Sergio was already vegan. He cared about animals. He wanted to be healthier. But he still wasn’t seeing the results he knew were possible. The difference wasn’t going vegan. It was having a plan built specifically for him. Over the next 6 months, Sergio lost more than 50 pounds, built strength, gained confidence, and completely transformed his lifestyle. What’s even more inspiring is that he’s always been a passionate vegan activist. Now, he confidently uses his physique to show the world that veganism doesn’t just save animals, but it can also build a strong, healthy, athletic body when it’s done right! 💚💪 His journey is proof that you don’t have to choose between compassion and performance. You can have both. If you’ve been vegan for a while but still struggle with fat loss, building muscle, or staying consistent, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Dr. Matthew Nagra, ND recently shared some really helpful information on our podcast that I thought might benefit anyone here who's ever been told by a doctor they "can't be vegan." For those who aren't familiar with him, he's a naturopathic doctor based in Vancouver who focuses on evidence-based nutrition and spends a lot of time addressing nutrition misinformation using the available research. Dr. Matthew Nagra shares how he first adopted a plant-based diet for health and athletic performance before becoming ethically motivated after watching Earthlings. He discusses facing pushback in naturopathic medical school, how that challenged him to study the research more deeply, and why he ultimately adopted a more objective approach that acknowledges healthy animal-food dietary patterns are possible, though not necessary. We also explore medical ketogenic diets for intractable epilepsy, protein requirements and sources, the limitations of raw diets, common nutrient concerns such as protein, iron, and calcium, the uncertainty surrounding vitamin D recommendations, the claims behind "I was told I can't be vegan," and practical advice for effective activism, including consistency, diverse approaches, and avoiding perfectionism on social media.
