Want to know what the secret is to aging well? To live with quantity AND quality of life? To live independently, with vitality, vigour, energy, enthusiasm and complete love for your life? Well, there are hundreds of “secrets”, you can have both quantity and quality, and on 100 Not Out Dr Damian Kristof and wellness coach Marcus Pearce interview the people that are living their lives with all of the above. What makes two guys under 45 so passionate about longevity? Well the answer is because we both see the self-esteem of the aging process at an all-time low. People don’t want to grow old like their parents, people are doing whatever they can to stay “forever young”, people are hoping their genes will get them through, and denying their bodies and themselves the opportunity to transform through each phase of life. So no matter what your age now, come on a journey with us to being 100 Not Out. Learn the scientific AND anecdotal principles of longevity, so that, with confidence you can

Today on 100 Not Out we have the rare privilege of speaking with an extraordinary Australian whose life spans more than a century of history, change and contribution.
The Honourable Margaret Lusink AM — born Margaret Rosanove in 1922 — is 103 years young and still carries the sharpness, clarity and humour that have defined her life and career. Peg - as she is affectionately known - is the daughter of the pioneering barrister Joan Rosanove QC, and went on to become a trailblazer in her own right: the first Victorian woman appointed to a Superior Court of Record when she joined the Family Court of Australia in 1976.
Happy New Year and welcome to 100 Not Out’s final episode for 2025! Today we’re looking ahead to the longevity and wellness trends that will shape 2026. As we reflect on 2025, we’ve noticed a steady approach to food: plant-based eating is still big, veganism has dipped, and people are turning their attention back to balanced diets like Mediterranean. We dive into the impact of Ozempic, renewed focus on protein, and the shift away from food fads toward truly sustainable health choices.
Welcome to another festive episode of 100 Not Out! As the holidays approach, we’re diving into one of the season’s most pressing topics: how to avoid an awkward Christmas. We’re sharing our favorite ways to navigate the ups and downs of this time of year. From sidestepping the dangers of overindulgence in food and drink, to handling those emotional landmines that emerge around the Christmas table, we’ve packed this episode full of practical advice, honest reflections, and a healthy dose of good humor.
In this episode we dive into the fascinating world of seven-year life cycles—and how these milestones impact our careers, relationships, sense of meaning, and more.
Damo has recently turned 52 so this episode is dedicated to reflecting on some of our key lessons since we started the podcast when Damo was 39!
In 13 years of podcasting together we reflect on the sliding doors that have shaped the show and our own lifestyles. We discuss how our perspectives on longevity, nutrition, and life purpose have evolved over hundreds of episodes.
The concept of 10,000 steps is widely accepted in modern society. But is it a hoax?
With some suggesting it is now the fifth vital sign, step count is not getting any smaller as a measurement of good health.
What do we think of this? Well, let’s just say it almost turns into an argument!
Today we’re honoured to be joined by Mina Pontello — someone whose journey reminds us it’s never too late to dive in. At 62, Mina learned how to swim. Yes, you read that correct. And … she learnt how to ride a bike at 63!
Not only that, Mina has made the ocean her daily ritual, riding waves, confronting fears and living fully alongside a group of women known as The Buckettes.
This week we are joined by the remarkable Pauline Milborrow, who at nearly 87 years young, is redefining what it means to age gracefully. After being the oldest participant in a daring indoor skydiving adventure with her neighbours from Bayview Gardens retirement village, Pauline shares with us how embracing new experiences and staying active keeps her vibrant and full of life.
In this episode, we unpack the paradox of getting old: why so many of us are drawn to the idea of living a long life, yet feel uneasy about the prospect of actually growing old. Inspired by a thought-provoking Andy Rooney quote, we dig into what really makes longevity appealing—and explore how having a compelling future, meaningful connections, and a strong sense of purpose might be the true ingredients for healthy ageing.
Ever wonder if making life more efficient is actually holding you back? In today’s episode, we explore why taking the path of least resistance might not always be the best choice—especially when it comes to resilience, health, and purpose. From challenging hikes in Sardinia to the wisdom of 95-year-old Teresa (pictured), we share real stories that prove doing hard things builds strength and character. Challenge yourself, embrace inconvenience, and remember: true growth comes from pushing beyond comfort!
Debunk the myths! Explore the regional variations of the Mediterranean Diet and the real secrets to longevity. Focuses on Blue Zones, whole foods, and the power of shared meals.
In this episode of 100 Not Out, we welcome Dr. Jeremy Pont—consultant chiropractor, non-surgical spine, and regenerative medicine expert—onto the show to dive into the world of stem cells and their role in joint and spinal health. We start by sharing Jeremy’s fascinating journey from a rugby injury in the Northern Territory to pioneering cutting-edge work in regenerative medicine across Europe and Australia.
On this episode of 100 Not Out, we come together for a heartfelt recap of our latest adventure in Sardinia—one of the world’s famed Blue Zones where longevity is the norm, not the exception. Fresh off our third trip to the Italian island, we unpack what makes this region so uniquely life-affirming for both men and women and explore the fundamental lessons we’ve gleaned from immersing ourselves and our group in local traditions, food, and, most importantly, community.
There were tears on our recent Longevity Experience in Ikaria. The lessons of love and community were enough to make grown men and women cry. Happy tears at being welcomed in to people’s homes. Happy tears at being able to come together over food and wine. Happy tears at being able to get clarity on what’s required for the future.
If you ever go to Ikaria, ask a local if they know anyone with a gut health issue. They’ll look at you like you have two heads.
In Australia, ask the same question and they’ll immediately nod their head.
That’s why after more than two decades of sharing messages around healthy gut health, Damo is inspired by the reception he received by over 400 children whilst giving a new presentation called It’s In Your Guts.
Today on 100 Not Out we have the privilege of speaking to someone who is 100 Not Out on the day of recording (August 11)! Clary Hanna van Noppen has lived a life full of resilience, humour, and love. Born in Holland, she survived the hardships of World War II, raised six children, and built a family that remains close-knit to this day — with all six siblings, now aged between 60 and 77, coming together to celebrate her centenary.
Today we dive into the “wonder drug” Ozempic and its prominence in the conversation around weight loss, longevity, and biohacking. With Ozempic making headlines as a modern-day solution for weight management, we discuss what it is, how it works, its risks and side effects, and where it fits into the wider discussion of sustainable health and lifestyle change.
Damo went to Europe recently and didn’t like what he saw in the photos upon his return.
Body image – and beyond that inner health – has as much to do with our own behaviours and beliefs as it does what we eat and how we move.
Our favourite vegan author has passed away. John Robbins, a trailblazer in the health field and author of many books including Healthy at 100, passed away recently following complications from Post Polio Syndrome. He was 77.
It’s perhaps possible that 100 Not Out would not exist without John Robbins. We share why on this episode.
