Jon Venus is a physique athlete and former vegan influencer who has been lifting weights for 8 years, the last 5 of which have been as a vegan. With the birth of his son, nagging injuries (herniated disc in his back) and debilitating muscle cramps in mind he recently began to reconsider the science behind a vegan diet and reintroduced animal foods in his diet. His back pain, and muscle cramps improved significantly after this and he is now very interested in promoting open dialogue regarding the importance of animal foods in the human diet.
