461. Mastering Biological Fundamentals for Elite Performance with Dr. Kristen Holmes
Elite performance is not a personality trait. It is biology, managed intentionally.
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, to talk about what health tracking should actually do for you. They break down how to use wearable data without getting trapped in day-to-day noise, why sleep consistency beats chasing perfect sleep duration, and how recovery drives the capacity you need for clear thinking, stable energy, and better decisions. If you want the upside of high output without the crash that usually follows, this conversation gives you the framework.
Here's what you'll learn:
If you want to perform like an outlier, start living like your biology matters.
