Finding the right lifestyle doesn’t always happen in a day. Experimenting with workouts, supplements, and food can lead to an individualized approach to health that increases your chances of contentment and success and transitioning from one diet to another shouldn’t leave you riddled with shame or guilt. But, that is exactly what happened to Drew’s guest, Daria Deptula. Daria was a hardcore vegan online influencer and bodybuilder who lost most of her clients and many of her followers when she announced she was integrating animal products back into her diet. During this conversation, she shares the physical changes her body went through when she switched to veganism, what led her back to the omnivore lifestyle, and the emotional impact the negativity from the vegan community left on her after her transition.
