Hola from the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport. I'm a bit tired but feeling good as I head back home. The seminar with Dr Andy Galpin and Dan Garner was amazing!

I also had a blast meeting old and new friends with Rapid Health. I can say that Dan Garner is real now, too -haha.

Here is what went down this week

Gym Tune of the Week: Gojira "L'Enfant Savage”

I had to add them this week since they made history as the first metal band to play in the Olympics open ceremony, and they crushed it! I saw them live many years ago and loved the show, but I honestly didn't get super into them.

Fast-forward a few years, and after my second ayahuasca ceremony in Costa Rica, I made a note in my journal that said, "Listen to Gojira," which I found kind of odd. I went back and started listening to them again and LOVED them.

I was able to see them live with Mastodon and Lorna Shore outside in August last year for my birthday, and their live show was amazing. Check out this earlier track for your next gym session.

Much love,
Dr Mike
