Everyone nowadays is looking for quick fixes to studying, to fitness, and to wellness - but we know that long term wellness isn't made through quick, one time fixes. Join me today while I talk to Dr. Greg Wells, a performance physiologist and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto who is also an avid athlete, bestselling author, and CEO of Wells Performance, a consulting firm dedicated to helping individuals and corporations achieve their potential. In this episode we discuss the foundations of high performance, such as meditation, achieving quality sleep, falling in love with the process, and finding balance over time.
