Speakers' Stage
Billy Simmonds first stepped on stage as a bodybuilder in 2007, and has since gone on to win competitions internationally and turned professional. Many people in society do not associate strength with a vegan diet. Billy Simmonds shatters that myth as he demonstrates how he has achieved all that he has on a plant based diet.
Billy Simmonds is an Australian bodybuilder best known for winning Mr. Natural Universe Competition in 2009. Billy turned vegan in 2010 and has been vegetarian since 2002.
"When you look at the arguments to going vegan, you really can't deny it's the right choice,
in terms of your health, the environment and the impact you're having on others."
Billy also works full time in banking and teaches martial arts as well as running, surfing, rock climbing and powerlifting.
