I’ve been vegan for about 15 years now, and over that time I’ve learned a lot about nutrition, training, and what actually matters when it comes to eating a plant-based diet long term.
In this video I share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way, including mistakes I made early on, how my approach to protein changed, and why perfection isn’t necessary to stay healthy eating this way.
Whether you're new to plant-based eating or have been doing it for years, I hope these lessons help simplify things and make the lifestyle easier to sustain long term.
