Flex Diet Podcast

I wanted to drop you a short note about my trip to Australia for a wedding, to hang out and I was also teaching Level 1 and Level 2 of Reflexive Performance Reset. Tune in to hear my thoughts about the trip along with a few fitness tips.

This episode was prerecorded from an airport right out of LAX as Jodie and I were about to hop on a long flight to Brisbane, Australia. The tip for today is the answer to: what do you do with a training session in the gym when you're operating with less sleep than you probably need? Enjoy!

In this interview, I chat with my man James Cerbie about how to get you stronger, more agile, mo' muscle, a bigger aerobic engine and much more... ... all without pain.

This week, we're talking about micronutrients that you may want to re-consider, not necessarily avoid, but to keep an eye on. There are micronutrients that could potentially be toxic. Now I know the word toxic gets thrown around a lot and it gets really messy fast - and that's what we'll review on today's show. Enjoy!
