Should The Game Changers change your sport nutrition game?

There's a new nutrition documentary making waves on the Netflix scene. Called The Game Changers, it's the personal story of James Wilks, a former UFC fighter. He began following a vegan diet in an attempt to recover faster from a serious injury he sustained during training. While learning more about the best diet that would help his body recover, he had his mind absolutely blown by the fact that eating plants are actually good for you! (it should be noted here that clearly many athletes receive little to no nutrition education as part of their training programs). He was so impressed by the results he had from going vegan, he made a whole documentary about it. In this film he highlights other athletes who claim to have found performance advantages by trading in their steaks for tofu.

Of course in the past few weeks the discussion surrounding this documentary has been blowing up my social media feeds and DMs, so I had to check it out.
