Damo has reconnected with an old friend, and it’s prompted this conversation on the importance of picking up the phone and calling those people you haven’t spoken to in years.

From bridal party members to school friends and former colleagues, there is great joy in reconnecting with people we once enjoyed so many good times with.

Life gets busy, people move and circumstances change, but the connection of times gone by always remains … and it’s fabulous for ones longevity when meaningful social connections exist.

BLUE ZONES LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE

There’s plenty of connection and good times during our Longevity Experiences to Ikaria and Sardinia. If you would like to apply to join us go to www.100notout.com

The inconvenient truth when it comes to ageing well is that it’s not our strengths that carry us into longevity well, but the strength of our weaknesses.

Think about that for a moment.

Poor health is what brings most people undone – that’s a weakness.

Poor wealth can create relative poverty – that’s a weakness.

A poor social life can lead to loneliness, which can lead to depression, which can lead to dementia – that’s a weakness.

In this episode we share our own weaknesses and discuss the importance of making them a priority – and a strength – as we navigate 2025 and beyond.

Happy New Year and welcome to our first episode of 2025!

Damo has been moving for 5+ hours per day in a very simple manner … and it’s got his muscles aching, but more importantly, his fulfilment levels are sky high.

With a combination of social, spiritual, and movement – we use Damo’s recent volunteering efforts at the Australian Open golf event as an example of what a wise health outcome in 2025 looks like.

Keep it simple – make it something you love to do – and if appropriate, be around people who allow you to be the best version of you!

Here’s to an incredible 2025!

At 104 years old, Joffre Bell is one of Australia’s oldest living World War II veterans. Born in 1920, Joffre has lived through monumental historical events, served in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II, and spent much of his life in the small community of Clifton, just south of Toowoomba.

He’s a gifted mechanic, a passionate photographer, and a lifelong contributor to his community, from his decades of service with local organisations to his many adventurous pursuits, including traveling solo around Australia. Joffre is also a proud former student of The Southport School, where he holds the title of the school’s oldest living alumnus.

Today, Joffre has moved into the Carinity Brownesholme aged care community in Highfields, where we’re lucky enough to speak with him and learn more about his incredible life and experiences.

** Thanks to Lee & Jeannie and the team at Carinity for getting us in contact with Joffre.

Radical human life extension was on the menu for American longevity guru Peter Attia recently.

It begged the question to us - how and why are we even talking life extension when we can hardly reach 120?

Attia’s article focused on studies around rats and the drug Rapamycin, with older rats having their life extended by between 9 and 14%.

We discuss on this podcast the observation that humans are doing a pretty average job at even reaching 120 (arguably, it’s never been done).

Is the chase for lifespan extension noble or negligent?

All of this and more on today’s episode!

LONGEVITY EXPERIENCE 2025

We are off to the European Blue Zones in 2025. Ikaria August 22-31 and Sardinia September 2-11. For all the details and to apply to join us go to www.100notout.com

According to researcher Saul Justin Newmann, ‘The data on extreme human ageing is rotten from the inside out’.

We don’t think so Saul.

And either do the demographers who did the bulk of Blue Zones research. 5 of the world’s top demographers have come out and picked Newmann’s pre-print “research” to pieces. (Pre-print meaning this research has never been published; in other words unable to get pass the rigour of peer-reviewed research.)

Here’s the official reply from the Blue Zones researchers.

If you’re into this research, what this event has been able to uncover more than anything is that the data is rigorous around exceptional ageing.

And that is a beautiful thing for human beings.
