Dr. Connelly of 'PROGENEX'
On March 12, 2010, PROGENEX Founder Dr. Scott Connelly and CrossFit Founder Coach Greg Glassman sat down to talk about metabolism, and , in particular, how it relates to your long-term health and fitness. The result is more than 90 minutes of education about the relationships between glucose, insulin, ATP, protein, body weight and health. It is a very deep, fast-moving seminar that is extremely enlightening. Some of the topics covered in the full version are:
• Why a calorie is not just a calorie.
• How insulin resistance was evolutionary beneficial.
• How "dieting" can make you fatter.
• What happens when you hit the calcium wall.
This is a small snippet of what he had to say on the matter..
What is insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance? And why is it important to your overall health? Dr. Scott Connelly sits down with CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman to discuss the impact of insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance in Part II of his series on nutrition.
PROGENEX is also the major sponsor of the 2010 CrossFit Games!

Great Piece!
Our metabolism greatly affect our health and fitness.
But for me, we can overcome it with intense discipline on what we eat and how we do our daily exercises!
