In fact, it is now recognized that our high glucose diets are responsible for […]

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 […]

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 […]

The First Step To Optimizing Your Fat Metabolism

January is a time of new beginnings and change. And with the past 2 years who isn’t ready for real change? So in today’s vlog, I want to bust the biggest myth of all about OFM, the one that prevents most people from making that fundamental shift to fat as fuel. Instead of the usual 30 […]

Fat Adaptation – your competitive advantage in extreme temperatures

Shooting this video from Death Valley just before this year’s Badwater 135, and it motivated me to talk about how “going to the extremes” has helped us unlock the key to metabolic health and reverse aging.The last 2 Badwaters have been won by Vespa Fat Adapted athletes, 2018 in the hottest year ever and 2019 […]

Vespa Voodoo: A Natural Catalyst for performance & metabolic freedom

If you are new to VESPA I’d like to articulate what you might be thinking; “Vespa seems like Voodoo…..wasp extract, eww, …”  A friend gave me his honest impression as I was speaking to him the other day and I ‘get it’ . I’ve gotten it for a long time but failed to address the […]

Today, I’d like to bust through the Marathon Wall Myth.If you are watching this as an OFM Fat Adapted Athlete, you already know this wall disappears through fat adaptation and/or using VESPA, but today you will learn the ‘why’. If you are new to Vespa or OFM and an endurance athlete, you probably know this ‘wall’ […]

Your answer to peak health & performance lies in the ‘Murky Middle’

I want to start myth busting by breaking through the binary thinking that is pervasive in today’s culture. Once again, we’ve been ‘Sold & Told’ soundbites of information that gets us to ‘react’ instead of think. This is by design. It is convenient; convenient for us in our time constrained world and convenient for the […]
