The Work Is Not Finished

Coach Glassman addresses MetFix affiliate owners

During the Zoom meeting, Greg Glassman reaffirmed the stance he held while leading CrossFit: Western medicine’s approach—focusing on controlling health markers like blood pressure and triglycerides—does not work. A healthy state is the result of lifestyle choices.

The fitness trainer, who sees a client 5 days per week and has constant influence on a person’s diet and exercise, is best equipped to provide health, whereas the physician is not.

He also reiterated that the primary driver of chronic disease is sugar. While other factors may contribute to poor health, their impact pales in comparison to that of fructose. Glassman encouraged the community to stay focused on addressing this key factor.

“We have our work cut out for us in addressing the nature, the true nature of hyperglycemia. That alone is a job…

So everyone has made it their life commitment to get the microplastics out … those people that are harping about that aren’t talking about sugar. And the people that are searching through their cornflakes looking for the genetically modified organisms, they’re not watching the sugar thing either…  

The problem with an elevated blood sugar is so profound—It is such an enormous impact, that we may not be able to assess the nature of the other problems.

Do I think seed oils are good for you? No, I do not.

Do I think microplastics, teaspoon of microplastics in the brain is helping anyone? I can’t see it. It doesn’t seem like it.

But do I think that is what’s causing heart disease, obesity, diabetes? No, I don’t. No, I don’t. So that’s the lay of the land.“
