High performers think they can outwork stress — until their bodies prove them wrong.

In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Taz Bhatia, a nationally recognized integrative medicine physician, to uncover why ignoring your health is the fastest way to sabotage your success. From cortisol spikes and energy crashes to the hidden costs of “powering through,” Dr. Taz reveals why the most ambitious leaders can’t afford to treat wellness as optional — and what it really takes to build resilience that lasts.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why Type-A achievers often miss the early red flags of burnout — and how to spot them in yourself


• How to design a health plan that fits your lifestyle instead of adding another job to your calendar


• What it takes to extend not just your lifespan, but your health span, so every year is high performing

If you want to keep winning at the highest level, this conversation will show you why performance starts with wellness.
