Metabolic flexibility drives diabetes risk and elite athletic performance
Amanda Loud in The Washington Post profiles Liz Wolfert who, despite high activity, learns in 2015 she has elevated blood glucose signaling prediabetes. Researchers like Inigo San Millan emphasize metabolic inflexibility and low intensity training to improve fat and carbohydrate fuel switching via mitochondrial health. Wolfert and her mother Diane compare metabolic efficiency and exercise habits, noting Diane's lower intensity routine yields better fat burning.
