100 Not Out

Biological age testing is all the rage at the moment. Recent media coverage raises some good points about the ease of confusion, in spite of and perhaps because of the influx of information that we are constantly bombarded with.  Damo has a long history in biological age testing and as a result can give some important context to what was measured 30 years ago compared to what is measured today - a...

A regular listener of the podcast (shout out to Ryan) has sent us through an email about friendships – and what do when you’re the one doing all the organising and keeping the group together. It’s a position many people find themselves in. If you’re the connector of your group, you’d be forgiven for having moments of “stuff it, I’m doing this anymore” when it feels like people take your role for g...

It’s not an understatement to say if it weren’t for our guest on 100 Not Out today we may never have had some Winter Olympic heroes like Steven Bradbury, Zali Steggal, Alisa Camplin, Lydia Lassila, Torah Bright and so many more ...   Geoff Henke AO is a seminal figure in Australian winter sport, with a multifaceted legacy as both an elite ice hockey player and an influential sports administrator ....

In this heartfelt and energizing episode of 100 Not Out, Marcus and Damian switch things up with Damo taking the agenda and Marcus firmly in the hot seat.  The duo reflect on Marcus’ journey as a speaker, his passion for energising audiences about the art of ageing well, and the secrets behind his ever-present enthusiadsm.

Damo has found a new love in his local area – The European restaurant! He has cheekily announced them as a new sponsor of the podcast!  But part of the magic of the new establishment is a chance meeting Damo and his wife Amber had of a 97 year old gentlemen with a fascinating life story to tell.  How did this conversation happen? And why is it so important when mastering the art of ageing well? Al...

In this episode we take a deep dive into the topic of control and its impact on longevity. Reflecting on last week’s interview with centenarian Henry Martell, the conversation explores which aspects of health, wellbeing, and aging are truly within our control, and which are simply part of life’s roulette. Key Talking Points Rule Breaking & Longevity: Marcus and Dr. Damian discuss the ‘rule-bre...

Today’s episode is a special one — a rare opportunity to sit down with a couple whose lives span a century of history, love, adventure, and service. William “Henry” Martell has worn many hats in his 100 years — soldier, hotel publican, cocoa planter, university lecturer, and proud grandfather. Born in 1924 in Haberfield, Sydney, Henry’s life has taken him from the beaches of Manly to the jungles o...

This is a deep and meaningful one! We haven’t recorded together for a month so we are chomping at the bit to discuss all things longevity … and we end up talking about life, and what makes it fulfilling. Particularly habits, and the ones that let us down. Damo reads out Portia Nelson’s Autobiography in 5 short chapters. See the 5 short chapters here.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23621941-a...

On this episode we kick things off with a (hopefully) humorous and relatable story about early morning flights, canceled plans, and the realities of travel. As we reminisce about our recent Melbourne meetup, the conversation quickly turns to a deeper theme: the many different paths we can take in life and longevity. Marcus uses his airport ordeal as a metaphor to explore the idea that there’s neve...

In today’s discussion, inspired by a provocative Instagram post from Dave Asprey, the duo explores the peculiar claim linking frequency of male ejaculation to health and longevity. As they dissect the math and the motivations behind these claims, Marcus and Dr. Damien grapple with the broader implications: Are social media and the digital world leading us astray with confusing and clickbait longev...

After what will be 10 years, we have made the difficult decision to bring to an end our 10 Day Longevity Experiences to the European Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia.    Not because we don’t love it, and not because it’s not a life-changing bucket list trip of a lifetime.    More than anything, and especially given we are a podcast dedicated to time (these days called longevity), our family and b...

Last week’s incredible episode with  Teun Toebes  showed just how wrong we (or at least Marcus) had been about dementia. After years of calling dementia the worst way to die, right at the end of the episode Teun challenged that perspective. This young man who spent 3.5 years living in a nursing home and with people with dementia, not only taught us the power of treating older people like human bei...

Today, we are shooting over to (Netherlands) where we are joined by an incredible young man. At just 21, after finishing his nursing degree Teun Toebes made the bold decision to move into a nursing home -, living alongside people with dementia to understand their world from the inside. His firsthand experiences have fueled his mission to break stigmas and push for a more humane, inclusive approach...

What a time we’ve had delivering 100 Not Out to you for 12 years!

On this episode we share our thoughts on the future of longevity and how N...

In two weeks time we will be releasing our interview with Teun Toebes, award-winning film-maker who lived in two nursing homes across 3.5 years - out of choice. At just 26, Teun is creating a tidal wave of change across the world as we question how we care for, love and support older people - particularly those with dementia. It’s so easy to think of this about our parents or grandparents; but dep...

When will ageing well become urgent?   That’s the question we pose and discuss on today’s episode.   Most people are hoping they’ll age well; yet most people believe they’ll end up in a nursing home.   We are confused and conflicted on this ageing adventure, and on this episode we discourse the intense importance of excelling at all areas of life, and not just one or two, in order to truly master...

Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix has caused the resumption of a conversation that we first had on  Episode 105  nearly 10 years ago. The perception of wellness is taking a beating, and it’s all down to the behaviour of a few. In the latest instalment of the issue is Netflix’s mini series Apple Cider Vinegar, which is covering the Belle Gibson story along with the late Jess Ainscough. Some find it un...

When Roger Bannister ran a sub 4-minute mile for the first time in 1954, he did what no one on planet earth had ever done before. No one believed it was possible. And interestingly, as soon as he achieved it, running a sub 4-minute mile became suddenly achievable. His record lasted just 46 days. Today, the world record is 3 minutes 43 seconds. So, when Damo almost cracked the 4-minute mile equival...
