Can you really build more muscle just by rethinking how you dose leucine and essential amino acids? Dr. Daniel A. Traylor, Ph.D. — co-founder and principal scientist of LEUVATE™ — reveals the science behind protein quality, muscle protein synthesis, and why older adults may need twice the protein dose to get the same results as younger people.
We dig into mTORC1 signaling, sarcopenia, the 30g protein absorption myth, GLP-1 drug effects on muscle, and the clinical trial data behind LEUVATE™. If you care about muscle, longevity, or protein strategy, this one is loaded.
<h3>Guest Bio</h3>
Daniel A. Traylor, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Health Sciences at DePaul University in Chicago and Owner, Co-Founder, and Principal Scientist of LEUVATE™. His research explores how protein quality, amino acids, and exercise interact to influence muscle adaptation, recovery, and physical function across the lifespan. He is the co-inventor of LEUVATE™ — a precision-engineered leucine-enriched nutritional formula validated across multiple peer-reviewed human clinical trials.

How to Harness Leucine and EAA for Bigger Muscles and More — Daniel A. Traylor, Ph.D. — #392

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike T. Nelson introduces the concept of coaching leverage—the idea that effective coaching means multiplying physiological impact by a client's realistic ability to change.
<ul>
 <li>Why sleep is a physiological powerhouse but a coaching nightmare</li>
 <li>The coaching leverage formula: physiology × psychology</li>
 <li>Why protein ranks #1 (score: 81) and sleep ranks #8 (score: 20)</li>
 <li>How to stop majoring in the minors with your clients</li>
 <li>The eight interventions inside the Flex Diet Certification</li>
 <li>Why following a proven system beats reinventing the wheel</li>
</ul>
The Flex Diet Certification closes tonight (Monday, June 22, 2026) at midnight Pacific. <a href="https://miket.me/fdc" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get details here</a>.

Dr. Mike T. Nelson explains why sleep—despite being a massive physiological lever—ranks last among the eight interventions in the Flex Diet Certification. The key concept: coaching leverage (physiology × psychology). Sleep scores high on physiology but rock-bottom on a client's ability to change, while protein scores high on both, making it the #1 starting point.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sara Campbell, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Rutgers University, for a conversation about the bidirectional relationship between exercise and the gut microbiome.
Dr. Sara Campbell returns to discuss her lab's cutting-edge research on the bidirectional relationship between exercise and the gut microbiome — including why consumer gut tests oversimplify a complex ecosystem, how antibiotics devastate exercise capacity in animal models, and why single-microbe probiotics miss the bigger picture of functional guilds. She also shares new findings on short-chain fatty acids, amino acid metabolomics after antibiotic treatment, and the emerging neuromuscular junction hypothesis.
In this episode you'll learn:
<ul>
 <li>Why consumer gut microbiome tests are misleading and what functional guilds tell us instead</li>
 <li>How antibiotics devastate exercise capacity and the surprising metabolomic changes they cause</li>
 <li>The current evidence on probiotics for exercise performance and why single strains fall short</li>
 <li>What short-chain fatty acids do for gut health and exercise, and the emerging neuromuscular junction hypothesis</li>
</ul>

Antibiotics, Gut Microbiome, and the Exercise Connection — Dr. Sara Campbell — #390

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike T. Nelson dives into the intersection of AI and coaching. Using his quest to pick up the 175-pound Inch dumbbell as an example, he shows how AI struggles with niche topics where quality training data is scarce — and why that matters for fitness advice.
Topics covered:
<ul>
 <li>Why AI gave terrible advice on training for the Inch dumbbell — and what that reveals about how AI sources information</li>
 <li>The protein-and-kidney-damage myth: when AI repeats bad science</li>
 <li>Where AI actually helps coaches: data analysis, blood work organization, backend tasks, and production workflows</li>
 <li>Why clients still want (and need) a real human coach — accountability, customization, and skin in the game</li>
 <li>Will people be compliant to a robot coach? Probably not</li>
 <li>The baseline is rising: why just writing training and nutrition programs isn't enough anymore</li>
</ul>
Flex Diet Certification —<a href="https://miket.me/fdc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> now open through Monday, June 22nd, 2026 </a>at midnight PST. Eight interventions (protein, fats, carbs, exercise, sleep, micronutrition, fasting, and more) built on coaching leverage and metabolic flexibility.

The Flex Diet Cert is OPEN and AI vs Coaching Solocast — #389

Dr. Emily Dow, PhD, RD, is a researcher and registered dietitian working at the intersection of nutrition, resistance training, and gut health.
Does vinegar actually do anything for your gut or your blood sugar? Can you trust a $200 mail-in microbiome test? Emily built her dissertation around questions like these, and her honest answers are a lot more useful than the marketing.
Expect to learn what a 12-week resistance-training-plus-vinegar protocol did (and didn't do) to gut permeability, why a null result in a healthy population is still worth your attention, what the research really says about vinegar and glucose control, why the peptide boom warrants a hard dose of skepticism, what direct-to-consumer gut testing genuinely can and can't tell you, the underrated role stress plays in GI symptoms, and why the best practitioners do both research and hands-on coaching — and much more.

Dr. Emily Dow, PhD, RD, researches where nutrition, resistance training, and gut health actually meet — and where the science gets oversold. We get into what her 12-week vinegar-and-lifting study really showed, why most direct-to-consumer microbiome tests aren't worth your money, and why peptides deserve far more skepticism than hype.
