Neil Gyte’s Inspiring Health Journey

Neil shares his powerful “why” behind his dedication to health and fitness. His journey began with a pivotal moment at his daughter’s christening when he realized he wasn’t the active, healthy father he wanted to be. Weighing 260 pounds, he set out on a journey to transform his life through ultra-endurance training and deep research into the root causes of chronic disease. Through this journey, Neil discovered that maintaining mitochondrial health is key to avoiding chronic illness—a mission he is now dedicated to sharing with others as he aims to help over a billion people achieve metabolic health.

Metabolic Health Metabolic health is the body’s ability to process and use energy efficiently. When you’re metabolically healthy, you maintain stable blood sugar, inflammation and blood pressure levels, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Metabolic Efficiency Metabolic efficiency is how well the body uses stored fat and carbs as fuel, particularly during exercise. For endurance athletes, it means preserving glycogen and relying more on fat, leading to better stamina with less frequent refueling.

Fat-Adapted Endurance Athlete A fat-adapted athlete has trained their body to use fat as a primary fuel source, allowing them to sustain long efforts with less carb intake. This boosts endurance and minimizes energy crashes.
