Project 100

Most people taking supplements are wasting their money — not because supplements don't work, but because what they're swallowing never actually reaches the cells that need it. Bioavailability scientist George Kokkinis has spent 30 years at the intersection of chemistry, regulation, and human performance, and what he shares in this episode will change how you read every supplement label. From vitamin D3 and NMN to berberine, CoQ10, and omega-3s, we break down what's actually getting absorbed, what's heading straight to the toilet, and what to look for before you spend another dollar. This is the supplement conversation nobody in the industry wants you to have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Project 100, I sit down with one of Australia's leading cardiothoracic surgeons to understand what's actually happening inside your heart, what your cholesterol numbers really mean, and why the gap between men and women in heart disease outcomes is more serious than most people realise. This is the conversation that will change how you think about what you're doing to your body right now — not in 30 years' time.

Dr Stacy Sims is one of the world's leading exercise physiologists and nutrition scientists specialising in women's health, and she joins Project 100 to explain why the science women have been given is largely based on male data — and what that means for how women should actually train, eat, and protect their healthspan. From the cellular differences between the sexes, to perimenopause, creatine, protein timing, Alzheimer's risk, and why sleep beats everything else — this is a conversation every woman (and the people who love them) needs to hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sebastian Oreb, better known as the Australian Strength Coach, has trained some of the world’s strongest athletes, including Hafþór Björnsson, Alex Simon, and elite professional athletes across multiple sports.  In this episode of Project 100, Sebastian breaks down the science of building muscle, explaining progressive overload, the best rep ranges for muscle growth, and why strength is one of the biggest predictors of healthy ageing. We also cover: Progressive overload explained simply Compound vs isolation exercises The best rep ranges for building muscle How often you should train Strength vs hypertrophy Why muscle matters for longevity Common gym mistakes that limit results How to build muscle safely at any age See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Piatowski is one of Australia's leading researchers on peptides and enhancement drugs, running the world's first steroid-checking trial and service. In this conversation, we cover everything from what peptides actually are to the underground markets driving their use across Australia. Tim explains the science behind popular compounds like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu, the risks of unregulated products, and why Australia's regulatory approach is pushing people toward dangerous illicit markets. We also explore the potential for peptides in healthy ageing, injury recovery, and why our government's silence on this growing trend is creating more problems than solutions. We speak about: • What peptides are and how they work as signalling molecules • BPC-157 for tissue healing and inflammation reduction • GHK-Cu copper peptides for collagen synthesis and skin health • Growth hormone releasing peptides like CJC-1295 and tesamorelin • The contamination crisis in illicit enhancement drugs • Legal pathways vs underground markets in Australia • How peptides could transform healthy ageing and falls preventionSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maria Andriano is one of Australia's leading strength coaches whose incredible physique at 54 proves that muscle truly is the fountain of youth.  In this episode, she reveals why building and maintaining muscle mass isn't just about aesthetics—it's your first line of defence against aging, illness, and frailty. • Why women lose 10% muscle mass every decade after 30 and how to stop it • The five compound movements every woman should master for longevity • Post-workout nutrition timing that actually builds muscle (not just burns calories) • How strength training during menopause can reverse hormonal decline • Why the Ozempic generation is setting themselves up for metabolic disaster • Maria's exact training split for maximum muscle gain with minimal gym time • The truth about why most people plateau after years of training All content is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we unpack the science of stress and its impact on longevity. You’ll learn how chronic stress influences neurodegenerative disease, why not all stress is bad, and the mindset shifts that help build resilience. Dr. Landowski also shares practical tools to manage stress and improve sleep, the powerful role of social connection and prosocial behaviours, and the hidden downsides of alcohol and drugs in stress management. We also explore how continual learning and cognitive reserve can protect your brain as you age. If you want to understand how stress really affects your body and mind—and discover the science-backed tools to take control—this episode is a must-listen.

We also highlighted the importance of community, weight training, and some practical advice he’d share. Additionally, we discussed Dr. Wu’s collaboration with renowned longevity expert Dr. David Sinclair, along with much more.Follow Project 100 on Instagram.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter & YouTube.  Scientific Studies discussed:Dog Aging Project - Test of Rapamycin in Aging Dogs (TRIAD)Authors: The Dog Aging Project TeamGenetic Studies of Ashkenazi Jews by Dr. Nir BarzilaiAuthors: Dr. Nir BarzilaiCHAMP Study (Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project)Authors: This study involves researchers from the Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project team"Eat Like the Animals" by Steve Simpson and David RaubenheimerAuthors: Professor Steve Simpson, Professor David RaubenheimerStudy on Bed Rest and Muscle Mass in Older IndividualsAuthors: Unspecified; associated with aging research teamsUniversity of Sydney Research on Weightlifting for Older AdultsAuthors: University of Sydney research teamProfessor Sally Dunwoodie's Research at Victor Chang Cardiac Research InstituteAuthors: Professor Sally Dunwoodie and research teamDr. Wu on Reducing Chemotherapy Side EffectsAuthors: Dr. Wu and co-authorsSir John Gurdon's Study on DNA Damage RestorationAuthors: Sir John GurdonShinya Yamanaka's Discovery of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (2006)Authors: Shinya YamanakaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Widely recognised as an expert in DEXA technology, Dr. Meerkin has built a distinguished career in both research and clinical practice.After completing his PhD, Dr. Meerkin became the National Sports Science Research Coordinator for the Australian Paralympic Committee. He then spent four years as a senior research fellow at QUT, focusing on obesity and exercise research. Six years ago, he moved to Sydney, where he continues to integrate research with clinical work before co-founding Measure Up.In this episode, we explore the intricacies of DEXA, RMR, and VO2 max testing, delving into why these assessments are regarded as vital measures of healthspan and longevity. I’ve personally undergone all of these tests, and we take time to reflect on my results throughout the discussion. While these are a few key metrics, we’ll be covering even more valuable insights as we continue this journey.Scientific Studies discussed:ZiMian Wang, Zhiliang Ying, Anja Bosy-Westphal, Junyi Zhang, Britta Schautz, Wiebke Later, Steven B Heymsfield, and Manfred J MüllerSpecific metabolic rates of major organs and tissues across adulthood: evaluation by mechanistic model of resting energy expenditure.Leah M.
