100 Not Out

Judgement. It’s everywhere. You get judged on a daily basis, perhaps on a minute by minute basis, and mostly without your knowledge. Often you get judged by the people you know and love and that can hurt the most. On this episode of 100 Not Out, we share some personal stories on being judged and what impact it can have on personal fulfillment. We share our own tips on how to minimize judging (it w...

A number of the graceful agers and 100 Not Outers we interview and speak about on the podcast love to sing and dance. We see the joy and love of singing and dancing in Ikaria on our Longevity Experience at the panigiris, and all longevity cultures have a strong element of singing in their community spirit. To share with us why this is and how good singing is for personal wellness we’re going to ch...

There are so many wellness “experts” these days it can be difficult to know who to follow. On this episode we discuss what some of the signs are of a rat in the wellness world. Who can you trust and who can you unfollow? Here are some of the signs we discuss – How long have they been eating that way / moving that way / thinking that way? Is this just their latest fad or crash diet that they are sh...

Marcus often wonders if modern herbalism is just another fad or way to make people feel like they’re not doing something they think they should. We look at the 100 Not Outers and wonder how much herbalism is a part of their life, and if it’s something only to be used in times of poor health or as part of a healthy lifestyle. To discuss all of this and more we welcome one of the newest members of T...

We are blessed to have Dr John Demartini join us for the THIRD time on 100 Not Out in this special 2-part interview. Dr Demartini’s work gets a regular mention on our podcast but it would be unfair to Dr Demartini and our listeners – especially the new ones -if we didn’t provide some context as to why we hold him in such high regard … As a young child, John Demartini wore hand and leg braces to co...

If you’ve listened to recent episodes of Up For A Chat or The Wellness Guys , you will know that both Damian and Cyndi have been over in Anaheim for Natural Products Expo West, the largest “natural” food expo in the world.

Like it or not, most people that go on a diet don’t keep it off. The longer it goes, the harder it gets for most people. That’s why Jenni Andrews is an inspiration. She turned her life around age 54.

Not only has she lost 30 kilograms in that time, she has kept the wei...

Karly Nimmo is going grey. She’s had enough of the rinse, enough of the regular trips to the hairdresser, enough of the time and financial cost of holding on to a more youthful look. Not only is Nimmo going grey, she’s documenting it on Instagram . She may call it ungracefully grey, we like to think it’s very graceful. With a courage not many choose to unfurl, Nimmo is sharing the ups and downs of...

After talking it out, there were 8 specific actions Damo took in order to best deal with his challenge whilst on holiday. But it wasn’t just what he did (or didn’t do)....

It seems that the longest-lived people with the most fulfilment in life are those that forgive easily. Dig deeper and it’s the very same people who have had experiences in their life that seem very difficult to find peace or grace with. The longest-lived, most-fulfilled people have truly used life as one long personal growth seminar. They have faced challenges and still come out the other end brim...

Marcus recently came across this BBC article, discussing some of the suggested reasons women live longer than men.

Do you ever feel like every element of life is researched to within an inch of its life, costing trillions of dollars to taxpayers around the globe, and for what? Well, Damian for one has had enough and shares his thoughts on this episode. The topic of the media – and hanging on to idealistic beliefs around their role in society – also dominates the conversation. Our views on aging, and the path t...
