With the 2018 Wellness Summit now behind us, Marcus & Damo reflect on their experiences from Summit #6.

Damo had a number of 1:1 exchanges with attendees and shares some powerful, funny and touching moments – particularly of an attendee who saw Damo over 20 years ago and received some questionable advice (to which Damo sincerely apologised for!)

We discuss the power of coming together in real life and bringing listeners, new wellness fans and the podcasters all together for one magical weekend.

The power of the passage of time, as brought up by Marcus at The Wellness Summit, also gets a mention, as well as the importance of not blanket agreeing with everything everyone says (and cultivating the art of independent thought).

Check out the hashtag #thewellnesssummit to see what we got up, or go to The Wellness Couch on Instagram and Facebook for a full wrap.

On this episode of 100 Not Out Damo gives a preview of his presentation at this weekend’s Wellness Summit. 

Observing a health profession turn into an industry filled with apprentices feigning as masters (thanks largely to social media), Damo gives his views on how consumers can navigate the ever-tricky maze that is becoming the health and wellness industry.

A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald on the vegan diet sparked the interest of Marcus & Damian, particularly for how well written and balanced it was.

It described how the body changes under a vegan diet, and MP & Damo discuss in detail the changes at Day 0, Day 90 and Day 365.

Having interviewed vegans on 100 Not Out including Mimi Kirk, David Wolfe and Ruth Heidrich, it continues to be a fascinating conversation on just how to thrive on a solely plant-based diet.

We get into a deeper philosophical conversation on this episode, centred around Emerson’s one-liner “as the twig bends, so grows the tree.”

Having recently returned from “the island where people forget to die”, we discuss –

1. Have we fallen into the gap of thinking an area of our life is bad or average when in fact it’s incredible?

And so much more. A challenging conversation to have, hopefully an engrossing conversation to listen to.

The Wellness Summit is almost here!

Marcus & Damian catch up for the first time since Ikaria. They’re excited to reconnect and talk passionately about the following –

• How much biohacking can we do on the gut?

All this and more on the latest episode of 100 Not Out.

The post 100NO 278: Why gut biohacking can be overrated & the missing link to the microbiome debate appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Hi 100 NOt Out listeners, Marcus here.

I’m in Paris for three more days before returning home and have had plenty of thoughts buzzing around over the past six weeks in Europe.

ON this episode I discuss three which have been major themes. The first revolves around the power of living in a village, the second is about my a-ha thoughts about movement, and the third about food.

I hope you enjoy this episode of 100 Not Out, recorded whilst watching the beautiful Eiffel Tower glitter in all her glory!

For the last 10 days Marcus and family have been in the Dordogne region of France, in the south west to be exact about 2 hours from Bordeaux and learning so much about the French culture.

If you’ve listened to 100 Not Out for a while or heard Marcus speak before, you’ll have heard of Jeanne Calment, the oldest human being ever to lived, making it to 122 years and 164 days.

The incredible Frenchwoman did this whilst smoking for 95 years, drinking port wine every night and eating a kilo of chocolate each week. This example is by no means a valid reason to start smoking or increase your chocolate or alcohol consumption, but it does beg the question —- WHY?

To have a chat about food, French culture and Jeanne Calment I am joined by Ian & Sara Fisk. Ian & Sara co-founded Le Chevrefuille – a beautiful farmstead, B&B and self-catering residence here in the Dordogne – and Cook Dordogne – a cooking school dedicated to helping people understand the French way of cooking and food preparation, especially in the Perigord region.

Our Ikarian Invincibles – also known as the attendees of our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience – share their insights from the trip on this episode of 100 Not Out.

Recorded the day before we finished up, our Invincibles were well equipped to share their a-ha moments, their key take aways and the beliefs that were shattered and put back together during our time on The Island Where People Forget To Die.

From food preparation, farming, movement, socialising, relationships, work-life balance and more, you’ll find a nugget of wisdom that no doubt applies to your own life on this episode.
