Weekly Wrap Up May 28, 2023
What a crazy busy week here now that we are back home and getting in the groove big time.
Here is what went down this week.
Newsletters:
- Is exercise only enough?: Exercise is a great start, but in my biased yet accurate opinion, no, it is not enough.

- Grapefruit LMNT is back now: Yes, the rumors are true - grapefruit LMNT is back, but only for a limited time.
- HRV: I was recently on Barbell Shrugged to chat about HRV, sleep, and using the Oura ring. Check it out.
- See you at NEC?: I'm sending up a heads up that I'll present at the Northeast Coaches Summit this Fall.
Podcast:
- Flex Diet Podcast Episode 206: Advanced recovery tactics and more: An interview with elite athlete coach Justin Kavanaugh
Calendar:
- ISSN Meeting June 15-17. I'll be doing a talk titled “Primer on Psychedelics as a "New" Therapy - Are Psychedelic Supplements Next?”
Gym Tune of the Week: Gym Tune: In Flames “Meet Your Maker”
The first time I saw In Flames was 1997 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest - which is going on this weekend again actually. They had just released “The Jester’s Race” the year before and it was my first time seeing them live.
Wow - they were amazing! I was right up front on the left hand of the stage next to my buddy “The Rev” (aka Rev David J Ciancio). Fast forward over a decade and half later and In Flames are still putting out crushing new tunes like this one. Horns up!
Rock on,
Dr Mike

This is it, Brosefus, Enrollment of the FDC closes at midnight PST tonight. No extensions. No "surprise, we kept it open." No fake urgency. No “oh, our website crashed from all of the traffic so it is open for 7 more days” BS. When it closes, it closes. The next enrollment window is months away. If you've been on the fence all week, here's what it comes down to: Do you want a system, or do you want to keep guessing? Because at some point, guessing stops being sustainable. Your clients get...
As a heads up, enrollment closes tonight, Monday, at midnight PST. After that, it will be months before the next enrollment window opens.
