Podcasts about Tenby

A pre-recorded programme looking back at our best interviews of the year to date. Guests include: Professor Richard Wyn Jones; Lord Simon Hart of Tenby; research associate at the Arctic Institute, Fiona de Cuyper; Baroness Carmen Smith; Dr Juliette Wood; Dr Abdul-Azim Ahmed; and Zaynub Akbar MS.

In this episode, Michael talks to Tenby Powell ONZM, former mayor of Tauranga and leader of KiwiKARE, about his team's humanitarian work in Ukraine and how nearly five years of war have transformed the battlefield. Tenby describes evacuating civilians from areas too dangerous to stay in, and the stoves his workshops build from scrapped water cylinders to keep people alive in winter when energy infrastructure has been destroyed. They go on to discuss the transformation of the battlefield by drone technology, and Ukraine's success with long-range attacks on Russia's strategic assets and interdiction of Russian supply lines.

This time, we're poised for Gen Con 2026 and making plans. Where will we be? What games do we want? What games do others want? Who is good at thumbs?

British professional triathlete Harry Palmer recently took the title for the third year in a row at IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea, an accomplishment that is not often achieved in sport.  A home race, a stacked field and a run battle right to the finish line, Harry held his nerve, held the gap  and took the tape in style in front of a spectacular crowd in South Wales.  In this episode Harry shares how patience, confidence and a mid-run mental reset helped him manage the race pressure to hold off his chasers to secure his third straight victory in Swansea.  Following a decorated age group career he switched to the pro ranks in 2019 and has had lots of success in the sport in recent years. From his three-peat in Swansea, to winning the Challenge "The Championship" Samorin this year, which he backed up with a third place at the 2026 IRONMAN 70.3 Jönköping European Championship after a 4th place last year. He also took third at the 2025 edition of IRONMAN Leeds and finished in eighth place at the 2024 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.  Just like all journeys in sport and life, the road hasn't been smooth along the way, gut issues derailed multiple races, before a deep dive with a sports doctor and his team at Precision Fuel and Hydration uncovered the fix, lowering carb intake and refining fuelling.  He also endured a rough 2025 that left him stretched thin, but 2026 has been good to him so far and with his 2027 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship slot secured, Harry heads to IRONMAN Wales - the race that broke him on his first attempt at the full distance - chasing redemption, a slot for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona and the ultimate quest to take the tape in Tenby and do the double in Wales in 2026. In the world of triathlon, where endurance meets mental fortitude, Harry Palmer stands out as a beacon of perseverance and triumph. His journey has not been without challenges, but with dedication, patience and his own self-confessed delusional self-belief he has conquered and overcome many obstacles on his way to sporting success. This is a great chat with Harry, if you'd like to hear more from him, give his podcast Uncomfortable Triathlon with fellow pro Andrew Horsfall-Turner a follow and a listen.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of AMP.This episode features Kev Appleton, GB Agegrouper and fellow YouTuber.Kev says "My Triathlon Journey started in 2017 when i was persuaded to enter the Blenheim Palace Sprint Triathlon in 2018. A year of training to get from over weight and unfit to to some kind of fitness I completed taht first Sprint race and was well and truly bitten by the bug.Later in 2018 I had my second triathlon but stepped up to Standard Distance at Woburn Abbey. Over the next few years I competed in several sprint Triathlons and returned to Blenheim again in 2020 and 2021I was soon stepping up again to 70.3 with Outlaw X, Outlaw Nottingham Half and Outlaw 70.3 Holkham, Ironman 70.3 Duisburg all completed. In 2023 we entered a Relay Team into Outlaw X with my employer Chairman and colleague we finished an amazing 3rd Place with a combined age of 167 years! Finally running out of excuses I'd entered the Outlaw Full in 2023. This was my first "Iron" Distance, wasn't to be my last though as I now "had" to do an "Ironman" race so Barcelona was the target for 2024. Earlier in 2024 as part of my training I completed Wales Long Course Weekend in Tenby.2025 I committed to a year of Sprint Distance racing with the intention of qualifying for the age group Team in Banyoles 2026. Making the Aquathlon Team is a great honour for me and has increased the determination to qualify for Sprint and Standard distance Teams for World and European Championships in 2027"follow Kev's journey on his YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@SwimBikeRunKevFollow on instagram @nivek4628You Can find the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GX39Z7P5follow us on Instagram - AMP_podcastFacebook Richard Joseph ConwayYoutube - AMP GBSupport the show

Kiwi charity founder Tenby Powell has been recognised by the Ukrainian President for his humanitarian efforts in the country's red zones. Zelenskyy awarded Powell the Order of Merit for the work his charity Kiwi K.A.R.E has carried out - with the organisation raising over $7.5 million to help fund recovery during the ongoing conflict. Tenby Powell says a majority of the newer casualties are caused by drones - and that's impacting the ongoing humanitarian efforts being carried out by the charity. "We now have drone identification handheld devices, but all that does is identify that there's a drone in an area, usually in close proximity, which gives the guys a chance to exit the vehicle if they feel that they are under direct threat."

After enjoying a week in Tenby, Richard Hattersley returns to the podcast to discuss Companies House reforms. While Companies House confirmed small companies will be required to file their profit and loss (P&L) accounts, doubts quickly followed. Hattersley unpacks where the reforms stand, the debate around P&L filing and why the situation has become so unclear. Back from Norway, Tom Herbert takes a look at the audit market and shares his growing concerns about the role of auditors. He draws on David Graeber's “Bullshit Jobs” concept, where people feel their work lacks real purpose, and wonders if audit is heading in that direction. Once seen as a pillar of financial integrity, audit may be losing its meaning. Herbert reflects on what this could mean for attracting new talent, the growing skills gap and the deeper identity crisis facing the profession. Matthew Ord shares a new ICAEW report on the evolution of mid-tier accountancy firms, highlighting that many still aren't convinced by private equity. He runs through some of the findings, as the team explores why some independent firms remain cautious, whether we'll ever agree on whether PE is good or bad and how the ongoing skills gap continues to shape the conversation.

Sandstrände und Steilküste, Schafe und Schlösser - wer all das als Urlaubskulisse mag, ist in Wales genau richtig.

Peacekeeping in Ukraine will be an extensive operation, according to one expert. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has rallied together leaders from Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand for a virtual meeting that he's dubbed the 'coalition of the willing'. Discussions focused on supporting Ukraine to achieve lasting peace. Kiwi K.A.R.E founder Tenby Powell says a peacekeeping force will need to cover a large frontline. "The question that I would ask the Minister of Defence is - do we have the numbers to be able to make a sustained effort. So we're making an impactful and meaningful contribution."

There's concerns the US and Russia are having peace talks without involving anyone else - including Ukraine. Ukraine's European allies are set to gather in Paris for an emergency summit on the war tomorrow. It comes as a US envoy is expected to meet Russian officials for the first time in Saudi Arabia later this month. Kiwi K.A.R.E founder Tenby Powell says this is a stark example of geopolitical injustice. "One would hope the Saudis, who are hosting this meeting, would have the presence of mind to invite Zelenskyy a some stage - but I think it's important to understand that this war hasn't just happened since February 2022."

The concept is simple: •Swim 3.8K on Friday night •Ride 180K on Saturday •Finish with a full marathon on Sunday The original event took place in Tenby, Wales, following a course similar to the Ironman—though, fun fact, LCW actually came first! Since then, it has expanded to Belgium, Holland, Mallorca, and, most recently, Yorkshire. There's now a range of distances available, so if the full distance feels daunting, there's likely an option to suit you. As Matt explains in our chat, LCW isn't just about elite athletes (though plenty do show up to race). Instead, it's designed for people who are fit, fat, and fun—his words! So, if that sounds like you, LCW could be your next big challenge. In this episode, we discuss: ✅ How the LCW concept was born ✅ Creating an inclusive, festival-style event ✅ Building community support and engagement ✅ Why LCW has a Festival of Champions—not a world championship   To keep up to date with Long Course Weekend events use the following links Activity Wales Website -  Activity Wales Facebook -  activitywalesevents Instagram - activitywalesevents Long Course Weekend Website - LongCourse Weekend  Facebook - LongCourseWeekend  Instagram - LongCourseWeekend     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@longcourseweekendglobal Cool Videos Watch highlights of: 2024 Long Course Weekend Wales 2024 Long Course Weekend Belgium   Join our SWAT/High Performance Human tribe using this link, with a happiness guarantee!

Benjamin Partridge is the host of Beef and Dairy Network podcast, which is a very funny comedy program described as "The number one podcast for those involved or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds." It is a program here on the Maximum Fun network. Mr. Partridge is also a Welshman and would very much like for you to join him as he takes us on a tour of the smaller and larger cities of the southern Wales coastline. Learn about the seaside recreation area where all the nearby miners went at once and learn about the city with a cathedral much too large for the city's population. You will fall asleep before we ever reach the western shore.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber? Email us at:  sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsTwitter @SleepWithCelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Twitter @johnmoe.John's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member. 

In this week's episode my guest is the brilliant Joe Skipper. Joe is one of the worlds top Ironman athletes. He has 3 top ten Ironman World Championship finishes to his name, including 5th in 2022, and is one of the greatest cyclists the sport has ever seen. He has won several Ironman races, and in September 2022, he made up over fifteen minutes after suffering a bike mechanical in Tenby to win at IRONMAN Wales, with one of the most impressive full distance performances on British soil. He also took part in the Sub7 project where, along with Kristian Blummenfelt he broke the seven hour mark in the 140.6-mile iron-distance. And he has now competed in a HYROX – and, despite the race not going how he might have hoped, he loved it and sounds like he wants to come back for more! In this chat we talk more about the sub7 project experience, we talk about his training (including his running training and how that might translate to HYROX), we discuss his best sporting experiences, how he liked HYROX, and lots lots more. It's a brilliant chat with a truly incredible athlete and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Dominic and Erica discuss their trip to Tenby in Wales.

Back in March, to mark 20 years of the Today guest editors we gave people the chance to apply in teams to make a programme with us. Thousands of you applied and this summer we have been featuring programmes guest edited by those successful teams of listeners. In the last in the series Vince, Fiona, Derek and Lucas invited us to Tenby in West Wales. For their programme they wanted us to look at what happens when the tourists go home from towns like theirs. They don't think we spend enough time thinking about the challenges that face coastal communities, not just in Tenby, but across the UK.

We're taking an intermission during August. Rather than disappearing, we're made you a montage of sound-feels selected from previous episodes. This week's theme is coastal. Listen to four lovely clips of coastal scapes we've captured. Take a tour from Tenby in South Wales, Coldingham Sands in South East Scotland, and Nothe Fort on the Jurassic coast of England. Here are the descriptions and full episode links  so you can enjoy them in full. 174 Where cool woodland meets the summer sea  At the far end of the long sandy beach at Tenby there's an area of cool, shady woodland. From the distance and under hot summer sunshine, it looks idyllic. Inviting. Under the trees the hot sunshine air is cooler. Laden with sweet musty smells and sappy perfumes. The birds are singing. Their sound reflecting between the trees. Melding with the washing waves.  This place is like a temperate greenhouse. A naturally reverberant space. Perfect, to set down, forget about doing anything, and just listen for a while.  178 Waves of the intertidal zone  It's late and you're out. in solitude, For an evening walk, on a wide open beach. Tenby beach in South Wales. Here, is white noise solitude. You scrunch over flat corrugated sand towards the shallowing waves. Then wade in. Immersed. Ankle deep and paddling. White noise is everywhere. Waves, are everywhere. Racing. Washing over each other. Left to right. Right to left. Face on. And under. Rushing away, behind you. Tiny bubbles. Sparkling. Shallowing. And dissolving, into fizz.  150 Looking down on Coldingham Sands  A bench. Perfectly perched, by the sandy steps that lead steeply down onto Coldingham Sands. Perfectly perched with a sound-view so wide, and angle just right, to hear the incoming waves as they break over outcrops of craggy, elephant-sized rocks. It's a bright August day, and the sun is mistily lighting up the sea, the rocky cliffs, and the plunging, richly vegetated slopes. This place, on the East Coast of Scotland, is special. It's a landscape under a genuinely quiet sky. A sky free of human-made noise, where the detail and quality of natural sound can reach the ear drums intact.  176 Early morning below Nothe Fort A smooth, sunrise sea, heard from a tree, growing up out of a bundle of boulders close to the water's edge. It's early April, and just after daybreak. The Lento kit is in the tree, capturing the wide spatial quiet of this place with nobody about, right beside Nothe Fort in Weymouth on the south coast of England. Ahead, looking south, the sea. West is Portland. East is Weymouth, then Durdle Door, near to Lulworth Cove. In this little settled spot, and from far left of scene, the sea seems to be breathing, softly, as it sweeps the shingle at the foot of the fort's huge parapet wall. Perhaps it's still asleep. Has it not heard the blackbird? Has it not heard the wren? Or the garden warbler? Maybe it does, in a dream. 

A shadow grey rock, the size of a stranded ship. Radiating heat, remembered from the midday sun. Around it, rock pools, and smooth curving shapes. Like sleeping seals. You're out. Alone. For a late evening walk. Overhead, and behind, the sky is a deep, deepening blue. An end-of-day blue. But to your right, on the low west horizon, it's still blazing bright.  This place, this wide open beach, is white noise solitude. All around, empty space. Empty space and sea air breezes. Sea air breezes, and some people. Happy cries, and beach ball thumps.  You walk. Scrunch sand between your toes. You swing your legs towards the sea. Head towards the intertidal zone. Stepping on hard ruttled sand. Over furrows of stranded water. For as far as the eye can see. Corrugated land. Low tide land. Shaped into longitudinal lines by the withdrawing waves.  Right ahead, bright white noise. And gulls. Just landed on the wetted sand. Rapidly stamping their little webbed feet, to bring up the morsels. A rush. Of cold fizzing sparkling rippling water. Breaks suddenly over your feet. Breaks, and splashes up your ankles. Stops you in your tracks. Swirls and foams and flattens and shallows, all around you. Fills the air with watery sound. Like shimmering blue, shoreline silk.  Now you're in, and immersed. Ankle deep and paddling. White noise is everywhere. Waves, are everywhere. Racing. Washing over each other. Left to right. Right to left. Face on. And under. Rushing away, behind you. Tiny bubbles. Sparkling. Shallowing. And dissolving, into fizz. Each one, each wave, adding one more corrugation, on the wide intertidal sand.  * This sound photograph of Tenby beach is first try of something new for Lento. We recorded it dynamically, as we walked, in one unbroken 30 minute take. Angling and panning the Lento kit, holding still on wide panoramic views, then panning down almost to touch the water for close-up views of the sparkling bubbles, then gently sliding sideways to chase waves as they race to the shore, as with a film camera. We wanted it to be a kind of sound film. If you can't make it to the beach this month we hope you can enjoy this intertidal sound walk, until you can.

At the far end of the long sandy beach at Tenby there's an area of cool, shady woodland. From the distance and under hot summer sunshine, it looks idyllic. Inviting. A shady promontory on the horizon that curves and blurs down into the sea.  The best way to get there we think, is by shanks pony. Walk, as slow as you like. Go the full length of the beach. Pass the kids playing and the running dogs who couldn't be happier. The picnicing families, and the lone beach ball, waiting patiently to be collected.  Steer yourself between the scattered seaweeds of the strandline, and the breaking waves of the shore. Just keep going, but don't forget to stop too. There'll be plenty of bits of flotsam and jetsam that need to be checked along the way. And the odd motorboat, to watch, far out on the water, steadily bouncing over the swell.  As you approach the headland, the trees loom. They are towering things. High, with broad boughs that stretch like green sails overhead. Some will be swaying in the onshore breeze. The beach ends here, so step off the soft sand and up and over the ridge of craggy rocks, to the wooden steps leading to the woodland path. A sandy adventure, that leads steep up, under the trees. Climb. Feel how the air cools. Becomes laden with sweet musty smells and sappy perfumes. Hear how the sound changes. How the birds are singing. How their sound reflects between the trees, and combines with the washing waves. The sea enters the lowest footings of the forest along natural inlets that are lined with gnarled and exposed roots.  This place is like a temperate greenhouse. A naturally reverberant space, shaped, regulated, and defined, by the sea and the trees. Such a perfect place, to set down, forget about doing anything, and just listen for a while.  * Tree canopies can divert over 60% of the sun's heat and so make you cool through a process called evapotranspiration.

It doesn't matter how old your children get, whenever they go on a trip you're always dreading that phone call…The one that often comes in the early hours of the morning…The one with the solemn voice at the end of the line.  The Nutley family of the Welsh village of Caerwent, received one such call in October 2004. James, who at 25 was the eldest son, had failed to return to his hotel after the first night of a golfing trip. His mother Catherine, wasting no time, immediately drove the hundred odd miles to the seaside town of Tenby, where the tournament was taking place. It's a drive she and her husband Jeff make twice a year to this day, a pilgrimage they have no intention of stopping, until they find out the truth about what happened to James that night…  For more information on every episode from all five series visit https://themissingpodcast.org New episodes every Monday.

Sunrise over Tenby. Blue sky. Scudding clouds. 5am, and nobody about, except for the birds in the murmuring air of a seaside town. This sound photograph, captured from behind the descending houses on St Johns Hill in Tenby, is spatial, and composed by chance with balanced foreground and background layers. A blackbird right of centre. Another blackbird, mid-distance and left of centre. Far distance, ranging 90 degree left to 90 degree right, wrens and other birds. The white noise of the beach can be heard reflecting slightly to right of centre, off the high wall of a large sided building beyond. Circling seagulls often pass over too, and light up through sound the empty airspace above.  This episode follows on from last week's 'Night murmuring in Tenby'. The daylight has come, but still rocking slightly in the breeze, is next door's rusted garden gate.  * Tenby is another location we've found that has quiet horizons. There was almost no aircraft noise in the four days we spent there. Quiet horizons we think promote a deeper sense of wellbeing and allow the natural world to be perceived properly. There is some wind noise in this episode due to coastal conditions, but because of the minimal human-made noise, the murmuration of the sea reflected off the nearby buildings is clearly audible even though it is on the other side of the hill.

Tenby. A seaside town on the South coast of Wales. End of May into early June. Late sunsets, followed by warm, springtime nights. It's 1am and the mics are recording alone. Capturing the atmosphere of Tenby, in the dead of night.    Behind where we're staying are dim shapes of buildings. A tall tree with whisping leaves. Empty sun loungers and nextdoor's gate, loosely fastened, being moved atmospherically by the gusts. Echoes of distant windchimes. And there above, the deep, dark, quiet sky. And all around, the breezes. How this place sounds. How it rests, in this smallest hour. And murmurates, under its so peaceful sky.  So much silky air blowing in from the Atlantic that it's barely any effort to breathe. Soft flowing currents, that billow, cuff, and clean. Listen. Listen. To the trees. Can you hear them? They're breathing for you. 

Shane Williams is a household name in sport worldwide, the former Welsh International rugby player is regarded as one of the greatest wingers and players of all time. With 87 caps for his country and multiple British and Irish Lions tour appearances, it is no wonder he is a World Rugby Hall of Fame Inductee and a winner of the World Rugby Player of the Year award. Embedded in sport for most of his life, when he retired from professional rugby in 2015 his love and passion for sport continued but took him in a very different direction. Taking part in his first marathon in 2015, it wasn't long before the Welshman became captivated with endurance sport, in particular, triathlon and more specifically with IRONMAN. Somewhat cajoled into taking on his first ever IRONMAN, he didn't have far to travel to take on his first full-distance race at IRONMAN Wales in Tenby, which he has gone on to complete five times, first hearing the words Shane Williams You are an IRONMAN, in 2015. It may come as a surprise to hear that on an IRONMAN Wales race morning, he is more nervous than lining up to play for Wales in the Principality Stadium. But, the goosebumps and passion he feels as he hears the Welsh National Anthem resound on North Beach in Tenby is one that fills him full of the same pride, excitement, and emotion he had as a professional rugby player and, when the gun goes he is more than ready, willing and able to race. A high achiever in sport and competitive by nature, he is as passionate today about triathlon as he was for rugby during his playing days.  Always looking to get the best out of himself and his performance in sport, life, and in business, triathlon has opened up a whole new world for Shane Williams, and in his own words says 'I'm hooked, it makes me feel so good'.

A former soldier Tenby Powell, says an awful lot of work, through diplomacy and operational channels, will be needed to return the body of slain soldier Dominic Abelen back to New Zealand. Thirty-year-old Corporal Abelen was on leave without pay from the Defence Force when he was killed in eastern Ukraine this week. Multiple sources have told RNZ they believe his body is in Russian hands. Government ministers declined to be interviewed on what will be done to retrieve the solder and can't say whether or not the body is now in Russian hands. However, Powell, who's in Ukraine providing humanitarian aid and helping with the evacuation of civilians, spoke to Morning Report producer Karen Brown.

Boarding a small passenger ferry at Tenby, you set sail for Caldey Island through a swell that rocks the boat like a toy in the bath. Before long, you reach the holy island. A 1,000-year-old Catholic monastery sits hidden within its wooded heart, but your first instinct is to walk the beach that stretches east from the tiny harbour wall. The sand is soft, warmed by the summer sun, and the breeze gentle. You find a spot to sit, down by the waves.BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be.Recorded by Daniel Graham.

Neil "Yoda" Hill is a bodybuilding legend in the United Kingdom and the founder of Y3T, his signature training method, as well as a coach to some of the world's most elite and successful athletes. He has spent 33 years in the bodybuilding and fitness industry, and has more than 30 years of experience coaching athletes and clients from around the world. Neil was born and raised in Tenby, Pembrokeshire in the UK. Having grown up in Wales and coming from a low-income household, he saw his opportunities as limited. When he was younger, he struggled with dyslexia, which caused him a great deal of frustration and insecurity. He had the impression that he was different. As much as he liked certain elements of school, he couldn't stand the fact that he couldn't progress due to his disability. So he threw himself into the things that he couldn't accomplish academically. For him, he has to be good at something to feel better. He began working as a paper round at the age of nine and spent 16 years as a technician in the motor industry before settling into kitchen and bathroom design, which he fell in love with because it allowed him to be more creative. This made him feel wonderful and fulfilled his life's purpose. That kept him motivated while he was succeeding in sports, as a professional bodybuilder, and other things he excelled at. Neil is now based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has achieved international renown as an instructor. He was also a very successful and competitive IFBB amateur and Pro Bodybuilder. He began to apply his knowledge and experience as a full time professional coach to help other aspiring athletes and fitness enthusiasts. With hard work, passion, time and a solid track record, Neil quickly amassed a reputation for getting results. This blend of experience, knowledge, and an innate ability to motivate people has made Neil a much sought-after coach. Over the years, Neil has climbed the ranks of the coaching world to become one of the world's most recognised names, and as a result, has won multiple personal global awards and athlete tiles. Listen to this episode's interview with Neil Hill as he shares his journey of discovering his life's purpose and passion, which led to his international success! ---------------- Follow me on Instagram and feel free to DM about 1-1 online training @krisgethin Do you need elite sports supplements you can trust to help you achieve your goals in the gym and in life?  Click here https://bit.ly/kgkaged Use the code Healthkik for 15% off all supplements For my preferred Biohacking and anti-aging supplements, go to https://bit.ly/kgbiostacklabs MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH: The Most Potent, Complete, First Full Spectrum Magnesium Formula Ever Created MagBreakthrough/kris Don't forget your 10% off code at checkout by entering Kris10 ------- The outcome from using, what is now known as the Visual Chemistry Athletic Skincare range is very clear - your skin will look cleaner, brighter, smoother, younger and will age far better.  Visual Chemistry Gstack Get 20% off and get your G-stack by using code Gethin20 ------- For a range of organic CBD tinctures, bath bombs and muscle recovery creams that I use for sleep, anxiety, joint/muscle pain and relaxation, go to https://bit.ly/kgeliteprocbd You heard me talking about it throughout this episode, MASSZYMES: A safe and natural digestive enzyme supplement for men and women which contains essential enzymes for better digestion, less bloating and relief from constipation and gas.
