Want to know what the secret is to aging well? To live with quantity AND quality of life? To live independently, with vitality, vigour, energy, enthusiasm and complete love for your life? Well, there are hundreds of “secrets”, you can have both quantity and quality, and on 100 Not Out Dr Damian Kristof and wellness coach Marcus Pearce interview the people that are living their lives with all of the above.

100NO 506: Superfeast’s Mason Taylor on Mushrooms, Adaptogens, Yin, Yang & Longevity
If there’s a so-called “trend” that is here to stay my bet is it would be mushrooms. Not only because they’re more “normal” than kale but I think because they’re filled with an ancient wisdom that is hard to argue with and mushrooms seem to be a part of many longevity...
