In this episode of The Reach Your Peak Experience podcast, Aleksa the sports dietitian compares vegan diets with meat-eating diets for athletes. 

In recent years there has been an interest in vegan diets as the “hack” for health and performance due to the Gamechangers documentary.

How much merit is there to this belief?

Are vegan diets better than diets containing meat?

Are herbivores better athletes than omnivores?

Having the right nutrition strategy in place is key for reaching your peak potential so this is obviously a very important subject to address. 

In today’s podcast, I will cover:

• Are vegan diets the key to athletic performance?
• The key factors that ACTUALLY make a difference
• What you should do and focus on (the truth explained)

Listen to the full episode to learn the truth.
