Episode 358: Navigating Body Composition, Weight Loss & Real-World Coaching with Aram Grigorian
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Aram Grigorian from the Real Coaches Summit to talk shop on what actually matters in coaching today. We dig into body composition and weight loss, why consistency still beats novelty, and how to think more clearly about calorie tracking without losing the forest for the trees.We also get into industry trends, client compliance, and why live, in-person events remain one of the most underrated tools for becoming a better coach. If you’re a trainer or just serious about improving your health and results, this is a practical, no-nonsense conversation you’ll get a lot out of. I also share a sneak peek at what’s coming up at the Real Coaches Summit.WARNING – you may be offended by some items that Aram or I say in this podcast.

Episode 359: Debunking Women’s Fitness Myths with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple to cut through the noise and tackle some of the most persistent myths in women’s fitness. We break down where misinformation shows up in popular programs, why overly complicated plans often backfire, and what the science actually says about fasted training and low energy availability. We also get into hot topics like cold water immersion and cortisol, real sex-based differences in training responses, and why women’s fitness research is still so challenging to conduct well. If you’re looking for practical, evidence-based guidance instead of hype, this episode will help you train smarter and with more confidence.Sponsors:LMNT: http://drinklmnt.com/mikenelson (automatically applied at checkout)Beyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Fitness Insider Newsletter: https://miketnelson.com/Episode Chapters:04:30 Interview with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple05:01 Complications in Women's Fitness07:39 Effective Training Strategies18:42 Fasted Training for Women23:33 Low Energy Availability28:50 Cold Water Immersion for Women34:27 The Overemphasis on Recovery36:45 Sex-Based Differences in Training37:04 The Fiber Type Debate43:41 Genetics and Athletic Performance46:23 Women's Specific Supplements53:50 Challenges in Women's Fitness Research01:00:51 Rapid Fire Questions and ConclusionEpisodes You Might Enjoy:Episode 267: Demystifying Women’s Fitness and Nutrition with Alli FahrenbachYouTube: https://youtu.be/w13NXowjSVU?si=QDdKNRGZZq_SgT5hEpisode 296: Enhancing Athletic Performance with Dr. Dani LaMartinaYouTube: https://youtu.be/ts_eqvs6OI4?si=TiqFPjcsxI9a3owFConnect with Dr Lauren Colenso-Semple:Website: https://www.drlaurencs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlaurencs1Get In Touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast! Today, I’m hanging out with the brilliant Katie Emerson, Senior Manager of Scientific Affairs over at Kyowa Hakko USA, aka the people behind Cognizin (CDP Choline), one of the few brain-boosting ingredients with legit research behind it.We dig into the real science of CDP Choline, how it supports memory, focus, and cognitive performance, and where it actually fits into the human physiology engine, not the hype machine. Katie and I also zoom out into the supplement industry as a whole, chatting about what’s worth paying attention to, what’s still emerging, and how to navigate all the shiny promises out there.We even take a nerd-tour into mental resilience, genetic mapping, and the surprising potential of glutathione for health and performance.If you’re curious how targeted supplements can help you think faster, recover better, and be a more high-performing human without needing a PhD to decode marketing nonsense, this episode is for you.Sponsors:Flex 4: Katie's top 4 things to know about citocholineEpisode Chapters:03:52 Katie Emerson Joins the Conversation04:09 Conversations at ISSN and Networking11:20 Research and Studies on CDP Choline17:49 Challenges in Supplement Formulation24:40 Mechanisms and Benefits of CDP Choline28:06 Exploring Genetic Mapping and Data Overload29:01 Study Design and Dosing Strategies30:29 The Sweet Spot of CDP Choline Dosage33:40 Pharmacokinetics and Timing of CDP Choline35:36 Safety and Side Effects of High Doses38:59 Comparing CDP Choline and Alpha GPC42:41 Introduction to Glutathione48:41 Oral Absorption of Glutathione52:12 Podcast Conclusion and Listener Information Episodes You Might Enjoy:Episode 343: Fueling the Corporate Athlete: Stress, Supplements & Performance with Dan Hunter YouTube: https://youtu.be/0ek4XSs62RQ Episode 222: Expert Insights on nutrition, supplements, and training with Registered Dietitian Sean CaseyYouTube: https://youtu.be/wjJB-y1kwgMConnect with Katie:Cognizin: cognizin.comGet In Touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/
