Welcome to the Fit Vegan Podcast! In this episode of the Fit Vegan Podcast, I sit down with my wife Ivy to talk through the most common fears and concerns people face before starting their health transformation. We cover everything from mindset and motivation to physical limitations, fear of commitment, and the real cost of investing in your health. We also explore how to stay on track while traveling or during busy seasons, the power of whole food plant-based living, and what truly creates lasting, sustainable change. Along the way, we bust myths about carbs, protein, and strength training, and share how our coaching helps people—at any stage of life—build strength, confidence, and long-term results.

[00:00–12:53] Getting Honest About Transformation: Common Fears, Mindset Shifts, and Moving Past the “All or Nothing” Mentality.

Key Quotes

"What I see often in people is that there's a fear of failing again... So they're afraid of like, well, if I take this on and I invest in myself, well I might fail because potentially they know that they have a hard time being compliant." -Maxime.

"So when I do speak with leads or people that are worried about, I don't want to get a lot of muscles and, you know, look like a dude. Trust me, I tried like for three, four years you won't. There is no way. I mean, unless you're, you're like really dialed into your diet and you know, bodybuilders too. Like, it's not happening. So don't worry. That would be the last of my worries!"-Ivy.
