Paul Kerton – Hench Herbivore
Paul Kerton is better known by his pseudonym Hench Herbivore. He is an English Youtuber, personal trainer and nutritionist. He founded his Youtube channel back in 2014 and has become well-known for debunking nutrition myths and addressing issues within the vegan fitness community in a positive and entertaining manner.
According to Paul’s website: “His mission is to show the world that it is not only viable to reach your fitness goals on a plant-based diet but that this diet is in fact optimal for human beings. He is passionate about spreading a message of health and compassion through his youtube channel and books as well as various TV, radio and podcast appearances.”
Paul became vegan after he was introduced to a wholefood plant-based diet by his wife, Gemma:
“Seeing the data that the more animal products that we eat the quicker we succumb to and generally die from the ‘diseases of affluence’, he became scared for his life and committed to changing his diet and his lifestyle, before it was too late.
He quickly saw his health markers such as blood pressure and cholesterol vastly improve, and despite some initial misgivings his performance in the gym improved! He had faster recovery from exercise, more energy and no longer suffered from tendonitis. He stopped suffering from hay fever too and also had benefits to his previously failing eyesight.”
