100 Not Out

100NO 552: Longevity Diets, Gluten & Blood Types with Dr Damian Kristof

Did you know that the Mediterranean diets of Ikaria and Sardinia are extremely different!
In Ikaria you won’t find much pasta at all, and yet in Sardinia you will find it in spades. 
 
Sardinians love lamb and even eat horse! You won’t find a horse on Ikaria!
 
Such differences open the conversation of what a longevity diet looks like – and what it doesn’t. 
 
This episode (and next weeks) features Dr Damian Kristof presenting at our recent 100 Not Out Longevity Evening in Melbourne. 
 
The last two weeks have been Marcus’s presentation around lifestyle. Today and next week focus heavily on nutrition. 
 
If all of this fascinates you as much as it does us, you’re invited to join us in Ikaria and Sardinia in 2024 for our next 100 Not Out Longevity Experience. 
 
Come to one or both longevity hotspots – all the details at www.100notout.com

100NO 551: Preventing Dementia the Ikaria & Sardinia Way – Live Recording Part 2

In Ikaria they experience 80% less dementia than the rest of the world. Not to mention 50% less heart disease and 20% less cancer. 
 
But today we look into dementia, as shared by Marcus in a recent 100 Not Out Longevity Evening. 
 
This recording from the event discusses some of the hidden clues that our lifestyle gives us – namely cholesterol and blood pressure, which are for many people precursors to dementia.

100NO 550: Australia’s Longevity Crisis - Live Recording Part 1

We recently ran an evening event in Melbourne where we discussed some of our recent findings from our trip to Ikaria and Sardinia, the two European Blue Zones as discoverd by National Geographic and Dan Buettner neary 20 years ago.
We start the evening discussing the confronting issue Aussies face – our longevity and the huge gap we experience in our quality of life in the final years.

100NO 549: Getting ripped off - when supporting local goes too far

Damo has recently moved house and he’s been doing everything he can to spend his money in his new neighbourhood. New cafes, new grocers, new clothes stores, new everything! Including a new barber.
Community is built on supporting each other – including financially – so when Damo visited his new barber only to be ripped off and have an average customer experience – well let’s just say it challenged Damo.
What are the best ways to support local?  And what do we do when it all goes a little pear-shaped?

100NO 548: Damo’s Frustration - Live to 100 – Secrets of the Blue Zones Review Part 4

Damo’s not happy at the way the Nicoyan diet has been portrayed in Live to 100 – Secrets of the Blue Zones. 
“Let’s start off by saying they’re probably not using the Monsanto corn,” Damo begins.  
The way they produce and process their beans and corn is very different to the way we do it in the more modern world. 
 
And not only that, Damo’s angry that it’s been made so easy to replicate the diet local to the Nicoyans. 
 
All of this and more on part 4 of our review of Live to 100 – Secrets of the Blue Zones (which we really are big fans of on an overall basis). 
 
Ikaria 2024 and Sardinia 2024 are now open to enrolments

100NO 547: Live to 100 - Secrets of the Blue Zones Review Part 3 - Ikaria

Part 3 of Live to 100 – Secrets of the Blue Zones is the one we have the biggest soft spot for.
Not only does the series visit the village of where we stay during our Longevity Experience, but it features the people we spend time with each year and have come to know and love.
So, putting to one side our bias due to our relationships, we discuss how Ikarians love herbal tea, wine, family, their gardens, and even being somewhat alternate.
From painters who developed terminal cancer in their 60s and went on to live past 100, to nonagenarians who continue to live with a vibrancy that many of us have lost, this episode will reinvigorate your thirst for living.
If you’re someone who wants to LIVE like an Ikarian with us for 10 days, then check out our 2024 Longevity Experience to the Greek island where people forget to die. And if you want even more, look at our trip to Sardinia as well. All the details at www.100notout.com
