What really matters for getting stronger on a vegan diet? Spoiler: it’s not spending hours on cardio or obsessing over tiny details. In this episode, I break down the 4-part health and body composition hierarchy we use with our coaching clients. It’s a simple pyramid that shows where to focus your energy for the biggest results.
You’ll learn why nutrition is the foundation of strength, how to use plant-based eating to fuel muscle, and why supplements and advanced strategies come much later in the pyramid. No guilt, no fad diets, no B.S.
Whether you’re new to lifting or a seasoned vegan lifter, this episode gives you a clear roadmap to building strength, fuelling recovery, and keeping it all sustainable for real life.
Important topics we discussed:
>> The 80/20 rule for getting results.
>> What is diet culture, and why do we work toward dismantling it?
>> 3 steps to levelling up your plant-based nutrition.
>> The 4-step health and body composition hierarchy we use with our coaching clients to level-up their health and fitness.
