As stated in the podcast, I'm stoked to work with Dr. Andy Galpin, Dan Garner, Anders, Doug, and the fantastic crew at Rapid Health!

Dr. Mike

What they miss are the secondary and tertiary factors that determine whether those drivers can actually be accessed consistently over time. In this episode, Ben and I unpack how: Aerobic...
Carb cycling has been floating around the fitness world for decades. Some people treat it like a magic trick.Others think it’s unnecessary complexity. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sat down with Jon Heck to talk through how carb cycling actually works in the real world, not as a diet gimmick, but as a practical tool for performance, recovery, and body composition when it’s applied correctly.
