Part two of our fascinating conversation around chronic disease focuses on some of the limiting beliefs society has around ageing, genes, family history, and the quality of our future.

So many of us have been conditioned to believe there's next to nothing we can do about our health because of the lives our parents lived.

On this episode we discuss how genes really work, how important our lifestyle is to those genes expressing themselves, and why if we don't change our beliefs about fatalism and the ageing process, we simply end up on the stats that show 12+ years of morbidity.

This is a fiery episode of 100 Not Out, we hope you enjoy!

On this special two-part episode of 100 Not Out we explore the impact of chronic disease on longevity.

The statistical truth is that chronic disease in the modern advanced world is not enough to stop someone living a long-time.

But even with all the medication and treatment in the world, chronic disease creates a tidal wave of physical, financial, familial and emotional stress.

So what are the main causes of chronic disease, and how can we prevent it as we go about our lives?

GREEK ISLAND LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE

In case you missed it, we're off to Ikaria in June for the first time since 2019! Our Blue Zone Longevity Experience is back, and if you fancy joining us, go to 100notout.com for all the info and to apply.

So many people think Blue Zones and longevity and "Ageing well" is such a luxurious conversation ...

Many people think longevity is a "wellness hack" you do by exercising, eating the latest diet and practicing mindfulness.

But when you consider how terrible the final 12+ years of life is for most people, it's clear that longevity - and quality longevity - is not some luxury item, but an urgent life skill we must master.

On Ikaria, the locals experience 80% less dementia, 50% less cancer and 20% less heart disease.

Think of that for a moment. We go to Ikaria to experience how these people achieve these incredible results.

And why a life free from dementia, cancer and heart disease is within our grasp too.

Our group to Ikaria for this year's 10Day Longevity Experience in June must be finalised by February 28. At the time of publishing this podcast we have 4 spaces left. For all the details and to apply to join us, visit www.100notout.com or email [email protected]

Clare Bothman has not only lived through multiple wars (like all centenarians), she has witnessed the introduction of "town" water, electricity, television, telephones, mobile phone, the internet, and so much more.

It's quite incredible when you consider how much change can take place in 100 years.

But most impressively is the way Clare has handled adversity in her life.

Having grieved for her first husband and all three siblings (who all died from cancer), Clare knows a thing or too about living with grace whilst going through tough times.

Enjoy this chat with another thriving centenarian in Clare Bothmann.

For more info on Clare, you can read this article.

Chances are you married or are in love with someone who runs a kitchen completeley differently to you!

So this episode is like Love Languages and personalities for the everyday cook!

We also chat about how to cook for guests, how long leftovers last for and much much more!

Captain Christmas, also known as Damo, didn't have the Christmas Day he expected.

And after some self-labelled "stinking thinking", Damo shared his experiences and the importance of mental "flexibility" for when things don't go to plan.

On episode 510 of 100 Not Out we talk about dealing with the unexpected, both in the short and long term, the difference between acute experiences and chronic conditions, and the way to navigate our days and lives when the unexpected comes our way.

It feels prophetic - hopefully not too much - but perhaps this episode needs to be kept in a safe place for when challenge comes our way.

IKARIA 2023 - We are THRILLED to be returning to the Greek ISland of Ikaria in 2023. To find out all about our 100 Not Out Mediterranean Longevity Experience, go to 100notout.com or click here.

Most of us are pretty good at slowing down over Christmas and the New Year break ... but what about when the year warms up and gets back into a "normal" rhythm?

The art of slowing down is by no means finite. Every one of us has ways and strategies to slow down that don't "work" for others. The key is knowing what it takes for you to find calm, chill and relaxation.
