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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
