100 Not Out

A recent episode of the Channel Nine series –  Do You Want to Live Forever?  – discusses the importance of fibre and the recommendation to increase the intake of  wholegrains. Despite the food pyramid continuing to prioritize wholegrains, there is no doubt that the best source of fibre, both soluble and insoluble, will come from fruits and vegetables and not just a reliance on ‘healthy’ wholegrain...

When it comes to all things menopause, we could think of no one better to have on the show than Dr Andrea Huddleston! Dr Andrea is a women’s health, natural fertility expert and integrative chiropractor with a passion for helping women reach their health, hormonal and fertility goals. There is so much for us all to learn about menopause and Dr Andrea joins us today to help us understand the many s...

Today we are joined by the inspiring Eve Steel who shares with us her life journey, reverence for nature and her wisdom.  From growing up in England during the Second World War to being invited to Australia to teach where she was swept off her feet with the country and her future husband! From the power of purpose to the importance of not only getting to know yourself, but to also create a life fo...

We have received quite a few questions of late and this week’s episode we spend some time tackling some of those.  What is the difference between chronic and acute inflammation? Is Keto a long term solution? Is there a link between mindfulness and longevity? Does loneliness impact ageing? Thanks to Mary, Jacqui, Naomi and Dan for taking the time to send us their questions. Do you have a question f...

We receive plenty of feedback from our audience that one of the things they love about 100 Not Out is the banter and conversation between ourselves. So with that in mind, today we sit down and discuss the power of a conversation.  Have we lost the art of holding a conversation? Is it easier to send a text message or ignore the elephant in a room rather than having a healthy and robust conversation...

Following on from the first episode of Channel Nine’s series –  Do You Want to Live Forever  – we discuss what happens when diets go wrong? What do we do when we find that a ‘diet’ is no longer working and we are going backwards, in both our biological age and health? Is it enough of a prompt to make a change? If, like us, you are also watching Do You Want to Live Forever, and have some questions,...

The new Channel Nine series –  Do You Want to Live Forever?  – has given us much to talk about…and that’s just after the first episode! In exploring the quest for a longer life, Tracy Grimshaw and Dr Nick Coatsworth follow 8 Australians as they seek to understand if we can in fact rewind our biological clock through health interventions. Damian questions if the biological clock approach is the new...

In today’s episode we pay tribute to Michael Mosley who recently passed away at age 67. Michael was best known for popularising Intermittent Fasting with the 5:2 diet. Often using himself as the n=1 experiment, his research and published work was able to take complex subjects and break it down in a way that the masses could understand. He was able to bring about real change that has and will conti...

Well known in the surfing industry, today’s guest, Rod Perez, grew up in Brazil and now lives on the Gold Coast supporting professional athletes and everyday people to become their happiest, healthiest selves. Join us as we chat with Rod about his recently released book The Art of Longevity – and his core principles to apply across your life – from your habits, exercise goals, nutrition, lifestyle...

We got a lot of questions and feedback from our recent workshop, Blue Zones, Diets & Biohacks. One question in particular focused on how likely it is or isn’t to live like people in the Blue Zones.  On this episode we answer this question and many more, including Blue Zones and their diets, the role of genes in longevity and much more.    Wondering what workshop we are talking about? You can l...

We recently ran a live online workshop busting the 3 big myths around Blue Zones, Diets & Biohacking. During this live workshop we discussed:  ** Your genetics and ageing profile. ** To age or not to age like your parents? ** Why is it that Blue Zones residents experience less dementia, cancer and heart disease? ** The connection between diet and longevity. ** The role of supplements and bioha...

With the rising popularity of fasting, has breakfast been demonized unfairly? What does it mean to be a breakfast eater today? Is it eggs and greens to kickstart your day like Marcus or is it an Espresso or two to tide you over to your first meal of the day, sometime around lunchtime when the hanger kicks in?   Damo sees breakfast as an opportunity to provide fuel for the brain to get going for th...

Many years ago,  Greg McKeown  introduced us to the humble brag, but has the humble brag (we spoke about this on episodes  68  and  378 ) now found itself an older cousin called Urgency Culture? Do you find yourself unable to say NO just in case a better offer pops up and then find yourself over-committed and overwhelmed? Do you preface your answers to “How are you?” with ‘I’m busy!”. Do you drop...

Alcohol – What’s the truth? Does your body go into shutdown if you consume alcohol as Dave Asprey recently stated in  this Instagram post. There is truth in the fact that alcohol is a toxin and it’s a toxin to the brain and the body has to clear it. But should it be so demonized that it is to blame for Alzheimer’s, Heart Disease, Diabetes and Cancer?  Like most things, whether it be nutrition, mov...

Following a  recent instagram post  by Dan Buettner who introduced a medical doctor to rebut Dave Asprey’s claims about oats, we ask if we are about to see the longevity space erupt in war. We can’t be sure who is throwing the first grenade. Was it Dave Asprey or is it Dan Buettner?  Do we need to rush out and soak our oats for breakfast tomorrow to live to 100 and beyond? In our analysis of the B...

In a recent article , the oldest woman on the planet, María Branyas Morera, 115, said that the key to longevity is to stay away from toxic people.  We know that the quality of relationships can have a large impact on the quality of our health but why do we often find ourselves in toxic situations, unable to step away? Do we get stuck because we can’t see a pathway out? Regardless if the toxic rela...

This week we welcome long time listener, first time guest Anita Spehar onto the podcast. From working 10+hour days, 7 days a week to now traveling solo in her motorhome, Anita recognised that for much of her life she had been giving to others – from work to family and everything in between – and decided that for the next 12 months, she needed to make her life about giving to herself. The result? H...

A question we are often asked is Are the Blue Zones Dead? Settle in with a cuppa as we discuss whether, as the older people die, will we see the Blue Zones die with them? Or do we follow those that are now 80 and 90, with access to improved infrastructure and technology and see the impact that such things have on their own longevity? Whether you think the Blue Zones are dead or alive, longevity re...

There certainly has been a theme in our recent episodes over the rise of social media as a way to educate and influence our health choices! A friend of the podcast, David Wolfe who featured in  episode 6 of 100 Not Out , recently shared a  reel on his instagram account  which resulted in over 900 shares and 730 comments.  This reel was not a ‘ how to boil a frog’ post but aimed at alarming the vie...

Is Ageing Amazing? We certainly think so!  In the media and around the water cooler, you’ll hear plenty of talk on the negativity of ageing.  Do you disqualify yourself from ageing well or do you embrace it?  Do you look at ageing well from a vanity perspective or from what you are still able to do? It’s often said that we are living longer, but dying slower. Are you too busy to work on how you wa...

  Whilst most people are trying to put the brakes on ageing, todays’ guest embraces the ups and downs of it with joy and gratitude, using her social media presence to empower others to do the same. The Middle Aged Goddess, also known as Jane McCann, having bore witness to loved ones’ premature end of life, understands what a gift and a privilege it is to age.  Jane is not afraid to tackle the big...

Sinead O’Connor told us that Nothing Compares to You, but who are you comparing yourself to? Comparing yourself to someone that you saw on social media could put you on an unhealthy pathway, both physically and emotionally. But can taking inspiration from those around you in key areas of life which are important to you – movement, aging, living well, health, golf – be a tool for making better deci...

Boy oh boy did  episode 568  break the internet! We know that the media’s clickbait approach to health can be confusing, but what about when you see your health practitioner and you leave your appointment feeling confused and like you are just a number in the system? A long term health aware listener left a recent appointment with an integrative GP feeling exactly that way with regards to recent b...

Following on from  episode 568 , Marcus shared a recent clip from Dan Buettner who believes the first step in getting healthier and increasing your longevity is to eat at home. There is no denying that there are numerous benefits to getting back into the kitchen, but have we now gone from food scare to eating out scare? Will eating out make you die sooner? What about the connection and socialisati...

Now more than ever, there is a litany of conflicting views when it comes to health, in particular what to put on your plate. Will that skinless chicken breast I ate for lunch give me diabetes? Will I become an addict if I eat animal protein? Can I ever eat meat again if I identify as a vegan? With so many ‘experts’ at our fingertips, are they influencing us? Scaring us? Or dampening our ability to...
