Robert Klein

Robert P. Klein found this way of eating in 2017 shortly after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
After two invasive surgeries which took almost 6 months to recover from, he started looking for a way to take control of his health. He found his way to the Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle and never looked back! Robert has since completed, 6 half marathons, twelve 10K races, 3 Ironman 70.3’s and in 2022, a Full Ironman at Lake Placid and an ultra-marathon. He attributes all of these athletic accomplishments to his commitment to the Plant Based Lifestyle. 

Learning to eat a plant dominant diet changed everything about Rob’s life for the better. He has more energy than ever and is able to recover from very strenuous workouts with very little effort, all because of the nutrition he gets from eating a high carb, low fat, plant-based diet. He has also been cancer free since 2017!  

Robert is a moderator in the Food Education group for Whole Communities, an online community program run by the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. Robert has been involved with PPMNY since 2020, mentoring in the 21-day jumpstart programs.
