Episode 2: Timm Döbert & Leanna Carriere – Driven by Purpose, Powered by Plants

Meet Timm Döbert, a conservation scientist, adventurer, and accomplished triathlete, and Leanna Carriere, a veteran personal trainer with two decades of experience and an impressive record of athletic achievements. Both are elite endurance athletes. Both are vegan. And both are challenging conventional ideas about what it takes to achieve extraordinary performance.

In this inspiring episode of the Plant-Powered Athlete series, Timm and Leanna share their personal journeys to veganism, revealing the turning points, challenges, and unexpected benefits that transformed their health, athletic performance, and outlook on life.

But their story goes far beyond sport and nutrition.

United by a shared passion for adventure and conservation, they have embarked on an extraordinary cycling expedition, following the migratory routes of birds from Alaska to Patagonia. Starting in July 2026 and continuing into 2027, this epic journey tests their endurance, resilience, and commitment to a cause far greater than themselves.

As they cross continents, every pedal stroke becomes a statement about protecting wildlife, respecting nature, and making a difference.

Two athletes. One epic journey. A planet worth pedalling for.

Discover what becomes possible when athletic ambition, plant-powered performance, and a greater purpose come together.
