Episode 277: Listener Questions with Dr Mike T Nelson

Join me, Dr Mike T Nelson, on the Flex Diet Podcast for an engaging "Ask Me Anything" session where I address a wide range of listener questions accumulated over recent months. Listen in as I recount my visits to Dr. Jeremy Schmoe, a functional neurologist, to address my unique visual processing challenge.  I share insights on intermittent fasting and sauna safety. Drawing inspiration from Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat method, I discuss my preferred fasting approach for body composition and stress the importance of gradual adaptation. This episode also provides updates on my summer projects, including my collaboration with Coach Cal Dietz on the Triphasic II book and my upcoming book on metabolic flexibility with co-author Gianna. For those interested in training and nutrition, particularly for perimenopausal women, I explore how individualized plans can address common challenges such as higher stress levels and lower aerobic capacity. The discussion also covers the benefits of exogenous ketones in managing hunger and energy levels. Lastly, I share my thoughts on using AI for writing and content creation, while addressing common gym pet peeves.  Sponsors: Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20% Dr. Mike's Fitness Insider Newsletter: Sign up for free at https://miketnelson.com/.
