Summary
A former butcher has advice for going vegan — especially the first 30 days!
John “Bad Ass Vegan” Lewis joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share his journey from carving steaks to becoming one of the most influential voices in the plant-based community.
In addition to having hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, he is the author of the book Bad Ass Vegan. He calls it a “wake you up” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us fat, sick, and tired.
