Stop guessing with nutrition


Quick warning before the inbox fills up with nonsense, hot takes, and whatever diet trend just crawled out of the algorithm sewer.

The Flex Diet Certification is officially open.

And no — this is not another macro calculator wearing a trench coat.
Not a carb-demonization cult.
Not a “just eat less / suffer harder” sermon disguised as science.

This is a system.

A real one.

One that ranks nutrition interventions by actual coaching leverage
- not by what’s loud on Instagram
- not by what worked for one genetically blessed lizard-person in 2012...

..and definitely not by whatever gives the best before-and-after photo.

Here’s the dirty secret most coaches won’t admit after 3 squirrel piss light beers because you know...carbZ.

You don’t fail because you don’t know enough.

You fail because everything feels important at the same time.

Protein feels urgent.
CarbZ are back - sugar diet yo!
Fat feels confusing.
Sleep feels impossible.
Fasting feels virtuous.
Supplements feel seductive.
Peptides are the next thing Bro

So you guess.
Or you freeze.
Or you throw five interventions at once and pray.

And nobody ever taught you the most important skill in nutrition coaching:

What to do first.

That’s what metabolic flexibility actually gives you.

Not rules.
Not dogma.
Not another spreadsheet.

Clarity under pressure.

A ranked system that tells you where to aim right now...
....and what can safely shut the hell up until later.

If you want the full breakdown (and you probably do), it’s here:

More tomorrow. This is just the opening shot.

Much love,
Dr. Mike

PS: Important, because this disappears fast —
If you enroll within the first 48 hours, you get a free 1-hour private call with me.

Normally $250.
You pay $0.

Just you, me, and whatever nutrition, physiology, HRV, or client dumpster fire you want to dissect.

That call vanishes in 48 hours.
The course stays.
The bonus does not.

I generally hate bonuses. Not in the abstract.In practice. Because most of them are duct tape slapped over a shaky offer, wrapped in fake urgency, and sold like you’re about to miss the last helicopter out of Saigon. That’s not what’s happening here.
