Using Vespa with Peter Defty - Episode 183

Friday Aug 11, 2023

Peter Defty is the owner of Vespa. He is a wealth of knowledge. Luckily he is very generous in sharing what he's learned and what he knows with people like me. Peter changed my world in the Badger 100-mile Race. I had no stomach issues and no need to cram lots of extra calories into my system thanks in part to the use of Vespa Ultra Concentrate (https://vespapower.com/product/vespa-ultra-concentrate-12-pack/). It's not just the use of Vespa, as we discuss in this podcast, but the wholistic approach to a healthy digestive system. There's a lot to this episode, so get ready to take some notes! And thank you again to Peter for coming on and sharing so much information!
