Episode 84 - The Impactful Vegan with Robert Cheeke

Today, I am joined by Robert Cheeke. Robert grew up on a farm in Corvallis, Oregon where he adopted a vegan lifestyle in 1995 at age 15, weighing just 120 pounds. Today, he is the author of the books Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, Shred It!, Plant-Based Muscle, the New York Times bestseller The Plant-Based Athlete, and his latest, The Impactful Vegan, to be released next week on June 25, 2024. He is often called the “Godfather of Vegan Bodybuilding,” growing the industry from its infancy in 2002 to where it is today. As a natural bodybuilding champion, Robert is considered one of VegNews magazine's Most Influential Vegan Athletes. He tours the world, sharing his story of transformation from a skinny farm kid to a champion vegan bodybuilder. Robert founded Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness and maintains the website VeganBodybuilding.com. He is a regular contributor to Forks Over Knives, The Center for Nutrition Studies, Vegan Strong, and No Meat Athlete, is a former multi-sport athlete, and has followed a plant-based diet for over 28 years. Robert lives in Colorado with his wife and chihuahua.
