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 […]

GI Distress – Do you REALLY need ALL those external calories?

When you sit down to enjoy a meal (and I mean really ENJOY a meal) whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, are you going to do a lot of exercise? Of course NOT! So then why would you want to cram meal-sized amounts of calories into your digestive system when you’re trying to perform exercise? […]

Less is MORE – Are You “Over Fueling”

One of my consistent observations in working with athletes of all ages, abilities and endeavors is this: ‘Less is MORE’ . . . it never ceases to amaze me how little a person needs to perform and be on their game in life when they optimize their fat metabolism.But here is the catch & conundrum:  […]

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’ […]

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 […]

Experience Metabolic Freedom with Vespa, the 6th Paradigm Shift of OFM

In my last vlog I revisited the 5 paradigm shifts within OFM to help you understand the enormity of the paradigm shift OFM represents. However, I intentionally left VESPA out because it is a paradigm shifting product which helps DRIVE those 5 paradigm shifts. And for those of you new to and considering fat adaptation, […]

The 5 Paradigm-shifts of Fat Adaptation (OFM)

In my last vlog I examined various perspectives of a paradigm shift. This was to offer the necessary foundation to really consider today’s vlog on a personal and individualized basis. That’s because change is hard, very hard. It is our natural survival instinct combined with our habits and environment which keep us stuck and comfortable. Today, […]

Why do we always focus on “Diet”

In today’s world we are being hit with lots of studies and facts, I call it “soundbite science” OR “soundbite news”.  The problem is when you look at just the soundbites this can lead to binary thinking.So today I want us to take a bigger picture look at our health and what we know about […]

Make GI Issues a thing of the past
