Summary
Grief is an interesting thing, isn’t it? Sometimes a loss is overwhelming and debilitating. Other times, grief spurs us into action and advocacy.
That’s the story of Maxime Sigouin.
After Maxime's fiancée passed away from breast cancer seven years ago, he made it his mission to help others "disease-proof" their bodies with a whole foods, plant-based diet and consistent training.
The transformations of his Fit Vegan clients are nothing short of inspirational. "Taking imperfect action," he says, "is better than no action at all."
Today, he shares his tips for daily success in business and life.

| 0:58.9 | you today with my guest, Maxime Segui. In his mid-20s, Maxime was engaged to be married when his then-fiancé was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was vegetarian at the time and doctors gave her about one year to live. |
| 1:17.2 | She immediately switched to a fully Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet and was able to live another five years. |

| 1:31.2 | vacillating drastically from bodybuilder to fitness model and everywhere in between. |
| 1:37.4 | But inspired by his late fiance, he switched to a whole food plant-based diet over seven years ago and has made it his |
| 1:45.9 | mission in life to help others disease-proof their bodies with proper diet and training. |
| 1:53.0 | Please welcome Maxime Segui. |
| 1:57.0 | Welcome to the Plant Strong podcast. |
