Today’s conversation welcomes Robert Cheeke and Matt Frazier co-authors of the newly released NYT best selling book, “The Plant based athlete.”Robert is a former champion bodybuilder, a long time vegan and founder of veganbodybuilding.com.

Together they have written a book filled with science and plant based athlete transformation stories.

We discuss the why, what and how of plant based nutrition and the benefits that come from with it and of course we get into the million dollar questions surrounding protein, supplementation and amino acids.

Our conversation also goes into how to course correct when eating more plants becomes challenging. They also share something from their book will shock some non-plant based eaters as well as their personal stories.
