100 Not Out

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 the art of ageing well.   LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES 2025 We are off to the European Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia this year. Join us in one or both locations for the Bucket List trip of a lifetime. Details at www.100notout.com

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 unsavoury to watch, some finds it has no ethical backbone, some find it compelling viewing and can’t keep their eyes off it. You be the judge – we would love your thoughts. Episode 105 is here. EUROPEAN LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE 2025 This episode proudly brought to you by our Longevity Experiences to the Greek island Blue Zone of Ikaria and the Italian island Blue Zone of Sardinia.

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 equivalent in his golf game recently, it spurred this conversation around our longevity beliefs. Not many of us have sub 4-minute mile parents or mentors that show us that mastering the ageing process is possible. Not many of us believe that we can do ageing well. But perhaps more importantly than ever, whilst longevity is now extremely common in most developed nations, very few of society believe that they can “run it under 4 minutes”, aka do it exceptionally well.

Damo has reconnected with an old friend, and it’s prompted this conversation on the importance of picking up the phone and calling those people you haven’t spoken to in years. From bridal party members to school friends and former colleagues, there is great joy in reconnecting with people we once enjoyed so many good times with. Life gets busy, people move and circumstances change, but the connection of times gone by always remains … and it’s fabulous for ones longevity when meaningful social connections exist. BLUE ZONES LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE There’s plenty of connection and good times during our Longevity Experiences to Ikaria and Sardinia. If you would like to apply to join us go to www.100notout.com

The inconvenient truth when it comes to ageing well is that it’s not our strengths that carry us into longevity well, but the strength of our weaknesses. Think about that for a moment. Poor health is what brings most people undone – that’s a weakness. Poor wealth can create relative poverty – that’s a weakness. A poor social life can lead to loneliness, which can lead to depression, which can lead to dementia – that’s a weakness. In this episode we share our own weaknesses and discuss the importance of making them a priority – and a strength – as we navigate 2025 and beyond. LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES 2025 – BLUE ZONES OF IKARIA AND SARDINIA We are thrilled to be returning to the two European Blue Zones in 2025. Our 10-day Longevity Experience in Ikaria is taking place for the sixth time – August 22-31. We then go to Sardinia for 10 Days from September 2-11.

Happy New Year and welcome to our first episode of 2025! Damo has been moving for 5+ hours per day in a very simple manner … and it’s got his muscles aching, but more importantly, his fulfilment levels are sky high. With a combination of social, spiritual, and movement – we use Damo’s recent volunteering efforts at the Australian Open golf event as an example of what a wise health outcome in 2025 looks like.

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). Is the chase for lifespan extension noble or negligent? All of this and more on today’s episode! LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE 2025 We are off to the European Blue Zones in 2025. Ikaria August 22-31 and Sardinia September 2-11.

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.) Here’s the official reply from the Blue Zones researchers. If you’re into this research, what this event has been able to uncover more than anything is that the data is rigorous around exceptional ageing. And that is a beautiful thing for human beings.

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. So, what did she do? She sold her car! Not only did she use some of those funds to join us in Sardinia, she recommitted to – and has added more movement – to her life since joining us in Sardinia. No excuses, lots of insights, and as always, a lot of laughs! Hillary joined us on 100 Not Out on Episode 198 and shared her backstory there. 2025 Longevity Experiences If you’d like to join us in 2025, we are in Ikaria from August 22-31 and Sardinia September 2-11.
