What's the real deal about protein? How much does one actually need per day and can we get enough from only eating plants? According Marc Wood, the nightclub boss who decided to go vegan 6 years ago and who started doing Triathlons at age 48, you absolutely can. He's now also a certified nutrition health coach guiding people at the gym how to build muscles and stay healthy on a plant-based diet and lifestyle. Listen to find out why Marc found the vegan route to be an easy choice and learn why plant-based proteins are the future.
Marc stopped eating meat at age 23 when he went to see an animal rights convention in Earls Court, London, where he for the first time became aware of the suffering and cruelty animals are subjected to. After eventually meeting a vegan friend several years later who educated him on the dangers of dairy and the cruelty that industry, it was an easy step to skip the T in vegetarian and go fully vegan. From volunteering at the Hospice of New York, Marc witnessed people suffering from a lot of diseases, which got him thinking about why so many people in the western world die from cancers and heart-related problems. He began educating himself on the causes of such diseases and today he's a certified Family Health Coach and helps others by going into their homes and giving lessons on how to cook tasty and nutritious plant-based meals.
