Summary
Metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to efficiently burn fat or carbohydrate depending on demand, may be one of the most important and least understood markers of long-term health. In this episode, I’m with Dr. Martin Gibala to explore the emerging science of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality is central to both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training produces comparable mitochondrial adaptations to traditional endurance work in a fraction of the time. Could the key to better metabolic health be less about the hours you log and more about how hard you’re willing to push? Want ad-free episodes?
