What this episode covers

On today's Flex Diet Podcast episode, Michael Easter and I dive into an interesting discussion that spans a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from fasting and the role of temperature in training to embracing challenges and pushing our boundaries. You may recognize Michael from his first book, Comfort Crisis. He has another book coming out soon called Scarcity Brain. This podcast is brought to you by the Physiologic Flexibility Certification course. In the course, which opens again on September 18, 2023, I talk about the body’s homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more.
