Damo travelled to Europe over the New Year break and reports back on what international travel is like these days. What does it feel like to be on the other side of the world? Does it re-ignite the desire to travel more often. How surreal is it?

The post 100NO 461: Damo’s surreal international trip appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Damo has come back from a trip to Europe and has tested positive to COVID-19.

How is going? What symptoms has he had – and what most of us probably want to know – what has he been taking during this time?

This episode is by no means prescriptive. It’s simply Damo sharing his experiences after testing positive to COVID-19.

Given that we believe it’s important to normalise having COVID and not make it sound and feel so scary, this episode hopefully “humanises” what’s happening at the moment.

The post 100NO 460: Damo has COVID – here’s what he’s doing appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

We both believe here at 100 Not Out that having a goal – or goals – to aim at is important life. But we’re also of the view that there are many ways to go about setting up 2022 for victory, and knowing how YOU like to craft your year – and life – is incredibly important.

From going with the flow to over-analysing every single-bitty detail of life, there’s often a happy medium that we each can find in order to live the 100 Not Out lifestyle.

On this episode Damo shares his process, and Marcus shares his – in the hope that you find it a little easier – and more fulfilling – in writing your own script for 2022 as a result of listening to this episode.

By popular demand it’s back again! Damo shares his insights on what 2022 will look like in the health and wellness world.

To be specific, we look at diet and exercise – and what you think might be big in 2022 won’t be the case – according to Damo.

COVID has changed the way we do health and wellness, and maybe for the better. When you listen to this episode, it’s more than likely that you’ll want to be a part of the trend Damo sees kicking off (or resuming) in 2022.

With paleo here and gone again, vegan still being popular, keto somewhere in the middle – what is the big diet of 2022?

And with group exercise out the door during COVID and app-based exercise booming, how will it look this year?

All is revealed on the 9th edition of our annual predictions!

2021 brought home some pretty powerful lessons for all of us. What wasn’t working in our life got magnified (from job dissatisfaction to unhappy relationships), and so did the things we feel like we are winning in.

More than ever, “the simple things in life are often the best” came to roost. If we weren’t able to have the simple things (family time, friendships, etc), it became abundantly clear what impact this had on our mental, physical and emotional health. And if we were able to get it, it’s likely been what has got us through.

So, reflecting on the highs and lows of a big year – we hope you enjoy 🙂

Christmas is upon us and as always, we’re excited! We both love Christmas – the food, the gatherings, and the magic that Christmas can provide all of us.

What’s on the menu and what do we have planned?

Welcome to the Christmas edition of 100 Not Out.

It’s been quite the week at 100 Not Out. After Damo”s big 48th birthday episode, Marcus ventured on a family holiday that had been attempted 3 times prior. Like so many, COVID lockdowns and hotspots had cancelled the trip three times. But on the fourth, nine cousins and 7 adults all came together … and on the fourth day, Marcus broke his hip whilst skateboarding with his 2 year old.

Fun and games might sometimes end in disaster, but that’s not the attitude we’re taking here. We discuss the metaphors of health conditions, the beauty of modern medicine and natural health alternatives, and the reason why anything but acceptance and grace of things we cannot change is futile.

On this episode, having both moved house recently, we share our experiences in hoarding and chucking. And then we go a bit deeper as to the emotional attachment to material possessions, and whether it impacts our health and to a greater extent, longevity.

It’s a big week at 100 Not Out. Damo has just turned 48, his son Jackson is about to have his 21st Birthday, and Marcus is about to see a large chunk of his family for the time in more than 2 years. These significant events have Marcus & Damo pondering about what quality of life looks like as we get older.

When is mid-life exactly? Why are children’s birthdays such powerful events for reflection? And so much more.
