The Sonya Looney Show: How to Build Muscle On a Vegan Diet with Derek Simnett

Have you ever wondered if you could build muscle on a plant-based diet? This week, I sat down with Derek Simnett to talk about his shift from being more of a skateboarder, runner type to calisthenics and going to the gym. Not only does Derek have a perfectly chiseled, muscular physique and inspires others to be healthier, but he is also a certified nutritional practitioner. Derek's YouTube channel with almost a 250,000 subscribers is a great corner of the internet where you can learn workout tips, how to cook delicious plant-based meals, and see what he eats on a daily basis. Derek also offers his own e-recipe book on his website. Derek makes it easy to eat healthier and move your body.
