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

We're still deep in the chaos of South Padre Island, where the wind gods have been extra generous this past week. The wonderful wifey Jodie got out yesterday and absolutely crushed it — riding the board both directions like Poseidon's understudy. As for me? I was lit up like a solar flare and...

Heads up, savage — I’ve got something wild and unlisted for you today. It’s a no-holds-barred deep dive with yours truly, tearing the flesh off the misunderstood beast that is metabolic flexibility—the art and science of flipping between burning fat and carbs like a metabolic ninja on Red Bull and ketones. This isn’t just another dry physiology lecture. It’s a data-fueled joyride into the underworld of performance, recovery, mitochondria, and the ancient rituals of eating like you give a...

Hola from sunny and uber windy S Padre where today isn't your usual lecture on eccentric tempos or the divine mystery of mTOR. Nope. Today’s message is about a box. A literal box. And it might be one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever helped create. Not long ago, the nonprofit gang over at We Care hit me up and asked: “Hey, could you curate our April box on Exercise Prescription?” Didn’t hesitate. Said yes before they even finished the sentence. Why? Because these maniacs aren’t just...
