Today we take a surprising and captivating journey with Maxime Sigouin, the dynamic founder and CEO of Fit Vegan Coaching, as we explore the remarkable transformation achievable through a plant-based diet and mindful fitness. Listen in as Maxime shares his personal evolution from a meat-centric bodybuilder to a high-fashion model to thriving on veganism. We unravel the complexities of body recomposition, especially for individuals aged 45 to 80, underscoring the importance of resistance training and bone density.
We reflect on the topic of body image, drawing from Maxime’s experiences in bodybuilding and modeling to aid clients in cultivating healthier self-perceptions. Wrapping up with a note on gratitude and inspiration, I share how Maxim's approach to taking regular breaks has inspired me to rethink my own practices.
