Forever Fit, Building a Sustainable Plant-Based Fitness Blueprint with Maxime Sigouin

What does it really mean to be fit for life?

In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, Sean A. Russell sits down with Maxime Sigouin, founder of MAVY Wellness and author of Forever Fit, to unpack a sustainable, realistic approach to long-term plant-based fitness.

Maxime shares why he moved away from rigid Vegan labeling to reach more people, how mindset and psychology shape lasting change, and why most fitness plans fail once real life intervenes. From body recomposition and muscle building to aging well and navigating setbacks, this conversation reframes what being “fit” truly means at different stages of life.

You will also hear Maxime’s personal journey through bodybuilding, endurance sports, plant-based nutrition, and loss, plus practical insights on supplements, protein, creatine, and building habits that last without burnout.

This episode is for anyone tired of starting over and ready to build a fitness blueprint that actually supports real life.
