Trauma
Mention “trauma,” and most view it as a negative.
While it certainly can be negative, does it always have to be?
Like “stress,” is there a way to rethink trauma?
This topic is one of the many questions posted in the new documentary “Dark Night of Our Soul,” which explores the evolutionary purpose of trauma & the possibilities of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG).
As I talked about last week, your nerdy was one of the experts in the film.
Now you can see the same 30-minute clip from the full feature. I saw it for the first time last Thursday, and it was terrific.

This is a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds to finish the entire film.
If you are in a position to help out, that would be amazing!
If you are not right now, all good. If you could share it online and tag me, that would be epic.
I am so stoked for this entire film to finish in the best manner. I genuinely believe it can potentially change many lives for the better – which is why you are reading this newsletter.
To be better – physically and mentally.
Thank you for your consideration!
Much love,
Dr. Mike
PS – Full disclosure: I did not take a dime for my part in this film as I opted to have my payment sent to the team making the movie instead. I did have expenses covered to do the interview in Costa Rica.
I know how much work the team of Jeff, Jess, Rick, and Luke have put into this, not to mention funding it up to this point. It has been a massive focal point of their lives for the past 3 years. Thank you for your help on this project!

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my friend James de Lacey, a strength and conditioning coach with an MSc in Sport & Exercise Science and more than a decade of experience in professional sport, including professional and international rugby and rugby league. James now focuses on combat sports, preparing fighters through Sweet Science of Fighting. Do fighters really need zone 2? James and I dig into why the "big aerobic base first" playbook may not be the answer for...
Hola from Black Rifle Coffee in Oklahoma! I'm currently refueling my caffeine addiction as I continue the annual Fall migration south to South Padre Island. Today's destination? Weatherford, Texas, to hang out with my buddy and coach Adam Glass. If you're not familiar with Adam, he's an absolute freak when it comes to grip strength and lifting ridiculously heavy objects. Which is precisely why I'm going to see him… ..because one of my lifting goals involves finding increasingly heavy objects...
Hola from somewhere in the vast, corn-infested wilderness of Kansas! I'm currently 8 hours and 2 energy drinks deep into my annual Fall migration to South Padre Island, Texas. My butt has officially filed a formal complaint with management. I pulled off the interstate to give my backside a temporary pardon, check on client emails, and tell you about something that I think is pretty damn cool. Technology No, not AI taking over the world and turning your toaster into a sentient killing...
