100 Not Out

Does having more money make you live longer? On this episode we look at the countries leading the race in longevity (or more specifically life expectancy – click here if you want all the stats ), and what impact their wealth might have. We look at a list of the wealthiest countries (we have used GDP per capita as a marker – there are many more you could use), and then also to discuss what impact h...

David Sinclair is as dedicated to the fight against ageing as we are to the graceful ageing movement. On this episode we discuss the different approaches western medicine and biotech companies are taking to the fight against ageing, compared to the approach we speak about on this podcast. As we outline a number of times on this podcast, this is not a personal attack on Prof Sinclair or anyone with...

On this episode of 100 Not Out Damo gives a preview of his presentation at this weekend’s Wellness Summit.  Observing a health profession turn into an industry filled with apprentices feigning as masters (thanks largely to social media), Damo gives his views on how consumers can navigate the ever-tricky maze that is becoming the health and wellness industry.

A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald  on the vegan diet sparked the interest of Marcus & Damian, particularly for how well written and balanced it was. It described how the body changes under a vegan diet, and MP & Damo discuss in detail the changes at Day 0, Day 90 and Day 365. Having interviewed vegans on 100 Not Out including Mimi Kirk , David Wolfe and Ruth Heidrich , it conti...

We get into a deeper philosophical conversation on this episode, centred around Emerson’s one-liner “as the twig bends, so grows the tree.” Having recently returned from “the island where people forget to die”, we discuss – Have we fallen into the gap of thinking an area of our life is bad or average when in fact it’s incredible? What role has social media had in our desire to be “perfect”? Have w...

Marcus & Damian catch up for the first time since Ikaria. They’re excited to reconnect and talk passionately about the following – How much biohacking can we do on the gut? What are safe levels of pickled and fermented vegetables? What is the true purpose of fermented food? What other non-food sources of gut improvement can we look at? What level of fruit & vegetable intake Japan is recomm...

Hi 100 NOt Out listeners, Marcus here. I’m in Paris for three more days before returning home and have had plenty of thoughts buzzing around over the past six weeks in Europe. ON this episode I discuss three which have been major themes. The first revolves around the power of living in a village, the second is about my a-ha thoughts about movement, and the third about food. I hope you enjoy this e...

For the last 10 days Marcus and family have been in the Dordogne region of France, in the south west to be exact about 2 hours from Bordeaux and learning so much about the French culture. If you’ve listened to 100 Not Out for a while or heard Marcus speak before, you’ll have heard of Jeanne Calment, the oldest human being ever to lived, making it to 122 years and 164 days. The incredible Frenchwom...

Our Ikarian Invincibles – also known as the attendees of our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience – share their insights from the trip on this episode of 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.

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...
