My 7 Top Recovery Tips

Recovery is a HUGE topic these days in athletic performance but this has been a hallmark of both VESPA and the OFM Program for over 2 decades. Just ask any athlete applying the OFM protocols or simply just using Vespa! Why do the athletes we work with continually perform and often get better over time rather […]

Is Glucose Monitoring Really The Key To Your Health?

Diabetes and obesity are at epidemic levels. There is no shortage of talk about blood sugar, glucose and the need to regulate them.  Society has finally started to recognize too much sugar and too many carbs are not a good thing. In fact, it is now recognized that our high glucose diets are responsible for […]

Expanding Your Physical Limits With Vespa

If you saw the vlog featuring Nick Coury a few weeks ago you got to hear his journey to adopting OFM beginning with Vespa. Like most people Nick was extremely skeptical of both Vespa and the “fat as fuel” approach.  However, after that fateful race when his conventional nutrition plan went sideways, not only did […]

The Key To Your Best Performance is Learning To Burn Fat

The publication of the FASTER Study was a watershed moment in both sports physiology and metabolic health. The data from FASTER clearly showed humans are capable of burning a lot more fat and at much higher intensity levels than the science previous to FASTER suggested.Why is this important?FASTER forced researchers to reconsider the long held notion […]

Vespa – Mental Clarity via Blood Sugar Stability

Mental Clarity and what I like to call “Blood Sugar Stability” is a vital component for overall performance.

The Vespa Effect – “…recovery is off the charts”

This article is following on from the previous blog on trusting your own experience. “Science begins with observation” and YOUR observation and experience, because, no matter what the ‘experts’ and published studies say, you are an individual scientist for your own N=1 journey to higher health & peak performance. The so-called “Science” should corroborate YOUR […]

Health and Performance – Who YOU Really Need to Trust

We live in an interdependent world. In many ways this is a great thing, as it has enhanced our lives in so many ways. The very ability for someone like me, someone with limited resources and a radically different approach to health and performance, to reach a Global Audience is a perfect example. Balancing with convenience […]

Metabolic Capacity – A Springboard In Your Journey to Higher Health and Peak Performance

The term Metabolic Capacity is not a catch-phrase I just thought of, however it has been an evolving concept over several years. It’s origins come from reading scientific journal publications, online blogs or articles and real world anecdotal evidence which contradicted my own experience working with athletes who were literally pushing the boundaries of Human […]

Developing Metabolic Capacity is the Key to Metabolic Flexibility

Metabolic Flexibility is a term that is being tossed around a LOT these days. It’s trendy right now as people try to wrap their heads around using fat for fuel, which I’ve been pioneering for the past 22 years and counting. Like other trendy buzz words, I struggle with the term Metabolic Flexibility because it is […]

Myth Busting Your Appetite and Hunger Suppressing Diets

When you hear someone talking about how their Diet suppresses hunger, don’t believe them. That is right, do NOT believe them! It does not matter which diet is discussed – Keto, Paleo, Vegan or Plant based, humans have hunger triggers as part of our evolutionary heritage and biological hardwiring and for good reason.   Hunger […]
