Residents, guests, and friends of our community gathered for a memorable morning as we welcomed Australia’s #1 longevity expert Marcus Pearce to share his insights on living well, ageing with purpose, and truly making the rest of your life the best of your life.
As the host of the podcast “100 Not Out” which interviews over 200 centenarians, Marcus regularly travels to the Mediterranean Blue Zones like Sardinia and Ikaria (also known as ‘the island where people forget to die’) to explore the secrets and insights of longevity which he shared during his talk in the private Swinburne Theatre at Rylands of Hawthorn. Throughout his presentation, Marcus highlighted the simple but powerful lifestyle choices that contribute to longevity: meaningful relationships, daily movement, purposeful routines, and a positive mindset. These themes aligned beautifully with the values and culture of our community, creating a natural synergy between his research and the Rylands lifestyle.
Following the session, residents enjoyed light refreshments and the opportunity to meet Marcus personally, ask questions, and continue the conversation. The event was a wonderful celebration of learning, connection, and community and we look forward to inviting more inspiring speakers.
