We sit down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, Founder of OWN IT and author of "The Power of Ownership," to explore why lasting health transformation starts with identity, not habits. He shares his journey from burnout as an NHL performance director to building a holistic coaching practice for business leaders, the science of heart rate variability as the body's language, and the daily rhythms that allow the body to heal itself. We also discuss the "devil cycle" of all-in or all-out health behaviors, the 3-2-1 rule for sleep and recovery, and why your identity must grow alongside your business.
Key Takeaways:

01:30 From fat kid to anorexic teen to burnt-out NHL performance director.

“The definition of transformation is to alter form and function. And so, once you become something, you can’t go back.”- Justin Roethlingshoefer
