We’re welcoming Mike T. Nelson back to the show to share about metabolic flexibility and a concept he calls “physiological flexibility.” We’re all subjected to varying degrees and kinds of stress, so it’s crucial to learn how to get your body to be as adaptive as possible to the stress you subject it to. We discuss how to create your most effective performance regime and how we should be eating to both maximize performance and body composition.

Mike does such a great job of condensing valuable information and packaging it into actionable steps both in this interview and in his courses. I am a paying and satisfied customer of Mike’s work, so be sure to check out this interview and his courses.
