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

Hunger was like a feral cat at night if it was smoking with Snoop Dog. Everyone had that same haunted look, like they were doing everything...

Cold plunges have gone from “old-school recovery tool” to full-blown biohacker religion. Some people swear by them.Some people swear they’re killing your gains. And almost nobody is asking the only question that matters: What does the physiology actually say? In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Cass Fuchs from Maastricht University to break down the real science behind cold water immersion and what it does to: Muscle protein synthesis Recovery and performance...

It's Sunday, and I'm still feeling shattered from the events in Minnesota recently. I alternate between periods of profound sadness, anger, helplessness, and then back to hope, and then the cycle starts all over again.
