#06: Celebrating Small Victories and Not Getting Hung Up On Specifics | Matt Ruscigno
Description
Matt Ruscigno (@mattruscigno) is a registered dietitian that has been vegan for over 20 years. Matt's interest in veganism was sparked from an early age and influenced by punk rock and skateboarding subcultures of the 1990s. Matt later studied nutrition and completed his master's degree from Loma Linda University and now offers consults through his website and is often involved in speaking events where he promotes a plant-based diet. Matt has also competed in a number of long-distance running and cycling events totally fuelled on a vegan diet.
In this episode, Matt and I discuss:
- How straight-edge punk rock bands influenced a wave of vegans.
- Things to remember when starting a vegan diet.
- The difference between 'plant-based' and 'vegan'.
- The role men play in the nutrition and dietetics field.
- How to discern fact from fiction when it comes to nutritional information.
- His passion for cycling and bike touring across different countries.
