100NO 447: Did Wellness Miss an Opportunity with COVID?
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Today we answer a question from one of our loyal listeners, Pete Lennon.
“Gentlemen – I have a question I think would be good to explore.
Given that healthy people have better outcomes than those who are chronically sick against COVID, have us involved in the wellness industry squandered an incredible opportunity to influence a greater population by being caught up in all sorts of conspiracy narratives.
This is a general question. Not aimed at individuals and certainly not you guys.”
A fascinating question – and we hope you find the answer just as interesting 🙂

Today we pay homage to a previous guest of 100 Not Out, Ada Murkies.
Ada passed away recently aged 98, and it would be remiss of us not to remember and replay for you Ada’s incredible outlook on life.
Imagine this: It’s 1940 and Ada Murkies is a young Polish teenager of 17 when she hears a knock at the door. It’s 2 o’clock in the morning and it’s Russian army officers, demanding they pack their belongings within 2 hours and prepare to be deported to Siberia.
Ada, her brother and sister, mother and grandmother are loaded on to the cattle cart and offloaded to Siberia – a TWO week journey.
Once there, they work in the gold mines and forestries in COLD WINTERS we can’t even imagine.
All the the while the family awaits news of Ada’s father, an officer in the Polish army, only to find that he is one of the 20,000 poles murdered in the infamous Katyn Forest massacre.
When news hits that Poland is creating an army to support Russia in its bid to defeat Hitler, Ada immediately enlists.
What happens next? Well, this is only the beginning of the story … and this is where we pick up our interview.
You will also hear on this interview the voice of Alice Murkies, one of Ada’s four daughters.

100NO 445: Does organ removal impact longevity?
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Monday Oct 04, 2021
If you’ve had organs or other body parts removed, will you live a shorter life?
This question, posed by wonderful 100 Not Out listener and community member, Bron, is the topic of today’s episode. Her full question (provided here with Bron’s permission) is –
“As Damo would know I am a patient of his. I am 44 next week and have to date had several organs removed. Stomach – due to cancer, gall bladder, appendix, full hysterectomy.
What effect does organ removal have on longevity? As I’ve always thought everything works together and has a function and place. Particularly the stomach and gall bladder. I am surprised how well and healthy I live without them. But it does concern me that it has shortened my life. A big thanks to Damo for his awesome guidance.”
Thanks so much for your question Bron. If you have a question you would like to be discussed then send it through to marcus@marcuspearce.com.au or DM us on Facebook or Instagram.

100NO 444: Are we becoming too judgemental?
Monday Sep 27, 2021
Monday Sep 27, 2021
Does judgement get us down? Does it make us feel flat, frustrated, anxious and argumentative? Damo had a conversation recently with a friend who said he had become quite judgemental and realised what impact it was having on his emotions.
Practicing non-judgement may seem impossible and almost useless. But what of judging less? And what of being more curious?
We discuss all of this and more on episode 444 of 100 Not Out.

100NO 443: Secrets of Australia’s oldest man with Janet Rowlings
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Monday Sep 20, 2021
You have to go all the way back to episode 17 of 100 Not Out when we interviewed our very first centenarian on the podcast. Back then it was July 2013 and Dexter Kruger was 103
Little did we know that our first centenarian guest would go on to become the oldest man in the history of our country ever to live.
Dexter lived to 111 years and 188 days, not only becoming the oldest man in Australia but the oldest living human being until his death on July 20 2021.
Dexter was also the world’s oldest active author and you know what they say – behind every 111-year-old author is an incredible transcriber, and that transcriber slash ghostwriter and dear friend of Dexter’s is Janet Rowlings, who joins us again on 100 Not Out to celebrate his life and times.
Janet helped co-write Dexter’s autobiography which was printed just before his death and arrived just 28 hours after he died.
You can purchase a copy of the book by sending a message to Dexter’s official Facebook page, where Janet and the team will look after you.
Janet was featured in the 110+ club which aired on the ABC. You can watch it here.

What does the science say about what hormones contribute to longevity?
More specifically, this topic comes from 100 Not Out listener Pritesh –
Morning fellas… got another question for ya… The inner Geek is asking. “Please explain the biochemical science involved in Longevity? What hormones/chemicals in our human body promote Longevity and how do we support the natural production of these chemicals on a long-term basis?”
Thanks for your question Pritesh 🙂 If you have a question you can email us at marcus@marcuspearce.com.au or on Facebook @onehundrednotout

Amongst Netflix, Stan, Apple TV, Binge, Kayo, Disney + and more, we have more choice than ever in what we choose to watch on TV.
With so many Australians having experienced lockdown lately, we lighten the load on 100 Not Out and talk about what we’ve been watching, reading and learning lately.
What is it about some movies or series that make us laugh and cry? Why do some of us love dark murder mysteries and others just want a romantic comedy.
What do we do about multiple subscriptions to an endless choice of streaming platforms (Damo has the answer).
All of this and more on the latest episode of 100 Not Out.
