Episode Synopsis

How does a division 1 linebacker fuel his performance on a vegan diet? That's exactly what we set out to discover in this interview with John Petrishen, Pitt football star who began experimenting with a vegan diet in the early days of lockdown. Through close attention to his nutrition, along with consulting with numerous nutrition experts, Johnny played his greatest season yet, and it's far from over! Follow along as we hear Johnny's story and break down from a scientific perspective how his vegan diet may have become the secret weapon to this talented athlete's victorious season. Disclaimer: Like it says in our name, we believe in a "case specific" approach to nutrition. While a carefully supervised vegan diet turned out to be a great choice for Johnny, you should work with a dietitian to figure out what kind of diet is best for you and your unique needs :) Make sure to subscribe for more engaging interview and nutrition advice!
