Hey there, Dr. Mike T Nelson here. In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I’m excited to announce that the Flex Diet Certification is officially open! I’m recording this one from Europe, and I’ll walk you through what the cert is all about.

The Flex Diet Cert is my comprehensive program that dives deep into the worlds of nutrition and recovery, all built around the concepts of metabolic flexibility and flexible dieting. But we don’t just stop at macros and science—we also dig into habit-based techniques and the psychology behind behavior change, so you can help clients actually follow through and see real results.

In this episode, I also geek out a bit on the role of protein in muscle growth, including a breakdown of muscle protein synthesis and how it ties into exercise. If you’ve ever wondered how to optimize training and recovery to build more lean muscle, you’ll want to tune in.

You’ll also hear about the eight key interventions I cover in the cert, plus highlights from expert interviews and some simple, actionable steps you can use with your clients right now to improve performance, body composition, and overall health.

Check it out, and if you’re ready to level up your coaching, the Flex Diet Cert is open now for a limited time. Let’s go!
