I was blown away

Your favorite nerd here coming at you from Weatherford TX where I am hanging out with my coach Adam Glass and his wife Ashely. I am currently levitating three inches off my chair because holy hell… Dan Garner — yes, that Dan Garner — dropped some words that hit me straight in my surgically repaired heart. Here’s what he wrote: “My buddy Mike T. Nelson has this massive library of bite-sized videos on physiology, performance, and metabolism stuff. I read that and immediately spilled coffee on myself like a caffeinated baby deer learning to walk. Because Dan isn’t just some random fitness influencer swinging his big ballZ around (kettlebells - what were you thinking? ) on TikTok. Dan is one of the sharpest performance minds on Earth. So when he says something like that? It’s like Arnold complimenting your biceps, or your grandma saying you look “healthy” and actually meaning it. ....But enough about me, lets talk about you because this isn’t a victory lap, this is a door you can walk through. Why I Built the Micro-Lectures (aka Nerd Netflix for Meatheads) You and I both know fitness education can turn into a dumpster fire:
Meanwhile, what coaches actually need is the opposite: • Fast So I made a library of 5–10 min micro lectures — physiology, metabolism, performance, recovery, VO₂max, HRV, breathing, fuel systems, weird science, meathead cardio, and the stuff nobody explains but everybody argues about. If the Flex Diet Cert and Phys Flex Cert are the full feasts… ...The micro-lectures are the espresso shots of truth. No fluff. Why These Matter Because every coach needs an edge. You need understanding — the ability to see the physiology behind the problem. Once you get that? Everything gets easier:
You stop guessing. That’s what Dan was pointing at. And honestly? That is the real flex. Cost? Plus I want to make this accessible to everyone and take the issue of price off the table, so for a limited time they are literally pay what you want. That's correct, you literally pay what you want. I've had some literally pay zero or 1 cent up to $350. This is a one time purchase and I am not out to haunt your Visa card every month. Check out the micro-lecture library here → Practical Takeaway Then apply it today. That’s your win. Much love, metabolic mischief, and a huge thanks to Dan for the kind words, Dr Mike PS - once you pay what you want, it unlocks all of the micro-lectures for one price, go to the link below https://miketnelson.com/microlectures/ ____________________ Mike T Nelson CISSN, CSCS, MSME, PhD Mike T Nelson is a PhD and not a physician or registered dietitian.

I recently joined Nick Shaw on the Renaissance Periodization Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on metabolic flexibility, fuel systems, and practical strategies for improving body composition and performance. We dug into how the body switches between carbohydrates and fat as fuel depending on the demands of the activity. High-power efforts rely heavily on carbohydrates because they can generate ATP faster, while lower-intensity work shifts more toward fat metabolism. We also covered why...
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ashley Dwyer, a PharmD-turned nutrition and fitness coach, to cover a wide range of topics, with a strong focus on PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), a metabolic condition that affects fertility, cycles, and systemic health. We dig into practical lifestyle strategies for insulin-resistant PCOS, including balanced meals, protein and fiber, blood sugar management, movement, and stress reduction, plus why long-term keto often isn’t a...
Every once in a while something I’ve been preaching in the iron dungeon and to all my M3 online 1-1 clients for years escapes into the wild. Recently Muscle & Fitness featured one of my favorite upper-back tweaks—the heavy face pull—a simple adjustment that lets you load the movement harder without turning your shoulder joints into shredded beef jerky. Kudos to Fitness Newsletter Insider Shane for including me in the full article. Here’s the excerpt from it ‘HEAVY’ FACE PULLS The heavy face...
