What can elite athletes teach us about living longer, performing better, and recovering faster?

In this episode of Becoming Limitless, Dr. Elie sits down with Mike Guevara, better known as Mr. Do It Moving, founder of GBG Hoops, performance coach to NBA and WNBA athletes, and partner at IM8. Mike shares the recovery, nutrition, and healthy aging strategies used by some of the world’s top athletes, and explains how anyone can apply them to improve energy, resilience, performance, and longevity.

Together, they explore the foundations of elite performance, recovery, nutrition, healthy aging, and the role that comprehensive nutrition plays in supporting long term health and resilience. The conversation goes beyond professional sports and examines how the principles used by elite athletes can be applied by anyone seeking better energy, recovery, healthspan, and quality of life.

Mike shares lessons from nearly two decades of working with some of the world’s top athletes and explains why recovery is often the most overlooked performance tool. We discuss sleep quality, heart rate variability (HRV), stress management, nutrition, supplementation, and the daily habits that separate good performers from great ones.

A major focus of the discussion is IM8 and the philosophy behind its formulation. Mike explains why the product was developed, the challenges of obtaining optimal nutrition from modern food sources, and how comprehensive daily nutrition strategies can help address common nutritional gaps. We also discuss ingredient selection, quality control, third party testing, athlete safety, and why supplement quality matters more than ever.

The conversation explores the realities of modern lifestyles, frequent travel, demanding schedules, family commitments, and how to maintain consistent health habits despite these challenges. Mike shares practical strategies that can help anyone improve recovery, performance, and healthy aging, regardless of whether they are an elite athlete or simply trying to perform better in everyday life.
