Can bodybuilding change the way people see veganism?

On today’s episode of the Vegan Squad Pod, we sit down with Rosie Flores, a vegan bodybuilder four weeks out from her first competition. Rosie walks us through her journey from an athletic background and inconsistent training to structured progressive overload, commitment to competing, and launching her vegan fitness Instagram to document her bodybuilding journey.

She also opens up about the health scares that led her to documentaries like What the Health, The Game Changers, and Cowspiracy and to becoming vegan six years ago, plus how her labs improved with clean plant-based eating and her decision to get sober since January.

The conversation dives into navigating family skepticism, leading by example, and using bodybuilding as a “billboard” for veganism. Plus: John announces Rosie as Vegan Squad’s first sponsored athlete, with three shows planned and a documentary set to capture her full competition season!
