Radio on iTunes and let's let the education begin. Hello Mike, welcome to the show. How are you doing?

Doing good. How are you doing? I'm doing really well. It's going to be a good one today, I think.

I've got so much to talk to you about because this topic of metabolic flexibility, which we're going to dig into later in the call, is an area that you've done a lot of work in and some really kind of fascinating stuff.

So I'm just intrigued to hear about that.

But before we get into any of the knots and bolts of things, perhaps you'll give

semi-short version is I've been in college for way too long. Back, it seems odd.

I don't like I want to say, like I'm old or anything now, but I started college in 1992.

So I did a Bachelor of Arts in Natural Science, and I always loved biology.

So I took a bunch of biology courses and decided that I didn't know what to do if I was going

So I used to tear things apart and attempt to put them back together, but I never really succeeded.

So I went off to then Michigan Tech and did two years in engineering, decided to go on and finish a master's.

So I did a master's in mechanical engineering there, primarily biomechanics.

Got done with that, so that I was never going back to school again.
