Wrestling With Your Diet! A Dinner With Austin Aries

The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

Austin Aries is a vegan phenom! He's wrestled for WWE. He’s been in a match at WrestleMania, won championships across the world and become one of the well-known professional wrestlers today. But his biggest accomplishment is adopting a plant-based diet after growing up in the dairy capital of the United States. He was born in Wisconsin, where people are so devoted to dairy they put cheese wedges on top of their head!

In this special episode, he and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll talk about his motivation for making the dietary change and the effect that it has had on his career. Even though he turned 40 years old, Aries is in the prime of his career and still wrestling as if he was in his mid-20’s. He credits much of that to eating a plant-based diet.

You’ll also learn his secrets for keeping it healthy while on the road for hundreds of days each year. Anyone can benefit from these tips!
