The Laws of Wellness
Ever wondered what the laws of wellness really are? In this special podcast series commissioned by Zaparas Lawyers, longevity experts Dr Damian Kristof and Marcus Pearce (hosts of the 100 Not Out podcast), dive deep into the unconditional laws that make up what it is to be healthy.

Share these episodes with your colleagues, friends and family, so that you can grow a community that understand and live by the laws of wellness. https://www.zaparaslaw.com.au About Zaparas Lawyers Zaparas Lawyers has a proud tradition of service as a family business.

The Laws of Coffee, Wine & Chocolate
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
Coffee, wine and chocolate. Three delicious items most people love - and that most people have tried or are trying to give up.
On this episode of the Laws of Wellness, we discuss the good, the bad, and the stressful of coffee, wine and chocolate.
Is there a good time to give up coffee? How much is too much? Milk or no milk?
We talk about the 5 Golden Rules of Alcohol, which we both observed on Ikaria, the Greek Island known as the “island where people forget to die”.
And chocolate? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to see what we think of that ...
On a serious note, this episode is all about control. If any of coffee, wine and chocolate control you, then that’s a problem.
If you control them, then you’re in a position of wellness.

The laws of diet, supplements & superfoods
Wednesday Aug 31, 2022
Wednesday Aug 31, 2022
Diets, supplements and superfoods. Could there be any more confusing trio of topics in the health and wellness world?
Why do we diet? Do they even work? What are the best ones?
Supplements are a multi billion dollar industry and still even the most intelligent among us aren’t sure if they’re expensive urine, an insurance policy, or just a waste of money.
Superfood, meanwhile, wasn’t even a word until the early 2000s ... so what does this somewhat recent trend mean for our health?
All these questions get answered as Marcus puts Damian under the griller on this episode of The Laws of Wellness.
