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

Anything beyond that is supposedly “wasted.” ...But if that were literally true, where does the other 70 grams go? Does it evaporate? Get stuffed into a biological storage closet? Why...
I got a great question from a 45-year-old lifter. He trains full body 5–7 days per week, keeps moving between exercises, and rarely sits around. RDLs. Bench. Leg extensions. Rear delts. Walk to the next station, recover, smash another set. His heart rate stays elevated for most of the 45-minute session, so he asked: does this count as cardio? Sort of. Cue the angry meathead noises.

Is it me or is every gym Bro popping Zyn nicotine pouches like they are going out of style?
