    Episode 356: How Keto Affects Performance with Dr. Andrew Koutnik
    2025/12/02

    On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy and lab-coat-wearing performance wizard, Dr. Andrew Koutnik. We talk about how to boost muscle performance, improve body composition, and feel like an athletic human without dumpster-firing your health.

    We dig into cold water immersion (and when it can kick gains in the shins), blood glucose regulation, ketogenic diets, carbs (yes, they’re still awesome), and how to build metabolic flexibility that actually translates to better outcomes in the gym and life.

    Andrew shares some killer insights from his research at Florida State University, especially around keto diets and athletic performance. If you’re curious about whether low-carb can help or hurt your performance, this is your jam.

    If you want practical tools for a bigger physiological engine, tune in!

    2025/11/25
    In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Tommy Wood to dig into his upcoming book, The Stimulated Mind — a ridiculously practical guide to building a better brain.We get into all kinds of fun rabbit holes: how technology is changing fitness, why lactate (yes, the same stuff you curse during hard intervals) is actually rocket fuel for your brain, and why a solid dose of cardio is one of the most underrated cognitive enhancers out there.We also tackle resistance training, neuroplasticity as you age, and which sports and drills actually move the needle for cognition. And because it’s Tommy, we even wander into the spicy territory of psychedelics and whether they may have a place in brain health.If you want real, actionable strategies to boost memory, focus, and long-term cognitive performance—without drowning in jargon—this episode is for you.Tune in and geek out with us.Sponsors:LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/Flex 4: Dr Tommy Wood's top 4 ways to improve your brain Preorder The Stimulated Mind: https://www.amazon.com/Stimulated-Mind-Future-Proof-Brain-Dementia/dp/0593797817/ref=sr_1_1Triphasic 2 book now available!Go to https://triphasic2.com/Episode Chapters:02:01 Dr. Tommy Wood's Background and Expertise03:15 The Stimulated Mind: Translating Neuroscience into Practical Tips04:01 Sponsors and Special Offers05:09 Interview with Dr. Tommy Wood Begins06:58 The Benefits of High-Intensity Exercise10:37 Lactate and BDNF: Brain Fertilizer17:16 The Potential of Lactate Supplements20:49 The Challenges of Translating Preclinical Science to Humans26:54 The Importance of the Hippocampus and Executive Function29:53 The Benefits of Resistance Training for Cognitive Health32:09 The Cognitive Benefits of Coordinative Training34:30 The Importance of Recreation and Social Interaction37:34 The Humbling Nature of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu38:12 The Stimulated Mind: Brain Function and Exercise40:06 Neuroplasticity and Aging40:50 Embracing Discomfort for Brain Growth42:47 The Role of Dopamine in Learning45:14 Flow vs. Clutch States in Performance48:41 The Goat Drill: A Complex Motor Skill Exercise53:13 Expanding Cognitive Headroom58:00 Psychedelics and Brain Health01:03:26 Wrapping Up: Book Promotion and Final ThoughtsFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy: Episode 307: The Lost Episode on Body Composition Research with Dr. Tommy Wood and Dr. Ben HouseYouTube: https://youtu.be/ytbNiJ25kiQ Episode 178: Rebroadcast – Insulin and Glucose Myths & more with Dr Tommy WoodYouTube: https://youtu.be/N7LchLtBJr4Connect with Dr. Tommy Wood: Substack: https://substack.com/@betterbrainfitnessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtommywoodWebsite: https://www.drtommywood.com/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/

  • Episode 354: How Shiftwave Reboots Your Nervous System w/ Dr. Jeff Rouse

    Episode 354: How Shiftwave Reboots Your Nervous System w/ Dr. Jeff Rouse
    2025/11/17

    In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jeff Rouse from Shiftwave to talk about his mind-bending device that claims to reset your nervous system.

    I’ll be honest, when I first saw it, I was skeptical. But after trying it at the Parker University conference, I was blown away by what it did. We dig into how the tech works, why it’s so effective for both physical and mental health, and how it’s being used everywhere from mental health therapy to pro sports.

    Dr. Rouse brings a fascinating mix of psychiatry, quantum biology, and wellness tech expertise to the conversation. He explains the science behind Shift Wave, the principles that make it tick, and some of its wildest protocols, like “synthetic sleep.”

    If you’re into cutting-edge tools that help you recover faster, feel better, and perform at your best, this one’s worth the listen.
