Vegan Bodybuilding: Embracing veganism in 2015 following a cancer diagnosis, I embarked on a transformative journey. Establishing a vegan podcast in 2017, I became deeply engaged in the movement. Participating in events such as the Animal Rights March and LA Animal Saves Pig Vigil, I ardently advocated for our animal friends.
My podcast, spanning around 250 episodes, became a platform for diverse voices including pro athletes, animal rights champions, and esteemed medical professionals like Dr. Joel Kahn, Dr. Angie Sadeghi, and Dr. Garth Davis. Engaging with luminaries like Dotsie Bausch, Conscious Muscle, Ryan Nelson, and others, I delved into a wealth of insightful conversations.
In 2021, I ventured into the realm of bodybuilding, aligning my passion for plant-based living with the discipline of the sport. The fruits of this endeavor were recently celebrated as I clinched 1st place in two divisions on June 10, 2023. With Nationals scheduled for July 27-29, 2023, I eagerly anticipate the journey ahead. Grateful for the support of Thil Nutrition as my sponsor, I am committed to exemplifying the synergistic potential of a vegan lifestyle in the world of bodybuilding.
