100NO 698: Lab Research vs Lived Experience | Longevity's Greatest Challenge
from 100 Not Out · host Marcus Pearce, Damian Kristof
Today we dive into what it really means to age well, using lived experience as the guide versus the latest lab-based research. Fresh off the City to Surf run—despite a pesky calf injury— Damo shares his lessons from pushing physical limits in his 50s, as we challenge the narrative that we should slow down as we age. On this ep we explore the difference between “old man / woman injuries” and the badges of honour that come from being actively engaged in life. We touch on inspiring stories of longevity, from 90-year-old athletes to the wisdom of Blue Zones, and reflect on the importance of staying competitive—no matter your age. Plus, get a peek into our upcoming travels to Sardinia and Ikaria, where we’ll continue searching for the secrets of exceptional longevity. If you’re a crazy one and want to book a last minute spot - we may have one remaining.
