On this episode (whilst we enjoy the final days of our annual break), we revisit the most downloaded episode ever. Was it because we spoke about Jamie Oliver, or was it because we were entranced by Thea Parikos and Ikaria, the island where people forget to die.
Listen in as we discuss longevity, the Jamie juggernaut, the magic of Ikaria and a whole lot more.
And if you want to experience this magic with us in 2020, you can apply to join us on our ten-day 100 Not Out Longevity Experience from August 30 to September 8. All details at www.100notout.com

Earlier this year on episode 302 of 100 Not Out Damian revealed his trends of 2019. It’s incredible how prophetic he is! He spoke of the rise and rise of vegan, the rise of food origin, and the rise of the keto diet. The year before he correctly spelled the death of the paleo diet from the mainstream vocabulary when it comes to diet.
So …
What’s in store for this year? Admittedly, we get a preoccupied for the first 10 to 15 minutes of this episode, but after that, Damian makes his predictions for what’s to come in the year ahead.
As always, after seven years of making his bold statements, this episode is not to be missed.
*** 2020 Longevity Experiences to Ikaria and Sardinia – Applications are OPEN ***
We are thrilled to be running not one, but two Longevity Experiences in 2020.

Damo has some advice for anyone dreading spending Christmas with relatives or people they don’t like or get along with …
Suck it up.
This is not the time of year to get embroiled in meaningless arguments of who is right, who is wrong, and who is better. Christmas is a time of year to give thanks for life, no matter how messy it might be. This type of gratitude and presence is an artform in itself, and we don’t share this message whilst sitting upon our high horse. More than anything this philosophy is a work in progress for both of us.
Wishing you a safe, happy and healthy Christmas!
*** 2020 Longevity Experiences to Ikaria & Sardinia NOW OPEN ***
Perhaps the best Christmas gift you could give yourself is the trip of a lifetime to one – or two – Blue Zones in 2020. We make our debut in Sardinia and return to Ikaria for the fourth time. All details, and to apply, are at www.100notout.com

We’ve reached a significant milestone at 100 Not Out – 350 episodes!
Thank you for your support of the podcast over almost seven years – we’ll have a bigger celebration when we hit 7 years in early 2020.
To celebrate this milestone we’re sharing with you Damian’s presentation at this year’s Wellness Summit.
It asks you to take even greater responsibility for your health by taking greater responsibility for your community.
If you know our message on 100 Not Out, it’s that engagement is a key nutrient to longevity. How engaged are you in life?
Damian explores this from a nutrition and lifestyle perspective in this presentation.
Want more? Why not join us on one or both of our 10-day Longevity Experience in Europe 2020.
Stop 1 is to Sardinia, the Italian Blue Zone from August 19 to 28. Apply at www.100notout.com
Stop 2 is to Ikaria, the Greek Island Blue Zone from August 30 to September 8. Come to one or both, it’s up to you!
By far these Longevity Experiences are the most magical and transformational events we run.

Over the last supper of our 2019 Longevity Experience in Ikaria, Thea Parikos dropped a bombshell without even knowing it. She casually said that she doesn’t know anyone on the island with a gut health problem. And Thea knows everyone on the island.
Our Aphrodites (we had nine women join us on our trip this year) were all aghast at Thea’s statement. So were we.
You see, when we run events here in Australia and ask the audience to raise their hands if they have gut health issues, over 90% of the audience will put their hand up. Granted, they are attending a health and wellness event. Yet, on an island of 7500 people, it’s staggering that gut problems are not even a thing.
So why is that Ikarian’s don’t experience poor gut health?
We go back to Thea Parikos, owner of Thea’s Inn & Restaurant, the base where National Geographic were planted when the Blue Zones were being researched and discovered. And of course, home base for our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience. To apply for our 2020 trip from August 30 to September 8, please go to www.100notout.com

Shona Olykan joins us for the third time on 100 Not Out!
Shona has been featured on episodes 111 and 199.
Shona recently turned 80 and to celebrate she has decided to join us in Sardinia next year for our first 100 Not Out Sardinian Longevity Experience.. This comes four years after joining us in Ikaria for our first Greek Island Longevity Experience.
On this episode, we discuss what Shona has implemented in the four years since going to Ikaria, and why, at age 80, she feels called to come and join us in Sardinia.
When most people are “slowing down”, Shona Olykan is just warming up.
As a retirement coach and the founder of Retire On Fire, Shona’s wisdom on retiring INTO something rather than OUT OF something is timeless and invaluable wisdom.
We hope you love hearing Shona share her knowledge and insights as much as we enjoyed interviewing her.
To join us in Sardinia or Ikaria or both in 2020, simply go to www.100notout.com – check out all the info and then apply.
If you have any questions please email marcus@thewellnesscouch.com

24-year-old Annie Counsel was attending a screening of the newly-released The Longevity Film, when all of a sudden she begun to cry.
Vision of Ikaria, the Greek island known as the island where people forget to die, had just appeared.
Annie had been in Ikaria just a couple of months earlier on our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience.
What was it that made Annie tear up? And more importantly, why is a 24-year-old so interested in and determined to live the 100 Not Out lifestyle?
Listen in as our youngest ever guest on 100 Not Out shares her own longevity wisdom.

On this episode, we discuss family dynamics – especially intimate relationships – and where resentment, anger, frustration may exist and how we process this. What’s clear is that many longevity cultures do not participate in the personal growth movement that so many of us do? Why is that? Does it make those cultures better or us worse?
Marcus and Damian discuss their own experiences with personal growth.
They also celebrate over 500,000 downloads and give thanks to everyone who has left reviews or told us you listen!
Please continue to share with us your 100 Not Out adventure! We are also now on instagram @100.notout or www.instagram/100.notout
In 2020 we return to Europe for not one but TWO Longevity Experiences. Sardinia awaits from August 19 to 28, whilst we are in Ikaria from August 30 to September 8. Enrolment is by application only – for all the info and to apply please go www.100notout.com

The Longevity Film has just been officially released, and we are thrilled to interview the film’s director, producer and major star, Kale Brock.
Fresh from the success of The Gut Movie, Kale has synthesised his experiences from three of the world’s Blue Zones. These areas of the world (in Kale’s case, Okinawa in Japan, Ikaria in Greece and Loma Linda in America) experience greater quantity and quality of life.
How? Why?
We ask Kale all the hard questions.
