We dig into practical dosing (including higher-dose ideas for bone and brain), why timing probably doesn’t matter much, and what the data shows on safety, side effects, and common myths like hair loss....
Hola from hot S Padre Island, The wind is finally coming back up, which means my funky chicken wind dance must have finally worked. Picture a large pale exercise physiologist on the beach, flapping around like a caffeinated sandhill crane who just discovered pre-workout. You’re welcome, Texas. hahaha. First off, huge thanks to everyone who enrolled in the Phys Flex Cert. Super stoked for you — especially the few of you who snuck in at the buzzer before the doors slammed shut at midnight like...
