  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What can we learn from the physiology of endurance athletes as we tackle the epidemic of metabolic illnesses like diabetes and many other modern diseases? In this fascinating talk, Iñigo San Millán shows why endurance cyclists, runners and other athletes should be the gold standard in how we help people with different forms of metabolic dysfunction.
    With more than 14 years of experience as an exercise physiologist and sports medicine adviser for many professional teams and elite athletes worldwide, Iñigo is considered one of the top and most experienced applied physiologists in the world. He has worked with many elite and world class athletes and teams in sports including track and field, running, cycling, triathlon, rowing and basketball, including six pro tour cycling teams, a Tour de France winner and 16 Grand Tours podium finishers.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

    I’ve been following you for years. Your knowledge helped me get through an IM. This put everything together for me, thank you. And I’m going to share this with people who have tried everything but the simplest solution you put forward here. And I’m going for a walk now. Incredible speech, I hope you do it again, and again, next time with a glass of water 💦 😇

    Consistent zone 2 or MAF HR exercise is the great equalizer in bad health even with a less than stellar diet. However after 40-50ish in most folks it gets harder to out exercise a bad diet. Less sugar and consistent exercise fixes a lot.

    He has a point, but it’s specious argument to compare our modern selections of highly processed foods that are the cause of much metabolic disease to the diet of people thousands of years ago or even say, before 1970. Ancient Romans and early Asian cultures weren’t eating bags of chips and gallons of ice cream.

    As much as I appreciate ISM work, presented this way his thesis makes no sense. When it comes to chronic diseases it’s common knowledge that age is an enormous risk factor: élite endurance athletes are generally young, and young people are virtually chronic disease free too, no matter their lifestyle; therefore, unless we follow those élite athletes well into their 50s or 60s, checking their diets and so on, we cannot draw any reliable conclusion. Maybe it matters that their are aerobically super fit or maybe they just happen to be young, which, as far as we know, is the best cure of all...

      There is obvious performance decline with age starting at 27, but it's gradual, and you can see a lot of cyclists and triathletes in their 50s and even early 60s giving younger athletes a run for their money.

    This doesn't fit in with most of the other studies I've come across on the subject. Of course athletes can tolerate more refined carbohydrates and sugars :P Thats not nearly enough to make such a bs claim as sugar not causing insulin resistance.

    This is bull. I cycle on an ebike for about two hours a day and am still obese. Sure, an ebike makes commuting 20 miles a day easier for me but I still pedal and make an effort. I have to starve to lose weight.

      Eat less. If that doesn’t work, eat even less. Keep decreasing calories until you are consistently losing weight.

      Cycling is great for building some endurance, and strength, losing weight amounts to burning more calories than you eat. Your health comes from eating clean non-processed foods.

    In my 30s and 40s I jogged 5 days a week and went to the health club and did weight training, and when I ate more than a salad and a slice of bread per day, I gained weight. Exercise had to be accompanied by near starvation to keep off weight. So this speaker's idea does not fit my experience.

    • @Rafas216
      @Rafas216 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Provavelmente você se alimentava várias vezes ao dia e comia depois das 19:00 horas, isso causa resistência à insulina e acumulação de gordura corporal. Basta comer duas ou no máximo 3 refeições por dia, fazendo a maior de manhã e jantando cedo. O Jantar deve terminar antes das 18:00 e ser pequeno.

    Wow. So uninformed. He shouldn’t be speaking publicly. Just because he doesn’t know of the evidence that excessive carbs lead to metabolic disease doesn’t mean the evidence doesn’t exist.

    • @kptrzk9398
      @kptrzk9398 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      His premise is that reduced mitochondrial density and function will lead to the metabolic issues described. The studies that show excessive carbs lead to metabolic diseases generally use sedentary subjects (already likely to have developed metabolic conditions). Can you demonstrate that subjects with highly dense and highly functioning mitochondria develop the same metabolic diseases caused by an excess of carbohydrate intake?

    This is totally misleading, I am a master class swimmer and I train a lot. Until recently I used to eat mostly carbs and all of a sudden I incredibly discovered that I developed insulin resistance. Then I went keto and now my bloodworks are fine. I keep training hard without any carbs and yet got more energy then ever!

    • @timotius
      @timotius ปีที่แล้ว +4

      When you train, is it always on high intensity? Mitochondria is more developed when you do the lower intensity of your training (zone 2 heart rate). This is a good reason to always monitor your heart rate zone. And of course you need to consume a sufficient amount of sugar that can support your training (but not too much).

    • @Northwindbreeze
      @Northwindbreeze ปีที่แล้ว +11

      It seems that this isn’t misleading. Your experience vs. A ph. D who trained the elite and athletes from different classes and countries is to not say incomplete but very personal.
      I am a master in different endurance sports apart from swimming and my insulin resistance is far from high.
      I have done it all: keto for years. One meal a day. 5 days fasting every three months etc.
      I had infinite energy for endurance but not for competition. I could run continuously almost the whole day and hardly grasp a food, just water but it never allowed me to compete in something else, just ultra.
      Life is more than ultras.
      You know, if you needed lots of carbs like you said, you were training wrong.
