100 Not Out

We’re about being 100 Not Out on this podcast and mastering the art of ageing well – but you could argue that we don’t talk about mid-life often enough.  Today’s topic is all about that birthday with a 0 – and probably the 40 or 50 or 60 in particular. Our guest today is Shar Moore, who in her own words, is just getting going at 50.  Shar’s a TEDx Speaker, TV Talk Show Host, Award-Winning Mentor, Author and Founder of the Feminessence® Movement. She’s the host of a brand new TV show called The Girlfriend Hour which can be viewed on BINGE … and she joins us today! For more on The Girlfriend Hour, go to www.sharmoore.com.au You can watch Marcus’s interview on TGH here. Shar’s article in Mama Mia is here.

We absolutely loved recording this episode! The topic began as a serious one but quickly escalated into a mixture of laughter and (what we think is) edutainment!

Damo surprised Marcus at his family home in Mullumbimby recently. It was a Sunday night and Damo and his son Jackson were a road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane. “We were just passing through and thought we would drop in and say hello!” And what a hello it was! This brings back memories of what our childhoods were like, and how quickly many in society have lost the art of dropping in on  friends and family. Everything has become so planned and organised that we have lost the art of the spontaneous drop in. We encourage you to go and drop in on a friend or family member unannounced … and see what happens! UPCOMING EVENTS IKARIA 2023 is HAPPENING!

We’ve interviewed hundreds of graceful agers on 100 Not Out, but who are the core of the core when it comes to truly typifying ageing well? Many of our guests have been known to be good at one or two areas of life – but we know that that doesn’t guarantee longevity or a fulfilling life. So who has excelled in multiple areas of life. And why? We share our answers and reflections on this episode at the same time as outlining what we truly think longevity is all about. Enjoy!

On this episode we take a look at the Queen’s diet. We have very little confidence that the 18 elements of Queen Elizabeth II diet written in this article are 100% factual. Some of them seem quite ridiculous. But in the spirit of humour – and considering how serious our last few episodes have been (all about stress) – here we are to have a chat about the Queen’s diet. Click here to read the article we have been referring to.  Enjoy! The post 100NO 489: Analysing the Queen’s diet appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

This could be one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded! On the back of our Crack Your Stress Code series (eps 485 and 486) we’ve gone ahead and provided some incredible research-backed, highly effective suggestions for people experiencing stress. From anxiety and depression, to insomnia and overwhelm, Damian shares a range of steps on this episode to help deal with stress. So often, people say “I’ve tried everything.” Well, if you’re feeling the impact of stress, this episode is your checklist to know if you really are doing all you can. From movement to sleep tips, diet to breathwork, this episode is a cracker! Please share it with friends, family and colleagues who need support.

Damo is in the beautiful Italian city of Rome and can’t help but marvel at the way the Romans live their lives. What has struck Damo is the pace … the walking cutlure … the history of the architecture, and of course the food! In our fast-paced throw-away society, reminders like Europe, Asia and other ancient cultures provide us with wisdom that is hard to come by in a little young country like Australia. If you’re feeling the pinch of busy-ness and time-poor living, we think you’ll love this episode.

On the back of last week’s episode where Aussie music legend Normie Rowe joined us with his bride-to-be, wellness spa chef, Sam Gowing, we are talking the process required to make OUTSTANDING decisions in life. Now it might seem obvious – or not – that this is a VERY important topic, given that the consequences of poor decisions can be disastrous. But more than anything, we discuss the COURAGE required to make great decisions, even if those decisions are unpopular or defy the common stereotypes you’ll be met with when you make them. So, strap yourself in and enjoy our discussion about making outstanding decisions!

This could be the greatest love story we EVER tell on 100 Not Out.  Two of our 100 Not Out Alumni, Australia’s original King of Pop Normie Rowe … and the world’s number one Spa Chef Sammy Gowing, have been an item for many years … And just a few weeks ago, at the ripe young age of 75 … Normie popped the question to his beloved Sammy … and she said YES!!! We just had to get them on to enjoy in the festivities of such a heartwarming story … we reckon you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy and learn a thing or two about life, love and breaking stereotypes on this inspiring episode of 100 Not Out.  Our previous chats with Normie and Sam have also been pretty awesome!

More and more research today is showing just how effective having a pet is for a longer and healthier life. But at the same time, the longevity of pets themselves is under threat, as more and more pets are being euthanised each year for incontinence. Enter Emily Martin, Queensland’s young entrepreneur of the year and founder of Dundies. With 200,000 pets being euthanised each year, this episode has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, don’t underestimate the power of pet ownership as a key factor for longevity. And secondly, look outside the box when it comes to prolonging and improving your pet’s quality of life.

Marcus has been listening to a number of podcasts featuring Dr Zach Bush, and one in particular was around the consumption of protein. As a former vegan, the protein conversation has always been there. On this episode Marcus grills Damian (see the pun there?) on all things protein – do we eat too much of it? What clues do our daily diets provide us with (Marcus shares his daily diet and asks Damo about protein intake)? And more importantly, what do we do if we are having too much protein? What impact does water intake and portion size have on protein consumption? So many questions! And Damian Kristof provides all the answers on this meaty topic!

We’re in an ongoing conversation and pondering the role good food and stress plays in our efforts to age gracefully. There’s no doubt that a great diet becomes even more important as we age, because a poor diet contributes so heavily to chronic disease. Over a third of all cancers and diabetes are a direct result of obesity. And in the spirit of personal accountability, obesity is within our control. But just how strict or fixed do we need to be? And what if our diet is causing bucketloads of stress? Again, this is a conversation we could have for a very long time. But today, we give it a good belting for half an hour in an effort to bring more clarity to your approach to food and the rest of your life.

It’s another curly question on today’s podcast. Damo’s asked Marcus recently if he would live or die for his children. It may have been misinterpreted, but Marcus said he would absolutely die for his children! And then Damo said he would absolutely live for Jackson … and then the whole meaning of the question sunk in. So many of us live mediocre existences that we forget our children – or others – are watching. It doesn’t have to be for children – you might be LIVING your best life and as a result fall in love with an incredible human being. More than anything, this episode challenges us all to ask the question – are we living our best live?

Marcus has had an interesting time in Sydney where his choice of milk with his coffee was heavily scrutinized by the barrista. Have our dietary choices created more segregation, or are we on the right track?

Marcus has just driven to Sydney and spent the morning listening to former guest Charlie Arnott have some tough conversations with his guests on his own podcast, The Regenerative Journey. Marcus and Damo then talk about their own tough conversations they’ve had with each other, and why it’s so important to not sweep things under the carpet, particularly with people that we love. At the same time, tough conversations can bring us to a deeper level of understanding of ourselves, others and the wider world, only when we are prepared to have – and listen to – tough conversations.

Does it feel to you like the fast-paced life of pre COVID days has quickly returned? We both reckon the pace of life – the longer work hours, the busy-ness, the bad habits, etc – are back with a vengeance, and it’s time to slow down. We share our own experiences with this as well as our daily habits in order to create slow. Easier said than done, but we reckon you will be able to relate! Enjoy the episode

Damian and Marcus both feel that longevity, life design, and all things planning are becoming a lot easier than they were 6 months ago. You can now plan a holiday (particularly in Australia) with a high degree of confidence that it will go ahead. You can also begin to plan out wellness habits, social gatherings, and more. With all of this new found certainty, how do we design and craft our lives going forward? Are we nervous that we’ll be bundled back into lockdowns? Are we like caged animals, soaking in every ounce of pleasure we can before an inevitable hurdle comes our way? COVID has really got us questioning how to live our lives, and this episode is all about that!
