  • 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!

    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.

    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

    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.
