As you saw, the Flex Diet Cert slammed shut t this past Monday night and huge congrats to all of you who are enrolled this round.

Wahoo!

..but if the price was too high or the wrong time, no worries as you did not get banished to the metabolic wasteland forever.

Another round comes back slated for Jan or Feb 2027, and I’ll make enough noise that your neighbor’s dog will know about it.

However, if you want to learn all about met flex on the cheap, you are in luck as sat down with Dr. Jeremy Bettle on The Vitality Collective Podcast recently to chat

​Metabolic Flexibility: Why Health Is the Ability to Adapt​

And yes, that title matters.

Because the whole high-carb-versus-keto slap fight is the wrong cage match.

Your body was not built to pick a permanent dietary gang color and defend it on the white house lawn.

The real goal?

Teach your metabolism to burn fat and carbs well.

At the right time.

For the right job.

Under the right demand.

Its the same way my kite when kitedboarding forces me to read the wind instead of locking into one dumb move and getting launched into the next zip code.

In the episode, we tear into:

Why your energy falls off a cliff at 3 p.m.

How body comp can stall even when you’re grinding like a caffeinated mule.

Why “eat less and suffer harder” is often a garbage coaching model wearing a spreadsheet costume.

And three things you can do tomorrow morning that do not require buying powders, potions, trackers, bracelets, blue-light helmets, or anything sold by the shirtless Costa Rican grocery getter.

Questions?

Hit reply.

I read them.

The good ones tend to become future newsletters, podcast rants, or occasionally an entire course because apparently I have problems and can't stop reading more research.

Much love and metabolic chaos,

Dr. Mike
