About Vegan Liftz
Vegan Liftz was founded to cut through the bullshit, lies, and quasi-science that permeates the fitness industry (and some vegan groups online).
With the Vegan Liftz’ team of fitness and health experts, this website provides you with the best possible evidence-based and actionable advice so you can start making those vegan muscle and strength gains.
Most of all, we want to prove veganism is NOT the enemy of a great physique.
The reality is tons of people have built amazing physiques on a vegan diet, and so can you! To do that, we provide you the science-backed information regarding diet, training, and recovery.
It doesn’t matter if you:
We feel you. And we established the Vegan Liftz platform for YOU.
Our resources are published and available with you in mind. We hope you make use of them -- blog posts, product reviews, wellness advice, exercise and diet guides -- to your benefit.
P.S. For starters, make sure to check out the free guide to vegan bodybuilding - a step-by-step blueprint on how to build a lean and muscular body on a plant-based diet.
THE VEGAN LIFTZ EXECUTIVE TEAM
Jason Hughes
Co-Founder
Jason turned to veganism due to health reasons. He was physically ill, depressed, weak, and desperate. Despite countless appointments to many doctors for months, his health didn’t improve.
He started Vegan Liftz to share his journey and experience for the plant-based lifestyle. Over the years, Vegan Liftz has become one of the best evidence and fact-based vegan resources online.

OUR COACHES
Heather Turner
Coach and Editor
Heather is a personal trainer and vegan lifestyle coach with a passion for making gains and expanding brains. Brought up in your typical household built on meat and dairy, making the switch was her own choice and one that she made for her health as much as for the ethics and environmental impact.
Now Heather is obsessed with sharing just how incredible her journey has been and what a huge difference it can make for your health.
With years of experience as a semi-professional athlete and a fully professional vegan, Heather writes about her passions with authority and heart.

OUR MARKETING TEAM
Carter Freeman
Marketing Director
Carter grew up in a vegan/vegetarian home, so the diet is not something unfamiliar to him.
Growing up, he would have a bite of meat here and there, but he has gone full vegan five years ago. The benefits to his health, fitness, and overall well-being were undeniable and he hasn’t touched any animal-based food since then.

Connor Smith

Connor is quite new to veganism having adapted the lifestyle two years ago.
His passion for the plant-based lifestyle was triggered by his health -- meat made him feel sick. He slowly started reducing meat consumption and instantly felt better. Eventually, he cut all meat products from his diet entirely.
