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

>> 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

Happy New Year's Eve you savage! Many people 'out there' wandering the purple hallowed halls of PF think metabolic health means controlling blood sugar or burning fat efficiently. That’s not wrong.... ...but it’s incomplete. Real health and performance come down to adaptability!How well your body handles stress, performs under pressure, and then recovers so you can do it again without slowly breaking down.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I catch up with my good friend Jason Brown to dig into the intersection of strength training and aerobic development.
