“You’ve Never Eaten Meat? How Are You Still Alive?” Sophie Waplington has been fielding that question her whole life - today, she joins me to set the record straight.
I sat down with Sophie - creator of Soph's Plant Kitchen, personal trainer, accomplished athlete, and high protein recipe creator - to talk food, fitness, and how she inspires her 1.4 million followers to build a healthy life rooted in confidence and abundance.
We cover a lot:
- The myth that plant-based diets lack protein (spoiler: they don’t)
- What it really means to be protein-aware
- Why tofu is a plant-powered secret weapon
- How food and movement support mental and physical strength
- The power of high-protein plant meals for performance and recovery
- Why exercise is for everyone—no matter your age or fitness level
Sophie shares her personal story with genuine honesty. I know you’re going to love this conversation!
