100 Not Out

100NO 588: Listen, Don’t Fix

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.

100NO 587: When Diets Go Wrong

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

100NO 586: Do You Want to Live Forever?

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.
If you haven’t watched it we recommend catching the replay here.

100NO 585: Michael Mosley, Rest in Peace

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.

100NO 582- Blue Zones, Diets & Biohacks - Live Recording

We recently ran a live online workshop busting the 3 big myths around Blue Zones, Diets & Biohacking.
During this live workshop we discussed: 
** Your genetics and ageing profile.
** To age or not to age like your parents?
** Why is it that Blue Zones residents experience less dementia, cancer and heart disease?
** The connection between diet and longevity.
** The role of supplements and biohacks in ageing well …
Join us as Damian and Marcus lay out the the truth, bust the myths, and set you on the path to longevity, as shared with us by hundreds of centenarians, graceful agers and health professionals over more than a decade on the podcast and traveling to the Blue Zones. 
During this recording we referred to episode 11 with Mimi Kirk. You can listen to that episode here.

100NO 581: Is Breakfast the Devil’s meal?

With the rising popularity of fasting, has breakfast been demonized unfairly?
What does it mean to be a breakfast eater today? Is it eggs and greens to kickstart your day like Marcus or is it an Espresso or two to tide you over to your first meal of the day, sometime around lunchtime when the hanger kicks in?  
Damo sees breakfast as an opportunity to provide fuel for the brain to get going for the day ahead, so that we can think clearly.  An opportunity to help balance our moods, hormones and creating less stress within the body. 
Maybe breakfast isn’t for you and eating your calorie load across two meals in the afternoon works great for you. But if breakfast is the meal that you look forward to most and it helps you feel balanced, don’t skip it just because everyone else is doing it. One size does not fit all.

100NO 580: Urgency Culture: Real or Not Real?

Many years ago, Greg McKeown introduced us to the humble brag, but has the humble brag (we spoke about this on episodes 68 and 378) now found itself an older cousin called Urgency Culture?
Do you find yourself unable to say NO just in case a better offer pops up and then find yourself over-committed and overwhelmed?
Do you preface your answers to “How are you?” with ‘I’m busy!”.
Do you drop what you are doing every time a message or a call comes through?
Do you find yourself checking your phone and social media at every opportunity, just in case you miss out on something happening in the world around you?
A sense of urgency can look very different from one person to another, but following on from a recent National Geographic article about responding immediately to texts, is it time to pause and find ways to counteract this urgency culture?
In an increasingly connected world, urgency culture blurs the line between what is urgent and what is important. The Eisenhower Matrix is a great starting point as to how you can decipher between what is urgent and what is important.
In this discussion, Damo and Marcus share some suggestions as to how you can find the time in your life to slow down and help move yourself towards a parasympathetic state of mind, rest, digest and repair.
