The Origin of Performance Lifestyle
Performance lifestyle was a little-known that originally emerged in the world of elite athletics. It began as a personalized support service designed to help athletes’ sustain their training and win in their sport and sync up their sporting and non-sporting lives. By bringing both aspects into alignment, athletes saw improvement in their health, well-being, and athletic performance.
Unlike pro athletes, most of us don’t have the necessary information, education, and support – training, or coaching to optimize the way we live. Performance Lifestyle, Inc. was founded to make lifestyle training and support available to everyday achievers in life and business who want to live with optimal energy levels, for peak health and performance.
The Team
We are a group of people committed to living authentically, from the very best part of ourselves that gives rise to flow and living in the zone. We value a balanced and healthy approach to achieving our goals, and we practice what we preach. We fundamentally believe in the value of living a performance lifestyle based on scientific research, and the benefits of this choice spill over into our families and personal lives.
FAQ
Can I still practice a performance lifestyle even though I am not a very active person?
Absolutely! Performance Lifestyle was inspired by the world of elite athletics, but it applies to everyone. We are all athletes, in the sense that we must all harness and maintain optimal energy levels so we can achieve our goals, whether on or off the field.
Successful sports athletes are highly visible members of our society. But being a mom or dad, a driven business professional, an entrepreneur, or an executive also requires performance lifestyle training if you want to sustain and succeed without burnout and with your health and wellbeing intact.
What is the science behind a performance lifestyle?
A performance lifestyle is based on scientific research of the most effective lifestyle strategies. However, applications of a skill can vary, as each person’s circumstances are different and those circumstances can change.
Each principle and practice of Performance Lifestyle is based on peer-reviewed research and scientific studies, as well as practical sense with anecdotal logic when scientific research isn’t available. The science we draw upon includes evolutionary biology, bioenergetics, personal energy management, mindfulness and meditation, human performance, narrative psychology, high nutrient density nutrition, goal achievement, and more.
I am tired and burned out. Will a performance lifestyle help resolve that?
Addressing burnout, how to recover from fatigue, and harnessing and maintaining optimal energy levels are the primary objectives of the Performance Lifestyle curriculum. There is no aspect of a performance lifestyle that does not rely at least on a basic understanding of the science of energy, the energy principles, and core lifestyle practices. This is why Performance Living 101—The Secrets of Optimal Energy—is the introductory module to Performance Lifestyle’s PL365 Training for Life.

What will I learn in PL365?

You will also learn the interplay between these skills, so you can develop a whole, integrative lifestyle.
