Plant Fuelled Podcast

🎙 What Does Strength Really Mean? John Thomas on Bodybuilding, Mindset & the Hidden Cost of Chasing SizeWhat if everything you thought strength was… wasn’t the full story?In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with John Thomas better known as The Bodybuilding Vegan to dig into the messy, honest, and often misunderstood world of bodybuilding, performance, and personal growth.From childhood bullying to chasing validation through muscle, from steroids and shortcuts to building a new mindset grounded in self-worth, John’s story is as much about psychology as it is about physiology.But this isn’t just one man’s journey. It’s a mirror for all of us. Because behind every rep, every diet, every obsession with size or strength there are deeper questions: What are we actually chasing? And at what cost?🔥 In this episode we cover:✅ Steroids, shortcuts & the toll they take on health and identity✅ The myth of endless muscle growth and the trap of never feeling “enough”✅ Building strength on a vegan bodybuilding diet performance, recovery & myths debunked✅ How childhood experiences and bullying shaped John’s early relationship with fitness✅ The mental health side of bodybuilding no one talks about✅ Why muscle isn’t just about the gym it’s about mindset, discipline & purpose✅ How John reframed bodybuilding into a path of longevity, compassion & authenticity✅ What it really takes to fuel, recover, and thrive without animal productsThis isn’t another “before and after” story. It’s an unfiltered conversation about what performance culture gets wrong, what we can reclaim, and how strength means more when it’s built on clarity, not chaos.🌱 Discover more about John:Instagram: @thebodybuildingvegan––––––––––🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & everywhere you get your podcasts🔗 Link in bio Step inside the world of bodybuilding, mindset, and what strength really looks like.––––––––––📲 Let’s connect:Instagram: @plantfuellednutritionWebsite: www.plantfuelled.co.uk––––––––––⭐ If this episode got you thinking about strength, health, or even your own story drop a review, hit follow, or share it with a mate who’s still chasing size at all costs.

🎙 Food, Addiction & the Myth of “Clean Eating” — with Molly Patrick (Clean Food Dirty Girl)What does it really mean to “eat clean”? And why has healthy eating become so tangled with guilt, perfectionism, and identity?In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with Molly Patrick  writer, speaker, and founder of Clean Food Dirty Girl  to unpack how food, culture, and self-worth collide.Molly’s story is raw and real. From struggling with addiction to finding freedom through food, she’s lived the messy side of wellness — and she’s here to tell the truth about what it actually takes to build a sustainable, joyful relationship with what’s on your plate.We talk about the obsession with “clean eating,” the marketing of morality in food culture, and the shame so many people feel when they can’t live up to unrealistic health standards. Molly shares her insights on recovery, self-compassion, and the power of progress over perfection plus why cheat days, detoxes, and diet dogma keep us stuck.✨ In this episode:✅ Breaking free from food guilt and all-or-nothing thinking✅ What “clean eating” really means (and why it’s been hijacked)✅ Addiction, recovery & rebuilding your relationship with food✅ Why compassion is more powerful than control✅ How social pressure shapes eating habits & self-image✅ The myth of perfection in wellness culture✅ How to create a nourishing routine that actually fits your lifeWhether you’re someone rebuilding your health, curious about plant-based living, or just tired of the toxic messaging around food, this one’s going to hit home.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & everywhere you get your podcasts🔗 Link in bio Real talk.
