Episode 44 - 10+ Years Vegan: How to Build Muscle, Stay Lean & Perform on Plants

🎧 How to Thrive on a Plant-Based Diet as a Business Athlete

Can you really build muscle, stay lean, and perform at a high level on a vegan or plant-based diet?

After 13 years of being plant-based, Fraser breaks down the truth — not from theory, but from lived experience.

In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser walks through how to master a plant-based diet the right way, without falling into the common traps that leave people tired, under-muscled, bloated, nutrient-deficient, or struggling with performance.

This episode is not about dogma.

It’s about building a complete nutrition system that supports your body, brain, hormones, digestion, and long-term health.

Inside this episode, Fraser covers:

• How to get enough protein on a plant-based diet
• Whether you can build muscle and strength as a vegan
• Why amino acid quality and complete proteins matter
• The biggest nutrient gaps on a vegan diet, including B12, iron, ferritin, zinc, iodine, selenium, omega-3s, vitamin D, calcium, choline, creatine, magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin C
• The best plant-based food sources to support those nutrients
• How to reduce bloating, improve digestion, and build fiber tolerance
• Why vegan junk food is still junk food
• Why bloodwork is essential if you want to do plant-based nutrition properly
• How to structure plant-based meals for fat loss, energy, muscle, and performance
• The foundational supplement stack for plant-based athletes
• Why the label “vegan” does not automatically mean healthy or optimized

This episode also breaks down the key mindset shift most people miss:

Plant-based eating is not just about removing animal products.

It’s about intentionally replacing them with the right nutrients, the right foods, and the right structure.

If you’re plant-based, thinking about going plant-based, or just curious whether you can get strong, lean, and healthy without animal products, this episode will give you the blueprint.

Because the truth is simple:

A plant-based diet can absolutely work.

But only if you build the system properly.
