In this interview at a MetFix Foundations Seminar in Seattle, Bruce Edwards—who served for several years as Chief Operating Officer of CrossFit Inc. —reflects on his long relationship with Greg Glassman, the evolution of the fitness movement, and what drew him to MetFix as an attendee. Edwards describes himself as an average athlete who nonetheless experienced profound improvements in health and strength through training and community, but admits that longstanding struggles with sugar addiction and deteriorating biomarkers persisted despite decades immersed in fitness culture. He explains that MetFix resonated because it connects behavior change, chronic disease, and aging to mitochondrial energy systems, offering the biochemical understanding he believes is essential for both coaches and individuals. In conversation with Emily Kaplan, Edwards points out that loss of metabolic health and mobility—not aging itself—is what ultimately erodes independence and quality of life, drawing on personal family experience. He frames MetFix not as a replacement for movement-based training, but as its nutritional and metabolic foundation: a complementary entry point that empowers people to make informed choices, restore health, and improve the human condition through education, community, and practical application.
