- Hey friends, this is episode 1 of a new UA-cam series that will document my personal health and fitness journey in detail. My goal with this series is to prove to everyone that you can be super healthy and fit as a vegan! 💪🌱
My journey will be shared with full transparency and lots of data. I’ll share my DEXA (body composition) scans, blood tests, strength progress, and more.
I’ll share my highs and lows and everything in between. My goal is to educate and (hopefully) inspire you along your vegan health and fitness journey!
I appreciate your amazing support, and I hope you enjoy this series! 🙏
Thanks to Tommy at Sport Speed Lab (sportspeedlab.com/) and BodySpec (www.bodyspec.com/) for letting us film these tests. I highly recommend both places if you're in Dallas, Texas!

Thank you for watching! 🙏 I hope you enjoyed episode one! Please be sure to subscribe for future episodes and lots more vegan nutrition and fitness content! 💪🌱 We are just getting started! 😎🔥
This first episode is amazing. Can't wait to watch the second one! Love from Italy 💚
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
10 years for me! Unfortunately years prior worked in animal agriculture as an inspector. Best decision of my life to make the switch and added bonus to my health
Glad you made that decision!!
Wow that was a big change. I imagine you say horrible things
The idea of this series is brilliant. I've noticed a marked difference in your physique over the past few months but didn't realize this coincided with you taking on a coach of your own and pressing forward with very specific goals. I'm very excited to continue watching this journey unfold.
Thank you, David!
22 years myself. did a half marathon without ever running more than 4 miles. I worked out that my total miles for the three years prior to the half was 4.5 miles
Thanks for sharing your story!
I am vegan and working out with health as my goal. I truly appreciate people like you
Love to hear it! We have some amazing meal prep videos on our channel that you might like!
I’m excited to see your transformation. Thank you for putting out this content that shows you can have muscle on a vegan diet.
Thank you!! Long way to go!
Love the way you did your measurements. I`ve always had severe body dysmorphia and I`ve envied guys like you with really good physiques. Turns out I`m not that far away from your measurements, just need to lose a little size on my waist. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words!!
Thank you for sharing your story. I ordered your merch yesterday to wear to the gym 🙂

Thank you for sharing you journey Leif and for your willingness to be so vulnerable in sharing all of your personal data. I just had my first DEXAscan and VO2 max test a few weeks ago and the data has been really valuable. Looking forward to the next video!
Great to hear that you also had a DEXA scan and tested your VO2 max test! How did they end up for you? As you expected?
I love this and can't wait for the next episode!
Glad you loved it!!
Im hoping you’ll share one of these meal prepping videos for your bulk phase. I really appreciate you’re always thinking about vitamins, minerals and micros in addition to macros.
