  • Why You're Working Harder But Not Seeing Results: The Built to Last Webinar Recap YOU Need to Watch
    Jun 16 2026

    If you've ever thought:


    "I don't feel like myself."

    "I shouldn't be this tired."

    "Why am I working so hard for so little return?"


    this episode is for you.


    In this webinar replay, Emylee and Pieter from PAC BioPerformance explore the Core 4 systems that influence how you feel, recover, perform, and adapt to the demands of everyday life:


    Energy & Cellular Health

    Recovery & Tissue Repair

    Metabolism & Body Composition

    Hormone Health & Regenerative Signaling


    You'll learn why more discipline isn't always the answer, how to identify potential bottlenecks limiting your progress, and the framework PAC has used through thousands of transformations to help people achieve results that last.


    We also dive into medically guided wellness strategies, including peptide therapy, discussing what peptides are, who may benefit, common misconceptions, and the potential risks and considerations—even when everything is done right.


    Whether you're looking to improve energy, optimize recovery, enhance performance, or simply better understand your options, this episode will help you take a more informed approach to your health.


    Because getting results isn't just about working harder. It's about building a body that can keep up.

  • The Guy You Call When the Apocalypse Happens: Military, Movement & Longevity with Andy McKenzie
    Jun 9 2026

    If the apocalypse happens tomorrow and Piet gets one phone call, it's going to Andy McKenzie. Ex-British military, parachute regiment veteran, rehabilitation specialist, strength coach, and one of the most quietly brilliant minds in the health and performance space.


    Andy joined the military at 16, passed P Company at 17 — one of the hardest physical courses in the British armed forces — and served across Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and Iraq before a three-story fall fractured his neck and three parts of his spine. Instead of ending his career, that injury sent him down the path of rehabilitation, and he never looked back.


    In this conversation Andy and Piet cover what real coaching actually looks like — why the job of a great coach is subtraction not addition, how to train an injured athlete without treating them like they're broken, and why smashing people into exhaustion is the laziest and most counterproductive thing a coach can do. Andy shares the philosophy he built over 30 years working with special forces soldiers, professional rugby players, polar explorers, world class ultra marathon runners and everyday people who've been bounced around between doctors, physios and coaches and never got better — until they found him.


    They also get into fatherhood, the business of coaching, AI, community, and why the biggest predictor of longevity isn't your VO2 max — it's the quality of your relationships.

    This one is a masterclass. 🎙️💪
