Olympic gold medalist Duncan Armstrong is calling on all political parties to introduce $400 Healthy Living Vouchers for a million Australians because it would reduce costs to the health system. Olympic Legend Duncan Armstrong OAM told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "There's so much pressure on our hospital system at the moment." "The doctors are doing an outstanding job; the nurses and the healthcare workers, but they're under pressure." "There's an enormous burden on them and we believe that our exercise professionals can help with that with preventative health, which is exercise programs now," Duncan Armstrong said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this compelling episode, author Shane Stubbs shares his personal journey, deeply rooted in a tragic loss—his father's preventable death from a heart attack at age 46. Shane's mission is clear: to educate listeners on how simple yet powerful health metrics, like AQ Points and VO2 max, can transform their longevity and overall health. Shane introduces listeners to "The Perfect Health Lesson," a comprehensive framework he has developed over two decades. Backed by extensive research, collaboration with over 100 leading medical PhDs, and the innovative Health Impact Software, Shane provides actionable insights for achieving optimal well-being. He explains how tracking AQ Points—an advanced biometric for assessing the impact of physical activity—can lead to significant reductions in major health risks, such as heart disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Listeners will discover how consistent effort to raise AQ Points and VO2 max can protect against catastrophic cardiovascular events and chronic diseases. Shane's approach isn't just theoretical; it's supported by his personal experience of lowering his cardiovascular risk through these practices. Shane underscores the need for continuous action, using examples from his own life and the lives of others, like Olympic gold medalist Duncan Armstrong, to demonstrate the vital importance of tracking these metrics. By following "The Perfect Health Lesson," listeners can take control of their health, reduce clinical risks, and embrace a longer, healthier life.

https://www.perfecthealthlesson.com/book Chapter 4: Unlocking Lifelong Health with AQ Points—The Key to Reducing Clinical Risk Key Concept: "Big Doors Swing on Little Hinges" This chapter emphasizes the analogy of "big doors swinging on little hinges," representing how small actions (like tracking AQ Points and VO2 max) can lead to significant health outcomes. Without attention to these small hinges, your health door could swing shut, leading to catastrophic events, just like my father, Olympic gold medalist Duncan Armstrong, and the chairman of a $3 billion company. A Personal Story of Tragedy My father, a house painter, died at 46 from a heart attack, unaware of the importance of tracking cardiovascular health. Ignoring these small but crucial actions led to his door shutting too soon. Duncan Armstrong's Wake-Up Call Despite being an Olympic champion, Duncan Armstrong suffered a heart attack at 52. After losing track of his health post-career, he missed those small, crucial hinges that could have kept him healthy. The Chairman's Life-Changing Four Days At 58, a high-powered executive nearly lost everything due to a catastrophic health diagnosis. He calls it "The Four Days That Changed My Life." His story serves as a reminder that no matter your status, missing the small daily actions can lead to disaster. The Power of AQ Points and VO2 Max AQ Points measure the intensity of physical activity and how it improves health. Maintaining an AQ score of 100 or higher over time can significantly reduce your risk of illness and early death. VO2 max is the gold standard for cardiovascular fitness. Raising your AQ Points naturally increases your VO2 max, protecting you from heart attacks, strokes, and other chronic diseases. Consequences of Not Tracking AQ Points and VO2 Max Not tracking these metrics puts you at serious risk of excess weight, cardiovascular events, high blood sugar, and metabolic syndrome—akin to driving without a speedometer or fuel gauge. Dr. Peter Attia on VO2 Max Renowned physician Dr. Peter Attia emphasizes that raising your VO2 max is the most powerful intervention you can make for long-term health and longevity. Practical Steps to Raise Your AQ Points and VO2 Max Use the Health Impact Software to track your AQ Points and progress. Aim for 100 AQ Points per week to optimize health. Incorporate High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to boost VO2 max. Track progress to ensure consistent improvements. Conclusion By focusing on small, actionable steps—like raising AQ Points and improving VO2 max—you can dramatically reduce your risk of catastrophic health events and improve your healthspan.

https://www.perfecthealthlesson.com/book Chapter # 3: From Glory to Survival: The Missing Knowledge. As we continue on this journey, it becomes clearer why Duncan Armstrong's Olympic-level physical achievements, despite their remarkable nature, didn't protect him from a life-threatening cardiovascular event. It's easy to assume that peak fitness in your youth can shield you from future health problems, but that's simply not the case. Here, we arrive at one of the most important lessons in this audiobook—the missing knowledge that Duncan, and many others like him, didn't have. It's the knowledge that could have transformed his trajectory from a near-death experience to long-term health and vitality.
https://www.perfecthealthlesson.com/book Chapter # 2: Beyond the Gold: The Knowledge Duncan Armstrong Didn't Have After Swimming. In this chapter, we dive into the remarkable world of Duncan Armstrong. A young man who, at the age of 20, not only won an Olympic gold medal but became a global icon in one of the most highly competitive sports on Earth—swimming. Duncan knew what it took to win, and his journey to the top was a testament to deep engagement and commitment. When I say “deep engagement,” I'm talking about the kind of intense focus and determination that allows a person to swim over one million laps in a decade, to push through countless hours of training, and to stay laser-focused on a single goal: winning. But here's where the story takes a turn—a turn that is critically important for everyone listening. While Duncan Armstrong had mastered the art of peak performance in the pool, there was something missing. He had the kind of deep engagement and knowledge in swimming that few people in the world will ever achieve. But, like most of us, Duncan didn't have that same engagement or understanding when it came to his long-term health. And this is where The Perfect Health Lesson comes in.
Chapter # 1: The Race of His Life: How Duncan Armstrong Faced His Greatest Challenge The difference between November 1st, 1989 and November 10th, 2020 is 11,332 days. Before we dive into the significance of those two dates in this brand new 'Perfect Health Lesson Library' audiobook, let me take you back to one of the most electrifying moments in Olympic history. My main guest in this book is Duncan Armstrong. He etched his name into the record books as the Olympic champion, gold medalist, and world record holder in the men's 200-meter freestyle. Only 16 people in Olympic history have ever won this event, and Duncan's victory stands as one of Australia's most iconic sporting moments. Stay tuned, in the first few minutes of the book, where you will hear the race call for his gold medal. You'll also hear the unforgettable reaction from his legendary coach, Laurie Lawrence—a moment that still gives me chills every time I hear it. This is history in the making. This audiobook is being listened to in 97 countries, so many of you will have never heard of Duncan Armstrong, or the unlikely story behind his Olympic Gold medal. Click play now to get straight to the race that changed Duncan's life. In addiction to listening to the race, plus Duncan in his own words - throughout each chapter we will share 1-2 world expert PhD's from different health science disciplines. These Professors all have peer reviewed and published medical research. Their evidence (from across the globe) have studied millions and millions of people.

If you haven't heard Bill speak before, strap yourself in, because this episode is a crash course on greatness. I'm lucky to have been working with Bill over the past 6 months, and during this time his insights, influence, and positive outlook on life continue to blow me away. He's been called ‘the success guru at the heart of Penrith's rise to the top of the NRL. A little while ago it was Olympic champion Kieren Perkins who said: “Bill has the expertise, insight, and understanding into what makes a champion” It's said that Bill's unique approach enables him to help people get the absolute best out of themselves and those around them. Their results bear testament to this. Bill personally coached Daniel Kowalski, Mathew Dunn, Scott Miller, Michael Klim, Nicole Stevenson, Linley Frame, and Duncan Armstrong during a distinguished career. But it's the results he is able to help regular people like you and me achieve that makes him much much more than just a coach to the sporting elite… Throughout the episode, we cover: Lessons from 10-years of coaching Australian Olympians Bill's super simple method for living a happier life The number 1 thing we can give our children to help them lead a fulfilling life The 3-most important ingredients for realising your potential; and Why we must re-define failure if we're ever to succeed Thanks for tuning in and please enjoy this episode of The Australian Property Show featuring Bill Nelson.

It's the quadrennial event that unites the world in a kaleidoscope of excitement, triumph, and premium advertising opportunities.Here in Australia, we love a gold medal more than anything else (especially one we haven't budgeted for). And we'll never forget that the Sydney 2000 Games were universally declared the "best ever". It was a simpler time: the economy was booming, political leadership was stable, there were fewer Royal Commissions, Roy and HG were on Free-to-Air TV, and there were certainly no defamation lawsuits being levelled by Victoria Cross recipients.But today, the feats of Duncan Armstrong, Cathy Freeman, the Oarsome Foursome, Nikki Webster and Rod McGeoch are a distant memory, with the unconditional adoration for our plucky athletes and administrators making way for nitpickers hell-bent on calculating the precise taxpayer cost for each gold medal.So, is this glorified amateur athletics carnival still relevant in 2021? Or has COVID dulled our enthusiasm for this great global symbol of hope and peace? Are we too wrapped up in our provincial footy codes to consider the soft power diplomacy impact of winning a decathlon bronze? And hang on, has Brisbane seriously lobbed a bid for 2032?Featuring guest appearance by comedian and social commentator Sean Woodland. Audio production from Tim ‘T-Dog' Eldridge.
