Most high performers don’t have a discipline problem.
They have a recovery + biology problem.

In this episode of Transforming the Game, Kristina Katsanevas sits down with Michael O’Sullivan - mind and body performance coach, NLP practitioner, nutritionist, and CEO/Founder of Elite Power Moves (EPM) - to break down why “train more, eat less” keeps ambitious people tired, stuck, and underperforming.

Going deep on the layers most people ignore: belief systems, identity, behaviour, and the biological “owner’s manual” you can use to stop guessing.

In this episode, we cover:

Why your beliefs, identity, and behaviors shape your health outcomes (not just your workouts)
Michael’s story: from 145kg and depressed to building EPM
The difference between “normal” vs optimal bloodwork (and why “normal” can be a red flag)
How DNA + blood + hormone testing removes guesswork and personalizes your plan
Why high stress keeps people in fight-or-flight (and what that does to performance)
What HRV (heart rate variability) actually tells you about recovery
Why sleep is the fastest lever (including the goal of more restorative sleep)
How cortisol rhythm and insulin resistance can affect energy, focus, and results
Practical habit examples you can apply immediately (even when you’re busy)

Michael’s core promise is simple: “One hour with us saves you a thousand hours of guesswork.”

If you’re building a career, a business, or a family-and you want better energy, clarity, and longevity-this one is for you.
