Pushing harder isn’t always the answer. Sustainable high performance comes from aligning your mind and body—not burning them out.
In this episode, holistic coach Tania St-Laurent—a certified osteopath in Canada with a degree in microbiology and over 20 years of experience as a movement specialist—shares how true performance begins with doing things the right way. Drawing from her background in science, mindfulness, and global experience across clinics, labs, and sports fields, Tania unpacks what sustainable performance actually looks and feels like.
We explore how movement, nutrition, and recovery work together to create long-term energy and focus, why presence is the most underrated skill, and how starting small can lead to big change. Tania, also a certified Lifestyle and Wellness Coach from Harvard Medical School, gives you practical tools to optimize your well-being and perform without depletion.
