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.

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.

When Hillary King-Sullivan joined us in Ikaria in 2016, she went home and decided to start walking to work instead of driving. To this day she continues to walk to work, but noticed that she was beginning to make more and more excuses. The heat, the time, and so on. So, what did she do? She sold her car! Not only did she use some of those funds to join us in Sardinia, she recommitted to – and has added more movement – to her life since joining us in Sardinia. No excuses, lots of insights, and as always, a lot of laughs! Hillary joined us on 100 Not Out on Episode 198 and shared her backstory there. 2025 Longevity Experiences If you’d like to join us in 2025, we are in Ikaria from August 22-31 and Sardinia September 2-11.

Milk or no milk? Long black or espresso? From casein and lactose in milk, to firm stools, loose stools, and the relevant chemical cocktail that a daily coffee can be – we chat about it all on this episode. Having just returned from the European Blue Zones of Sardinia and Ikaria where we didn’t have any/many milky coffees, we talk about the “creep” of milk. We also discuss WHEN is the best time to drink coffee, the role of added fat (MCT oils, etc and the rise of Bulletproof coffees), as well as the different tools you might consider in order to have the perfect coffee at home. From an Aeropress to a good ol’ percolator, it all gets a mention on today’s ep. To find out more about our 2025 Longevity Experiences in Ikaria and Sardinia, go to 100notout.com

We are sitting having lunch with Diamondo, Leftheres and their extended family. Their daughter Eleni chats with us about many topics related to Ikaria and longevity.

Is there a next generation of Blue Zones? Are the Blue Zones dying? Or will the next generation lead the way in how to master our longevity? Join us at the dining table with the two people who we believe have made the Blue Zone of Ikaria is well-regarded as it is – Thea and Athina. Athina is the chef responsible for bringing Ikaria’s food to international acclaim. But it’s actually the younger brigade who steal the show on this podcast. Giannis, Catarina and Dino join Thea and Athina (and a cameo by Thea’s husband Ilias). We talk nutrition and longevity, but we also talk purpose and fulfilment, love and family, and we do so with ages ranging from 21 to 81. So hold tight, skip forward 15 seconds here and there is the Greek translation bamboozles you, and enjoy this beautiful conversation held under the stars on a beautiful night in Ikaria.

Is Longevity Simple? Or is the term longevity, like the term wellness, being exploited for commercial gain? Longevity tells us how to live longer and healthier. But is it as simple as taking a supplement or well marketed product? Are we over simplifying something which is relatively complicated? Are we, in looking for the easy path, the quick fix, in fact racing to the end of life without realising it? OUR LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES TO IKARIA AND SARDINIA ARE RETURNING IN 2025!

A recent episode of the Channel Nine series – Do You Want to Live Forever? – discusses the importance of fibre and the recommendation to increase the intake of wholegrains. Despite the food pyramid continuing to prioritize wholegrains, there is no doubt that the best source of fibre, both soluble and insoluble, will come from fruits and vegetables and not just a reliance on ‘healthy’ wholegrains. Which leads to the question – are all grains considered equal? If you are consuming grains recommended in the food pyramid for each meal and snack during your day, is this still considered ‘healthy’? Diets continue to come and go and they can be polarising. Taking a moderate approach across all food groups and utilizing Damian’s palm method continues to stand the test of time. You can revisit Damian’s Palm Method here. In this episode we also refer to episode 21 of 100 Not Out with Don Riddington. Marcus also talks about the movie Nyad, starring Annette Bening. This is available to watch on Netflix. OUR LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES TO IKARIA AND SARDINIA ARE RETURNING IN 2025!
