Summary
You can't build a high-performing business with a low-performing body. In this VIP Mastermind episode, Lori and I sit down with 3 experts who operate at the intersection of health, leadership, and elite performance. Lindsey Burwell breaks down why your metabolism isn't actually slowing down and how blood sugar and liver health may be the drivers behind weight gain and fatigue. Then, Ashley Ansuini shares how she built a 200+ person weekly Pilates community and scaled her studios without losing culture. Finally, elite performance specialist Dr. Matt Zanis talks about what working with Olympians, Navy SEALs, and how hormones are impacting modern men, and the non-negotiables that create longevity.
