Hey, this is Mike Cashew and you're listening to the Brute Strength podcast. This week, I'm back for

round two with Chrissy Mae Cagney, owner of Donuts and Deadlifts, L.O. Supply Co, author of Flexible

Dieting and Flexible Dieting 2.0, as well as the owner of Black Iron Gym in Reno Nevada.

We started out the show talking about her recent decision to become a

vegan and what went behind that decision, what health benefits she sees, what challenges she sees,

and how she's overcoming them. We also talk about her crazy success in business and everything that she attributes that to.

Before we get started, if you're a regular listener of this show and you haven't done so already,

please head to iTunes and leave me a quick review. Enjoy the show. Hey, this is Mike Cashew and you're

Hello, Supply Co. L.O. Supply Co. author of Flexible Dieting and Flexible Dieting 2.0.

Chrissy, you're one of the busiest people I know.

Thank you so much for making some time to do this for me.

No problem, of course.

So you're vegan now, which is crazy.

What went into that decision?

Why?

Well, basically about a year and a half ago, I made the mistake of watching all those

documentaries. And I understand that those were made for a purpose, and I understand that's kind of only

one side of things. But basically, after just seeing, like, you know, mass farming and all that type of stuff and how animals are treated I just got very sad so I switched to pescatarian well first I tried to buy all my meat responsibly and locally and I had a very weird experience with that I went out to pick my meat up from this ranch and and when I got there, the woman told me I could

go out and thank the cows for their sacrifice.

Holy shit.
