See you at 3pm CST today?


Quick heads up.

I go live at 3pm CST today Wed March 4 at the Future of Coaching Virtual Summit and you can still jump in and watch it for free.

My talk is called:

“Data-Driven or Delusional: An Evidence and Experience-Based Guide to Wearable Technology.”

Because right now a lot of coaches are staring at dashboards like they’re sacred scripture.

HRV drops 6 points and suddenly the entire training program gets rewritten.

Relax.

Here’s what I’m breaking down in the session:

• What wearable metrics can actually tell you
• Why heart rate is fairly accurate but calorie burn is often fantasy
• The biggest HRV mistakes coaches make
• Why random HRV measurements are mostly useless
• When overnight HRV tracking works well
• Why trends matter more than single numbers
• Why respiratory rate may be a powerful early stress signal
• When HRV is useful vs misleading
• Why context beats precision every time
• The danger of over-interpreting noisy data
• Why wearables should be decision-support tools, not dictators
• How to combine wearable data with actual coaching judgment

If you use wearables with clients, this talk will save you a lot of headaches.

You can still grab a seat here:

See you at 3pm CST today Wed March 4.

Much love,
Dr Mike

What up you savage? I wanted to take a slight round-a-bout from our technical breakdown to answer a bunch of questions that came in about the Phys Flex Cert… ..and to remind you that the Fast Action Bonus of your 1 hour private call (a legit $250 value) with your truly nerdy here closes tonight, Wed April 22 at midnight PST. Story time as just today a coach named Chris emailed me some solid questions. Then another coach emailed me. Then another one. By the third round, I realized I was...

The fitness internet has the attention span of a caffeinated squirrel with a crypto account full of DOGE coin. A study drops with a huge number and some IG GooRoo between ab shotz and posing in front of his rented fancy car rips that number out of context, sprays it across social media like cheap cologne in a strip mall bathroom, and suddenly every shirtless man with a ring light is telling you the sauna is basically anabolic sorcery. Then the supplement companies arrive followed fast by the...

Aaaah, my buddy Joe Rogan. I will get hate for this but overall I love Joe and his show most of the time… …however, the practice of going ballZ deep at 33F in the ice bath as a recommendation to start is bonkers. This has also spun off a whole slew of “Cold Water BroZ” via the cult of Joe with their own epic posting about their love of cold water immersion after lifting ‘cuz "recovery, bro." Can doing cold water immersion (CWI) immediately after lifting stall your gainZ? Here's what's...
