I could have built the Flex Diet Cert in a vacuum.

Just me, my research, my experience, tons of coffee, and my opinions packaged into 8 interventions...

...But here's the problem with that approach:

No matter how much I know about metabolic flexibility, I'm not the world's leading expert on protein metabolism.

I'm not the top researcher on sleep and circadian biology.

I'm not the guy who literally discovered the molecular mechanisms of muscle growth.

So I didn't pretend to be.

Instead, I brought in the people who are, by all definitions, true experts.

Each module in the Flex Diet Cert includes an "Ask the Expert" interview with the leading researcher in that area.

Not IG influencers.

Not internet GooRoos.

Actual scientists doing the work that ends up in the textbooks.

Here's who you get access to:

→ Dr. Stu Phillips - The protein guy. Literally wrote the book on muscle protein synthesis. When you have a question about protein timing, leucine thresholds, or whether your vegan client can build muscle, Stu's interview has the answer.

→ Dr. Jose Antonio - Decades of research on sports nutrition, body composition, and whether you can actually eat "too much" protein (spoiler: it's harder than you think).

→ Dr. Keith Baar - Connective tissue and adaptation. The molecular mechanisms of how training stress turns into actual physiological change.

→ Dr. Dan Pardi - Sleep and circadian biology. Why your client's nutrition plan fails when they're sleeping 5 hours a night, and what actually moves the needle.

→ Dr. Eric Helms - Evidence-based muscle building and fat loss. Bridges the gap between lab research and what actually works in the real world with real humans.

→ Dr. Stephen Guyenet - Food reward, satiety, and why people overeat. The neuroscience of why "just eat less" is useless advice.

→ Dr. Hunter Waldman - Ketogenic diets and metabolic adaptation. When low-carb actually works and when it's just making things harder.

→ Dr. Mike Ormsbee - Exercise metabolism and nutrient timing. What actually matters around workouts and what's just internet mythology.

→ Dr. Peter Fitschen - Natural bodybuilding and contest prep. Getting extremely lean without destroying your metabolism or your sanity.

→ Jeff Chilton - Mushrooms and immune function. Real talk about what actually works in the supplement world vs. what's marketing.

→ Dr. Mike Molloy - Elite CrossFit nutrition. The guy coaching Games athletes and dealing with training volumes most people can't imagine. (Just added this interview to the cert - covers everything from 600g+ carb days to managing recovery under insane training loads.)

That's not a course.

That's a graduate-level faculty.

Deep dives into their specific area of expertise, directly tied to the action steps in each module.

The kind of conversations where I ask: "Okay, but what do I actually DO with this information when I'm sitting across from a stressed-out client who just wants to lose 20 pounds?"

Because here's the thing:

I don't need you to become a researcher.

I need you to be able to coach confidently, knowing that when you make a decision, it's backed by the people who literally discovered how this stuff works.

That's what these interviews give you.

The Flex Diet Cert closes at midnight PST on Monday.

Much love and met flex,
Dr Mike

PS: You get all of them, plus the entire certification system, and full email access to me to ask any questions. Heck, you get one client to pay you $250 for only 4 months, and you have already broken even on your investment.

PPS- here is what Lydia from the UK had to say

“Best certification I’ve ever taken for accessible and practical use and understanding!
​
Plus every topic is engaging and mega interesting!
​
Designed to make your work with clients smooth and successful from the very first module! Love it!” -Lydia
