Wow, new stuff from KSE gives me metal goosebumps. I’ve been a huge fan of these guys all the way back to their first album in 2000. Their live shows are always amazing.

The last time I saw them, Adam D came out and said, “Wow, Minneapolis, this is an amazing new venue and we are here to take a huge sonic shit on it” Hahaha. Amazing dudes, to boot.

Stoked for the entire album and amazing tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul. It kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine.

Love,
Dr Mike

Since then, over 75% of the initial batch is already pre-ordered. Tomorrow the...

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Ari Whitten to talk all about red light therapy (photobiomodulation) and why it’s become so popular lately. We dig into how red and near-infrared light fits into an evolutionary sunlight context, why those wavelengths penetrate tissue differently, and how they can influence mitochondria, recovery, and performance. Ari also breaks down the confusing part most people miss: device choice and dosing aren’t one-size-fits-all,...

Back in SPI today — wind is up, so it's time for another "Send It Sundays." Little tired, but stoked after giving my talk at the Sports Pharmacy Summit down in Fort Lauderdale. Huge shoutout to Sean Casey and the whole crew for putting on an epic event — y'all crushed it. Had a blast nerding out on HRV and Met Flex, and it was great connecting with so many of you there.
