100NO 425: How important is knowing your purpose in life?

On the back of last week’s interview with centenarian Isabel Wallace, we talk about the importance of finding purpose in life.
At any age, how vital is it to know what gets you out of bed each day?
For Isabel Wallace, it was getting up for breakfast! And then it was the joy in seeing her family.
What gets you out of bed each day? And how does it change with the passage of time?

100NO 421: Knowing when to go medical vs natural health

Damian had a practice member walk in recently who had been advised by a medical practitioner not to see a chiropractor.
For obvious reasons this frustrated Damo and also confused the practice member.
On this episode, we discuss the philosophy of knowing when to see a medical professional and when to see a natural health practitioner.
This is a philosophical decision that sadly many believe is not their right to make.
In this conversation, we maintain that health choices are definitely ours to make.

100NO 420: Imagine a dinner party full of scientists …

On this episode we discuss whether we have become so used to saying “where’s the research” or “the evidence” that we’ve lost the art of independent thinking.
We discuss the importance of all factors of life containing an art, a science and a philosophy – and that no one is more important than the other.
With science threatening to overtake the conversation many of us are defaulting to this “dependent” thinking.

Many people today know Pam Brook as the co-founder of Brookfarm …. a family based food company based in Byron Bay, New South Wales.

She is a great believer in a nutritionally balanced diet and a healthy, sustainable food chain. In a previous career, she worked as a dentist – right near my old stomping ground in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

100NO 417: Why some people change and others don’t

After eight years of 100 Not out, one could argue we’ve covered all we need to on the subject of gracefully ageing.
But we feel like we’re only just beginning.
The question that so often nags us and keeps us keeping on is the conundrum that some people improve their lives and others don’t.
Why do many diabetics continue to consume sugar? Why do many smokers continue to smoke despite grave warnings? Why do many people continue to work in jobs they hate?
Whilst they all seem counterintuitive, there is a reason – or many reasons. And we discuss them on this episode.
