CEUs, Caffeine, and Metabolic Chaos — You In?


It’s CEU Panic Season, and the inboxes of trainers everywhere are starting to smell like stale protein shakes and regret.

You know the vibe:
Deadline in six weeks.
You’ve got 1.9 CEUs left to earn.
You’re staring down courses titled “Why you should do toe yoga”

Hard pass.

Let’s fix this.

I cracked the vault on the Flex Diet Cert for a limited time through Monday at midnight — because CEUs shouldn’t feel like academic waterboarding.

Here are 12 reasons to do it before your brain cells stage a walkout:


1. Real CEUs.
NASM
NSCA
ACE
Not “Totally Legit Internet Fitness Academy dot my as$$”

2. You’ll learn metabolic flexibility,
AKA how your body flips between carbs and fat like a hybrid engine that drinks espresso and farts out ATP.

3. It’s self-paced.
No Zoom prison.
No attendance code tattooed on your soul.
You can do this whenever you want as long as you have an internet connection.

4. It gives you coaching superpowers.
You’ll actually know why your client’s fat loss died faster than a TikTok trend — and how to resurrect it for real results.

5. You’ll speak physiology like a native tongue.
Your clients will think you’re Gandalf with a glucose monitor.

6. Science + sarcasm = learning that sticks.
Expect mitochondria, metal references, and the occasional F-bomb with a slide deck that looks like a drunk chicken got loose and had a psychotic break on the screen.
If you are looking for Hollywood style production, this is not for you...

...but if you want hardcore information that works delivered in plain language, this is for you.

7. Eight interventions.
Sleep, Protein, Fats, Carbs, Fasting, Training, NEAT, Micros.
Five action steps each. No fluff, no crystals.

8. Every claim has receipts.
Real studies not some made up AI hallucinations.

9. You’ll coach better under pressure.
Because understanding bioenergetics beats guessing every day of the week.

10. You’ll use it instantly.
Apply what you learn the same day instead of waiting for enlightenment in Module 47.

After you complete the first intervention of Protein - which is 3 modules, you can literally start coaching your client on it.

Of course you can wait until you finish it, but I designed the Cert so that you can apply it ASAP. This also allows you to start earning a return on your investment pronto.

11. Lifetime access.
Rewatch any time.
2 AM insomnia? Learn about RER values instead of doom-scrolling IG.

12. It’s actually fun.
Short modules, dark humor, caffeine-driven chaos. It is hardcore information, but delivered in a fun style with impromptu metal references and corgi pictures .


You will get CEUs, keep your certs alive, and become the kind of coach who uses the science of metabolic flexibility + flexible dieting to get your clients great results in less time.
