Ryan Foster

Ryan Foster is a nutrition writer who covers the science behind plant-based eating, from nutrient needs and supplementation to the latest research on how a vegan diet affects long-term health. He writes about diet myths, nutrition basics, and the questions people most often ask when they're trying to figure out whether they're getting enough protein, B12, iron, or other nutrients on a plant-based diet. Ryan tries to separate genuinely useful nutrition science from wellness trends that aren't well supported by research, and he's especially interested in translating academic studies into information people can actually use in their everyday eating. He pays close attention to new research on plant-based diets and chronic disease risk, and he tries to present that information clearly without overstating what any single study can prove. Outside of writing, Ryan is a competitive recreational runner who trains for a couple of half marathons a year, and he's slowly working through a self-imposed goal of trying every vegan protein source at least once. He enjoys board games, listens to a long rotation of science and health podcasts, and spends time volunteering as an assistant coach for his nephew's youth soccer team.
