Hola, my fellow freaks and fitness fanatics—your favorite mad scientist, up and at ‘em with a heart rate that’s borderline criminal, fueled by a jug of coffee that would make any sane person’s ticker explode. That’s right, I crawled out of the chaos of the final Sepultura concert, where I was baptized in the primal fury of Agnostic Front and Obituary. A spiritual experience, no doubt, and yeah, my body’s feeling like it got hit by a freight train today. Yesterday, I rambled on about the 4 pillars of the Physiologic Flexibility model. And you might’ve thought that was the peak of nerd glory, but buckle up, because today we’re diving headfirst into a black hole of bodily insight that’ll make your brain spin. The subject? Genetics and bloodwork—the nitty-gritty, under-the-hood type stuff that separates the mortal men from the true metabolic demigods. For the past four-plus years, I’ve been running bloodwork on my private M3 1-1 clients. Now, I’m not here to play doctor—get your actual MD involved if something’s really off, I’m not bailing you out of that mess as it is waaaaaay out of my scope.. That’s where the heavyweights come in—enter Dan Garner and Dr. Andy Galpin. >> Bloodwork and Genetic Testing << full details As you know I work with those two at Rapid Health Optimization. I’ve known Andy for a decade. Hell, I even crashed at his place once while his dog—Ghost Faced Killer—savagely devoured my expensive PRI shoes because I left them out like an idiot. Recently, I got to hang with Andy and Dan in Dallas, where they held one of their insane seminars. And yeah, full transparency—I get a few shekels if you snag it through my link. But listen, I’ve been sending people to these guys (hey Frans, Erik, I see you) long before I got any affiliate cash, because I only back the real deal. So what are you waiting for? Check it out below: Any questions? Hit me up. Much love, madness, and bloodwork, Dr. Mike _____________ Mike T Nelson CISSN, CSCS, MSME, PhD |

Let me tell you something, amigo, health and performance aren’t just about how many carbZ you can shove down your gullet or how long you can grind on the treadmill before your legs turn to jelly. Oh no, my friend, it’s about survival in a world hell-bent on pushing you to the brink. ...And that’s where physiologic flexibility steps in—the next frontier, the secret sauce, the wild, untamed beast that will take your body’s adaptability to a level most people can’t even fathom. This isn’t just...
