100 Not Out

The annual fortune telling episode of 100 Not Out is here! Since 2014 we have accurately identified the nature of the universe and all its deviations to within a nanosecond! Hehe, OK seriously. There are always trends developing whilst others are on the decline, particularly when it comes to food, movement and personal growth. We go through what has been popular in 2016, what is likely to become unpopular in 2017, and what the new kid on the block in the wellness world will be. In 2017 we RETURN to IKARIA for the 9-night 10-day transformational 100 Not Out Greek Island Longevity Retreat. Registrations close January 30! Click here to find out more and to book your spot!

It’s easy to fall in a heap at Christmas time. Family stress, financial stress, logistical stress, year-end functions and social gatherings, and so on. On this episode of 100 Not Out we work through some of the more challenging parts of Christmas (dealing with grief, sickness, etc) and provide some insights as to how to navigate Listen In The post 100NO 194: Christmas Stress Tips appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Our guest on this edition of 100 Not Out is a fascinating human being. Andy Ramage is a former professional athlete turned oil broker who decided to go one year without beer – and it has stuck. Andy is also a master practitioner of NLP, a mindfulness based awareness coach and is currently studying for a master’s degree in both positive psychology and coaching psychology. A love of wellbeing and peak performance led Andy to stop drinking alcohol in the face of massive social pressure. Running a brokerage in the city and ‘not drinking’ is almost unheard of. From this experience he realised that there were probably millions of others out there desperate for a break from alcohol who could not overcome this pressure. So he wrote a book and co-founded a movement with Ruari Fairbairn’s called OneYearNoBeer a 30, 90 and 365 day alcohol free challenge to change peoples perception of alcohol. Andy’s unique background, education and experience of running OneYearNoBeer make him one of the world’s leading habit change exp

During our time in Ikaria we were fortunate to meet Carina Aaltonen. Carina has been a Member of Parliament in Aaland (near Finland) since 2003 and is on a mission to create one of the healthiest and fulfilled communities in the world. Carina travelled to Ikaria to observe just how they had not only created their lifestyle, but owned in so strongly despite the pace of the world increasing, technology taking over manual labour, and communication and relationship changes from generation to generation. We picked Carina’s brain on a number of topics, including – Tell us about the Aaland Islands – population, lifestyle, and so on.  What inspired you to travel to Ikaria? What education do you have to provide the public with in order for them to get involved? What impact do you envisage this process having on the rest of Finland and the EU? What are the MOST important parts of society to get RIGHT in order to be a Blue Zone? How long is the vision? Do you see this is a 10-20-50 year project? To watch this episode on

Weight loss. Is it ever OFF the agenda? It’s a constant source of desire, stress, self-esteem sapping energy for many, and most, if not all of us have changed our diet or lifestyle to shed a kilo or two over our lifetime. On this episode of 100 Not Out we explore how to approach weight loss as Christmas and Summer approaches (for those in the southern hemisphere), and how to align weight loss with our truest desires (and not necessarily what a stranger might think of us).

Prebiotics, Probiotics, Antibiotics, Synbiotics & Symbiosis … does it ever end? And we haven’t even mentioned the mother of them all, the microbiome! In this episode of 100 Not Out we track the ever-confusing progression of probiotics. Whilst most people on the wellness path recognise that probiotics are important for every single one of us, which ones to take, which ones NOT to take, and just HOW to take them has become another mental minefield for health enthusiasts and beginners alike. To the rescue (as always on 100 Not Out when it comes to nutrition) is Damian Kristof, the voice of reason! Damo shares the easy mistakes (like feeding adult strains to children), and also defines the different types of -biotics so that we may have the clarity we crave as consumers to make the best choices for ourselves and our families.

Donald Trump may be the next president of the United States, but what does the entire election campaign tell us about how we consume our media. And what then do we make them of our own culture, both national and personal? Damian & Marcus take a look at this from a 100 Not Out perspective.

This enthralling chat on mindfulness with world leader Marvin Oka was too difficult to condense into one episode. So on part 2 we explore how to deal with life’s problems in a mindful way. What do you do when the kids are going crazy? What about when you’ve had a fight with your partner? How do you get through a tough day at the office in a mindful way? We ask the hard questions about the tough times in order to gain clarity on what mindfulness really is, when to apply it, HOW to apply it, and how to deal with others who may not be so focussed on mindfulness! We also discuss what type of growth people in positions of leadership need to undertake. There are three types which Marvin refers to near the end of the episode.

Damian recently was ridiculed by a speaker whilst giving a presentation in the United States. It’s fair to say it took him by surprise, and also got him thinking about the role of supplements in people’s quest for health. Has our use of supplements gone too far? Did we lose sight of their role? And what about the role of pharmaceutical drugs – when is it better to choose the medical path over the natural path?

In this episode of 100 Not Out, Marcus reveals his difficulty in appreciating some things in life, and Damo shares his tips on how he practices gratitude. A recent development has been a gratitude rattle both Damian and Marcus were given by Shona in Ikaria whilst on the 2016 100 Not Out Longevity Retreat.

In this episode of 100 Not Out, we discuss the biggest “Secret” that most of humanity still refuses to acknowledge when it comes to living a great, long life. And that secret is, wait for it … drum roll please … yes pat your fingers on your thighs …. accountability! If we had some SERIOUS consequences for NOT doing something, we would do it – every time! The key for you and I is to work out exactly WHAT type of accountability works. It’s different for each individual. Some people will do something if they are paid to do it (or if they will lose money for NOT doing it). Most of the time, we will do something because the PAIN of NOT doing it is too great (normally time or money). The reason why we are running the 100 Not Out Lifestyle 2-day weekend experience is to provide the accountability IN PERSON to help you design your lifestyle the way YOU want it. Listening to us on a podcast each week is one thing. Doing the work with us helping you for two full days ramps it up a notch or 50. Topics covered include –

Two recent episodes of 100 Not Out will go down as two of our favourites. Episode 179 with Mitch Albom, best-selling author (think 35 million + books), and episode 181 with Dr Mario Martinez. The links to culture and longevity are incredibly powerful, and one that we discuss a lot in this episode, particularly as it relates to the culture that YOU live in, and what you can do about it. We develop the discussion around righteous anger (as mentioned by Dr Mario) and it’s role in living a long life. Damian also reveals which part of Tuesday’s With Morrie brought him to tears.

This is an engrossing conversation! We know the connection between the mind and the body – but what influences the mind?

Without doubt one of the most favourite interviews we have ever done. Mitch Albom has written six books, sold over 35 million copies in 39 languages, had four of those books adapted into movies and shows no sign of “retiring” anytime soon with the release of The Magic Strings Of Frankie Presto. His most famous book is without doubt Tuesdays With Morrie. Perfectly placed to shed wisdom on what it is to live the 100 Not Out lifestyle, on this interview Mitch discusses – The power of culture and your choice to buy into it or not How writing Tuesdays With Morrie has allowed him to be an eternal “teacher’s assistant” How Mitch stays grounded in the face of so much success The illusion that personal growth creates “perfect” citizens And so much more We really hope you enjoy this interview as much as we enjoyed asking the questions!
