Show notes

In this episode, I speak with Taylor Patterson AKA The Vegan Trainer, a personal trainer and life coach who specializes in working with others to help improve various aspects of their life above and beyond just physical fitness. Taylor has a unique approach to his coaching that aims to improve various lifestyle facets such as work, social and financial health, to name a few, with the approach that improving each aspect will contribute to overall well-being. Taylor and I discuss his philosophies on this as well as what got him into fitness and strength training, what drew him to veganism over a decade ago, making healthy yet sustainable diet choices, his take on masculinity and how veganism can tie into that and so much more. Taylor is very well-versed in what he does and I particularly love his story about what drew him to going vegan as well as his work in men’s health and views on masculinity. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed our chat!

You can find Taylor at @thevegantrainer on Instagram and at powerplantbody.com. He also has a YouTube channel and Facebook page as well.
