In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and the man who unknowingly set PT³ in motion - John Thomas, better known online as The Bodybuilding Vegan. We dive deep into how he built serious muscle on a plant-based diet, the science behind optimizing performance without animal products, and the mindset it takes to stay disciplined in a world full of shortcuts. From undergrad memories to modern-day fitness philosophies, this one’s packed with stories, strategy, and straight-up inspiration.

Listen in if you’ve ever wondered:

• Can you actually build muscle on a vegan diet?

• What supplements matter most for plant-based lifters?

• How can you train with purpose and still enjoy life outside the gym?

When life gets loud, most people lose their focus. Not because they don’t care, but because they’ve never learned how to truly lock in.

In this episode, Dr. Nate breaks down the mindset and strategy behind what he calls The Great Lock-In. You’ll learn how to filter distractions, build tunnel vision for your goals, and create a routine that keeps you moving forward even when everything around you feels chaotic.

This episode is about more than fitness. It’s about clarity, consistency, and becoming the kind of person who follows through no matter what.
