Episode Details

Do you feel like you’re performing at a high level… but running on empty underneath?

In this ep, I sit down with Luke Maslin to unpack the hidden cost of high performance  and why so many ambitious recruiters are unknowingly burning themselves out.

Luke shares his journey from semi-pro athlete to struggling with anxiety and health challenges, and how that led him into the world of functional health, blood work analysis, and performance optimisation.

We dive into what’s really going on beneath the surface when you “feel fine” but aren’t operating at your best — and why most people are stuck in reactive health instead of proactive control.

We also explore the difference between a healthy high performer and an anxious overachiever — and why that distinction could determine your long-term success (and sanity).

Tune in for:
👉 Why “normal” blood test results don’t always mean you’re healthy
👉 The difference between reactive vs proactive health (and why it matters)
👉 Healthspan vs lifespan — and what you should actually care about
👉 The hidden trade-offs high performers make without realising
👉 How anxiety can drive success… but also destroy it
👉 The missing piece of true resilience (it’s not just mindset)

If you’re in recruitment, or any high-performance environment — this one will hit close to home.
