We get the answers from Lara Giusti, co-founder and head chef of natural nutrition brand, Veloforte. With over 20 years experience, Lara has a wealth of knowledge on what it takes to fuel performance and recover from endurance exercise, and firmly believes that the best way to do that is with natural food and by staying away from ultra processed, synthetic alternatives. In this episode we find out why.
