Habits of High Performers Podcast with James Laughlin

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Dr Ellie, longevity expert and wellness strategist, to explore what truly moves the needle when it comes to living longer, healthier, and stronger. We cut through the noise of biohacking trends, supplements, and wellness hype to focus on the fundamentals that matter most: movement, nutrition, recovery, sleep, and muscle. 

Dr Ellie shares why biology dictates reality, how small daily decisions shape long term health, and why muscle is the true longevity organ. We also dive into practical habits for better sleep, managing stress, building strength, and creating a lifestyle that supports energy, clarity, and resilience. 

We also discuss the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs, when they may be helpful, and why no shortcut can replace the power of prioritising your health from the ground up. This is a practical and powerful conversation on building a longer, stronger, and healthier life.

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Christine Li, procrastination coach and psychologist, to explore why procrastination is far more than just putting things off. We unpack the real cost of delay, how it disconnects us from the present moment, and why it often pulls us away from the path that matters most. 

We dive into the emotional roots of procrastination, the role fear and anxiety play in keeping us stuck, and how to recognise when we are quietly moving in the opposite direction of what we truly want. Christine also shares her powerful idea of the “main path” and how fun, expansion, and presence can help us know whether we are heading in the right direction.

Christine breaks down her simple but practical SMACK framework for overcoming procrastination through simplicity, mindfulness, anxiety reduction, communication, and kindness to self. We also explore flow, habits, morning routines, clutter, self trust, and how to build a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more aligned.

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Monique Andrews, an expert in embodied neuroscience, to explore how the body and brain work together to shape our thoughts, emotions, and performance.

We dive into why you are not a slave to your stress, anxiety, or physiology, and how simple practices like breathwork and somatic tracking can rapidly shift your state and rewire your nervous system.

Dr. Mo breaks down the five core rules of the body, why pain is often an alarm rather than a problem, and how curiosity, not control, is the key to transforming your lived experience.

If you want practical tools to regulate your nervous system, perform under pressure, and take back control of how you feel and show up each day, this episode will give you a great starting point.

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Caroline to unpack something simple but powerful… your morning routine.

We dive into why your morning sets the tone for your entire day, how habits become hardwired over time, and why most people overcomplicate routines and then struggle to stick to them.

We explore what actually works, from building a routine that fits your lifestyle, to the importance of movement, journaling, and creating discipline over relying on motivation.

If you want a simple, realistic approach to mornings that you will actually follow, this conversation will give you a practical starting point.

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Mike Michalowicz, one of the world’s leading thinkers on behavioural finance and the bestselling author of Profit First.

We dive into the ideas behind his latest book, The Money Habit, and why financial success is far less about knowledge and far more about habits and systems.

Mike explains why most people struggle with money, how our brains are wired to spend the moment income arrives, and the simple six account structure that can bring clarity, control, and confidence to your finances.

If you want a practical system to manage money without relying on willpower, this conversation will give you a powerful starting point.
