When to get fancy vs double down on the basics to get leaner
Happy Wed! It is a beautiful and hot day here in Minn-a-snow-da. Surprise, it does get quite warm here in the summer. I was sweating doing my cardio this AM already and then jumped into the freezer filled with 44 F water.
Which begs the question, when should you bother with other stressors -like cold and heat?
Cold water immersion is all the rage now, but are the IG influencers all picking up pennies and leaving dollars on the table?
As you know, I think both temperature stressors have their place. Heck, I created an entire certifications based on them - the Physiologic Flexibility Cert; however, the basics will never go out of style. I cover the basics (and some advanced work too) for nutrition and recovery in the Flex Diet Cert which opens again on June 5, 2023.
This brings us to the main topic of today where my buddies Jeb and Dean interview me about when to get fancy and when to just double down on crushing the boring basics.
We also ramble about my Ph.D. process, understanding stats and variability analysis in research, and condensing information for clients.
We then talk about the Physiologic Flexibility Certification I created, as well as some analysis of the calories in/calories out model to get leaner.
>> Listen to it here <<
We discuss:
- My education and background
- How I got into personal training and transitioned to online training only
- My unique Ph.D. process
- How I started my online business
- Fine-scale variability and the principles that govern physiology
- How I narrow down studies and choose the research I share with clients
- Creating easy-to-implement action items
- My thought process on building my business up
- Why I set up my certification the way I did
- Training the lizard brain
- Leverage points and setting clients up to win
- The benefits of becoming more physiologically flexible

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Happy Sunday from beautiful MN, where it has been nice and cool at night, making this my favorite time of the year. Enjoy your Sunday night and tune into the Enhanced Games if you're into sports performance live on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/live/aSy5L2DqDDw?si=9ZS-ZQFgB250TMRB. I gave my Enhanced Games predictions on IG earlier today:https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYu820APyb2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Always curious as to what you think, so hit me back. Here's what went down this...
Creatine got dragged into the fat-loss circus again. This time, the shiny object is a new Nature Communications paper on brown adipose tissue, thermogenesis, and something called the Futile Creatine Cycle (Bunk et al., 2025). Cool paper. Mechanistically spicy. Mouse-cage chaos with a tiny white lab coat and a flamethrower. Then the internet did what the internet does: it stuffed the finding into a cheap suit, handed it a microphone, and screamed: “Creatine is a fat burner!” Slow down,...
A few weeks back I accidentally took twice the recommended dose of a nootropic and had one of the best deep work sessions of my life. Not my proudest moment as a scientist, but a win as an accidental lab rat. The short version: Switch Supplements sent me a pre-production sample of their new formula, OnSwitch. Unlabeled bottle. No scoop. No directions. Just mysterious white powder and the implicit dare of "figure it out, sport." I looked at it, did what any reasonable PhD with a flight to...
