics – especially intimate relationships – and where resentment, anger, frustration may exist and how we process this. What’s clear is that many longevity cultures do not participate in the personal growth movement that so many of us do? Why is that? Does it make those cultures better or us worse? Marcus and Damian discuss their own experiences with personal...
