100 Not Out

What to eat at Christmas time has become more complicated than ever! So who do you turn to when in doubt? Damian Kristof of course! On this episode Damo shares his full Christmas menu, from his Christmas Eve drink of choice all the way through to Boxing Day. We also discuss on this episode the art of eating well, and not getting too caught up in what gets consumed around Christmas time. This is no...

Financial stress, overeating, social awks and major melodrama - isn't Christmas meant to be the most "fun, fabulous time of the year"? For many, this is not the case at all! On this episode we talk about a range of Christmas related topics, but at the end Damo shares his 5 simple, yet very effective tips for winning at Christmas! They're so simple you could even brush them off, but if you find it...

Ageing is "in" according to Julia Fox (if you don't know who she is, click here ), and anti-ageing is OUT! “Just to let you guys know, aging is fully in—like fully,” Fox said in a recent TikTok video. “And if I see another project that says ‘anti-aging’ on the label, I’m suing. I’m going to sue because I’m gonna age regardless of if I put the fucking $500 serum on my face. And you all fucking know...

Marcus is not feeling as vital as he once did. He's feeling a bit flabbier, a bit less strong and on this episode discusses with Damo what it takes to get stronger and fitter as we get older. One thing's for sure - it's not as easy as it was when we were younger! On this episode we discuss the mirage of weight, the benefits and drawbacks of data, and knowing when to use data and measurements to yo...

Magda Szubanski is the host of Magda’a Big National Health Check. It’s a new show out now on the ABC and today on the podcast we talk about the approach the ABC have gone with in having an obese host fronting a series on health. Is it OK? Is it the right message? And what message does it send to viewers? Before you press play, we can tell you that we’re more than happy for Magda Szubanski to be ho...

Damo loves data. As a chiropractor and naturopath, he’s always been deep into the science and data of health. Marcus on the other hand, is not a data man. He doesn’t have an oura ring and doesn’t know how much REM sleep he gets. On this episode we discuss many things including the desire for data and the positive behavioural change we might make when he have more information available to us. Our v...

What do we learn about life and longevity from our family members? This is a deep and meaningful issue that many people don’t ever really ask themselves? If you consider for a moment what you’ve learnt from your parents, grandparents, sibglings and so on, how much of what you have learn’t do you apply to your daily life? Being “just like your Mum” is one thing … but it’s another to really consider...

It was a joy to get together in Melbourne to record the 500th episode of 100 Not Out! Thanks to our wonderful live audience for joining us as we discussed a selection of transformational stories and incredible progress that people have made over 500 episodes of 100 Not Out. From inspiring mantras to full blown life transformations, it’s great to know that this podcast has made such a difference in...

We’re almost at 500 episodes! Hard to believe and very exciting all at the same time! What have we  – and you – learnt over the almost 10 years 100 Not Out has been happening? We’d love to know – you can share us your feedback by email – marcus@marcuspearce.com.au – or send us a DM on our socials. We reflect on our learnings, and the foundations that this podcast has laid for our views on ageing w...

On this episode we discuss the perceptions we have of older people? Are they more grumpy? Or is this a stereotype that we’ve bought into without really thinking about it? This chat will make you think about the words you use to describe older people, and whether you’re buying into a limiting label that doesn’t serve. Enjoy! EVENTS! We are recording our 500th episode on Wednesday October 19 in Sand...

An episode of Lance Armstrong’s Forward podcast featuring Tony Robbins is the  topic of today’s conversation. This episode was done shortly after the release of Robbins’s latest book, Life Force . We discuss if longevity is as simple as using AI and machinery to create good health – or if the innate intelligence and other factors of life (emotional health, love, community and so on) still have a r...

Have you been finding it difficult to make sense of all that’s going on in the world – both now and over the last couple of years? On this episode we discuss what we do when we are confused, uncertain and unsure of both the now and the future. From our favourite books to the power of reminiscing, this episode is a mini guide on what you can do when you’re feeling a little bit flappy, dark or heavy...

In 1926, when Queen Elizabeth was born, life expectancy was 70.6 for a baby girl and the chance of living to 100 was only 3.4 per cent. What happened in reality is that Queen Elizabeth outlived her life expectancy by a GENERATION! Think about that for a moment. In looking at the three major ingredients for longevity that we speak about on 100 Not Out, the Queen had quality longevity in space. She...

It’s beyond exciting to formally announce that we are heading back to Ikaria in 2023 for our 100 Not Out Mediterranean Longevity Experience! After a 3-year hiatus, our fourth trip will be taking place from June 12 to 21 next year. What will we be up to? Why is Ikaria so special to us? Why is this bucket list trip of a lifetime such a powerful experience? We discuss all of this and more – whether y...

We’re about being 100 Not Out on this podcast and mastering the art of ageing well – but you could argue that we don’t talk about mid-life often enough.  Today’s topic is all about that birthday with a 0 – and probably the 40 or 50 or 60 in particular. Our guest today is Shar Moore, who in her own words, is just getting going at 50.  Shar’s a TEDx Speaker, TV Talk Show Host, Award-Winning Mentor,...

We absolutely loved recording this episode! The topic began as a serious one but quickly escalated into a mixture of laughter and (what we think is) edutainment! From sleep and water consumption to alcohol and caffeine and urine colour to resting heart rate – this is a wild conversation that goes in all manner of places but we genuinely think it’s one you don’t want to miss! Do let us know what yo...

Damo surprised Marcus at his family home in Mullumbimby recently. It was a Sunday night and Damo and his son Jackson were a road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane. “We were just passing through and thought we would drop in and say hello!” And what a hello it was! This brings back memories of what our childhoods were like, and how quickly many in society have lost the art of dropping in on  friends a...

We’ve interviewed hundreds of graceful agers on 100 Not Out, but who are the core of the core when it comes to truly typifying ageing well? Many of our guests have been known to be good at one or two areas of life – but we know that that doesn’t guarantee longevity or a fulfilling life. So who has excelled in multiple areas of life. And why? We share our answers and reflections on this episode at...

On this episode we take a look at the Queen’s diet. We have very little confidence that the 18 elements of Queen Elizabeth II diet written in this article are 100% factual. Some of them seem quite ridiculous. But in the spirit of humour – and considering how serious our last few episodes have been (all about stress) – here we are to have a chat about the Queen’s diet. Click here to read the articl...

This could be one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded! On the back of our Crack Your Stress Code series (eps 485 and 486) we’ve gone ahead and provided some incredible research-backed, highly effective suggestions for people experiencing stress. From anxiety and depression, to insomnia and overwhelm, Damian shares a range of steps on this episode to help deal with stress. So often,...

Damo is in the beautiful Italian city of Rome and can’t help but marvel at the way the Romans live their lives. What has struck Damo is the pace … the walking cutlure … the history of the architecture, and of course the food! In our fast-paced throw-away society, reminders like Europe, Asia and other ancient cultures provide us with wisdom that is hard to come by in a little young country like Aus...

This is part two of our special edition on STRESS. If you missed part one please go back to last week’s episode. Today we continue on the phases of stress.

Today is all about understanding how we stress and as this conversation continues we’ll get stuck into the...

Welcome to an updated edition of our special Crack Your Stress Code special series on 100 Not Out. Over the next two episodes we’ll be cracking into Damian’s 5-pronged process to not only be aware of stress, but know how to reduce it and better deal with it. We uncover – What is stress? The progression to overwhelm and anxiety. How and why does this happen? The progression to insomnia and then to...

On the back of last week’s episode where Aussie music legend Normie Rowe joined us with his bride-to-be, wellness spa chef, Sam Gowing, we are talking the process required to make OUTSTANDING decisions in life. Now it might seem obvious – or not – that this is a VERY important topic, given that the consequences of poor decisions can be disastrous. But more than anything, we discuss the COURAGE req...

This could be the greatest love story we EVER tell on 100 Not Out.  Two of our 100 Not Out Alumni, Australia’s original King of Pop Normie Rowe … and the world’s number one Spa Chef Sammy Gowing, have been an item for many years … And just a few weeks ago, at the ripe young age of 75 … Normie popped the question to his beloved Sammy … and she said YES!!! We just had to get them on to enjoy in the...
