74 - How to Avoid Burning Out Your Nervous System and Achieve High Performance—In Body and Mind with Tania St. Laurent

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.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. Why Tania dedicated her life to exploring the connection between physical health and mental clarity.
2. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things with intention.
3. What it looks and feels like when you’re in sync—covering movement, nutrition, and recovery.
4. Simple, proven principles anyone can start applying today.
5. Why multitasking backfires—and how presence can shift your entire performance.
