Mini Motivation: Optimal Iron Levels and How to Get There

In this special Healthy Her series, we go behind the scene of the new Channel 9 TV show Do You Want to Live Forever and get the low down of what really went on. Host Amelia Phillips was the programmer on the show, designing the longevity protocols for the participants.

Today you'll hear from Father son duo, Duncan Armstrong and Tom Bruce. Duncan, former olympic world record holding swimmer and Tom Bruce his equally athletic son discovered some concerning markers in their onboarding tests, and their journey brought real emotion to the show. As you’ll find out through the series the stakes for these guys was very high, but what became evident was the incredible bond between Father and son, and what a glowing example they represented of two emotionally mature men. There is so much to be gained from their inspiring journey over the series. A great listen espeically if heart disease runs in your family. 

About the guests:

Duncan Armstrong, 55, Queensland

Duncan Armstrong made waves as a gold medallist Olympic champion at the 1988 Seoul Games, securing Australia's 100th medal with a world record in the 200m freestyle. Duncan has earned national honors including Order of Australia Medal and Young Australian of the Year.

Post-retirement, he grappled with body image and health, later surviving a 2020 heart attack and triple bypass surgery. This ordeal reshaped his priorities, emphasising emotional well-being and the importance of support during life's challenges.

Today, Duncan's journey symbolises resilience and growth, inspiring others with his story of triumph over adversity. Duncan works in Queensland as a Motivational Speaker & Brand Strategy Manager.

Tom Bruce, 32, New South Wales

Tom, Duncan Armstrong's son, has a passion for sports, transitioning from swimming to rugby union during his 10 year stint living in the US. As a new dad of a young son, he juggles occasional fitness routines and fluctuating eating habits, recognising room for lifestyle improvements.

Like his father, Tom navigates the post-athlete challenges, emphasising the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He is also aware that he may have inherited some of his dad's predisposition to heart disease.

Together, they share a journey of ups and downs, acknowledging the often-overlooked struggles of retired athletes. Tom works in Newcastle, NSW as a Construction Manager.

Longevity TV Show Special: Duncan Armstrong and Tom Bruce on Heart Health

Do You Want to Live Forever? What about living HEALTHIER years for longer? That is the promise of  a new Channel 9 series Do You Want To Live Forever. Host Amelia Phillips speaks with the creator of the show Dr Nick Coatsworth and goes behind the scenes to understand the 'why' behind the show, what surprised (and scared!) him most about the participants, his own personal struggles, and the longevity interventions he now uses in his life. 

About the guest:

Dr Nick is an infectious disease physician, a respiratory physician, a practitioner of disaster and humanitarian medicine, and a senior public administrator. You would remember him from the COVID19 days when he was the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Australia calmly supporting the nation through one of its greatest health challenges.

Longevity TV show Special: Dr Nick Coatsworth on creating a longevity series

If you are interested in health, longevity, and how to shift the most stubborn of habits, then todays episode is for you! Host Amelia Phillips goes behind the scenes on the new TV show she worked on that just aired on Channel 9. Do You Want to Live Forever is a four part observational Documentary all about longevity, that follows 8 everyday participants as they have their health and bio-ages tested, and then complete a 12 week longevity protocol. Today we will be meeting Eliana and Enver, husband and wife duo from sydney who had some very unhealthy habits that dramatically impacted their bioage. We learn how they overcame the excess coffee, cigarettes, beer and junk food, the protocol, what worked and what didn't. 

About the guest:

Enver works long hours while Eliana travels for her job. Enver, dubbed the "grumpy old man" by his children since turning 50, grapples with impatience and regrets his lifestyle habits, including daily drinking and smoking and a poor diet. Fearing dementia, Enver wants to make changes to his lifestyle and be fit and healthy to be around for his grandchildren. 

His wife Eliana is deeply committed to her family and puts them ahead of her own health and well-being. Eliana is a Regional Manager for an Australian skincare and makeup company and regularly travels interstate.She manages the household of four adult children, and their partners, living under the same roof as her and Enver, while maintaining a demanding career on the road.

Known for her obsessive cleanliness and late-night snacking, I wanted to get the behind teh scenes scoop of their experience on this longevity experiment and their top tips for those trying to quit stubborn habits.
