Soaring 26 Feet, Boosting Focus & Fueling Performance
|
In this high-energy episode of What Are You Made Of?, I joined Mike “C-Roc” to talk about human performance, physiology, and (surprise) kiteboarding. We kicked things off from South Padre, where I’ve been chasing wind, waves, and a personal best of 30 feet in the air. Kiteboarding has become a big part of how I challenge myself physically and mentally, and we got into the science behind it—how it works, how the gear has evolved, and why it’s so much more than just an adrenaline rush. Of course, we didn’t stop there. We dug into how I optimize for focus and performance: caffeine, high-quality protein, and yes, even occasional nicotine pouches to dial in deep work like writing and research. I opened up about my own journey — from a skinny college kid who people thought needed to eat more, to building a career around metabolic flexibility, VO₂ max, and helping others unlock their full potential. If you're into performance, physiology, or just curious how kiteboarding and neuroscience collide, you’ll want to give this one a listen.

Ninety.Six.Days. That’s how long this meathead—yours truly—has been doing cardio.Not by accident. Not occasionally. Not when the weather was nice.Every darn day. In a row. Like some lunatic on a mission to find his VO2 max soul. The streak started on Feb 8, mid-sunburn in Mexico.Three weeks of tacos, tequila, and Zone 2 sweat.Even with spicy food, trying to evacuate my colon like it owed someone money… Cardio. Got. Done. Then we were yeeted back to the frosty armpit of Minnesota. Did I fold?...
This is the single greatest increase in VO2 max I have ever seen published in a trained population. Ever. I have been obsessed with cardiovascular training research since I first cracked open an anatomy textbook in 1993, when cell phones were bricks and creatine was the new magic powder. Since then, I have: ✅ Performed hundreds of exercise tests in labs and at the Extreme Human Performance Center using metabolic carts. ✅ Worked 12 years for a cardiovascular med tech company, buried in data...
The Question: Is there any difference in training men vs women, and will that be covered in the course? At first, my gut reaction was “nah, not really”—but then, because I refuse to let a stone go unturned, I started digging. And wouldn’t you know it, a new study dropped in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise that might flip this whole thing on its head (1). So buckle up, grab some coffee (or ketones, if you're feeling fancy), and let's get weird as we go hard down the nerd chute. The...
