Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast. I’m Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and today I’m joined by my good friend and colleague, Dr. Mike Ormsbee. We’re digging deep into how to optimize metabolism using strategies from the Flex Diet Certification, as well as why both aerobic and resistance training are crucial for long-term success.

We also delve into some advanced topics, such as how growth hormone and lipolysis contribute to effective fat utilization, and how cutting-edge techniques like microdialysis enable us to study metabolism at a local level. Along the way, we hit on key concepts like fat metabolism, body composition changes, and even how evening eating affects the process.

We’ll share insights from some of the studies we’re working on now, and why combining resistance training with smart nutrition could be the game-changer you’re looking for. Hope you enjoy this deep dive into the science (and practice) of fitness and health!
