100NO 380: Chronic pleasers, narcissists, empaths & sociopaths

On this episode we stumble upon our (Damian and Marcus) common desire to please.
Marcus asks what the opposite of chronic pleasing is, and with the help of our Facebook Live audience, we discuss narcissistic behaviour, the chronic empath, and the “next level” narcissists, the sociopath.

100NO 379: The Parasites Puzzle and how to deal with them

Everyone in Marcus’s family has parasites … except Marcus! And to complicate matters further, no one family member has the same combo as another.
Marcus shoots questions to Damian (on behalf of all listeners who have or have had parasites) to get some clarity on how this could be the case. And o course, on where to go from here.
With an eclectic mix of Giardia, Blastocystis, Dientamoeba and more, whatever your parasite of choice, this episode hopefully empowers, educates and entertains you on the complex puzzle that is parasites.

100NO 377: What happens when one twin goes vegan and the other doesn’t?

Ross and Hugo Turner are twins known as the “adventure guinea pigs”.
Hugo recently went vegan for 12 weeks (both previously ate meat), whilst Ross continued eating animal protein.

On this episode, we discuss how we mistake the results of 12-week dietary programs as clues to how we should eat forever.
If you’ve ever believed that a short term diet is a way of life (we have!), then we believe you’ll enjoy this episode.

100NO 375: More Soft Drink Greenwashing -This time in hospitals

If the fountain of youth is food, perhaps the smart people of Queensland Health think that artificially sweetened soft drink is the silver bullet to get you there faster.
You see, when you visit a hospital in North West Queensland these days, soft drinks with high amounts of sugar have been removed in place of artificially sweetened soft drinks. Apparently, that’s a step in the right direction.
You can check the article out here and listen to this episode to see what we think about it.

100NO 374: Dropping The Diet Identity & Returning to Normality

It’s so easy to become defined by your diet – vegan, gluten free, real food, LCHF, paleo, raw. Whatever you eat, it’s easy for it to become another episode of “Keeping up with the Jones’s”.
On this episode we discuss – amongst many topics – our own journeys in moving on from our diet identifying us as who we were. For Marcus, it was being vegan. For Damo, it was ‘real’ food. He discusses being noticed in New Zealand by a viewer of his TV show, Downside Me! Damian, who became known as “Downsize Damo” felt pressured to eat a certain way.
If you feel pressure to eat a certain diet or to maintain a certain identity based on your food choices, we think you’ll love this episode.

100NO 372: How the Blue Zone of Ikaria does lockdown with Thea Parikos

Like Australia, Greece has done an incredible job at “flattening the curve”. We have been asked by many listeners how the longevity leaders on the planet, the residents of Ikaria, have been faring.
Having been to Ikaria three times for our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience, we thought we would have a fair idea of how they would go. Thea Parikos, our host in Ikaria, joins us on this episode to describe how the Ikarians do lockdown. If you feel like life has slowed down from the hectic pre-COVID19 pace, does “island time” get slower during a pandemic?
Enjoy this intriguing episode of 100 Not Out 🙂
