Have you ever wondered what is the instruction manual for the operation of your entire body?

Welcome to your genes.

What are Genes?

And are they scary, defective and anxiety-causing beings?

Absolutely not!

On this episode we discuss the modern hysteria around genes and our health, and what’s required to bring some common sense and clarity back to the conversation.

We discuss -

Family history

Epigenetics

Lifestyle factors and genes

The influx of genetic diseases

And much more.

Mental health - and creating excellent mental health is not just a buzz term, but perhaps more important than ever in order to thrive both at work and in our personal lives.

Whilst the topic itself can seem overwhelming, we break down what we believe are 5 essentials to creating excellent mental health.

We discuss -

1. The power of sleep on good mental health, and it’s ability to diminish our mental health.
2. The importance of socialising in accordance with your personality (especially for introverts).
3. The role of social media consumption on mental health
4. The ingredient of regular movement, and how it can improve our mental health.
5. And the importance of eating, not just a healthy diet, but with other people around us.

The Imperfects Podcast

This episode is for the advanced learners! If you’re into gut health, and want to go beyond the basics, get ready for a masterclass.

We discuss the upper gut, middle gut and lower gut - the signs and symptoms of each area of the gut as well as the conditions that relate to each area.

From burping and indigestion to SIBO and parasites, each condition that starts in the gut comes from a different area of the gut.

Makes sense, right? But what we do about that, and how we go about improving our gut health depends on more than just where it’s originating.

How are you absorbing your food? And what do you do next?

From the sesame seed challenge and more conversations about poo, tune into the Laws of Gut Health.

Trevor Hendy is a six–time Australian surf life saving Ironman champion and member of the Australian Sporting Hall of Fame. However this isn’t why he’s speaking on 100 Not Out. Trevor is helping people right around the world shift their awareness around their entire life. In this conversation we explore the challenges of transitioning from one career to another, and amongst other things look at family, wealth and health.

Only the US, Switzerland and Hong Kong have more wealth than Australia.

Depending on who you ask, Australia might even be top of the wealth tree.

Regardless of what research you look at, it costs a good amount of money to live in Australia. And yet, for all of that, many Australians still aim to retire on the pension, not realising that they are setting goals to live in relative poverty.

On this podcast we discuss the laws of financial health. It’s not rocket science, it’s simply common sense. And we don’t share it in a prescriptive manner, since neither of us are financial experts.

Instead, we share our stories and experiences in the hope that you are on the right side of financial health as you get older and can enjoy the bounty of living in Australia.
