100NO 385: COVID Games To Make The Day OK

Almost every human being on the planet has spent more time at home in the last 6 months than at pre-COVID times.
This has given rise to more and more ways to pass the time. Whilst sitting in front of the TV used to seem lazy and overindulgent, now it’s become a form of self-love, especially for the previously overworked community.
Hugh Jackman has revelaed his love of puzzles on the Tim Ferriss podcast, others their love of music whilst for some, binge-watching Ken Burns documentaries or series they never “had the time to” in pre-COVID times have become an unexpected nice surprise.

100NO 384: Making the day OK – dealing with mental “unhealth” during this time

For many people (and big love to our Melbournian listeners and others who are in lockdown at the moment), this is an extremely challenging time to be chipper, cheerful and bright.
Mental “unhealth” or unwellness as Damian refers to it in this episode, is a major issue, perhaps even greater than the numbers of COVID19.
How we all “make the day OK” is going to be different for all of us. Some make the day a win by watching TV in their pyjamas all day, whilst others prefer to go for walks or sleep in. Enough of the judgement on what is right or wrong, good or bad ways to get through this time.
Making the day OK – however that looks for you – is most important.

100NO 381: Lockdown musings – the best and worst of humanity

With metropolitan Melbourne going back in to lockdown, Damian shares what it’s like to be in the thick of it.
We discuss the untold statistics of mental health challenges, especially suicide, and the greater impact of COVID19 beyond the condition itself.
We talk about cancer, diabetes and obesity paying a far bigger price on mortality than COVID19, and ponder the selective choices of the media to once again choose the ‘bad’ news over the ‘good’ news.

100NO 380: Chronic pleasers, narcissists, empaths & sociopaths

On this episode we stumble upon our (Damian and Marcus) common desire to please.
Marcus asks what the opposite of chronic pleasing is, and with the help of our Facebook Live audience, we discuss narcissistic behaviour, the chronic empath, and the “next level” narcissists, the sociopath.

100NO 379: The Parasites Puzzle and how to deal with them

Everyone in Marcus’s family has parasites … except Marcus! And to complicate matters further, no one family member has the same combo as another.
Marcus shoots questions to Damian (on behalf of all listeners who have or have had parasites) to get some clarity on how this could be the case. And o course, on where to go from here.
With an eclectic mix of Giardia, Blastocystis, Dientamoeba and more, whatever your parasite of choice, this episode hopefully empowers, educates and entertains you on the complex puzzle that is parasites.

100NO 377: What happens when one twin goes vegan and the other doesn’t?

Ross and Hugo Turner are twins known as the “adventure guinea pigs”.
Hugo recently went vegan for 12 weeks (both previously ate meat), whilst Ross continued eating animal protein.

On this episode, we discuss how we mistake the results of 12-week dietary programs as clues to how we should eat forever.
If you’ve ever believed that a short term diet is a way of life (we have!), then we believe you’ll enjoy this episode.

100NO 375: More Soft Drink Greenwashing -This time in hospitals

If the fountain of youth is food, perhaps the smart people of Queensland Health think that artificially sweetened soft drink is the silver bullet to get you there faster.
You see, when you visit a hospital in North West Queensland these days, soft drinks with high amounts of sugar have been removed in place of artificially sweetened soft drinks. Apparently, that’s a step in the right direction.
You can check the article out here and listen to this episode to see what we think about it.

100NO 374: Dropping The Diet Identity & Returning to Normality

It’s so easy to become defined by your diet – vegan, gluten free, real food, LCHF, paleo, raw. Whatever you eat, it’s easy for it to become another episode of “Keeping up with the Jones’s”.
On this episode we discuss – amongst many topics – our own journeys in moving on from our diet identifying us as who we were. For Marcus, it was being vegan. For Damo, it was ‘real’ food. He discusses being noticed in New Zealand by a viewer of his TV show, Downside Me! Damian, who became known as “Downsize Damo” felt pressured to eat a certain way.
If you feel pressure to eat a certain diet or to maintain a certain identity based on your food choices, we think you’ll love this episode.
