Jeff Heusserer's journey is an inspiring story of transformation and adaptation in the face of challenges. Residing in Vienna, Austria, Jeff, at the age of 52, worked in big data and advanced analytics for A1 Telekom. In the past year, however, he has retired from his position at A1 Telekom and successfully launched a business analytics/big data consulting/project company. 

His sports journey began after school with mountain biking, eventually leading him to join a fitness center in Vienna. This exposure to road cycling ignited a passion in him, leading to several years of triathlon participation. However, in 2011, Jeff suffered a knee injury, limiting his ability to run and participate in triathlons. This led him to focus solely on road cycling.

Despite his active lifestyle, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2014, a turning point that left him shocked and depressed. His search for effective diabetes management led him to explore low-carb and ketogenic diet strategies to manage his diabetes. It was in his research that he discovered VESPA, a metabolic catalyst, and, subsequently, the VESPA developed OFM Program. 

Jeff observed significant improvements in his health and performance after integrating Vespa into his regimen. He conducted personal experiments, demonstrating a marked increase in his body's fat usage for energy. 

Jeff's commitment extended to his nutrition, embracing a whole animal diet which incorporates food based collagen and organ meats. These changes not only improved his athletic performance but also his overall health, with fewer illnesses during the winter.

The culmination of Jeff's efforts was evident in his participation in the Otztaler Cycling Marathon. He found himself significantly faster (20%) in the climbs compared to his performance two years prior. His strategic use of carbohydrates did not negatively impact his diabetes, and he credits his recent personal bests to his holistic approach to health and nutrition.

Jeff then went 'all-in" with the OFM Program and hired Peter to coach him and not only did his performance and health improve dramatically but he was able to wean himself off of exogenous insulin as a Type 1 diabetic, something unheard of yet Jeff is a living example.

Since that time Jeff has completed various Randonee and Cycling ultra-marathon distance events using VESPA and minimal enough carbohydrates to fuel the pushes and climbs. He has also made lifestyle changes that prioritized his 'Health Wealth' over 'Financial Wealth'. In doing so the opportunities for both have opened up!

Jeff's story is a testament to the power of metabolic resilience, the importance of personalized health strategies, and the transformative impact VESPA & OFM have on both physical performance and general well-being.

At 59, Jeff feels rejuvenated and, in his own words; ". . . cannot believe that 59 feels like 29"
