E156 | How Mastering Recovery Will Improve Your Performance with Phil Learney

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk is joined by Phil Learney, coach, educator, and founder of HMN24, to break down one of the most overlooked drivers of performance: recovery.

If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or high performer constantly pushing for more—but neglecting your sleep and recovery—this episode will challenge how you think about energy, output, and long-term success.

Phil shares powerful insights into why sleep is a performance tool, and how to structure your life around it for sustainable results.

• The real cost of poor sleep on performance, stress, and injury risk

• Why stimulants by day and depressants by night create a dangerous loop

• How to align your habits with your natural circadian rhythm

• The critical role of environment, light, and routine in sleep quality

• Why consistency is king: setting targets for sleep like you would for training or business

• How Human 24’s day-parted supplement system supports recovery and high energy without disrupting your body’s rhythm

• Small first steps to optimise sleep—even if your lifestyle feels chaotic

If you’re always on the go but feel like you’re burning out or plateauing, this episode will give you practical tools to improve your energy, focus, and recovery—without slowing down.

Sleep isn’t weakness. It’s a competitive edge.
