It’s JAM here.

Last Tuesday started like any other until I received a call from a woman whose boss needed to use a piece of equipment at the Regenus Center. Her boss was preparing for a massive four-day event. He was not feeling well after a recent trip and wanted to ensure he was ready. He planned to divert his helicopter to the local airport and visit. She emphasized how busy he was and how critical it was for him to be in a position of strength for the event.

However, logistical challenges arose when they couldn’t secure a landing spot at Morristown airport. She then asked if I could bring the equipment to his apartment in the city instead. While running the Regenus Center demands my full attention, the opportunity intrigued me, so I decided to adapt. If he was willing to “divert his helicopter,” meeting him could be interesting.

The next day, I packed the equipment and headed to the city. I arrived at an exclusive hotel and took the elevator, unaware of who I would serve. After passing through several security checkpoints, we entered the penthouse, and it became clear.

Tony Robbins sat there, preparing for his Unleash the Power Within weekend at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

As I greeted him with an ear-to-ear grin, it felt like a full-circle moment.

In my early 20s, I worked for one of the leading Anthony Robbins & Associates franchises, attending events like Date with Destiny and Mastery. I also visited the Del Mar Castle (Tony’s well-known home, shown in the popular Personal Power Infomercials at that time). I immersed myself so deeply in his teachings that, for a while, I thought I had to be like Tony to succeed.

Tony is a tour de force and a mega high achiever on top of being our generation's leading transformational life coach if you don’t already know that. So, in my early 20s, being like Tony was a big shoe to fit even though I was and still am a high-performance-oriented person up to ambitious goals in the world.

When I saw Tony this past week, I said to him, “If it weren’t for you, I don’t think I’d be in the performance (energy) recovery or lifestyle development and coaching business I’m in today.” Back then, Tony opened my mind to the unlimited power within, ultimately revolutionizing how I approached life. However, over time, I also learned that operating from a peak performance mindset—living by beliefs like “If I can’t, I must”—without top regard for revitalizing and managing energy with performance lifestyle support leads to tiring, burning, and wearing out prematurely.

That was why I was ultimately driven to create Revitalize™ with the Bio Vitality Protocol™ and the lifestyle mindset and skill set called Performance Lifestyle®. Over three decades, I chipped away at how to live a “balanced and healthy” high-achieving life so that I and others could stop feeling so overwhelmed, out of balance, and tired … while achieving ambitious goals.

The Missing Links: Revitalizing and Energy Management in a High-Performance World

In the late ’80s and early ’90s, society began celebrating nonstop productivity and still does today. Performance was measured by achievement, often at the expense of health and well-being, and still is. The work-life balance boundaries disappeared as people chased opportunities in a rapidly evolving, tech-driven world. Sleep and recovery were afterthoughts, and I, like many others, began to experience their effects.

Lifestyle development isn’t just about optimization; it’s about orchestrating the change, improvement, and optimization needed to maintain a lifestyle that supports and aligns with your goals, promotes energy and health, and ensures sustainable success and longevity. As the decades have passed, I’ve connected the dots to help myself and others avoid the pitfalls of energy depletion and achieve their goals without sacrificing their well-being.

Tony Robbins: A Lesson in Recovery and Revitalization

Tony is a global icon, leading businesses that generate over $9 billion annually. You would be hard-pressed to find a higher-performing person. Yet even he acknowledges the toll his relentless pace has taken on his body. So, to help himself accelerate recovery, Tony has embraced biohacking and revitalization strategies, including technologies and protocols that help him recover and sustain his energy.

He even wrote a book called Life Force (2022) “to help anyone sustain peak performance and lead a healthy and more vital life,” as the top goal scorer of all time, Cristiano Renaldo put it.

As his guest at the event, while having huge life-changing breakthroughs (I mean the kind that lasts a lifetime), I experienced firsthand, yet again, how taxing even a transformational experience can be (especially at an amazing Tony Robbins event) on top of life, kids, running a business, etc. Despite only attending 60% of the event due to my schedule, I sometimes lost my voice and felt utterly depleted.

Thanks to photobiomodulation, part of the BioVitality Protocol we offer at the Regenus Center, I recovered quickly, restored my energy, and maintained resilience and excitement through an excessively high-stress week.

The Moral of the Story: The Power of Revitalization

Energy is unforgiving. You can’t sustain “healthy” high performance without regularly recharging, restoring, and rejuvenating your body, let alone “peak” performance, which is only available to even the best for short periods each day. Tony Robbins has learned to cope with his demanding schedule by proactively incorporating recovery practices, but he, too, faces challenges balancing energy recovery and health maintenance with his massive success.

We all encounter this challenge, but now we have the tools to address it effectively. The more you learn to revitalize with a bio-vitality protocol that works for you proactively, the healthier you will be and the better your body/brain will function and perform.

Tony, known for speaking for long periods and maintaining high energy levels, is increasingly revitalizing for longevity, I’m sure, both in business and life. He’s a testimony to progressively living a performance lifestyle unique to him over the past 46 years while transforming people’s lives.

Here’s what you can learn from this:

Are you living authentically, or are you comparing yourself to others and thinking that’s how you should live or the pace or level you should live? Tony inspired me in countless ways, but perhaps I wasn’t meant to model my life so closely to his early on. He’s Tony Robbins, “TR,” and I’m John Allen Mollenhauer, “JAM.” Today, I’m far more successful living and achieving at a pace I can sustain rather than exhausting myself trying to keep up with someone else’s.

1. Are you proactively recovering your energy? Beyond sleep, do you engage in practices that restore your vitality?

2. Do you use advanced rejuvenation technologies? Tools like those at the Regenus Center can accelerate recovery and keep you healthy and functioning at your best.

3. Do you have a system for revitalization? A structured protocol that ensures you consistently recharge, restore, and rejuvenate your body and brain to prevent burning out.

Why This Matters

Whether you’re leading a company, raising a family, or pursuing ambitious goals—or maybe all three—revitalizing your body and managing your energy is key.

If you don’t incorporate revitalizing proactively into your lifestyle and approach to achieving your goals and can’t make time because you overextend or take on too much, etc., you will prematurely tire, burn, and wear yourself out, compromising your health and success.

By prioritizing energy recovery and developing a performance lifestyle you can call your own, you can achieve sustainable success and well-being.

Your Next Step?

Take a moment to reflect on your lifestyle. Are you creating space to revitalize your body and brain proactively? What realizations are you coming to about the importance of energy management in your life?

Stay vital,
John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”
