Maximizing Athletic Performance & Recovery

Happy Tues you savage! If you missed it, I opened a brand new program yesterday. Read all the details HERE and 4 of the 10 spots are already filled. More info coming on that, but today on the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jeremy Bettle, a performance director and applied sports scientist, to dig into what actually moves the needle for performance, recovery, and long-term resilience. We cover everything from high ankle sprains and injury prevention to smarter load management, and why understanding stress, recovery, and tissue capacity matters far more than chasing random training trends. Dr. Bettle shares insights from years of work across the NHL, NBA, and international sport, along with how elite performance systems can — and should — be translated to non-elite humans who want to train hard, recover better, and keep doing this for decades.

After 12 months, you won’t say things like: “I’m still figuring it out” “I just need more data” “I’m almost ready to decide” You’ll know—in your bones—which actions actually move the needle. Not hypothetically.Not in theory.In your life. Small hinges. Big doors.Same boring principle. Ruthlessly applied.Week after week until...
Welcome to 2026 where the amount of information "out there" is absolutely unhinged. Podcasts. Threads. Preprints. AI summaries of AI summaries.Everyone yelling. Everyone "optimizing"... ..yet very few actually moving forward? And with AI just getting warmed up? It’s about to get worse, not better. You might think you need more information to move forward.
