Deficient Vegans

I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT), NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (NASM-CNC) and a USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach.

I take the things that actually matter for results like training principles, nutrition basics, and evidence-based strategies and turn them into clear, usable guidance.

I care a lot about accuracy and transparency. When it matters, I cite sources, explain tradeoffs, and update content as recommendations change.

I’m a Chemical Engineer by trade, but love cooking in my kitchen and coming up with new recipes! I also like knitting in straight lines (I can only make scarves and blankets lol), listening to music (rock and Taylor Swift), hiking and disc golfing!

I went vegetarian when I was 12 years old after a middle school teacher of mine mentioned that he was vegetarian for a few years when he was in the Peace Corps. Before then, I had never heard of or met a vegetarian and didn’t know I had a choice in whether or not I ate meat. Several years ago, I read the book “Eating Animals” and immediately went vegan after finally realizing the horrific realities of the dairy and egg industries (spreading awareness is hugely important because many people really have no idea).
