Just give me 2 minutes
If you didn’t catch my earlier email, take a quick second to pause your day to read this one because it’ll only take 2 minutes, and it could be the one thing that changes the way you train your clients for life.
The Phys Flex Cert is officially OPEN for enrollment now.
When you enroll by tonight (Tues) at midnight PST, you get 2 bonus items:
- Fast action 48-hour bonus = Private 1-1 call with me valued at $250 – no cost to you
- The pre-recorded “Ask Me Anything” calls (expires this Wed at midnight)
After getting Phys Flex Certified, you’ll know:
- How to strategically program cold/hot therapy, breathwork, and the other homeostatic regulators that build robust and recoverable humans.
- How to help your clients become physiologically strong which will have them thriving in the uncertainty and stress that life throws at them.
- How to help your clients recover physically and mentally much faster from training.
This course was built for you if…
- You’re a trainer/coach who wants to have a step up/differentiator from other trainers. Most trainers don’t have the knowledge to program breathwork, hot/cold therapy, and how to work with pH changes and blood glucose in a way that’s simple yet very powerful for your average client.
- You’re a fitness enthusiast who’s confused about the latest fitness trends (biohacks, cough cough) and wants to know exactly how to work with them based on scientific studies.
In the Phys Flex Cert, I’m giving you the exact system that I use to train my clients on recoverability, health, and robustness.
Whether you’re an experienced trainer or simply have a passion for fitness, this course is for you.
The only requirement is that you show up, commit to yourself, commit to your current and future clients, and stop lighting your hair on fire.
I won't sit here and tell you that the course is easy.
I go ballZ deep in many areas via real research and practice for almost 30 total hours.
However, I know you can do it, and I'm here to personally answer any questions you have about the material.
That's right, you'll get my private email to ask any questions, and if you enroll before midnight tonight, you will also get a 1-hour private call to ask me anything.
I will do whatever I can to help you understand and apply the material.
You got this!
Much love,
Dr Mike
PS – The 48-hour bonus of the 1-1 consulting call for a full hour with me at no charge as the fast action bonus goes away tonight, Tuesday, at midnight PST, so don’t miss out.
PPS- here is what trainer and OCR athlete Ryan Baxter had to say:
Dr. Mike takes all the sexy topics you find tossed around by various "influencers" on the interwebs and on podcasts, breaks down the science and removes all the BS to show you exactly what the practical takeaways are.
As a coach, this leaves you free from having to decipher what is worthwhile and what is not, and gives you a set of actionable steps you can take with your clients that will help move them closer to their goals.” -Ryan Baxter, coach, OCR athlete, nerd

As you know, I live here in Minnesota that has been on the news for horrible reasons. I’ve grown up here and spent my entire 51 years here other than the 4.5 years I was at Michigan Tech Univ doing my post grad and graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. My undergrad was in Duluth at St Scholastica and my graduate and PhD work was at the University of MN. I love it here despite some days I piss and moan about the cold in the winter. ***Tomorrow will resume this newsletters fitness only...
Somewhere around 2:47 a.m., your nervous system throws a wild internal rave — all lights, noise, and false alarms — and drags you out of deep sleep to negotiate with the toilet. Again. This isn’t aging.This isn’t weak willpower.And it’s usually not a bladder problem. It’s a systems failure — fluid timing, kidney handling, nervous system tone, and sleep depth all colliding like drunk bats in a phone booth. The good news: most cases don’t need pills, patches, or a urologist with a prescription...
Huge thanks for those who are in Applied Growth 2026- awesome I am stoked to work with you! Today I’m joined by my good friend Dr. Eric Trexler, exercise scientist, educator, and Director of Education at Stronger by Science, for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation on what physiology actually looks like in the real world. We dig into beetroot juice, nitric oxide, and “pump” supplements, why the blood-flow story is usually oversold, and why neuromuscular function and calcium handling may matter...
