  • Fantastic Podcast

    Dr. Mike’s podcast is top notch! I have had the privilege to have done a fellowship with Dr Mike, trained in his garage gym, done the cold plunge in his freezer, and taken all of his courses. I love nerding out with all his knowledge and guests. You can find everything you need about nutrition, training and the latest science with this podcast. I recommend it to all my fellow nerds and people wanting to crush their goals! Keep killing it Dr. Mike!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Your Peptides Illegal? — Rick Collins — #396
Q: What is the biggest challenge with unapproved peptides right now?
The biggest challenge is balancing access with safety—there is a lot of demand and a lack of solid human data, which makes quality control, dosing, and proper oversight critical.
How elite bodybuilders think about problem-solving, business and nutrition with Coach Cliff Wilson
Q: How do you balance information from research with real-world practice?
I continuously audit my coaching process, compare research to what I observe in clients, and prioritize strategies that reliably move people toward their goals in their specific context rather than chasing the latest trend.
How elite bodybuilders think about problem-solving, business and nutrition with Coach Cliff Wilson
Q: What would you say are the big things to start with when coaching physique athletes beyond the basics?
Start by recognizing that a large portion of success hinges on impulse control and adherence, then tailor guidance to the individual's skill level, genetics, and life context rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.
From Powerlifter to Trail Runner — Paul Oneid & Cody Miller — #393
Q: What were the key physiological changes you saw?
A dramatic drop in resting heart rate over months, improvements in HRV in some cases, and significant changes in stroke volume and cardiac output driven by high training loads and varied modalities.
From Powerlifter to Trail Runner — Paul Oneid & Cody Miller — #393
Q: How did you start rebuilding endurance after the injury?
They began with small blocks—one minute of running, then walking—and used low-impact work to stimulate central demand while protecting the injured areas, gradually increasing duration.
