100NO 326: A GPs Perspective – Nutrition Is Not The Answer To Successful Ageing

We’ve discussed many times before on this podcast just how important nutrition is for successful ageing, and also how it’s not the everything.
To dive deeper into this topic we bring on respected medical doctor Dr Alice, who featured on episode 256 of 100 Not Out alongside her inspirational mother Ada.
Today we talk about –
** The importance of nutrition
** The impact of stress, particularly when you’re eating well!
** The power of meditation and the art of being present
And so much more.

100NO 325: McDonalds Won’t Kill You | Extremism Will

Damian is due to give a presentation out the front of a McDonald’s Restaurant. We discuss how he feels about this and talk more broadly how extremism exists in the wellness community. Talk of “unfriendly” extremism and the pros and cons of exposing ourselves and our loved ones to both sides of the health and sickness spectrum come up. Is it OK for your children to eat McDonalds or other junk foods? Have we taken wellness too far? What of the graceful agers who we’ve interviewed – would they have eaten at McDonalds?
This episode of 100 Not Out is yet another wake up call about what it takes to age well.

100NO 324: Kale Brock on Okinawan Longevity and The Longevity Film

Good friend of the podcast Kale Brock joins us shortly after returning from Okinawa and shortly before venturing to Ikaria and the USA. His travels are the basis of his upcoming documentary The Longevity Film. 
What has Kale learnt in Okinawa – one of National Geographic’s official Blue Zones. What is it about older people that Kale has observed sets them apart from their younger counterparts?
And what of biohacking? Are there traditional “hacks” taking place in longevity cultures that we can adapt in today’s world?
All this and more on the podcast.

100NO 323: Do We Need Science To Explain Longevity?

There seems to be no end in sight of humanity’s commitment to finding a “cure” for ageing. Anti-ageing continues to dominate the psyche of many, and there continues to be a determination from within science to “defeat” ageing and defy this thing called death.
Billions of dollars get spent each year on research into what nutrients help slow down the ageing process, and there are many people who take hundreds of pills each day in a bid to extend their lifespan.
But are they barking up the wrong tree? We tend to think that longevity is not a combination of biohacks or pills.
This conversation and more in this episode of 100 Not Out.

100NO 320: Nature v Nurture | Genes v Environment

Many people feel like they can change anything – from hair colour to body shape, even to baby gender. In this world of bespoke anything, what is the role of the environment? And how much weight can we give to our upbringing?
If we are a lot like our parents or the people who raised us, is it upon us to change it? And when it comes to our loved ones, how much expectation is there for people to change?

100NO 319: Stress is Good

That’s right. Stress is good and we don’t get enough of it.
On this episode, we completely revolutionise the conversation around stress. The vocabulary changes, and Damian shares how “you won’t get a result unless you go into stress.”
Anything you want in life requires an element of stress. And more than ever people are trying to get what they want without stressing.
Instead of “reducing” stress it’s time to “maximise” the power of stress.
If reading this doesn’t make sense, then listening to this episode will. We promise!

100NO 318: Hump Day | Getting Through The Grind | Groundhog Day Musings

Many people despise the feelings of “groundhog day”. But what if there was a sign or power to those feelings of boredom and a general lack of fulfillment.
When we talk about the “grind” of daily life, it rarely conjures up images of success. But what if the “grind” was something that only the true exceptionals of this world did. When we look at people we admire, we often love their commitment to doing the hard work – the grinding.
On this episode, we ask whether we have become too “Grind averse” today, constantly looking for the easy work and what keeps us comfortable.
The graceful agers we have interviewed have had to grind more than most – and that’s what we love about them.
