Veganism and bodybuilding might seem like an unusual combination. After all, the sport is often associated with plates of chicken, eggs, and whey protein shakes.

Ellis earned her IFBB Pro Card in 2022 and consistently secures top placements in elite competitions; all while maintaining a plant-based diet supported by vegan supplements.
