Doctors Say it's Normal. Be Worried. Your Body knows what it needs
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.
