Fraser Bayley has an unusual story – having gone from being a butcher with multiple mental health challenges to a passionate vegan advocate, bodybuilder, and online strength & nutrition coach. In a struggle to overcome serious mental illness including bi-polar disorder, ADHD, and severe social anxiety, Fraser chose to walk away from the butchery industry for good. He never realized how health, fitness, and veganism would then come together to transform his life in many amazing ways. Today Fraser operates an online vegan health and fitness brand called Evolving Alpha with his wife Lauren, which helps other vegans, curious non-vegans & high-performing entrepreneurs get healthy, strong & achieve a higher state of peak performance through a vegan diet & lifestyle.
