100NO 700: 700 Not Out - The Evolution From Wellness to Longevity

Welcome to episode 700 (!!) of Australia’s (and what we believe to be the world’s) longest-running podcast on mastering the art of ageing well. This milestone episode focuses in on the evolution of longevity and wellness over the past 13+ years.  From the early days of simple, lifestyle-based approaches to the current landscape shaped by medical advances, cynicism, and shifting cultural trends. We discuss the transformation from “wellness” to “longevity,” the rise of cynics and extremes in the health space, changing gender dynamics, and the importance of living not just a long life, but a life filled with vitality, purpose, and joy.  Whether you’re a longtime listener or tuning in for the first time, join us as we celebrate 700 episodes of empowering conversations on how to make the rest of your life the best of your life. 00:00 Reflecting on aging and travel experiences 04:30 Shifting perceptions on longevity 11:21 Trendy health food products 16:55 The shift in menopause treatment 19:53 Discussing longevity and cynicism 22:56 Cynicism about alcohol and ageing 25:45 Thoughts on Longevity and Life Quality 29:04 Discussing Marcus's book and success
