HRV
Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.

Check out the podcast below.
>> Tracking HRV and Sleep with the Oura Ring <<
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!

I am still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

The peptide world found mitochondria. Please hide your wallet. One of the up and coming peptides is one called SS-31. The pharmaceutical version has an FDA-approved lane for Barth syndrome, which is a rare mitochondrial disease. And that’s exactly why this gets messy. When something is pure supplement-rack sewer foam, it’s easy to point, laugh, and move on with your life. But SS-31 — also called elamipretide — is a real mitochondrial-targeted compound with real biology behind it. Cool...
As you saw, the Flex Diet Cert slammed shut t this past Monday night and huge congrats to all of you who are enrolled this round. Wahoo! ..but if the price was too high or the wrong time, no worries as you did not get banished to the metabolic wasteland forever. Another round comes back slated for Jan or Feb 2027, and I’ll make enough noise that your neighbor’s dog will know about it. However, if you want to learn all about met flex on the cheap, you are in luck as sat down with Dr. Jeremy...
In 1990, researchers did something wonderfully deranged. They took 12 pairs of identical twins, fed each man an extra 84,000 calories over 100 days, kept them mostly sedentary, and watched the metabolic dice roll across the lab floor. Everyone gained weight. Shocker I know. Physics did not pack a suitcase, fake its own death, and move into a cave in Nepal... ..Yet the amount they gained was wildly different. One guy gained under 10 pounds. Another gained almost 30. Keep in mind this was on...
