In 1926, when Queen Elizabeth was born, life expectancy was 70.6 for a baby girl and the chance of living to 100 was only 3.4 per cent. What happened in reality is that Queen Elizabeth outlived her life expectancy by a GENERATION! Think about that for a moment.

In looking at the three major ingredients for longevity that we speak about on 100 Not Out, the Queen had quality longevity in space. She lived with a very strong purpose, was a regular walker and naturally had a strong social life.

On this episode we pay our respects to the Queen.

IKARIA 2023 is ON! We’re off to Ikaria in June of 2023 for our 10-day 100 Not Out Longevity Experience. After what will be a four year hiatus, this bucket list trip of a lifetime returns! For all the information and to apply go to www.100notout.com

It’s beyond exciting to formally announce that we are heading back to Ikaria in 2023 for our 100 Not Out Mediterranean Longevity Experience!

After a 3-year hiatus, our fourth trip will be taking place from June 12 to 21 next year.

What will we be up to? Why is Ikaria so special to us? Why is this bucket list trip of a lifetime such a powerful experience?

We discuss all of this and more – whether you join us or not, we think this conversation paints a beautiful picture of the incredible Greek island of Ikaria.

Joining us in Ikaria is by application only. All the details of the trip are at www.100notout.com – including the link to apply.

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!

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!

From sleep and water consumption to alcohol and caffeine and urine colour to resting heart rate – this is a wild conversation that goes in all manner of places but we genuinely think it’s one you don’t want to miss!

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!

The post 100NO 491: Bring back the drop in culture! appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

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!

The post 100NO 490: WHO typifies longevity – and why? appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

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!

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.
