Feeling stuck in the “intermediate” zone with your MTB skills on the trails? Do you want to ride more confidently, tackle tougher features, or maybe (finally!) try racing?

This episode is your guide to making BIG gains in your mountain biking skills—without the overwhelm.

Today, I’m talking about protein supplements, amino acids, surgery, and recovering from injury.

Today, we’re diving into something everyone is talking about without even realizing it… but few actually understand: metabolic flexibility.

Think of metabolic flexibility as your body’s ability to shift gears efficiently, burning fat when it makes sense, using carbs when it’s time to perform, and doing it all without crashing or constantly needing a snack.

If you’ve ever hit a wall in your workouts, struggled with energy crashes, or felt like your “clean eating” isn’t working anymore, then this episode is for you. Let’s make shift happen.
