Performance Fuel Switching

Meaning

Performance Fuel Switching is the physiological capacity to rapidly and efficiently transition between utilizing different metabolic substrates, primarily glucose and fatty acids/ketones, to meet the body’s energy demands during varying states of activity and rest. This metabolic flexibility is a hallmark of optimal hormonal and mitochondrial health, allowing for sustained energy without dependence on a single fuel source. It is essential for peak physical and cognitive performance.
