100 Not Out

Around 20% of the population live with or are impacted by arthritis. What is it, why does it occur and how do we go about improving the health of our joints? There are hundreds of arthritides (forms of arthritis), and today we focus on osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis). From "wear and tear" to the undiagnosed and untreated incidents we've let develop over the years, we cover off all the major causes of osteoarthritis and discuss whether it's genetic, lifestyle driven, stress-related and so much more.

Australian Masters Games General Manager Jane Woodlands-Thompson joins us on 100 Not Out as we discuss what it takes to defy the stereotype of ageing in Australia. One of the biggest one-liners in society is around "slowing down" as we get older, but for the 10,000 legends who compete at the Australian Masters Games, they have no intention of slowing down at all. Held from the 7-14 of October in Adelaide this year, the Australian Masters Games is an incredible showcase of everything 100 Not Out is about. Ticking the boxes of movement, social engagement, growth and purpose, we can't wait to create a 100 Not Out team in the future and participate at such an incredible event. For now, we highly recommend you put a friendship group together and join thousands of like-minded souls at the Australian Masters Games. All the details at australianmastersgames.com

Part two of our fascinating conversation around chronic disease focuses on some of the limiting beliefs society has around ageing, genes, family history, and the quality of our future. So many of us have been conditioned to believe there's next to nothing we can do about our health because of the lives our parents lived. On this episode we discuss how genes really work, how important our lifestyle is to those genes expressing themselves, and why if we don't change our beliefs about fatalism and the ageing process, we simply end up on the stats that show 12+ years of morbidity.

On this special two-part episode of 100 Not Out we explore the impact of chronic disease on longevity. The statistical truth is that chronic disease in the modern advanced world is not enough to stop someone living a long-time. But even with all the medication and treatment in the world, chronic disease creates a tidal wave of physical, financial, familial and emotional stress. So what are the main causes of chronic disease, and how can we prevent it as we go about our lives? FINAL CALL - Our group for our Longevity Experience to Ikaria must be finalised by Feb 28.

Our Blue Zone Longevity Experience is back, and if you fancy joining us, go to 100notout.com for all the info and to apply.

So many people think Blue Zones and longevity and "Ageing well" is such a luxurious conversation ... Many people think longevity is a "wellness hack" you do by exercising, eating the latest diet and practicing mindfulness. But when you consider how terrible the final 12+ years of life is for most people, it's clear that longevity - and quality longevity - is not some luxury item, but an urgent life skill we must master. On Ikaria, the locals experience 80% less dementia, 50% less cancer and 20% less heart disease. Think of that for a moment. We go to Ikaria to experience how these people achieve these incredible results. And why a life free from dementia, cancer and heart disease is within our grasp too. Our group to Ikaria for this year's 10Day Longevity Experience in June must be finalised by February 28. At the time of publishing this podcast we have 4 spaces left.

Clare Bothman has not only lived through multiple wars (like all centenarians), she has witnessed the introduction of "town" water, electricity, television, telephones, mobile phone, the internet, and so much more. It's quite incredible when you consider how much change can take place in 100 years. But most impressively is the way Clare has handled adversity in her life. Having grieved for her first husband and all three siblings (who all died from cancer), Clare knows a thing or too about living with grace whilst going through tough times. Enjoy this chat with another thriving centenarian in Clare Bothmann. For more info on Clare, you can read this article.

This conversation might get you fired up for all the wrong reasons! How you prepare your food in the kitchen is a major part of the dining experience.

Captain Christmas, also known as Damo, didn't have the Christmas Day he expected. And after some self-labelled "stinking thinking", Damo shared his experiences and the importance of mental "flexibility" for when things don't go to plan. On episode 510 of 100 Not Out we talk about dealing with the unexpected, both in the short and long term, the difference between acute experiences and chronic conditions, and the way to navigate our days and lives when the unexpected comes our way. It feels prophetic - hopefully not too much - but perhaps this episode needs to be kept in a safe place for when challenge comes our way.

Most of us are pretty good at slowing down over Christmas and the New Year break ... but what about when the year warms up and gets back into a "normal" rhythm? The art of slowing down is by no means finite. Every one of us has ways and strategies to slow down that don't "work" for others. The key is knowing what it takes for you to find calm, chill and relaxation. IKARIA 2023 IS COMING! Our Longevity Experience to Ikaria resumes for the first time since 2019 this JUNE!

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 it, and we fucking know it, so let’s stop lying to ourselves. Getting old is fucking hot. It's sexy. It's probably the sexiest time in life, actually, because being pretty and hot in your twenties is the fucking trenches, okay? And I'm not going back there.” So, whether you're 32 (like Fox) or 22 or 42 or 92 ... the idea which Fox promotes so well is to give up on the idea of "anti" ageing. Whilst we can all fall into the ideal of "looking" younger than we really are, trying to "stop" a process that is natural and unstoppable is bordering on the ridiculous (and let's be honest, creates waves of anxiety across the glo

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 your advantage when you want to improve your health.

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 hosting the program. No worries with it whatsoever. But the issue we mainly discuss on this episode is whether her own experiences (and her experiences with health professionals) is a template that could disempower Australians to not take responsibility for their own health. We referenced two articles in this episode – this one from the ABC, and this one from The Guardian. Image courtesy ABC.

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 view at 100 Not Out is that there is no right or wrong, good or bad when it comes to data. Whatever it takes for you to make better decisions for your health – and life – can only be a good thing.

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 what you’ve done or believed as a result. On this episode Marcus and Damo share some big insights from their own upbringings, relationships to their parents and grandparents, and how they use those insights in their daily life. Marcus has just been to the zoo with his extended family, which has provoked this conversation. Enjoy! If you want more, be sure to check out our 2023 Longevity Experience to Ikaria.
