We all aspire to be the best versions of ourselves, and we all could use a little “fitspiration”. Whether you’re looking for people to inspire you in your fitness journey or simply need a good head start for your day, these three Pinoy wellness and health advocates are sure to provide you with your daily dose of wellness inspiration.
Ralph Go
International Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) fighter Ralph Go advocates a plant-based diet. Inspired by Brendan Frazier’s book, “Thrive”, Ralph stands as a testament that a whole-food-plant-based diet can boost athletic performance. He is the first vegan athlete to win medals in some of the world’s most prestigious BJJ competitions. He also founded the Superfood Grocer – a Pinoy store that develops plant-based alternatives. One of its brands, SuperScoops, offers dairy-free ice cream. Ralph believes making plant-based food accessible to the masses will make it more possible for Pinoys to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
