100 Not Out

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! And so much more. Like us, Jo also takes a group overseas each year – in the Italian Alps. You can find out all about it, as well as her incredible range of recipes and books at https://quirkycooking.com.au/. 100 Not Out Longevity Experience 2025 We are back in Ikaria and Sardinia in 2025. Ikaria is August 22-31 and Sardinia September 2-11. To find out more and to apply to join us go to www.100notout.com

Milk or no milk? Long black or espresso? 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 consider in order to have the perfect coffee at home. From an Aeropress to a good ol’ percolator, it all gets a mention on today’s ep. To find out more about our 2025 Longevity Experiences in Ikaria and Sardinia, go to 100notout.com

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. We hope you enjoy! To find out more about joining us in 2025 go to www.100notout.com

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 cameo by Thea’s husband Ilias). We talk nutrition and longevity, but we also talk purpose and fulfilment, love and family, and we do so with ages ranging from 21 to 81.  So hold tight, skip forward 15 seconds here and there is the Greek translation bamboozles you, and enjoy this beautiful conversation held under the stars on a beautiful night in Ikaria.  Is Ikaria calling you in 2025? If so, find out all the details at 100notout.com  

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!

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?

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 important factors to consider when it comes to incorporating regular fasting into your routine and provides foundational principles to help guide those starting a fasting journey.  Male or Female. There is no one size fits all approach. If Intermittent Fasting is something you are wanting to explore further, we recommend listening to this episode and seeking the help and guidance from your healthcare practitioner. An episode to be shared, whether you are fasting or not!  You can hear more from Steph on her podcast, Health

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.

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 recommended in the food pyramid for each meal and snack during your day, is this still considered ‘healthy’? Diets continue to come and go and they can be polarising. Taking a moderate approach across all food groups and utilizing Damian’s palm method continues to stand the test of time. You can revisit Damian’s Palm Method here. In this episode we also refer to episode 21 of 100 Not Out with Don Riddington. Marcus also talks about the movie Nyad, starring Annette Bening. This is available to watch on Netflix.   OUR LONGEVITY

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 for Marcus and Damian? You can send us a DM via Facebook, Instagram or visit 100notout.com In this episode we refer to a number of previous episodes of 100 Not Out.

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 different opinion and still like each other?  Damian wonders if in today’s world that the biggest problem with conversation is that people are listening not with curiosity or to understand, but to reply and fix. Marcus challenges us to listen, don’t fix and that much of the art of conversation lies in the listening.  OUR LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES TO IKARIA AND SARDINIA ARE BACK FOR 2025!  Our Longevity Experiences to the Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia have been locked in for 2025.

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?

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, exercise, sleep and stress – what of the importance of connection and the role it plays in mastering the art of ageing well.

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 leaves behind.  OUR LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES TO IKARIA AND SARDINIA ARE COMING UP FAST!
