Have you ever wondered what is the instruction manual for the operation of your entire body? 

Welcome to your genes. 

What are Genes?

And are they scary, defective and anxiety-causing beings?

Absolutely not!

On this episode we discuss the modern hysteria around genes and our health, and what’s required to bring some common sense and clarity back to the conversation. 

We discuss - 

Family history

Epigenetics

Lifestyle factors and genes

The influx of genetic diseases

And much more.

Mental health - and creating excellent mental health is not just a buzz term, but perhaps more important than ever in order to thrive both at work and in our personal lives. 

Whilst the topic itself can seem overwhelming, we break down what we believe are 5 essentials to creating excellent mental health. 

We discuss - 

1. The power of sleep on good mental health, and it’s ability to diminish our mental health.

The Imperfects Podcast

This episode is for the advanced learners! If you’re into gut health, and want to go beyond the basics, get ready for a masterclass. 

We discuss the upper gut, middle gut and lower gut - the signs and symptoms of each area of the gut as well as the conditions that relate to each area. 

From burping and indigestion to SIBO and parasites, each condition that starts in the gut comes from a different area of the gut. 

Makes sense, right? But what we do about that, and how we go about improving our gut health depends on more than just where it’s originating. 

How are you absorbing your food? And what do you do next?

From the sesame seed challenge and more conversations about poo, tune into the Laws of Gut Health.

Trevor Hendy is a six–time Australian surf life saving Ironman champion and member of the Australian Sporting Hall of Fame. However this isn’t why he’s speaking on 100 Not Out. Trevor is helping people right around the world shift their awareness around their entire life. In this conversation we explore the challenges of transitioning from one career to another, and amongst other things look at family, wealth and health.

Only the US, Switzerland and Hong Kong have more wealth than Australia.

Depending on who you ask, Australia might even be top of the wealth tree. 

Regardless of what research you look at, it costs a good amount of money to live in Australia. And yet, for all of that, many Australians still aim to retire on the pension, not realising that they are setting goals to live in relative poverty. 

On this podcast we discuss the laws of financial health. It’s not rocket science, it’s simply common sense. And we don’t share it in a prescriptive manner, since neither of us are financial experts. 

Instead, we share our stories and experiences in the hope that you are on the right side of financial health as you get older and can enjoy the bounty of living in Australia.

For the full background on Eddie's story we recommend you listen to the previous episodes.

To simply capture how someone who has experienced such pain and tragedy in their lifetime can experience such joy and love, tune in for some Eddie Jaku magic.

Christmas, holidays & Summer is upon us in Australia - no matter what you call this time of year, there are “laws” which dictate whether you’ll have a great time or not. 

From the way you serve food to what you do when you’ve eaten too much; from the way you welcome guests (who you may not see eye to eye with) to the way you manage the purse strings ... whatever your background, whether you love this time of year or not, we believe there’s something for everyone in episode 7 of the Laws of the Wellness.

Christmas Stress & How to Handle It (100 Not Out Episode 402)

Is the news good or bad? Does it create a more stressful version of us in the workplace?

Our relationship to news is a touchy subject for some. 

Many people are defensive of their news consumption - “it’s essential” and “I need to be informed” are just two statements you’ll hear from news junkies. 

But does general news consumption make us a healthier, more vibrant colleague and team member?

On this episode we discuss the laws of news and stress, outlining just some of the physical impacts constant and regular news consumption can have on us. 

When you consider that we consume in excess of 10,000 news stories per year, this episode is one that may be both challenging and empowering.
