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.
