100 Not Out

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. From stress itself, to overhwhelm and anxiety, to insomnia and then to melancholy and depression. What are the causes and what do we do? 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...

More and more research today is showing just how effective having a pet is for a longer and healthier life. But at the same time, the longevity of pets themselves is under threat, as more and more pets are being euthanised each year for incontinence. Enter Emily Martin, Queensland’s young entrepreneur of the year and founder of Dundies. With 200,000 pets being euthanised each year, this episode ha...

Marcus has been listening to a number of podcasts featuring Dr Zach Bush , and one in particular was around the consumption of protein . As a former vegan, the protein conversation has always been there. On this episode Marcus grills Damian (see the pun there?) on all things protein – do we eat too much of it? What clues do our daily diets provide us with (Marcus shares his daily diet and asks Dam...

We’re in an ongoing conversation and pondering the role good food and stress plays in our efforts to age gracefully. There’s no doubt that a great diet becomes even more important as we age, because a poor diet contributes so heavily to chronic disease. Over a third of all cancers and diabetes are a direct result of obesity. And in the spirit of personal accountability, obesity is within our contr...

It’s another curly question on today’s podcast. Damo’s asked Marcus recently if he would live or die for his children. It may have been misinterpreted, but Marcus said he would absolutely die for his children! And then Damo said he would absolutely live for Jackson … and then the whole meaning of the question sunk in. So many of us live mediocre existences that we forget our children – or others –...

Marcus has had an interesting time in Sydney where his choice of milk with his coffee was heavily scrutinized by the barrista. Have our dietary choices created more segregation, or are we on the right track?

Marcus has just driven to Sydney and spent the morning listening to former guest Charlie Arnott have some tough conversations with his guests on his own podcast, The Regenerative Journey . Marcus and Damo then talk about their own tough conversations they’ve had with each other, and why it’s so important to not sweep things under the carpet, particularly with people that we love. At the same time,...

Does it feel to you like the fast-paced life of pre COVID days has quickly returned? We both reckon the pace of life – the longer work hours, the busy-ness, the bad habits, etc – are back with a vengeance, and it’s time to slow down. We share our own experiences with this as well as our daily habits in order to create slow. Easier said than done, but we reckon you will be able to relate! Enjoy the...

Damian and Marcus both feel that longevity, life design, and all things planning are becoming a lot easier than they were 6 months ago. You can now plan a holiday (particularly in Australia) with a high degree of confidence that it will go ahead. You can also begin to plan out wellness habits, social gatherings, and more. With all of this new found certainty, how do we design and craft our lives g...

Thanks to Sam Wood and the team at The Wood Life podcast for their permission to reproduce this conversation between Damian Kristof and Sam Wood on The Wood Life podcast.  Your chronological age may be increasing every year, but that doesn’t mean that your biological age can’t stay the same… or perhaps even go backwards! Damian Kristof joins Sam Wood to share his knowledge around longevity, and ho...

The post 100NO 473: Life Changing Community appeared first on The Wellness Couch .

Chiropractor Dr Ali Young experienced severe burnout whilst raising children, working and running a household. Sound familiar? In this episode, our mutual friend Ali takes us through the rollercoaster of events – and learnings – around working, marriage, raising children, gaining health — and finding fulfillment. On the back of the release of her first book Work. Mama. Life Ali takes us through th...

Imagine if your partner loved your hobby. It doesn’t happen often in relationships, but it does stimulate the conversation about creating – and identifying – hobbies that we enjoy with our loved ones. Quality time is something that we all love – some more than others. But that doesn’t mean that every married couple wants to play golf together, or that every parent and child wants to go to the foot...

Jo Whitton, also knows as the founder of Quirky Cooking, joins us again to discuss a number of important topics. Jo’s son Isaac spoke at The Wellness Summit back in 2015 and all these years later, he’s health-conscious and living independently. On this episode Jo talks about the importance of patience, the long game, and the fulfilment one gets when seeing an older child value health. Jo’s most re...

Marcus is wondering how Damo continues to have high standards for his physical health as he gets older. The majority of humanity slowly give up on their physical health standards as they get older, losing muscular strength, becoming obese (through a lowered muscle to fat ratio), and all in all, losing the spark and vitality that they once had. As we get older, certain things become more difficult....

It’s hard to believe, but we are officially nine years of age here at 100 Not Out! And what a week it’s been! Marcus’s home town of Mullumbimby has been ravaged by the floods, a war is erupting in the northern hemisphere, and an icon of Australian society in Shane Warne died unexpectedly. As random and disconnected as those three events seem to be, there’s some burning longevity lessons and questi...
