Venus Williams believes in plant-based concepts

Sean praised Williams and indicated the American player believes in the concept of plant-baseddiet. Although, it did take some time before getting her on board as she did not want to attach her name to any other company but wanted an active role. To make matters easy, the former Grand Slam champion and PlantX share similar outlooks.

Taking note of this, Dollinger further added, “She follows the same philosophy we have at Plant X. She is welcoming and says to try it out. It took a while to get the partnership over the line and wasn’t just interested in attaching her name to just another company out there. Her reputation is phenomenal and is one of the greatest players of all time.”
