Greetings from this scorching hump day in the sweltering depths of Minna-Snow-Da!

It's a brutal, mind-melting heatwave, contrary to what the uninitiated might believe about this typically frozen land – which is only in Winter from September until April......I keeed. I keeeed.

Don't let that stop you from embracing the inferno, for I, your pale-ass sun starved Scandinavian background narrating nerd, am venturing into the searing sunlight.

On the agenda today is cardiac development via a devilish contraption known as the Concept 2 rower - a machine surely concocted by Beelzebub himself to test the limits of human endurance and grant us both cardiac development and the sacred vitamin D when done outside.

In the hallowed virtual online halls of the Physiologic Flexibly Cert, I discuss the righteous wisdom of exposing your mortal frames to various environmental temperatures. From the scorching heat to the bone-chilling cold via a dunk in my modified freezer for cold water immersion, such experiences expand your physiologic headroom, thus making you more resilient and harder to kill.

But heed my words, fellow seekers of physiologic flexibility prowess, take this journey gradually, for Rome wasn't built in a day. No need to Goggins-dat-$hit on day 1 my temperature trepid friend.

While in the blistering heat testing your grit and resilience, remember the dire importance of hydrating adequately and replenishing those precious electrolytes.

Yes, to function optimally, you require both fluids and those electrically charged magnificent minerals.

I have observed that adhering to this sage advice yields remarkable results - both in the throes of acute performance and in the sweet embrace of recovery, as evidenced by a superior HRV score from myself and my 1-1 online M3 clients.

My personal favorite elixir of electrolytes, is none other than LMNT. Peerless in its blend, it boasts an abundance of sodium - the very ion our sweat-soaked bodies crave.

Plus it tantalizes the taste buds like no other concoction. The alchemical wizards behind LMNT have conjured something extraordinary, sans any dubious ingredients, leaving you with an astonishingly delicious effective potion.

If you haven't sampled the grapefruit flavor, I implore you to seek it out; it shall not disappoint. And if it is not your fav, just send it back and they will give you a full refund too.

Alas, a word of caution. I've received tidings from LMNT themselves that their stock of this nectar of the gods grapefruit flavor is dwindling, a limited summer run soon to vanish like a desert mirage.

LMNT sans the allure of sales and discounts, but they do offer respite for the parched soul - purchase three boxes, and be gifted a fourth to quench your insatiable thirst.

Yes, yours-nerdy here is an affiliate for LMNT and if you purchase through my link, I do make a few clams.

There you have it, my fellow heat-dwellers, embrace the power of electrolytes in the scorching inferno.

This is Dr. Mike, signing off with a sweaty brow and a heart gratefully full of electrolytic wisdom.

Stay hydrated, stay informed, and fear not the fury of the sun…for a few minutes at least.

Much love,

Dr Mike

PS – yes, LMNT is running very low on the grapefruit flavor, so don’t wait. I got a few emails from disappointed below last year when this seasonal flavor ran out.
