Holly MacKinnon is the founder of Small Seed Bar (an amazing plant based snack/protein bar company), a mother, and a truth seeker (stole this from her IG bio).

 

She grew up active playing sports like soccer and swimming, and her parents always had an abundance of fruits and veg around, she admittedly, actually over consumed fruit as a kid (learn more in the episode).

 

Her desire to learn more about what we really needed to fuel ourselves began in her early adult life soon after college, while working for a start up company.

 

Holly became more serious about her resistance training when she began training with her husband Shane and together they began cutting out food groups like Dairy and Gluten and began noticing dramatic differences in her day to day life. This ultimately led to them cutting out all animal products and embracing the Vegan lifestyle.

 

The shift to veganism led her to the path of creating the first Small Seed Bar (and boy am I glad she did), which came from her seeking a convenient yet delicious "on the go" meal.

 

Soon after creating the company she became pregnant with her daughter Opal, and continued to live her life normally. Lifting heavy weights in the gym and taking no days off despite the common thought that women need to take it easy while pregnant. Holly continued to train all the way up until the day before she gave birth.

 

We discuss this and her entire health and fitness journey in length, and also what fitness can mean for women seeking to better themselves!
