In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. John Rusin to dig into his new book, Pain-Free Performance: Move Better, Train Smarter, and Build an Unbreakable Body. We talk all things movement, strength, longevity and how to actually perform at a high level without wrecking yourself in the process. John drops some serious wisdom from decades of training and coaching, and we get into the real science behind balancing load, recovery, and pain management so you can...

Greetings from nuking winds here in South Padre Island, TX, where your favorite nerd is going to test the theory of gravity today. Here is what went down this week: Newsletters: Sleep-Deprived Meathead Brain: When sleep, stress, and caffeine all fail, there’s one nerd-approved trick that can flip your brain back online in an hour, and no, it’s not more coffee. That MTHFR....: You don’t need a $599 gene test to “unlock your methylation.” You need creatine, sleep, and a reality check backed by...

Hola from S. Padre TX as it is your favorite kiteboarding and lifting nerd here, typing this with one eye twitching and the other half-open, because last night I slept like a caffeinated ferret in a leaf blower. You ever get that kind of brain fog?The kind where your neurons feel like they’re running on expired battery acid and your frontal cortex forgot how to human? But instead of biohacking nonsense or $600 “nootropic gene panels,” I reached for my old reliable: creatine monohydrate. Now,...

The MTHFR Gene Everyone’s Talking About… But What Does Actual Research Say? Hey friend — your favorite nerd here.Strap in, because we’re about to dismantle one of the most overhyped pieces of gene bro-science ever to slither out of TikTok and into your DMs. I got this question again today - so I wanted to address it here The $599 Gene Test That Promises “Optimization” You’ve probably seen a certain Human Biologist that rhymes with “Shrecka” — peddling “the test that unlocks your...

When life tosses you stress and your magic 8-ball is spitting in your face, one of the “secret” tactics I use — and one I hammer home with my M3 1-on-1 clients and consults — is high-dose creatine. Yeah, I said it. Not your bro-standard 5 g scoop tossed in post-workout like it’s pixie dust for your traps. I’m talking 10–20 grams of phosphagen fury straight into the metabolic chaos when sleep is wrecked and caffeine has stopped working. I tested this "trick" during a brutal travel stretch —...

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Dan Pardi for a deep dive into all things health, longevity, and cognitive performance. We get into the science of stem cells and aging, the real benefits (and limits) of popular supplements, and how nootropics like Ritalin and Modafinil actually work—or don’t—in the real world. We also talk about how to integrate training and movement into insanely busy lives, the psychology of health behavior, and why being...

Greetings from S Padre, TX, as your fav nerd is down here working and kiteboarding. Wahoo! Another beautiful windy day. Here is what went down this week: Newsletters: Peptide Hype or Real Physiology?: I break down the peptide hype — from BPC-157 to Epitalon — what actually works, what’s still rat-tested fantasy, and why the real anti-aging stack is still lifting heavy, sleeping hard, and training smart. Trick or Treat - My Research Gift To You: I’m dropping a free, no-strings-attached PDF on...

Happy Halloween you crazy meat sticks! Thank you so much for reading my rantings here, and tonight I have a treat for you as the votes are in... ...you voted in the newsletter yesterday to see the research I compiled on BPC-157 specifically. Therefore, without further nonsense, here you go as I break down the 3 most common questions I get on it. - Does it work?- What does the human data actually say?- Is it orally active or just broken down in the gut?The answers might surprise you.Most...

Listen up, you aging meat missile. If you’ve been anywhere near the fitness internet lately, you’ve seen the new religion: peptides.Little amino acid chains that promise to make you jacked, lean, and immortal — all for the low, low price of $200 a vial. But do these “anti-aging injections” actually do anything… or are we just paying biotech rent for expensive placebo juice? The Hype Injection You’ve probably seen the usual suspects: BPC-157 for healing your cranky knees. Epitalon to “reverse...
