On this week’s episode, Chris and Chase welcomed Clarissa Gannon onto the show!  Clarissa Gannon is the Owner of the online coaching company, Vegan Fit For Life. She is also a multiple-times certified fitness and nutrition coach. Clarissa founded Vegan Fit For Life as a result of her expansive experience in the fitness industry and after observing just how broken it is. After making the decision to incorporate a vegan lifestyle to help some health and digestive issues, Clarissa realized how desperate the vegan community was with needing real information and real nutritional strategies. ​ As a result, Vegan Fit For Life has become a main source of nutritional information for not only the general population, but also for the vegan competitive athlete.
