HRV
Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.
Is it a helpful conversation? What are some things to look out for?
I was recently on Barbell Shrugged to chat about HRV, sleep, and using the Oura ring.
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 helping with the visible stressor evaluations and Oura analysis. I've been working there part-time since November, and it is epic.
I am still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

Hey friend — your favorite nerd here.Strap in, because we’re about to dismantle one of the most overhyped pieces of gene bro-science ever to slither out of TikTok and into your DMs. I got this question again today - so I wanted to address it here The $599 Gene Test That Promises “Optimization” You’ve probably seen a certain Human Biologist that rhymes with “Shrecka” — peddling “the test that unlocks your...
When life tosses you stress and your magic 8-ball is spitting in your face, one of the “secret” tactics I use — and one I hammer home with my M3 1-on-1 clients and consults — is high-dose creatine. Yeah, I said it. Not your bro-standard 5 g scoop tossed in post-workout like it’s pixie dust for your traps. I’m talking 10–20 grams of phosphagen fury straight into the metabolic chaos when sleep is wrecked and caffeine has stopped working. I tested this "trick" during a brutal travel stretch —...
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 also talk about how to integrate training and movement into insanely busy lives, the psychology of health behavior, and why being...
