Radical human life extension was on the menu for American longevity guru Peter Attia recently. It begged the question to us - how and why are we even talking life extension when we can hardly reach 120? Attia’s article focused on studies around rats and the drug Rapamycin, with older rats having their life extended by between 9 and 14%. We discuss on this podcast the observation that humans are doing a pretty average job at even reaching 120 (arguably, it’s never been done).

According to researcher Saul Justin Newmann, ‘The data on extreme human ageing is rotten from the inside out’. We don’t think so Saul. And either do the demographers who did the bulk of Blue Zones research. 5 of the world’s top demographers have come out and picked Newmann’s pre-print “research” to pieces. (Pre-print meaning this research has never been published; in other words unable to get pass the rigour of peer-reviewed research.)

The silly season is upon us and most people are turning into headless chooks - if they haven’t already put that hat on. Whilst its easy to sit in our seats having experienced “Island time” in Europe for three weeks this year, these experiences help understand what it takes to slow down despite everyone else speeding up.

When Hillary King-Sullivan joined us in Ikaria in 2016, she went home and decided to start walking to work instead of driving. To this day she continues to walk to work, but noticed that she was beginning to make more and more excuses. The heat, the time, and so on.

Dr Natise Schalken joins us on this episode as the youngest member of our recent Longevity Experience in Sardinia. A pediatric chiropractor and mother of a teenager, Natise joins us to discuss longevity in its many masks - not just for people 50 + - but for all of us.

After two appearances on 100 Not Out – episode 58 and 470 – we are due for another deep and meaningful conversation with our dear friend, Quirky Cooking’s Jo Whitton. No topic is off the table during this wide-reaching interview, as we discuss – Time spent in the kitchen and slowing down Caregiving and the family dynamic in the modern age Diets – when to go on them and when not to Oils ain’t oils!

From casein and lactose in milk, to firm stools, loose stools, and the relevant chemical cocktail that a daily coffee can be - we chat about it all on this episode. Having just returned from the European Blue Zones of Sardinia and Ikaria where we didn’t have any/many milky coffees, we talk about the ”creep” of milk. We also discuss WHEN is the best time to drink coffee, the role of added fat (MCT oils, etc and the rise of Bulletproof coffees), as well as the different tools you might...

600 episodes!! Can you believe it! On this episode we say a little “Happy 600th” and then move on to some BIG chats discussing the beliefs that were smashed and broken to pieces during our recent trip to the European Blue Zones of Sardinia and Ikaria. From wheat to medication, olive oil to wine, we discuss a number of different longevity topics that aren’t as simple as we may think. Happy 600th to us – and thank YOU for your support of our message over almost 12 years!

We are sitting having lunch with Diamondo, Leftheres and their extended family. Their daughter Eleni chats with us about many topics related to Ikaria and longevity.  From the challenges we all face - access to healthy food and the rise of technology - to the simple (but not easy) challenges of slowing down and family relationships.  Last week our episode took you to the dinner meal - today’s it’s lunch - up in the mountains of Ikaria.

Is there a next generation of Blue Zones? Are the Blue Zones dying? Or will the next generation lead the way in how to master our longevity? Join us at the dining table with the two people who we believe have made the Blue Zone of Ikaria is well-regarded as it is - Thea and Athina. Athina is the chef responsible for bringing Ikaria’s food to international acclaim.  But it’s actually the younger brigade who steal the show on this podcast. Giannis, Catarina and Dino join Thea and Athina (and a...

Following on from episode 596, Damo and Marcus pick up on their conversation on family and friends and the different energy they bring to our own relationships. Is it a lovers tiff or a robust discussion where they agree to disagree?! Tune in to find out more! You can read the article - 7 Types of Love and What they Mean - referred to in the episode here.

Is Longevity Simple? Or is the term longevity, like the term wellness, being exploited for commercial gain? Longevity tells us how to live longer and healthier. But is it as simple as taking a supplement or well marketed product? Are we over simplifying something which is relatively complicated? Are we, in looking for the easy path, the quick fix, in fact racing to the end of life without realising it?

Today on the show we are joined by Steph Lowe, founder of The Natural Nutritionist. As she lead the way in the JERF - Just Eat Real Food movement, she is now leading the way in helping women create balanced hormones naturally. With Intermittent Fasting continuing to grow in popularity, Steph brings curiosity to the topic of fasting for both women and men. She helps us understand what fasting actually is as well as the differences between men and women when it comes to fasting. Steph shares...

As this episode is released, Damo and Marcus will be on their way to Ikaria - the island where people forget to die. It may be their fifth time to Ikaria but they are still excited to visit and look forward to the slowing down of life as they immerse themselves in the Ikarian time zone! Following Ikaria they head to Sardinia for their second visit and there is much to explore and experience with their fellow travelers, from the San Benedetto market to the last wild horses in Europe!

Damian was recently sent an article, We know what to eat to stay healthy. So why is it so hard to make the right choices? The article discusses research conducted by Nina Van Dyke, an Associate Professor and Associate Director, Mitchell Institute, Victoria University who set out to learn more about why people eat the way they do – and what prevents them from eating better. Join us as Damian and Marcus discuss the article, its findings and provide their thoughts on how we can make healthier...

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’ wholegrains. Which leads to the question – are all grains considered equal? If you are consuming grains...

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 stages of menopause. We discuss what menopause is, what are some solutions to some of the...

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 for yourself that you love to live. We are sure that you will love this conversation as much as we...

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. Has the last decade of continual change in society meant that we have lost the ability to have a...

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, why not reach out to us? You can send us a DM via Facebook, Instagram or visit 100notout.com

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 way of bringing urgency to the health conversation. If the 4 pillars are centered around diet,...

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 continue to improve the health of many. Join us as we reflect on Michael’s life and the legacy that he...
