Train it, feed it, fix it: Your metabolism decoded.

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast. I’m Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and today I’m joined by my good friend and colleague, Dr. Mike Ormsbee. We’re digging deep into how to optimize metabolism using strategies from the Flex Diet Certification, as well as why both aerobic and resistance training are crucial for long-term success. We also delve into some advanced topics, such as how growth hormone and lipolysis contribute to effective fat utilization, and how cutting-edge techniques like microdialysis enable us to study metabolism at a local level. Along the way, we hit on key concepts like fat metabolism, body composition changes, and even how evening eating affects the process. We’ll share insights from some of the studies we’re working on now, and why combining resistance training with smart nutrition could be the game-changer you’re looking for. Hope you enjoy this deep dive into the science (and practice) of fitness and health! Your metabolism decoded << details here Episode Chapters:

Straight out of the lab-coated minds of my friends over at Alma Nutrition—a new app that tracks your food, logs your intake, and somehow doesn’t make you feel like you’ve been sentenced to a lifetime of data entry in macro jail. I know what you’re thinking: “Oh great, another darn nutrition app… kill me now.” ...but wait—before you roll your eyes so...
Hola from Weatherford, Texas — where the winds of grit and steel blow strong and the grip strength flows like bourbon at a biker wedding. The wonderful wifey and I are posted up here with the legendary Adam and Ashley Glass. Yesterday? Oh, just a casual afternoon arm-wrestling with beasts and working on my grip journey to dominate the 175 lb Inch dumbbell. Here’s the dirty secret I was reminded of: once you’ve nailed the basics — the big meathead movements, the glaringly obvious nutrition...
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Straker for a deep dive into his journey from natural bodybuilding to the enhanced side of the sport.

We also get into the mental and physical shifts that come with that transition, and how Aaron approaches training, nutrition, and recovery with intention. He shares his thoughts...
