How many people do you know receive a congratulatory email from Andrea Bocelli and his wife when they complete a major achievement.
Well our next guest – who we are proud to welcome back to 100 Not Out – received that very letter from Veronica and Andrea Bocelli … because at 78 years young, Don Riddington and 5 Englishmen set a new Guinness World Record for the Oldest Relay Team to Swim the English Channel …
To be clear, they combined for a total age of 464 years NOT OUT, with an average age of 77.3 …
And of course punching above his weight at age 78 was 100 Not Out’s version of The Don ..
Cricket can have Don Bradman … 100 Not Out will claim Don Riddington as The Don, because after becoming Australia’s oldest man to swim the Channel at 68 back in 2013, he’s done it again at 78 with a bunch of mates!
This is an inspiring story to kick off 2024!

Our annual look ahead towards 2024 focuses on wearable tech, health testing, AI, diet and of course, exercise.
Damo said Strong and Long would become a thing in 2023 – aka stretching – and low and behold, Stretch Lab has begun to become in vogue whilst group HIIT seems to be phasing out. In other words, Damo gets this right every time!
So tune in for a crystal ball of health, wellness and longevity futurism on this special Christmas Day episode and the final one of 2023!

Every year we talk about the changing face of winning on Christmas Day! Whether your hosting or guest, spending time with loved ones or ones that rub you up the wrong way ... what is always on the menu is ... food!

Merry Christmas!

It is quite disgusting – and concerning – that research on slowing down biological ageing has descended to this.
You’re about to listen to us take the mickey out of the latest findings in slowing down biological ageing, which were presented to the American Heart Association (AMA).
Damo plays the role of research scientist and Marcus, well he dabbles in between AHA Chairman and heckler and host of the podcast!
In any case, we hope you see just how flawed the mainstream recommendations are on what it takes to live a great, long life.
Here’s just one article outlining this “groundbreaking” research.

We are both self-proclaimed Christmas lovers. Carols, Christmas trees, the coming together of friends and family, and all that it means.
But that’s not the case for everyone. Financial stress and family friction are just two factors that see a lot of people dreading this time of the year.
Longevity cultures do special occasions in an extremely ceremonial manner. They are revered and treated with due respect. We touch on this in the context of our own upbringings in this Christmas edition of 100 Not Out.

Singapore has officially been unveiled as the 6th Blue Zone on planet earth, which makes our final instalment of our Live to 100 review even more poignant.
In this conversation we discuss what makes Singapore so special … and the confidence it can give urban dwellers in living with quantity and quality of life.

Damo is 50! (Well not quite at time of recording but he is now that you’re listening!)
It was Damo turning 40 that had him say YES to starting the podcast 100 Not Out.
And now, all these years later – what does Damo have to say to the younger version of himself?
The answers may surprise you – we talk about the speed of life, the focus (or lack thereof) on movement, the amount of eating out we do in Australia, and the things we care – or stress – about.
IKARIA & SARDINIA 2024
Perhaps you have a special birthday coming up?! Our trips to Ikaria and Sardinia are often birthday celebrations for attendees. We are in Ikaria August 22-31 and Sardinia September 1-10. All the details at 100notout.com

Have certain members of the longevity movement lost their mind?!
We’re quite taken aback by Dave Asprey’s invitation to his community to undergo Gene Therapy in a bid to prolong life.
Follistain Gene Therapy to be exact, which he invites people to partake it at a cost of $US 25k.
We’re not joking, you can see it all here
It’s fair to say this approach to longevity – and gene therapy – completely goes against our ethos on 100 Not Out.
In the comments of his post on Instagram, Dave tells naysayers that they are undergoing gene therapy every time they eat hot chips, and so we are already doing it anyway. He references epigenetics – the environment that we place our genes in – as the key.
On that point we agree, however we take a more macro look at epigenetics, and reference our chat with Mimi Kirk on episode 11, where she took us through her family history, her genes, and her determination to live a lifestyle completely opposite to her family.
2024 Longevity Experience
Care to join us in Ikaria and/or Sardinia in August & September 2024 for our 100 Not Out Longevity Experience? We’ve been going since 2016 and it’s fair to say these trips are a bucket lis trip of a lifetime. All the details at 100notout.com

Part 2 of Dr Damian Kristof’s recent presentation at our 100 Not Out Longevity Evening focuses on breaking the rules that we often get indoctrinated with.
From honey and seed oils, to animal protein and vegan diets, Damo takes you in to the longevity hotspots of Ikaria and Sardinia to explore what they eat, why they eat it, how they prepare it and so much more.
If you love all of this and want to experience the real thing with us in 2024, you’re invited to join us in Ikaria and Sardinia (pick one or both) for our 2024 100 Not Out Longevity Experience.

Did you know that the Mediterranean diets of Ikaria and Sardinia are extremely different!
In Ikaria you won’t find much pasta at all, and yet in Sardinia you will find it in spades.
Sardinians love lamb and even eat horse! You won’t find a horse on Ikaria!
Such differences open the conversation of what a longevity diet looks like – and what it doesn’t.
This episode (and next weeks) features Dr Damian Kristof presenting at our recent 100 Not Out Longevity Evening in Melbourne.
The last two weeks have been Marcus’s presentation around lifestyle. Today and next week focus heavily on nutrition.
If all of this fascinates you as much as it does us, you’re invited to join us in Ikaria and Sardinia in 2024 for our next 100 Not Out Longevity Experience.
Come to one or both longevity hotspots – all the details at www.100notout.com

In Ikaria they experience 80% less dementia than the rest of the world. Not to mention 50% less heart disease and 20% less cancer.
But today we look into dementia, as shared by Marcus in a recent 100 Not Out Longevity Evening.
This recording from the event discusses some of the hidden clues that our lifestyle gives us – namely cholesterol and blood pressure, which are for many people precursors to dementia.
