No-B.S. Plant Powered Nutrition
With Karina Inkster and Vesanto Melina
October 15, 2026 5-6pm PT / 8-9pm ET
Join registered dietitian Vesanto Melina and fitness coach Karina Inkster as we co-host a live Q&A on vegan nutrition. Bring your burning questions about supplements, protein, fuelling strength training, food prep, and how your nutrient needs change over time.
A fitness coach and a dietitian walk into a Zoom...
Here's what we'll cover:
Vesanto: Key nutrients, and how your needs change over time
Learn about the nutrients that matter most on a plant-based diet and how those needs shift across the lifespan. Vesanto draws on her new book, Plant-Powered Seniors.
Karina: Fuelling strength training on plants
Get the four-tier nutrition approach we use with our clients, and the mistakes that most often hold people back from building muscle, strength, and bone density.
Then it's your turn!
Most of the hour is open Q&A. Ask live in the chat or on video, or submit a question ahead of time if you can't make it or would rather stay anonymous.
This event is for:
- Vegans who want to make sure they're covering their bases, without obsessing
- Plant-curious folks who want straight answers before making changes
- Anyone who's tired of nutrition advice that's either terrifying or useless (or both!)

We'll meet live on Zoom on Thursday, October 15 from 5-6pm PT / 8-9pm ET.

How I feel about my body has changed significantly. I feel more confident, have more energy, and can feel myself getting stronger. I am so thrilled to just feel happier in my own skin.

I got clarification on vegan nutrition that I was thoroughly confused about. What you have given me will help me live a healthier, stronger life.
- Davina
I wasn't sure how to start a strength training regimen, but knew it was important. I didn't need someone shouting at me or shaming me, or any other number of ineffective coaching styles. Your steady, positive, affirming approach was just right. You let me direct the course, making corrections and suggestions as needed, all while keeping my goals in mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you for setting me up for success on this lifelong path.
