Nutrition is a funny thing because there are so many ways to approach it, but it all has one thing in common. They will either fuel your body or cause long term damage. When it comes down to what we eat, you are allowing food into your system to either to bring value or instant gratification. Now imagine you had a family gene of cancer or some other illness that seems to just come through your family line, what would you do about it?   In this episode you will hear how Dr. Ashley Contorno, decided to go vegetarian, how she is able to sustain the lifestyle while still progressing in strength and muscle growth, and how she's changing the world of Physical Therapy! When you're listening to this episode I want you to have one thing in mind. Your health is valuable and in any point in time in your life it can be taken away or made to be changed for the better. Also, keep in mind that being vegan, vegetarian, plant based, ect, are all nutrition lifestyles that you have absolute power to thrive in, all you gotta do is educate yourself and be proud of the choices you make!
