Typhoid. That’s how my year kicked off.🤙🙃

Yeah… that old-school Victorian disease decided to make a surprise comeback and I was the lucky host. I’ll spare you the details (they’re grim), but let’s just say: five to six weeks of being completely wiped out.

Couldn’t move. Breathing was hard. Eating? Non-existent. The pain? Constant and deep, like my whole body was shutting down.

I wasn’t just tired. I was done.

No fuel. No function.
🔥

And just like that, everything I’d worked for disappeared, years of building muscle, baseline fitness, strength. I was deep into my HYROX prep, running pace!

I felt fit, capable, strong. Then suddenly, I couldn’t walk to the bathroom without needing to lie down.
That hurt. Physically, mentally, all of it.
⛰️

As a nutritionist, that was the killer, My whole job is helping others live at their best, yet here I was, totally unable to help myself.

Running a business, managing a podcast? Impossible. I couldn’t even manage walking to the kitchen.

When your motivation is to create, uplift and inspire, but you feel completely broken it hits different.
🧠

And here’s the bit no one talks about when you “recover,” from many illnesses, thats where the real work just begins.

The ripple effects have been brutal, zero appetite, exhaustion, brain fog, and the frustration of having to start from scratch. And I mean scratch. I felt like I had nothing left.
That’s the part no supplement or macro split can fix.
⏳

But in the last couple of weeks, there’s been a spark. A flicker of energy. Enough to start moving again, to reconnect with my training, to remember what it feels like to want to move.

Momentum. Even if it’s slow,it matters.
⚡

Today, I made it to the top of a mountain again. It wasn’t pretty,I complained, sweated, nearly turned back,but I got there.

And that win? It was massive.
🏔️

This isn’t about being “back.” This is about beginning again.
The climb is real. The comeback is slower than I want. But the momentum? It’s happening.

And I’m not done yet.
✨

And if you’re rebuilding too just know you’re not behind. You’re in it. Right where the magic happens.
We go again.
❤️

Of course, I felt left out without a little version of myself

And while the jawline’s a bit generous, I’ll allow it,because each version taps into a different part of my life and work in the world of vegan nutrition. If you’ve ever wondered how many sides one plant-based human can have, well, here you go:

1. Vegan Nutritionist Callum
Let’s be honest, this one’s carrying the whole food plant-based diet torch with a bit of extra jawline. This is the me that spends every day helping people transition to a plant-based lifestyle that actually works, whether you’re trying to hit your protein goals, improve energy, or get real about gut health. It’s not about perfection. It’s about what fuels you.

2. Podcast Callum – Host of Plant Fuelled

This one’s got a mic and an oat flat white nearby. Hosting conversations about plant based health, performance, sustainability and the stories that shape us has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. We talk everything from vegan performance nutrition to the mindset shifts that happen when people commit to a new way of eating.

3. Columnist Callum – Human Science Translator

If you're into learning the why behind what you're eating, this is me in deep dive mode. My articles break down the science of plant-based protein, hormonal health, inflammation, and how to eat for energy, all in ways that feel usable, not overwhelming. It’s vegan nutrition, decoded.

4. Surfer Callum

Not just here for the spreadsheets and lentils. This side of me is about movement, balance, and freedom, and proving that plant-based performance is the real deal. Salt in the hair, smoothie in hand, and recovery fueled by anti-inflammatory whole foods. Because what you eat should support how you live.

5. Cat Daddy Callum

Starring the real MVPs: Tofu and Tempeh. They’ve taught me patience, routine, and that sometimes your dinner is cold because a ginger kitten sat on your lap for 45 minutes. Still counts as plant-based lifestyle advice, right?

Last Night, I Sat Next to a Farmer and Questioned Everything We Know About Food🌱

Last night, I had the honour of speaking on a panel about how nutrition impacts food systems—alongside an organic vegetable farmer.

Before you ask why I'm shoe and sockless, it's because this the venue has cultural norms that have to be adhered to!

Here’s a stat that should stop you in your tracks:
We currently produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, yet 800 million humans are undernourished. Why? Because we funnel vast amounts of our crops—77% of global agricultural land—into feeding livestock (92 billion land animals, 1 trillion marine animals) instead of people. We’re not short on food; we’re short on logic.

Our food system is a house of cards:

We overproduce and waste food at insane levels.
We rely on livestock that consumes more resources than it provides.
We subsidise foods that harm public health while making nutritious options expensive and inaccessible.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, when people do want to eat better, they’re met with:

❌ Reels telling you carbs are the enemy
❌ Podcasts hosted by guys who got lean once and now think they’re scientists
❌ “Doctors” with blue ticks and zero citations, scaring you into their next supplement sale
❌ People preaching “carnivore cures everything”
❌ MDs fear-mongering with cherry-picked studies to sell you their latest book

And yet, last night, people wanted to learn. They asked about nutrients, sustainability, and how their bodies would adapt to dietary changes. Someone even asked, “If I ate 90% plant-based but kept some meat, would it still be beneficial?

Now, as much as I am vegan, I’m also not here to argue against actual science. A diet rich in whole plant foods, whether fully plant-based or predominantly plant-based, is undeniably better for both human and planetary health. It’s not just about ethics—it’s about efficiency, longevity, and sustainability.

So, where’s the real problem? Education.

We were never taught how to eat for long-term health. We were never taught the consequences of our food choices on the planet. And now, people feel overwhelmed,

misled, and completely unequipped to make sustainable changes. 📚🚫

People don’t want to be unhealthy. People don’t want to contribute to a failing food system. People don't want to live on a dying planet, But how can we expect them to change when we’ve set them up to fail? 🤷‍♂️💭

The solution isn’t just in changing diets—it’s in changing education. Because once people understand the bigger picture, they’re more than willing to be part of the solution. 🌎✨

A few years ago, standing on stage talking about health felt like trying to explain calculus to a group of people who just wanted to know if eating chips with a Diet Coke cancelled out the calories. The questions were basic at best, downright tragic at worst. Back then, the vibe was: “Yeah, mate, but does this mean I can still drink on weekends?”🍻

Fast forward to now, and it’s like the entire world got a subscription to PubMed. People aren’t just asking questions anymore—they’re coming in hot with science, stats, and stuff I sometimes have to Google on the spot to double-check. The questions these days? Absolutely next level: 📝

“How does resistant starch specifically influence butyrate production in the colon, and is green banana flour actually worth it?”👁️

“What’s the optimal dose of nitric oxide from dietary sources to improve VO2 max, and is beetroot juice legit or just Instagram hype?” 🫗

“Which form of B12—methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin—is better for lowering homocysteine, and does it even matter if my folate’s trash?” 😶

“Do glucosinolates from broccoli sprouts actually upregulate Nrf2, or am I just wasting time chewing grass?”🌱

“Is omega-3 from algae comparable to fish oil for inflammatory markers in endurance athletes, or am I better off just eating chia seeds and hoping for the best?”🫠

Like, when did people start knowing this stuff? Three years ago, I was out here explaining what fibre was, and now it’s, “Tell me about secondary metabolites and cellular apoptosis.”😮

But honestly, I love it. Because in a world that’s practically begging you to give up—endless Uber Eats notifications, a “health” industry trying to sell you detox teas, and a culture that rewards burnout—it’s refreshing to see people actually giving a sht.*💪

They’re showing up curious, asking better questions, and challenging the status quo. And it’s not the old, “How do I get abs in two weeks?” nonsense anymore. Now, it’s about living longer, feeling better, and not falling apart every time you climb the stairs.🏃‍♀️

The best part? People are putting in the work. They’re making small changes that actually matter—things like eating real food, sleeping more than four hours a night, and daring to drink water instead of eight cups of coffee. Revolutionary, I know.☕

People aren't making burnout their entire personality trait. 🥹

So yeah, the shift is real. People are reclaiming their bodies, their energy, and their health in a world that feels rigged against them. And honestly, I’m here for it. Because if you’re going to fight back, you might as well do it with knowledge, a plan, and maybe a side of broccoli sprouts (yes, they’re worth it).👀

Here’s to asking questions, leveling up, and giving the middle finger to the quick-fix industry. You love to see it.🖕

🌱I couldn’t tell who was smashing lentils or clinging to bacon, but everyone had one thing in common: curiosity. 🌱

Last night, I was in a post-film Q&A about plant-based nutrition and the vegan lifestyle. Now, I couldn’t tell you who in that room was mainlining oat lattes or who still thinks a sausage is its own food group. But one thing united us: curiosity. 🥹

That, and the ability to lob questions at me faster than you can say ‘but where do you get your protein?’💪

We covered everything. Iodine, zinc, iron, copper, protein, B12—because let’s be honest, people love to act like vegans are a sneeze away from nutritional collapse. 🙃

We dived into genetics, long-term health outcomes, and the small-but-critical difference between “processed” and “ultra-processed” foods. 🍔

Then came the heavy hitters: Can a whole-foods, plant-based diet really reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer? How do we cut through all the food misinformation out there? Do I personally agree with everything these documentaries say? Short answer: not 100%.

Long answer: documentaries rarely cover the nuances. Ethics, health, personal context—it’s all more complicated than a catchy headline or dramatic music score.🎵

But the best part of the night? No one came swinging with their opinions. No dietary tribalism, no ‘but my uncle drank three pints a night and lived to 90’ arguments just genuine curiosity. It’s exciting to see a real shift happening, especially among younger generations. People care now—about their health, their ethics, and how their choices affect the world around them.🍺

So, here’s the deal: curiosity doesn’t mean you need to dump your entire lifestyle overnight and start milking almonds in your kitchen. It means asking questions. Thinking about what’s on your plate and why. Maybe you make a small change. Maybe you don’t. But being curious is where it all starts.🤙

The world doesn’t change overnight, but curiosity is the first step—and that, my friends, is worth getting excited about.🌱
