100 Not Out

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...

The Longevity Film has just been officially released, and we are thrilled to interview the film’s director, producer and major star, Kale Brock. Fresh from the success of The Gut Movie, Kale has synthesised his experiences from three of the world’s Blue Zones. These areas of the world (in Kale’s case, Okinawa in Japan, Ikaria in Greece and Loma Linda in America) experience greater quantity and qua...

A special episode for you this week. Marcus shared the Five Longevity Lies at this year’s Wellness Summit. We believe so many mistruths about ageing well – the five big ones formed the basis of Marcus’s presentation. What ones are you buying into? What lies are holding you back? Is your future potentially negatively impacted because of these limiting beliefs? As always, examples from 100 Not Out a...

After 8 years,  half a million bags of cereal and 10 million servings of Forage, Damian has made the tough decision to close the doors. Using these recent events we discuss the process it takes to make a tough decision – the realisation that one needs to be made, the angst of making it, and then finding the courage to commit to it and go public. We all must face tough decisions in our life. Someti...

Is longevity a popular topic? While anti-ageing is a multi-billion dollar industry, there is massive different between quantity of life and the preservation of youth. On this episode of 100 Not Out we discuss what makes longevity appealing, why it’s not for everyone, and the elephant in the room – who wants quantity of life if quality if life is terrible? And the point? Do whatever it takes to cre...

There are five Blue Zones as designated by National Geographic and the Blue Zones team. Asia is represented with Okinawa, Japan; America has Loma Linda, California (predominately a seventh-day Adventist vegetarian community) and South America has the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica (where corn is their staple). Europe is fortunate to have two Blue Zones – the Greek island of Ikaria and the Italian...

Marcus & Damo are back from Ikaria and have a little post-Ikaria blues. That doesn’t stop them chatting up a storm on just why such a powerful travel experience has left such a mark. For example, Damo experienced immense joy in cleaning the streets of Nas the day after the panigiri. Marcus had a smile from ear to ear when he arrived at Seychelles Beach alongside the Aphrodites (our group name...

On our final night in Ikaria, we are joined by Thea Parikos. Thea has been featured on the podcast many times before and is the magic that allows us to form strong bonds in the village of Nas, get involved in the island and create a true Longevity Experience. As one of our attendees, Shelby, this year exclaimed, we are travellers to the island, not tourists. We’re not walking around waving a big r...

Welcome to part three of our interview with Marika on her patio in the village of Nas, Ikaria. We are here in Ikaria for the third time and we continue to learn incredible lessons. Our attendees this year are nine women – who have called themselves the Ikarian Aprhodites (who is the Greek Goddess of Love & Beauty) – and they join us in this chat with Marika as we explore grief, socialising, ha...

Welcome to Part 2 of our 3-part series with Marika. Marika is an Ikaria local about to turn 88. Her quality of life far exceeds that of many people in their 50s and 60s, and we have been fortunate enough to spend an hour with her on her patio, flanked by her family and friends. On this episode, we discuss Marika’s attitudes towards food, including her daily diet, the use of herbal teas, remedies f...
