In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Dan Pardi for a deep dive into all things health, longevity, and cognitive performance. We get into the science of stem cells and aging, the real benefits (and limits) of popular supplements, and how nootropics like Ritalin and Modafinil actually work—or don’t—in the real world. We also talk about how to integrate training and movement into insanely busy lives, the psychology of health behavior, and why being flexible in your approach (not just in your hamstrings) is key to long-term success. This episode is brought to you by Quaia Life, where Dan’s doing some fascinating work on cutting-edge supplements designed to optimize health and performance. They’re offering listeners 15% off their products, right HERE with the code DRMIKE at checkout. If you want a mix of actionable tips, science-backed insights, and a peek behind the curtain of how top researchers think about performance and aging, you’ll definitely want to tune in.

Quick update, Meatheads: 9 of the 15 seats in The Meathead Engine Project are taken. That leaves six. Enrollment closes tonight, Friday, at midnight Pacific. Six months of aerobic programming built around your lifting, your recovery, and your current level of conditioning. Not some recycled cardio spreadsheet dug out of a dusty folder from 2017. Actual programming from yours truly, adjusted as you progress, with testing on both ends so we can see what the hell actually happened. We fire up...
Super stoked about the response to the Meathead Engine Project so far. I’ve gotten a few versions of the same questions so instead of letting those objections reproduce in the dark like unsupervised gym socks, let’s kill the big three. “I Don’t Have Time For Cardio” I get it. No self-respecting Meathead wants to spend 12 hours a week pedaling toward nowhere only to emerge with a blistered keester and an exciting new hatred of bicycles. Me neither. That’s exactly why the goal here is: Get the...
If you missed last night’s email, or skimmed it while life was throwing furniture at you, here are the full Meathead Engine Project details I want to tell you why I’m doing this for six months. The Number Was Dog Crap For years, I made the same mistake a lot of lifters make. My lifting was programmed. Cardio was…stuff. A little Zone 2 here. Some harder work there. Maybe a heroic rowing session when guilt finally won the argument. I was training hard, so I figured my aerobic system was “good...
