PPS -Here is what Jocelyn Awe, Director of Sports Performance had to say:
" As the Director of Sports Performance at Whitman College, my athletes love to know the ‘why’ of any mechanism/modaility. Dr. Mike's PFC course kept me ahead of the trends and has given me the ability to make direct and practical decisions for each on of my athletes.
Whether you are wondering about the keto diet all the way to the hot trend of ice baths. Dr. Mike sets you up in the best position to make practical and real-world decisions on how to manage the body.
PFC is a game changer.
PFC is practical.
PFC was an easy decision for me!” - Jocelyn Awe, Director of Sports Performance at Whitman College

A few weeks back I accidentally took twice the recommended dose of a nootropic and had one of the best deep work sessions of my life. Not my proudest moment as a scientist, but a win as an accidental lab rat. The short version: Switch Supplements sent me a pre-production sample of their new formula, OnSwitch. Unlabeled bottle. No scoop. No directions. Just mysterious white powder and the implicit dare of "figure it out, sport." I looked at it, did what any reasonable PhD with a flight to...
