    046: Adele Velasco on Calamansi Protein and Giving Back | Vicky Hachey, RHN
    Jun 21 2026
    Clean protein powder without bloating is exactly what sports nutritionist Adele Velasco set out to build when whey isolate kept leaving her own clients heavy and uncomfortable. If you have ever finished a protein shake feeling bloated instead of fueled, that reaction to fillers and artificial flavoring is the reason calamansi protein powder exists. Adele, founder of Renegade Xtreme Fitness and Inspire Active Nutrition, joins Vicky Hachey, RHN to explain how a citrus fruit from her home in the Philippines became the base for a whey isolate protein that's organic, additive-free, and light enough to drink like water. Vicky Hachey, RHN, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and owner of Good Health Mart in Hamilton, walks through why high performance nutrition needs more than a good label. Adele shares how her CalamanSi I-20 protein and X4 super food blend fit into real training days, why 2 percent of every sale funds her Backpack Brigade for farmers' children in the Philippines, and how her 12-week Defiance Summer Cut Challenge builds accountability most gym programs skip. If clean eating habits and giving back matter to you as much as your macros, this conversation will change how you shop for protein. In this EpisodeClean protein powder without bloating starts with the right base ingredient, and Adele explains why she chose whey isolate over the vegan blends that left her feeling heavy for years. Calamansi protein powder gets its light, watery texture from zero fillers and zero artificial flavoring, the same organic standard Adele applies to every ingredient in her Inspire Active Nutrition line. Renegade Xtreme Fitness moved 70 percent online after Adele relocated her Hamilton gym three times, and she explains how she rebuilt a client base around Oakville and Burlington without losing in-person coaching. The Backpack Brigade takes 2 percent of every calamansi protein sale and funds school bags and education for farmers' children in the Philippines, honoring the farming families who grow her key ingredient. The 12-week Defiance Summer Cut Challenge builds nutrition planning and accountability coaching in from day one, closing the gap Adele sees in typical 21-day gym challenges that skip both. Vicky Hachey breaks down why nutrition decisions are harder to stick with than exercise decisions, and why keeping clean protein powder on hand removes one decision entirely.We talk about00:00 Why Vicky is back after a hot minute away 02:16 Meet Adele Velasco, sports nutritionist and Renegade Xtreme Fitness founder 03:30 What Adele is building right now across fitness and nutrition 04:58 Why Adele rebuilt her gym three times 06:16 Why calamansi and what makes clean protein powder different 07:44 What was missing from the protein powders clients used 09:00 Why nutrition decisions are harder to stick with than exercise 09:48 Who a clean protein powder like calamansi is actually for 11:41 Why calamansi protein powder feels lighter than typical whey isolate 12:26 How Adele sourced calamansi protein from the Philippines 13:42 How every calamansi protein sale funds the Backpack Brigade 18:22 What is the Defiance Summer Cut ChallengeReady to try calamansi protein for yourself?
