Hill grew up in Melbourne.[1] When he was 15, his father a professor of Physiology had a heart attack in front of him at age 41.[2][3] Hill wanted to find out what a heart healthy diet looks like.[2] He completed a plant-based nutrition certificate course at Cornell University and obtained a Master of Science in human nutrition from Deakin University.[4] Hill is the nutrition advisor for Chris Hemsworth's fitness app, Centr.[5][6] In 2019, he opened a plant-based restaurant, Eden Bondi at Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach.[6][7] The restaurant was described as an "instant hit among vegans and non-vegans alike".[8] It closed in December 2023.
In 2021, Hill authored The Proof is in the Plants.[9] The book argues that a diet of at least 85% whole plant foods helps maintain a healthy weight and reduces risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.[10] A review by Seth Yoder of Red Pen Reviews gave the book a high score for its evidence-based claims and scientific accuracy.[10] Yoder concluded that "The Proof is in the Plants is a well-researched book that argues that a whole foods plant-based diet is optimal for human health and the planet" but noted "the diet will likely also be expensive and difficult to follow in the long term".[10]
Hill is the founder of the Plant Proof podcast. In 2022, the podcast went through a rebrand and is now known as The Proof.[11] The podcast still focuses on nutrition but has expanded to other lifestyle factors that impact well-being including exercise, mental health and sleep.[11][12]
Hill is a multimillionaire.[13] In 2016, he purchased an apartment in North Bondi that was previously owned by actor Simon Baker.[14] In 2021, he purchased a $12.4 million house at Wategos Beach, Byron Bay.[13][14] He has described his own diet as mostly whole food plant-based.[1]
