Can trying to eat perfectly actually make you less healthy?
Dr. Matthew Lederman joins Chuck Carroll to explore the hidden connection between food perfectionism, fear, chronic stress, gut health, sleep, and the nervous system.
A nutritious diet remains an essential foundation for good health. But what happens when healthy choices are driven by anxiety? When a small amount of oil, salt, or sugar feels dangerous? Or when every unexplained symptom sends you searching for another food intolerance, supplement, or dietary rule?
Dr. Lederman explains why two people can eat the same healthy meal while experiencing completely different physiological responses. One may be eating from joy and self-care. The other may be eating from fear—and that fear can keep the body locked in a state of heightened vigilance.
Chuck also shares candid stories from his own health journey, including the years when strict food rules created additional stress and the relief he experienced after allowing himself greater flexibility.
🧠 You'll learn:
- When discipline may actually be fear in disguise
- How stress and perceived danger can affect the gut
- Why a "perfect" diet cannot address every health problem
- The relationship between nervous-system regulation and sleep
- How to build healthy habits that feel sustainable and enjoyable
- Why health should make your life feel bigger—not smaller
Dr. Matthew Lederman is a board-certified internal medicine physician, medical strategist, and Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication.

Are Impossible Burgers and fake meats worse for you than a steak or hamburger?
Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to examine one of today's biggest nutrition debates. A veggie burger and a beef burger may both be classified as processed, but does that make them nutritionally equal? What about plant milk versus dairy milk, packaged cereal versus bacon and eggs, or a protein bar versus a cheeseburger?
Dr. Barnard explains what "ultra-processed" actually means, why certain foods can encourage overeating, and whether the widely used NOVA classification system paints with too broad a brush. He also explores why saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, calorie density, and a food's source may matter just as much as—or more than—the number of ingredients on its label.
🧠 You'll learn:
- Whether all ultra-processed foods are equally unhealthy
- How a veggie burger compares with a beef burger
- Whether plant-based meat and dairy alternatives are healthy
- Why ultra-processed foods may interfere with fullness
- Which additives and ingredients deserve a closer look
- The packaged plant-based foods Dr. Barnard considers reasonable choices
- What to look for first on a nutrition label
- How to make healthier choices when time and money are limited
The conversation also previews the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine, happening Aug. 13–15, 2026, in Washington, D.C. Dr. Barnard will be joined by more than 30 leading experts for presentations on ultra-processed foods, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, diabetes, heart disease, the gut microbiome, pain, cancer prevention, kidney health, the new Dietary Guidelines, and much more.

Junk food was harder for Susan Peirce Thompson to quit than crack cocaine.
The founder and CEO of Bright Line Eating joins Chuck Carroll for a deeply personal conversation about food addiction, compulsive eating, cravings, and long-term weight loss.
Susan shares her remarkable journey from crystal meth and crack addiction to becoming a PhD and internationally recognized expert in the psychology of eating. She explains why food addiction can be uniquely difficult to overcome when triggers are everywhere and eating remains necessary for survival.
Chuck also revisits his own addiction-driven 10,000-calorie days, including a daily Taco Bell meal containing more than 4,000 calories.
Together, they explore the foods that may be most addictive, dopamine downregulation, ultra-processed foods, the return of cravings years into recovery, and the personal guardrails that can help someone finally break free.
Susan also shares lessons from her book Maintain and explains why lasting weight loss is not simply about completing a diet. It requires a fundamental shift in identity and becoming devoted to the habits that support your health.
Susan also explains why a person's recovery plan must be individualized and why occasionally experiencing a craving does not mean that years of progress have been lost.
Chuck and Susan will be speaking at the Plant Powered Party in Las Vegas with Chef AJ, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz and many others. Tickets are available now for the Labor Day weekend bash.

Erling Haaland eats six meals and roughly 6,000 calories every day to fuel his extraordinary performance on the soccer field. But should anyone else be eating like him?
Haaland's highly publicized routine includes raw milk, beef liver, cow heart, steak, eggs, fish, pasta, vegetables, and honey. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to examine whether the foods powering one of the world's greatest athletes could create serious health risks for the average person.
Dr. Barnard explores the immediate food-safety concerns surrounding raw milk and the potential problems associated with regularly consuming organ meats. Could highly concentrated amounts of dietary cholesterol, heme iron, vitamin A, and copper become too much of a good thing?
🧠 You will also learn:
- Why an elite athlete may require thousands more calories than the average person
- Whether eating six meals a day provides a metabolic advantage
- The difference between short-term athletic performance and long-term health
- Why looking lean and powerful does not necessarily reveal what is happening inside the body
- Healthier ways to fuel exercise, recovery, strength, and endurance
This is not about criticizing Haaland's talent or discipline. It is about understanding why a diet created for an extraordinary athlete should not automatically become a nutrition plan for everyone else.

Krista Ryan survived the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas. Years later, she faced another life-altering challenge when she was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer.
Four surgeries, chemotherapy, an ileostomy, and a difficult recovery followed.
But Krista kept going.
She joins Chuck Carroll to share the resilience philosophy she calls KFG: Know, Focus, Go. The initials also carry another, considerably more forceful meaning that captures the determination required to move forward when life becomes unimaginably difficult.
Krista explains why true resilience does not mean hiding fear or pretending that everything is fine. She shares how allowing herself to feel anger, grief, and vulnerability ultimately gave her more strength.
You will also hear how a brief conversation with another cancer survivor prompted Krista to seek testing, what it was like to tell her children about the diagnosis, how humor helped her through treatment, and why even the smallest action can be a meaningful act of perseverance.
This episode is for anyone living with illness, recovering from trauma, supporting someone they love, or searching for the courage to write the next chapter of their story.

Dr. Alan Desmond joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to discuss his new book, What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Food, and the conversations he believes every doctor should be having with patients.
Why do so many doctors avoid talking about nutrition? Are carbs really bad for you? Should healthy people worry about glucose spikes? Do GLP-1 medications fix the root problem? And what does the gut microbiome have to do with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, inflammation, and long-term health?
🧠 You will learn:
- The food conversations doctors and patients should be having
- Why nutrition training is still limited in medical school

The president of the American Medical Association became the patient after being diagnosed with a large brain tumor.
Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, immediate past president of the AMA, joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about how his diagnosis changed the way he sees health care, medicine, prevention, access, and the patient experience.
Dr. Mukkamala opens up about being diagnosed with a grade 2 astrocytoma, the shock of seeing an eight-centimeter brain tumor on his scan, and what it felt like to suddenly experience the health care system from the other side of the exam room. He also reflects on the extraordinary care he received at Mayo Clinic and the difficult reality that most people do not have access to that same level of care.
The conversation also explores the crushing cost of medication, including a new treatment that can cost nearly $900 per day, and why medical bills remain such a devastating burden for so many families.
Chuck and Dr. Mukkamala also discuss lifestyle medicine, plant-based nutrition, the future of health care, dietary guidelines, health equity, and why progress can still be powerful even when perfection is not realistic.
This interview was recorded at the Lotus Health Foundation Symposium in Rochester, Minnesota, just days before Chuck's major surgery at Mayo Clinic. At the time of the conversation, Dr. Mukkamala was still serving as president of the American Medical Association.
Topics discussed include:
- What happens when a doctor becomes the patient
- Brain tumor diagnosis and recovery
- The emotional impact of serious illness
- Health care access and inequality
- The high cost of prescription medication
- Mayo Clinic and world-class care
- Lifestyle medicine and disease prevention

Billy Bob Thornton stopped eating dairy after discovering it was causing health problems. But is that a healthy decision?
Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll to separate fact from fiction.
Could milk and cheese be behind symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, fatigue, skin issues, congestion, brain fog, or feeling sick after eating?
Dr. Barnard explains the difference between a true dairy allergy, lactose intolerance, and dairy sensitivity. He also discusses what PCRM research shows about dairy, saturated fat, cancer risk, heart health, and the health benefits of choosing dairy alternatives.
Then we look at Thornton's wheat sensitivity. What is a true wheat allergy? How is it different from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? And when should someone get tested before removing gluten from their diet?
Plus, Billy Bob Thornton also said he eats for his AB-negative blood type. Dr. Barnard explains what the research actually says about blood-type diets, and whether blood type should determine what you eat.

Swapping animal protein for plant protein may help women lose weight after menopause.
Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to discuss a new study he co-authored that finds replacing animal protein with plant protein may be a powerful strategy for weight loss in postmenopausal women.
The study found that total protein intake did not need to change. Instead, the source of protein appeared to matter most. As women reduced animal protein and increased plant protein from foods such as soybeans, beans, and grains, they experienced significant weight loss.
Dr. Barnard explains why not all protein is created equal, how plant protein may affect metabolism differently than animal protein, and why this could be especially important for women after menopause.
🧠 In this episode:
- Why protein source matters for weight loss
- The connection between menopause, metabolism, and body weight

Is 2,000 calories a day too much?
Dr. Joel Fuhrman joins The Exam Room to challenge one of the most familiar numbers in nutrition and explain why the "standard" 2,000-calorie diet may not be right for everyone — and for many people, it may be more food than the body actually needs.
According to Dr. Fuhrman, consistently eating more calories than your body requires may do more than cause weight gain. It may speed up metabolism in ways that contribute to faster aging. The key, he says, is finding your personal caloric window: enough food to meet your needs, but not so much that you are constantly overeating.
🧠 In this episode, Dr. Fuhrman explains:
- Why 2,000 calories a day may be too much for many adults
- How overeating calories may affect aging
- What your personal "caloric window" means
- Your body's response to the "caloric rush"
- Why the Nutritarian diet is different from a vague "plant-based" diet
- How G-BOMBS — greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds — support longevity
- Why nuts and seeds may help with satiety and weight loss
- How sugar, oil, and animal fat may drive cravings
- Why salt may be a bigger concern than many people realize
- How microplastics and toxins are affecting modern health
Dr. Fuhrman also shares remarkable stories from his medical career, including patients facing autoimmune disease, severe migraines, digestive illness, and cancer.

Inflammation is at the center of many of today's most common chronic diseases — but what if the real starting point isn't where most people think?
In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll is joined by gastroenterologist and best-selling author Dr. Will Bulsiewicz for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about gut health, chronic inflammation, and the hidden role that stress, loneliness, and modern lifestyle play in making us sick.
Drawing from his new book Plant-Powered Plus, Dr. Bulsiewicz explains why the gut is a central command center for the immune system and the brain, and how dysfunction in the microbiome can drive everything from digestive distress to depression, anxiety, and long-term disease. He also opens up about his own personal health journey — including burnout, weight gain, and metabolic illness — and how healing his gut transformed both his life and his medical practice.
This episode goes beyond food to explore the science of the brain-gut-immune connection, the impact of chronic stress and isolation on inflammation, and why true healing requires more than just changing what's on your plate. If you've ever felt successful on the outside but unwell on the inside, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.

How to talk to kids about gut health and good food
-
How fiber slows sugar absorption and protects blood sugar
-
Kylie’s go-to high-fiber foods that taste great
-
How much protein you really need

Are processed foods unhealthy? A new study suggests we're divided on how to answer that question.
Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is one of the authors of that study.
He joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to dive into the results -- and why it matters that Americans are so conflicted about which class of foods are healthy, and which will make you sick.
Dr. Barnard will review the most purchased processed foods and identify which are the most and least healthy.
He will also go over the results of a PCRM survey showing Americans' opinions on processed foods. Many are unaware that the majority of food that they're eating is ultra processed. But not all processed foods are created equally.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

Ultraprocessed foods are everywhere — and a lot of them are making us sick! These industrially processed foods are being linked to 32 different diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and depression.
But UFPs make up more than HALF the foods we eat. More when it comes to the diets of children and young people. And it's no wonder — even foods marketed as "healthy" choices fall into this category.
So how do you know what's safe, and what's making you sick? Are all of them unhealthy?
Dr. Neal Barnard is here to guide us. He joins Chuck to explain how this one category of food is quietly fueling a public health crisis — and how you can protect yourself.
You’ll learn: What qualifies as an ultraprocessed food — and why it matters– The difference between a healthy and unhealthy processed food– How these foods are designed to be addictive and override your hunger cues– What the latest research says about chronic disease risk– Simple, affordable swaps to cut ultraprocessed foods from your diet
Whether you're trying to lose weight, prevent disease, or eat more mindfully, this episode gives you the tools to take control of your health — starting with what’s on your plate.

Can you reverse heart disease — even after doctors have written you off as a lost cause? What if your heart failure was so bad, you were considered too sick for surgery, or receiving end-of-life care? The late cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery believed no patient was incurable. And the secret to reversing chronic disease all starts with your diet, lifestyle and mindset.
"It doesn't matter how sick the patient is, it's always my mindset that the patient can turn around," says Dr. Montgomery. "That mindset is based on our experience."
Dr. Montgomery's groundbreaking treatment philosophy has helped heart disease patients walk out of hospitals, and even hospice. Learn about Dr. Montgomery’s own health transformation and how it impacted his practice. And listen for practical insights on plant-based nutrition, hydration, and heart health.
Chuck Carroll revisits this conversation with Dr. Montgomery from The Exam Room archives.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
How a natural plant-based diet can reverse heart disease
-
Dr. Montgomery's own health transformation
-
Real-life cases of terminally ill patients who recovered by following Dr. Montgomery's treatment method

How to adopt a healthy diet and transform your health
-
How you can be fit, but sick
-

A healthy diet is even more important for patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer. Alison Tierney — a dietician who supports cancer patients with nutrition — learned this firsthand after she was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 33 years old.
She led what many would consider the perfect lifestyle: She ate a healthy diet, exercised regularly, didn't drink, didn't smoke. And yet, she found a lump while she was nursing her youngest child. But she wasn't discouraged. Alison says her healthy lifestyle made her recovery so much easier, and it may have even saved her life.
She sat down with Chuck Carroll at the Lotus Health Foundation Symposium in Rochester, MN to share her journey back to health and her personal tips to fight cancer.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
What to eat before and after chemotherapy
-
How food can support healing
-
Foods to avoid while recovering from cancer
-
How to talk to your kids about cancer
-
How to check for lumps after a mastectomy

What if the biggest threat to plant-based health isn’t meat — but misinformation?
Dr. Dean Sherzai is calling for a revolution in how we advocate for vegan nutrition. Instead of relying on viral anecdotes or purity-based ideology, Sherzai makes a compelling case for data literacy, scientific integrity, and humility. He explains why dogma—even in the plant-based world—is hurting the movement and pushing people away.
Learn what it takes to rebuild trust and grow a movement that lasts. Whether you're plant-curious, evidence-minded, or just tired of online nutrition wars, this episode of The Exam Room podcast is a refreshing take on what it takes to push whole foods plant based nutrition forward.

Your body reacts to a healthy diet far faster than numbers fall on a scale.
Long before you begin losing weight your body begins to transform radically inside. One of the biggest benefits is dramatically reduced cellular inflammation. This subsequently lowers the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Neal Barnard reviews a South African study showing how quickly the benefits of a healthy diet can take shape as he joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
The study examines people who are put on a predominantly whole food plant-based diet for two weeks and compares them to those eating a popular higher fat Western diet, and vice versa. The results are incredible!

Holly Bertone was an FBI Chief of Staff for Counterintelligence until her career was derailed cancer and autoimmune disorders. Twenty years in a high-pressure job with ultimate stakes had taken their toll and contributed to the demise of her health.
But she didn't let her years of intelligence training go to waist. After leaving her dream job she began investigating why her body was failing her. It was espionage on her "food monsters" that enabled her to finally crack the code on her emotional eating.
It wasn't long before she accomplished her new mission of becoming a Certified Holistic Health Coach. Now she is using the same investigative tactics to help other high-achieving women solve their own mysteries by overcoming emotional eating and reclaiming their health.
Holly joins Chuck Carroll to share her incredible journey back to health on The Exam Room Podcast.

Food is as powerful as any medicine, according to a leading cardiologist.
Dr. Columbus Batiste tells his patients to eat the food that their great grandparents would eat. In essence, for health reasons it is critical that we eat food that will decay and break down rather than stand the test of time.
That is why Dr. Batiste is a major proponent of limiting ultra processed foods in the diet. He warns that we don't know fully understand how the additives in those foods are impacting our body.

Food additives that are destroying our health

What is the best diet for someone with diabetes?
Dr. Thomas Campbell shares his research comparing the DASH Diet and a whole food plant-based diet. Their effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are then examined.
Although both diets showed improvement, the participants experienced superior results while eating the WFPB diet. Dr. Campbell explains why when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
In the Interview:
Plant-Based Diet for Diabetes Management: The interview emphasizes the effectiveness of a whole food plant-based diet in managing diabetes, contrasting it with other dietary approaches like the keto diet, which merely suppresses symptoms rather than addressing underlying issues.
Influence of Family Legacy: Dr. Campbell reflects on the profound influence of his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell who co-authored The China Study, on his career choice in medicine, emphasizing that his motivation stemmed from passion rather than pressure.
Challenges in Medical Nutrition Education: He highlights a significant gap in knowledge among medical professionals regarding diet and its effects on health, particularly in treating conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
Social Norms and Health: Dr. Campbell discusses how social norms contribute to unhealthy eating habits, making it difficult for individuals to change their diets despite knowing the health risks associated with poor nutrition.
Patient Education and Openness: Dr. Campbell stresses the importance of patient openness to dietary changes and the need for healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming patients with information.

This is everything you need to know about processed food. Which ones are healthy? Which ones are bad for you?
Find out as leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
- In This Interview -
Definition of Processed Foods: Dr. Barnard explains the difference between processed food and ultra-processed foods.
Health Factors: The conversation highlights that while processed foods are often associated with diabetes and heart disease, not all processed foods are equally harmful. For instance, some processed cereals may have preventive health effects compared to unprocessed meats, which can increase the risk of diabetes.
Processed Foods and Immune System: Dr. Barnard explores whether a heavily processed diet can weaken the immune system and make you more vulnerable to viruses.
Processed Foods and Life Expectancy: Chuck and Dr. Barnard hypothesize about the potential negative impact that eating a highly processed diet can have on life expectancy. Can these foods rob years from your life?
Sodium and Dairy: The discussion touches on the dangers of added sodium in processed foods and the health implications of dairy consumption.
Practical Tips: Dr. Barnard offers practical advice for incorporating healthier foods into your diet, such as stocking up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to encourage healthier eating habits.
Chuck also has details on a study tracking the outrageous number of advertisements for unhealthy food that are shown during football games.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

Learn the foods that can help prevent prostate cancer and boost your digestive health.
Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live to discuss the dietary factors that may influence your cancer risk.
In this interview:
Dairy Consumption: Studies from Harvard indicate that men who consume milk have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, regardless of whether it's low-fat or whole milk. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in milk is a potential contributor to this increased risk.
Meat Consumption: A diet high in red meat, such as hamburgers and fries, is also linked to a higher risk of prostate cancer.
Protective Foods: Foods rich in lycopene, particularly tomato products, and soy products are associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Soy does not cause breast cancer in men and may actually reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Impact of Lifestyle Changes: Making dietary changes after a prostate cancer diagnosis can be beneficial in preventing recurrence. Dr. Barnard references Dean Ornish's studies that suggest dietary modifications can positively impact men with prostate cancer.
Green Tea: Dr. Barnard notes that while green tea may have some protective effects, it is not a substitute for other dietary changes.
Sugar: Sugar, particularly from dairy products, is discussed as a potential risk factor for prostate cancer.
Overall Health: Dr. Barnard emphasizes that many men with prostate cancer do not die from it but rather from other health issues, such as heart disease, often linked to poor dietary choices.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

Are seed oils healthy?
The truth lies in the research. Dr. Roxie Becker does a deep dive into the data surrounding the controversial cooking oils. In a conversation with "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll, Dr. Becker highlights misinformation surrounding seed oils, particularly the claim that they are inflammatory. Critics often reference a systematic review showing no significant difference in arachidonic acid levels in the body, regardless of linoleic acid intake.
However, Dr. Becker also emphasizes that seed oils should not be the primary focus of a diet due to their high fat and caloric values, both of which contribute to obesity.
The interview concludes with personal anecdotes about their vegan diets and health outcomes, underscoring the importance of evidence-based nutrition.

Dr. Neal Barnard discusses recent findings and a potential breakthrough related to Alzheimer's disease.
He joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to highlight both the challenges and promising developments in research. The discussion comes as new cases of dementia are expected to double by 2060.
Dr. Barnard is the author of The Power Foods Diet.
Topics discussed:
Microbiome and Antivirals: New evidence suggests that the brain's microbiome may play a role in Alzheimer's. Antiviral medications, similar to those used for cold sores, could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by over 90%.
Vaccinations: There is a correlation between receiving certain vaccines and a lower risk of Alzheimer's, although vaccines can have risks.
Dietary impact: A Mediterranean diet, which avoids saturated fats, has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's.
Exercise: Regular brisk walking can help regenerate the hippocampus, which is crucial for memory.
Antioxidants: Antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, may also play a role in reducing Alzheimer's risk.
Omega-3 fatty acids: While omega-3 supplements are popular, there are concerns about their link to prostate cancer, suggesting a focus on natural sources instead.
Berries and anthocyanins: Foods rich in anthocyanins, like berries, are beneficial for brain health.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

A serious addiction was sending Michelle Oberg to an early grave. But it wasn’t an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Even though she was substantially overweight, Michelle just could not stop eating pizza.
It may seem puzzling to mention pizza in the same breath as cocaine or whiskey, but for Michelle Oberg the addiction had it hooks in as deep as any that would traditionally send a person to rehab.
The result of her out of control eating was a heinously inflamed body that was struggling to function. Her triglycerides and c-peptide levels were incomprehensibly high. Meanwhile, migraine headaches had become all too common along with painful gout flareups. At the same time her weight was spiraling out of control.
Despite growing sicker and heavier every day she still couldn’t say no to pizza.
Then she finally hit rock bottom and began to climb out of a dark hole and began breaking the chains of addiction and shedding the pounds that had been holding her back.
In an extraordinary story of what is possible, Michelle shares her journey of resilience with fellow food addict Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. She found strength and success after she began to eat a plant-based diet. And today she is thriving. Her goal is to inspire others struggling with demons to dig deep and make the change as well.
Key points discussed include:
Personal journey: Michelle recounts her history with food addiction and how it intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. She discusses her initial struggles with giving up pizza and the support she found in an online group for food addiction.
Transition to a vegan diet: As she worked on her food addiction, Michelle began to explore veganism and whole food plant-based diets. She describes how she replaced pizza with healthier options like chickpea curry and salads.
Compassion and self-love: Michelle reflects on how she finds it easier to have compassion for others than for herself, and how this realization has been part of her healing journey.
Motivations: Michelle shares her family history of health issues, including heart disease and Alzheimer's, which motivates her to continue making healthier choices. She wants to break the cycle of diseases in her family.
Ongoing journey: Michelle acknowledges that she still has about 30 pounds to lose and emphasizes the importance of making informed dietary choices. She discusses her favorite foods and healthy habits that she has adopted, such as preparing a specific salad dressing regularly.

Do you need to eat 2,000 calories per day? Is it more? Perhaps less?
Despite what you may think, there is no "one size fits all" approach to daily caloric needs. Learn how to determine how many calories you need with Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet. He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll who has lost and kept off nearly 300 pounds for over 15 years.
Key points discussed include:
Caloric needs: Dr. Barnard explains that while 2,000 calories is a common benchmark for a typical American adult, caloric needs vary based on factors such as body size, metabolism, and physical activity levels. Taller and heavier individuals generally require more calories.
Weight loss plateaus: The conversation addresses the common issue of weight loss plateaus, where individuals stop losing weight despite efforts. Dr. Barnard emphasizes the importance of monitoring caloric intake and suggests that if weight loss stalls for two weeks, it may be time to reassess dietary habits.
Dietary guidelines: Dr. Barnard shares practical tips for maintaining a healthy diet, including focusing on high-fiber foods, avoiding added fats, and incorporating power foods like fruits and vegetables that promote weight loss.
Mindset around food: The discussion touches on the psychological aspect of dieting, highlighting that individuals can still enjoy their favorite foods by making healthier versions, which can help reduce the fear of abstaining from certain foods altogether.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

A cardiologist reveals how to lower cholesterol naturally.
Dr. Steve Lome joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Key points discussed include:
Prevalence of high cholesterol: Dr. Lome emphasizes that high cholesterol is a significant issue, often unnoticed by those affected. He notes that while genetics can play a role, lifestyle choices are the primary contributors to high cholesterol levels.
Dietary impact: The discussion highlights the importance of a whole food, plant-based, low-fat diet in managing cholesterol levels. Dr. Lome shares anecdotes of patients who have dramatically lowered their LDL cholesterol through dietary changes, often within a month.
Genetic component: Dr. Lome addresses the misconception that high cholesterol is purely genetic, stating that only a small percentage of the population (0.2%) has a genetic condition that prevents them from lowering cholesterol through diet.
Saturated and trans fats: The conversation covers the impact of saturated and trans fats on cholesterol levels, with a particular focus on dairy products as a major source of saturated fat in the American diet.
Statins: Dr. Lome discusses the limitations of statins in treating high cholesterol, arguing that dietary changes are more effective in addressing the root causes of heart disease, which include inflammation and arterial damage.

A cardiologist reveals his natural method for lowering blood pressure and treating hypertension.
Dr. Steve Lome joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Key points discussed include:
Hypertension epidemic: The rising rates of hypertension are highlighted, with an emphasis on the fact that individuals have more control over their blood pressure than they may realize.
Blood pressure guidelines: Dr. Lome explains the American Heart Association's guidelines for normal blood pressure, which is defined as less than 120/80 mmHg, and discusses the implications of readings above this threshold.
Lifestyle vs. genetics: The conversation emphasizes that while genetics can play a role in hypertension, lifestyle choices, particularly diet, have a far more significant impact. Dr. Lome shares his personal journey of weight loss and how dietary changes can reverse hypertension.
Dietary recommendations: The discussion includes the importance of a whole food plant-based diet, the dangers of ultra-processed foods, and the high sodium content in common foods like chicken. Dr. Lome stresses the need to eliminate animal-based foods and processed foods to improve blood pressure.
Individual variability: The interview touches on the concept of individual variability in health outcomes, noting that while some may tolerate unhealthy foods, this does not mean they are beneficial for overall health.

Learn effective strategies for weight loss, particularly focusing on the benefits of a healthy diet.
Chuck Carroll has maintained a nearly 300-pound weight loss for over 15 years. He's joined by Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, on the eighth season premiere of The Exam Room Podcast.
Key points include:
Understanding weight loss: Weight loss is a complex issue. Dr. Barnard emphasizes that while many people try to lose weight by simply eating less, this approach can trigger starvation compensation factors that increase appetite and lead to failure.
Plant-based diet benefits: Dr. Barnard asserts that a plant-based diet is beneficial for everyone, regardless of blood type. He notes that individuals on a vegan diet tend to improve their cholesterol levels and lose weight effectively.
Caloric density: Discover foods that allow people to eat more while taking in fewer calories.
Nuts and avocados: While nuts and avocados are nutrient-dense, Dr. Barnard warns that their high fat content can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess. He encourages moderation with these foods.
Exercise and metabolism: Initially skeptical about the effectiveness of exercise for weight loss, Dr. Barnard acknowledges that while exercise is beneficial for overall health, it may not significantly contribute to weight loss. However, he notes that a low-fat vegan diet can increase metabolism by about 15% over time.
Dealing with cravings: Strategies for managing cravings, such as the HALT method (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) to identify underlying issues that may trigger cravings.
Meal frequency: Dr. Barnard suggests that packing calories early in the day with a substantial breakfast may be more effective for weight loss than the previously recommended multiple small meals throughout the day.
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

The relationship between physical activity and brain health is explored.
Kirk Erickson, PhD, the director of translational neuroscience at Advent Health Research Institute, explains that physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease regardless of how long a person has been sedentary. He stresses studies that show that it is never too late to experience substantial benefits.
Dr. Erickson also discusses the mechanics of how exercise boosts brain function, including increased blood flow and stimulation. The conversation also touches on the importance of strength training and the need for additional research to understand the optimal amount and intensity of exercise.
Additionally, he talks about the potential of blood tests to predict Alzheimer's and the significance of modifying risk factors through lifestyle changes rather than solely relying on pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Erickson joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.

The honorable Kim Norton is mayor of Rochester, Minn., also known as Med City.
The city is home to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most advanced and well-respected medical facilities in the world.
Despite the advanced treatments available and world class physicians, the area is not immune to the health challenges that have invaded the majority of American cities. Mayor Norton is fighting to change that.
She was an early champion of children's health and worked hard to curb childhood obesity.
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is then joined by Mei Liu and Dr. Jengyu Lai, who operate the Rochester Clinic. The facility is treating patients using lifestyle medicine practices, including providing them with fresh fruit and vegetables grown at the clinic's on-site garden.
The difference afforded to the patients to be given a "prescription for produce" is immeasurable for their health and long-term outcomes.
The interviews were recorded at the Lotus Health Foundation's Lifestyle Medicine Symposium in Rochester.

Eating a plant-based diet is not expensive. A group of nutrition researchers have proven that many people actually save money by switching to a vegan diet.
Shoppers saved nearly 20% off their grocery bill compared to a traditional diet and 25% when compared to the popular Mediterranean diet. The savings add up to more than $650 and $875 annually per person on average.
Dr. Hana Kahleova presents her findings and shows you how you can save money while improving your health as she joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
This can be a game changer for people struggling with high grocery prices!
Dr. Kahleova also explains why eating a vegan diet can improve your health and subsequently lower medical expense as well.
Join Chuck and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard’s Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7!

Americans say there is no place for the likes of McDonald's and Chick-fil-A in hospitals.
The giants of fast food are serving greasy, fatty, artery-clogging foods in the same building where patients are receiving artery-opening stents and pacemakers. Often these lifesaving surgeries are just a floor or two above where the unhealthy combo meals are being served up.
In a way it's like having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting above a bar. It just doesn't make sense.
Eating fast food four times a week may increase heart disease risk by 80%, according to one study.
So, why is it happening?
Dr. Roxanne Becker joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to talk about the findings of the hospital survey that revealed mounting frustrations with the state of hospital food.

Molly Patrick is a self-described dirty girl who loves to eat clean.
Her path to healthy living is unique to say the least, but it has also helped her transform thousands of others into the healthy bodies they've always desired.
Molly grew up living off the land. Her parents fashioned their home out of mud, straw, and rocks. They did not have electricity, hot water, or indoor plumbing. It was truly an 18th century way of life in modern times.
Interestingly, Molly has never eaten meat. Her passion for healthy eating was developed early. Yet, she still struggled with health in other areas. She has overcome addictions to cigarettes and has been sober since 2015.
This is certainly one of the most unique stories ever told on The Exam Room Podcast.
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll sits down with the Clean Food Dirty Girl, Molly Patrick, for an unforgettable tale of health on The Exam Room.

The microbiome undergoes a radical transformation during massive weight loss. The result has a profound impact on your health.
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, gastroenterologist and New York Times bestselling author, explains the changes during this episode of The Exam Room Podcast.

But the healthy changes can be experienced by anyone who loses even a little bit of weight.
On This Episode:
-
Stomach composition after weight loss
-
Best foods for weight loss
-

-
Gut sensitivities
-
Fad diets and the microbiome
-
Cheat meals and the microbiome

The premise: 22 sets of healthy twins are put to the test. One identical twin begins to eat an entirely plant-based diet while their sibling eats a meaty omnivorous diet.
While 70% of the diets were identical, 30% of the omnivorous diet was comprised of meat and other animal foods. It would be that 30% that proved the difference maker in terms of the cardiometabolic health of the twins.
In just eight weeks the changes were nothing short of astounding.
On average, the twin eating the plant-based diet lost an additional four pounds, lowered their LDL ("bad") cholesterol by 15 points, and experienced a 20 percent improvement in fasting insulin compared to their meat eating sibling.
Go inside the remarkable study that was the basis for the hit Netflix documentary You Are What You Eat.
Nutrition scientist and Stanford professor Christopher Gardner, PhD, is one of the lead researchers of the study. He outlines the findings and takes you behind the scenes of the documentary when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

Telomeres lengthening with plant-base diet

Molly Gibson is thriving once again after overcoming three debilitating illnesses.
In high school, her life was derailed by postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). She went from being a highly competitive athlete to completely bedridden.

She has devoted her life to helping others and opened Rooted3, a plant-based restaurant in Bethesda, Md., that serves the same foods that helped her body heal.
Molly shares her never give up attitude and journey back to health with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room podcast.

The truth about olive oil and your health is becoming clear.
The results of a well-designed randomized clinical trial yield the answer to a puzzling question: Is olive oil healthy?
The lead researcher, Dr. Monica Aggarwal, discusses what she calls "provocative data" gathered from the study. Would olive oil still prove to a healthy food if all participants were eating a healthy whole food, plant-based diet instead of the standard diet, which is often lower in nutrients and higher in fat?
While the study admittedly has limitations, the results unequivocally demonstrated that olive oil may not be as healthy as many believe.
Dr. Aggarwal joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll with the findings.

One of the most popular foods in the world is causing cancer. The average American eats almost 60 pounds of it every year.
Red meat.
Whether it's a hamburger or steak, red meat is strongly linked to cancer. The World Health Organization classifies it as a class 2a carcinogen, putting it in the same category as scores of hazardous chemicals and other agents.
Experts believe that red meat is behind a surge of colon cancer cases among younger adults. We examine the report and explore what it could mean for your cancer risk as Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.
Topics Discussed
-
Why are colon cancer rates rising?
-
Red meat's role in cancer cases
-
Healthier options to lower cancer risk
-
Reducing cancer recurrence
-
Genetics vs. diet and lifestyle
-
And more

The story of the 185-year-old yogi is more science than at first meets the eye.
That is according to Dr. Chiti Parikh, a leading integrative medicine physician and author of Intentional Health: Detoxify, Nourish and Rejuvenate Your Body Into Balance.
The longevity secrets of the mythological yogi trace back to a strict detox method. However, Dr. Parikh says this is more than myth. Rather, it's cutting-edge science.
Modern studies show the centuries-old detox process activates stem cells that reverse biological clocks and rejuvenate appearance and vitality.
What can this ancient method mean for your health? Find out when Dr. Parikh joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room.

Fat in milk does not count. That’s great news for dairy lovers!
Unfortunately, it’s simply not true and the science just doesn’t add up. Yet, that is the premise of new legislation that would return whole-fat milk with 5 grams of saturated fat per serving, representing a quarter of an entire day’s limit, to school lunches across the United States.
While the fat from the pizza, hamburgers, french fries, and other food on cafeteria trays is totaled up, the largest source of saturated fat is being totally disregarded. Why is that?
Double-board-certified pediatrician Dr. Yami and Andrew Binovi, director of government affairs for the Physicians Committee, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the bill and why fat in milk is being ignored.
The nutrition numbers don’t add up, but the rates of childhood diseases are mounting.

One mistake would change Alana Moor's life forever. She was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison in a foreign country that was thousands of miles from her home and everyone she knew and loved. Although isolated and stripped of her freedom, it was there that Alana began to find a healthier path forward. The food in the Panamanian prison system would routinely cause her to fall ill. On a few occasions it even required a trip to the hospital. Alana's journey to healing began with her pushing for healthier food options and leading daily exercise classes for other inmates. Through that she found self-empowerment and a sense of worth that had been lacking. And today she is working with one of the largest plant-based event companies in Canada while continuing to champion healthier options for those who remain incarcerated. She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for an incredible story of rebuilding strength from the ashes of despair.

Dr. Dawn Mussallem was clinically dead for four minutes. Her heart stopped beating in a room full of other doctors.
The fact that she came back to life is a miracle. It was the second time she defied the odds to live. Earlier in life she beat Stage 4 terminal cancer.
Does she have super DNA that helped her survive?
No. Her superpower is one that every other human has the potential to possess: a positive outlook on life. That outlook would enable her to become the first person in history to complete a marathon on the first anniversary of receiving a heart transplant.
Dr. Mussallem joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share her incredible story of cheating death and surviving against all odds.
This episode was recorded on location in Rochester, Minn., at the Lifestyle Medicine Pathway to Health and Happiness Symposium presented by the Lotus Health Foundation and Rochester Clinic.

Processed foods are more than Doritos, Oreos, frozen dinners, and mind-numbing amounts of breakfast cereals to choose from.
Chicken breasts, steaks, and other unprocessed meats are in fact processed food, according to a new way of analyzing the food we eat.
Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain this novel approach of understanding the way the food industry operates.
Topics Discussed
-
Processed food vs. animal processing
-
Animals are the "middle man" of human nutrition
-
Eliminating the "middle man" lowers the risk of disease
-
And more
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

Plants didn't just change Kelley Gilberry's life. They saved his life.
He was overweight, battling heart disease, and struggled with high blood sugar, too.
But the military vet would not surrender to an early death. Instead, he fought to reclaim his health. And he did so by arming himself with a plant-based diet.
Soon he would be winning the battle, reversing his heart disease, bringing his blood sugar back under control, and shedding the excess weight that had been troubling him.
Now Kelley has a new mission: to help others do the same.
That is why he calls himself One Determined Vegan.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his keys to success and how you can improve your health, too!

Tim Kaufman was a triple addict. Alcohol and drug abuse combined with binge eating nearly claimed his life.
Of the three deadly vices, it was food that had its hooks in him the deepest. It is an addiction more powerful than the fentanyl he was abusing. Ditto for what was in the bottomless liquor bottles he consumed each night.
Tim was beaten raw by life until he fought back and clawed his way out of a self-made prison. His journey began at rock bottom, and he has soared to new heights as a leader in the plant-based world thanks to his Fat Man Rants.
In this episode, Tim joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about the personal hell he created for himself and how he was able to overcome his demons.
The two recovering food addicts discuss their take of "cheat days" and why they are the downfall of good health. Especially after weight loss.
Tim is the author of the book Escape: Breaking Free From a Self-Made Prison.

Five studies on heart disease are analyzed by board-certified interventional cardiologist Dr. Columbus Batiste.
-
Fasting: Can time-restricted eating actually make you more likely to develop heart disease?
-
Salt and longevity: How many years can you add to your life by not adding salt to your food?
-
Lifesaving effects of fish: Skepticism surrounds a study that touts the benefits of fish compared to red meat.
-
Eggs and cholesterol: The study shows eggs do not raise cholesterol, but it is being called into question because of major flaws and conflicts of interest.
-
Heart disease rates: They are falling, but not for everyone.
Plus, Dr. Batiste explores whether calcified and clogged arteries are reversible in every case.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
Dr. Batiste is an assistant clinical professor at the University of California School of Medicine and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing a Broken Heart.

The queen of healthy allergy-free recipes joins The Exam Room with delicious and safe recipes that anyone can enjoy.
Kayla Cappiello specializes in recipes that are gluten free and can easily be transformed into dairy-free, nut-free, low-fat vegan masterpieces.
Her passion in the kitchen stems from her own experiences with food allergies. The journey began with acute episodes that landed her in the emergency room after eating nuts as a child.
As an adult, she often felt sick and tired and had brain fog. Doctors were baffled by her symptoms before discovering that she has celiac disease and was lactose intolerant in addition to having the nut allergy. Even something as simple as a sandwich would knock her for a loop.
Kayla didn't want to stop eating all of her favorite foods, so she began to develop allergy-free recipes for the dishes she loved.
She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about balancing making healthy decisions without sacrificing flavor and how her delicious journey has her feeling better than ever.

A doctor was able to stop crippling gout that haunted him for years within a matter of weeks. The painful flare-ups vanished quickly and never returned.
What changed for Dr. Richard Schmidt? He began focusing on different protein sources than he was used to. While he never ate heavily processed junk food, his diet did feature what he considered to be healthy sources of protein such as fish and lean meats.
He decided to eliminate them after discovering research showing their ties to inflammatory gout attacks. He now focuses exclusively on plant-based protein sources and has never looked back.
It is a remarkable turnaround for someone who once needed a wheelchair because the gout flare-ups had become so extreme.
Dr. Schmidt is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in Mountain View, Calif. He also serves on the President’s Council of the Physicians Committee.

Robert Klein came face-to-face with his mortality. The young father had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
After a painful surgery, he felt more needed to be done to help prevent the deadly disease from returning. The foodie from New York then made what could be the hardest decision of his life. The steak and pizza aficionado radically changed his diet and became vegan. Years later with his cancer still in remission he proudly boasts the nickname of "Broccoli Rob."
Along the way he's discovered two things: He can still enjoy pizza and that he loves to run! He's competed in the New York City Marathon and become a master of ordering the perfect vegan pizza in a city where those pies are legendary.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on this unforgettable episode.
Plus, Dustin Harder stops by with details on the Chef Challenge at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, DC this August. All chefs interested in bringing plant-based dishes to their hospitals are welcome to apply. Cash prizes are up for grabs!

Can you spouse or significant other make you physically sick?
The joke writes itself, but it’s truly no laughing matter. The answer is yes! And the reasons extend beyond just the day-to-day hiccups of relationships.
Research shows that your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner can have a direct influence on your health. Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain how the love of your life is influencing your ability to be healthy.
Dr. Barnard explains that it’s a double-edged sword. While some relationships can become a barrier to being healthy others can work very much work in your favor to build a healthier body inside and out.
To demonstrate how significant the influence your partner may have, Dr. Barnard shares a study examining high blood pressure among couples. If one person has high blood pressure the other is at a significantly higher risk of having it as well! And that’s just the tip of the health relationship iceberg!
In The Power Foods Focus, Dr. Barnard also shares the foods that you should be eating to boost your metabolism and achieve your weight loss goals.

Sugar can literally hijack your brain and disrupt healthy microbiome. Research shows that sweets come with a painful dark side that can destroy your backside as harmful bacteria thrives on the sugar you eat.

Topics Discussed
-
Effective outcomes with lifestyle medicine

Is a vegan diet always healthy? It appears that even with ultra-processed plant-based foods there are substantial health benefits.
The results of an analysis comparing a vegan diet containing "junk food" indulgences and a standard diet containing meat and dairy are examined by Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, who co-authored the study.
After analyzing the results of nearly 250 study participants, she joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast with the surprising findings.
About The Study
The analysis assessed the association of a plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI) with weight loss. The PDI measures adherence to a plant-based diet in general, the hPDI includes more fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans, and the uPDI includes more foods such as refined grains and fruit juices.
The findings are from a secondary analysis of a Physicians Committee study in which 244 overweight adults were randomly assigned to a vegan group that followed a low-fat vegan diet or a control group that made no diet changes for 16 weeks. Calorie intake was not limited for either group, and neither group was given diet quality instructions.

Many people would rather break up with their spouse than give up Doritos, pizza, or a pint of ice cream after a long day.
The food you crave doesn't talk back, question your decisions, or tell you that you're wrong. It only makes you feel better in the moment.
The problem is these foods become addictive with each meal. And soon life can revolve around getting the next fix. While it sounds extreme that is the reality facing millions of people every day.
And once you've hit that point breaking up with food will be infinitely harder than ending any relationship you've ever been in.
So, it is time to reset your relationship with food.
Discover how to conquer cravings and crush unhealthy habits with seven-time New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for an insightful conversation about food addiction and filling the body, mind, and belly with nourishing foods that can help to reclaim your health. In time your relationship with food will do more than reset. It will become stronger and healthier than ever.
It's not a breakup. It's an evolution.

“I can fix your arteries with balloon angioplasty and put a stent in there or I can fix it with broccoli.”
Those are the words of Dr. Ted Barnett who calls himself the “High-Tech Doctor With Low-Tech Solutions.”
Carving out a career has been a delicate walk for Dr. Barnett who practices as an interventional radiologist but would much prefer to treat patients with affordable fruits and vegetables rather than expensive and invasive procedures.
While the former still pays the bills, Dr. Barnett and his wife volunteer their time at the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, which he co-founded. It is there that he is able to write prescriptions for produce that are often more effective than the medicines patients were previously prescribed.
One of the newer methods of treatment offered by Dr. Barnett is a 15-day intervention to address the root cause of potentially life-threatening chronic illnesses. The courses are now being offered on a global level.
He sits down with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about his patients’ success and what he believes the future of health will look like.

Jim Greenbaum walked away from successful $130 million business with one mission in mind, use his wealth to change the world. Little did he know that his world was about to change as well.
It all began with a conversation at the gym.
Those few minutes helped this man with exceptional generosity and a tireless work ethic to help others began to realize that he too needed help.
After growing up in the land of Crisco, red meat, and Coca-Cola, Jim knew he had to do something to avoid the same fate as others in his family who were stricken with heart disease. He was already struggling with high triglycerides and cholesterol.
Jim was given a copy of The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and began implementing changes. It only took one month for "everything to go into total balance" for the first time in his life.
The effect was so profound that Jim shifted the focus and vast resources of his foundation to moving the world toward a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle.
Generosity is alive and well.

After losing 100 pounds himself, a doctor is rethinking how to help his overweight patients.
Cardiologist Dr. Steve Lome joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. Dr. Lome believes nothing can change until the root of the obesity epidemic is addressed.
He disagrees that there is no money in a cure. Instead, Dr. Lome says there's a path forward for everyone to win. Doctors and medical providers can still remain profitable while patients can lose weight, keep it off, and address the underlying medical conditions that have caused their quality of life and bank accounts to suffer.
It is Dr. Lome's belief that the financial and physical suffering will end through a new approach to weight loss. And it's an approach that he's already proven can work through his own eye-opening weight loss!

Protein can be found in the foods you’d least expect.
Nutrition researcher Christopher Gardner, PhD, explains that virtually all fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes contain all 20 amino acids that are the building blocks for the protein your body needs to function at a high level. Those options are widely believed to be healthier cholesterol-free options than what are considered traditional protein sources.
Gardner also compares the quality of protein found in various sources and why getting enough is like a big game of scrabble.
He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share his findings and a new view on protein.
This episode was recorded at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, DC.

Twin brothers Jeremy and Jordan Allen both suffered from alopecia. Clumps of hair would fall out leaving embarrassing bald patches on their heads that were impossible to miss.
They tried countless treatments and home remedies to regrow their hair. Nothing worked until they began eating a vegan diet. They say changing the way they eat enabled them to begin regrowing their hair and helps their body fight the autoimmune disease that caused the hair loss.
Together they are co-founders of All Love No Beef and join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to share their inspirational journey.

Nathaniel Jordan watched his father, a minister, die of complications stemming from an unhealthy diet. Ditto for three uncles who all died in their mid-60's or younger. His grandparents also died of preventable chronic diseases.
Nathaniel almost suffered the same fate. He was 100 pounds overweight and suffering from prediabetes and heart complications, before he had an epiphany following his father's passing. The former police officer wanted to follow in his father's footsteps albeit while taking a much healthier path.
Thus, the Minister of Wellness was born. He lost the 100 pounds and was reborn into a healthier body after adopting a plant-based diet.
He's now blending his faith with healthy food and helping thousands ditch what he calls the "Satanic American Diet" that had been robbing them of their health and taking years off their life.
Nathaniel joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his incredible journey back to health and why his faith stronger than ever.

Going vegan may not just improve your health. It could also improve your financial bottom line.
A study finds that eating an exclusively plant-based diet saved shoppers 16% on their grocery bill or roughly $500 per year, according to a study by Dr. Hana Kahleova.
She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" on The Exam Room Podcast with the surprising results. While shoppers obviously spent more on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, the expense was more than offset by the savings from no longer purchasing eggs, meat, and dairy which tend to be higher priced items.
If you think eating a plant-based diet is too expensive, this study shows it's time to think again.

Protein expert Dr. David Katz, who is the former president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, shares his new view on protein.

Dr. Katz shares his novel approach to protein consumption, where we’ve been going wrong, and the best and healthiest protein sources when he joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
-- Topics Discussed --
-
The truth about protein deficiency rates
-

The power of food is extraordinary. Every 33 seconds in the U.S. someone will die of cardiovascular disease, but you do not have to be a statistic.
For the first time, groundbreaking research is proving definitively that even patients who already have the disease, as well as those who are at high risk of developing it, can dramatically improve their heart health.
Dr. Neal Barnard and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss the analysis of nearly 2,000 patients and the effect that an infusion of nonanimal foods had on their cardiometabolic function.
The results point directly to the benefit of vegan and vegetarian diets to both prevent and, in many cases, reverse heart disease.
Topic Discussed
-
How these findings differ from previous heart disease research
-
Alcohol's effect on blood pressure
-
Which foods are healthiest for the heart
-
The effect of animal protein on heart function
-
And more

A compound that can impact the aging process also seems to affect the severity of hot flashes.
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are often overlooked, but should get a closer examination to slow down the aging process, reduce hot flashes, and improve overall health among women.
Dr. Hana Kahleova shares what AGEs are, what foods have the most, and how different ways of cooking can substantially increase the amount of AGEs. There can be a big difference in the levels for the same food depending on whether it is grilled, boiled, microwaved, or eaten raw.
Dr. Kahleova joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast with details and insight the foods that fight aging, reduce hot flashes, and improve your health.
Chuck also revisits a conversation with Ann Friday who once felt like a prisoner in her heavily layered police uniform when severe hot flashes would strike. Underneath layers of clothing and a thick bulletproof vest, she roasted as the sweltering heat became trapped on her body with no escape. She would lose sleep as hot flashes flared up in the middle of the night. Having tried everything, she finally found a way to cool off and calm the hot flashes by making one big change.
Ann’s story was featured in Dr. Neal Barnard’s book Your Body In Balance.

A teen in Los Angeles is suing her school, her principal, and the USDA because she’s being muzzled over milk!
School officials told Marielle Williamson that she could only talk about nondairy alternatives at her high school if she also promoted cow’s milk as well. She says that’s unfair because dairy is already heavily advertised in schools while major barriers limit access to things such as almond, oat, or soy milk even though the majority of students in her school are lactose intolerant.
Studies show that up to 80% of people of Hispanic decent are lactose intolerant and roughly 75% of students who attend public school in LA are Hispanic.
Marielle says her freedom of speech is being trampled along with the health of her classmates.
She and attorney Deborah Press join The Exam Room Podcast to sit down with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the extraordinary case.

A diabetes expert answers two important questions: What diet is best for treating diabetes? And how can you tell whether the advice about diabetes you've seen is credible?
Dr. Hana Kahleova, a member of an expert health panel that creates guidelines for all Europeans to follow, discusses the new recommendations from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
Dr. Kahleova reveals why minimally processed foods, including fruit, is optimal for regulating blood sugar while low-carbohydrate diets that are big on red and processed meat can make diabetes worse.
She also shares how you can tell whether something you've read or been told about diabetes is credible when she joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

What would happen if junk food were banned? Life expectancy is dropping and more than half the world is expected to be overweight by 2035. Many say it is time to take extreme measures to stop this unhealthy trend and the millions of cases of cancers, diabetes, and heart disease that it can lead to.
One of the options being considered is a ban on foods packed with sugar, fat and salt. In some parts of the world the ban is already in place. So what effect might it have?
The Plant Power Doc, Dr. Gemma Newman, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE to discuss the controversial idea! Surprisingly, in some cases junk food companies are supporting such measures.

Discover why this innovative approach to treating heart disease is believed to be the future of medicine. No matter how sick the patient is, Dr. Baxter Montgomery feels there is a very good chance they will be able to improve.
His confidence comes from years of treating critically ill patients as a world-renowned cardiologist in Texas. It also comes from his own experience turning his poor health around.
Dr. Montgomery shares the revolutionary treatment approach on the docuseries Heart and Soul of a Champion. The first season follows NFL legends throughout the course of their treatment, including Hall of Fame inductee Darrell Green. But the most profound case featured is that of an average joe whose heart was failing and struggling to pump at 10% efficiency. Yet, he too is on the road to recovery now when other doctors had written him off completely.
Dr. Montgomery joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about treating and preventing heart disease like never before and the groundbreaking docuseries Heart and Soul of a Champion on The Exam Room Podcast.
Dr. Montgomery will also be speaking at the Fairfax VegFest in Herndon, Va., on April 23.

Tony Schiera was more than 700 miles into a 1,000-mile-long bicycle ride from Indianapolis to Washington, D.C., with his wife Rachel when tragedy nearly struck. They clung to hope that he was just dehydrated, but that hope quickly faded when he was rushed to one of the premiere cardiac centers in the United States. Despite being exceptionally physically fit, Tony had major blockages in at least five arteries. Doctors told him that he required lifesaving quintuple bypass surgery. It proved to be a success, but it was only the first step in a new life. Although heart disease ran rampant in his family, he and his wife embarked on a mission to find out whether genetics were to blame for his brush with death. What they would learn would change both of their lives and Tony’s outlook for the future. He was no longer living on borrowed time. He was now destined to live to a ripe old age. Together they have discovered that a new way of eating doesn’t mean depriving themselves of their favorite foods. Instead, it means discovering heart-healthy recipes to continue enjoying them, including one for mac and cheese!
The Schieras join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share an unbelievable story of survival and rising from trauma to ride toward a brighter future.

Is it possible for diet changes to help someone recovering from drug or alcohol abuse? A recovering addict teamed with researchers to find out.
Adam Sud has used a plant-based diet as a key component to his continued ability to maintain sobriety for many years. He wanted to see whether it was possible to replicate the success.
He and lead researcher Tara Kemp, PhD, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about what happened when patients at a rehab facility began eating a plant-based diet as part of their recovery program.
The results of the study appear to offer hope to those struggling with drugs, alcohol, and depression.
Join Chuck and Dr. Neal Barnard for a special live recording of The Exam Room LIVE in Los Angeles on March 30. Tickets can be purchased online.

2022 was a busy year for the Physicians Committee—but we’re not resting! We’re still fighting Elon Musk’s cruel animal experiments. And we continue to reach millions of people worldwide with the benefits of a plant-based diet. But that’s just the start and we need your support to keep our extraordinary momentum going!
-- MATCH YOUR GIFT --
https://www.pcrm.org/ER
-- All donations will be matched through Dec. 31 --
Dr. Neal Barnard, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, along with our doctors, dietitians, scientists, lawyers, and other experts to celebrate the many successes you helped the Physicians Committee achieve this year—and why your continued support is critical in the new year.
As 2022 winds down, our legal battle against Elon Musk—one of the world’s richest men—is going strong. You may have seen some of the recent wall-to-wall news coverage. We’re demanding that his company Neuralink end its horrific brain experiments on monkeys. Now, he’s under investigation by federal authorities. But our fight is far from over. Find out what’s next and how you can help.
Then we’ll take a look back at our 2022 nutrition studies and get a sneak peek of our clinical research coming up in 2023. These studies add to the scientific evidence showing the benefits of a plant-based diet, attract widespread media attention, and influence the public.
Our nutrition influence continued to expand globally in 2022. One Healthy World—in English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin—was a huge success when it launched last January with thousands of registrants from 182 countries. It’s back next month with all new classes. Our Food for Life program, which just added 68 new instructors in locations including Hong Kong, Tunisia, and South Africa, reached a record 12,000 participants across the globe in 2022. And we continued our outreach in China with a 1,200-mile bike ride and a nutrition conference that reached more than 500,000 people.
You’ll also hear about our efforts to reach the next generation of physicians with lectures on plant-based nutrition at dozens of medical schools across the country this year.
Tune in to find out more about our work this year to get animals out of laboratories and off plates—and how you can help expand our work in the new year.
Chuck will also have a special shout out to everyone who helped The Exam Room podcast reach 10 million downloads in 2022!

He was given four months to live, but Jimmy Blanco refused to die.
It didn’t matter that doctors diagnosed him with an ultra-aggressive and fast-growing form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma multiforme. All that mattered was that he was a young father who wanted to be there for his children. So he set out to fight the tumor on his terms.
It was a battle fought with comprehensive nutrition research, dramatic changes to his diet and lifestyle, and unwavering faith. The fight lasted not for the four months that doctors had predicted, but for nearly 10 years.
He began writing about what he learned and chronicled his successes to share with others so that they too could find hope in their darkest hour. Years after his passing, his daughter, Jamie Blanco, finished the book her father started. She delved deeper into the nutrition research which has become more abundant than what was available to her father.
Jamie joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about her father’s journey and finishing his book, Hope for the Hopeless.

You can feel young again by making simple changes that work for you.
Howie Jacobson, PhD is co-author of Whole with T. Colin Campbell and Proteinaholic with Dr. Garth Davis. He also knows small changes can have a massive impact.
Howie felt like an old man by the time he was 35. His health was beginning to decline as his blood pressure and cholesterol climbed ever higher.
He felt like a genetic time bomb was about to explode given his family's poor health history. He feared that it could go off at any moment and his time would be up.
Tired of living with a dark cloud hanging overhead, he vowed to change what he could. And that began by overhauling his diet.
The changes not only restored his health but turned back the hands of time and continue to prevent the genetic time bomb from going off.
Howie joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspirational long and winding journey to health. Like many of us, there were plenty of stumbles along the way. But in the end he persevered. This is how.

Fact: Eating fewer AGEs will likely improve your health.
What are advanced glycation end-products (AGEs)? Dr. Hana Kahleova details the harmful inflammatory compounds, how they are created, which foods have the most, and the diseases they can cause when she joins The Exam Room Podcast and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll.
Dr. Kahleova is the lead researcher of a study examining the effects of reducing the amount of AGEs in a person’s diet. The results could be seen within just a matter of weeks.
Dr. Neal Barnard also joins the show to share more evidence that women can naturally reduce uncomfortable hot flashes by changing their diet.
The results of a second study of dozens of hot flash sufferers confirms that eating a plant-based diet that is low in fat is about as effective as hormone replace therapy. Dr. Barnard discusses the eye-opening results and why soy can be especially powerful for minimizing or even eliminating hot flashes.
He joins Chuck to review the changes women can make to find natural relief from hot flashes.

Dr. Kristi Funk, world-renowned cancer surgeon, shares four steps every woman should be taking to help shield themselves from breast cancer. Much of the discussion focuses on food, including research on the foods that have the most cancer-fighting ability.
You will also hear from Dr. Darrell Crisp who already lost his first wife to breast cancer when the hideous disease came calling for a second time.
After finding love again, his new wife, Karen, was also diagnosed with breast cancer. But together they vowed this story would have a different ending.
They had been studying lifestyle medicine after Dr. Crisp was able to overcome his own health struggles. What they learned made all the difference in Karen’s fight.
The Crisps join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share their uncanny story which they’ve chronicled in their book Banish Breast Cancer.
This is the third and final episode with Dr. Funk for the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer series in 2022.

Alison Tierney has devoted her life to helping others with cancer. Now it is her turn, and she has advice and tips for others as she battles breast cancer.
The oncology dietitian credits fasting and a plant-based diet with helping her maintain energy throughout treatment and reduce its side effects.
Alison shares her emotional journey with "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Plus, Dr. Kristi Funk puts the power to prevent breast cancer back in your hands, because this disease is more than just genetics. The greatest risk appears to come from choices that you have the power to control.
Dr. Funk details the simple everyday choices that women can make to reduce their cancer risk to just a fraction of the average person. She also unleashes the power of new research that can help guide you to make the healthiest decisions possible.
Just 13% of women with breast cancer also have a close relative diagnosed with the disease. The time to put the power in your hands is now.
This is the second of three episodes with Dr. Funk for the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer series in 2022.

Ten years after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, Diandra Fields was dealt a second blow. Doctors again told her that she had cancer, this time in her breast.
While she is still in the fight, it is one she says she is winning, and she credits her devotion to eating a plant-based diet for helping her in this battle.
Why a plant-based diet? As someone with a master’s degree in molecular biology, for Diandra, it all comes down to evidence-based science. And she knew the challenges she would face and is helping to teach the team of doctors who are overseeing her care.
She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share her journey for the first time with the hope that she can help others who are in the trenches with her. Her optimism, enthusiasm, and smarts will certainly be that beacon of hope.

Diet scores have been ranked and researchers have calculated how much healthier your own diet could be by going vegan!
The scores reveal what happened when more than 200 people stopped eating meat and dairy and began eating an exclusively plant-based diet that is low in fat. While we have known for decades that eating more fruits and vegetables is healthy, this study shows precisely how big of an impact it can have.
The study also reveals the number one predictor for weight loss, and it’s not going to the gym! There is one type of food that prevented people from shedding unwanted pounds more than any other.
Lead researcher Dr. Hana Kahleova joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the findings and how they can be used to improve your health.
Dr. Vanita Rahman then returns to The Exam Room to share details on her new program for fighting hot flashes and how much better you might feel within a matter of weeks just by changing your diet.
Plus, Chuck reports on an alarming study for milk lovers that shows a connection between poor health and dairy consumption among heart disease patients.

Learn how to manage and improve your hormone health in the healthiest way possible.
Dr. Gemma Newman shares how women can revitalize and nourish their hormones by eating a cleaner diet and living a healthier lifestyle. The "Plant Power Doctor" also discusses how women can become more aware of the signs and symptoms that their hormonal health could be in danger.
She estimates that as many as 80% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are unaware they have the disease and can be baffled by their symptoms. Likewise, many women with endometriosis are going far too long without receiving a diagnosis.
Dr. Newman discusses how a plant-based diet can help alleviate many of the painful symptoms and bring hormones back under control to help women age healthfully for years to come.
She joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Chuck also has details on world-first genetic research that examines a link between low levels of vitamin D and high levels of c-reactive proteins that are associated with inflammation and chronic illness.

It’s a double episode! Learn five nutrition tips that can help treat and prevent arthritis, cancer, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and other chronic conditions when Dr. Hana Kahleova joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Did you know that half of all adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with at least one chronic disease and one in four have two or more? Millions are dying, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Plus, Chuck chats with a funny guy who seriously doesn’t eat any meat.
Myq Kaplan joins the show to share a few humorous stories from his 20 years performing as a vegan comedian and why he began incorporating jokes about his diet into shows. For example, he masterfully points out to the “meat and potato” crowd that they’re already halfway to eating a vegan diet.
Plus, he shares how he eats clean on the road when vegan cuisine is hard to find. You’ll also learn what other comedians are vegan when Myq rattles off an impressive list of friends and other performers.
In addition to having his own specials on Comedy Central, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, Myq has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. His album Vegan Mind Meld quickly became one of iTune’s top 10 comedy album of the year.

Could sausage ever be as healthy as broccoli? This idea has caught fire through the concept of personalized nutrition. It’s the idea that your body runs better on some foods and not as well on others. In theory, this means that junk food could be healthier than fruits and vegetables in some cases.
But is that too good to be true?
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explore what personalized nutrition actually is, what it could mean for the future of medicine, and whether sausage could actually be as coveted as broccoli for your health.
Plus, they answer viewer questions from The Doctor’s Mailbag
-
Universally healthy foods
-
Eating for your blood type
-
Microbiome and mental health
Also, you’ll discover why a traditional Chinese diet may be just what the doctor ordered to lower blood pressure when Chuck reports on a promising study on hypertension.
Dr. Bulsiewicz is a two-time New York Times bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook.

A cancer survivor shares her keys to living a long and healthy life after receiving a life-changing diagnosis.
Only weeks after losing her father to cancer, Caryn Dugan received more devastating news. She too had a form of the same disease that just left an enormous void in her life.
It was the final cruel twist in a horrific year, but it would ultimately serve as a pivotal moment for her future. Caryn went from being a self-described “human garbage disposal” to a pillar of health. As she battled cancer, she wanted to understand why this was happening to her family.
She began studying more about the habits that can cause cancer and reached one undeniable conclusion. Even though genetics play a role, things did not have to be like this.
Years of unhealthy eating, including relying on what many considered to be healthy “diet foods,” likely contributed to her disease. As she learned more, she decided that no other branches would fall from the family tree before their time. The buck would stop with her.
Years later Caryn remains cancer free and has opened the nation’s first plant-based culinary education center to pass on to others what she has learned. She is teaching thousands what it takes to live long, healthy, and cancer free lives at the Center for Plant Based Living in St. Louis.

One year after life-saving heart surgery at the age of 61, Dr. Akil Taher was climbing the highest mountains in the world.
The leading cause of death in America nearly had another victim. His heart stopped, he had stents inserted to open severely clogged arteries, and ultimately needed open heart bypass surgery. Finally, after ignoring the warning signs for years, he proclaimed that he wanted to not just live, but “really live.”
The transformation that came next was nothing short of remarkable. It was a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul that eradicated more than 60 years of unhealthy habits.
Dr. Taher shares his inspirational story with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
He is proof that it is never too late for you to change.

In 1995, Dr. Saray Stancic was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Within a matter of years she was already reliant on a cane to walk and doctors told her that eventually she would be confined to a wheelchair. Frustrated by her deteriorating health and lack of options, she began doing research on her own. What she discovered was so much more than she could ever have hoped for.
By changing her diet and reintroducing exercise, her health returned in dramatic fashion. Today, she no longer needs a cane and is walking freely without assistance. She no longer requires medication and is looking forward a future without a wheelchair!
On this episode of The Exam Room™, she joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share what she learned and how it revolutionized her health! Dr. Stancic also reveals how the same diet and lifestyle changes that she made could eliminate up to 80% of all chronic disease cases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer!

She tried everything to improve crippling pain from rheumatoid arthritis. Nothing worked nearly as well as eating a vegan diet.
Ali DiGiacomo began suffering from RA at a young age. It ruined a once promising swimming career. Doctors told her that her joints resembled those of someone 50 years older than she was. As the condition grew worse she could barely do much physically let alone compete in the pool.
For the next 10 years she suffered in silence and kept her diagnosis a secret despite having surgery and being put on medication. The invisible illness was all too embarrassing, and she didn’t know how her friends would react.
By the age of 21 Ali’s condition deteriorated to a point where she could no longer walk without using a cane or even a wheelchair.
Then her fortunes would change when she began exploring whether she could improve her condition by changing her diet. After a friend suggested she try eating a plant-based diet her inflammation levels plummeted.
Today, she is social media star and advocate for RA who shares her journey in hopes of inspiring others. And the one-time swimmer who was forced to abandon the pool due to intense pain is now working as a personal trainer!
Plus, Chuck is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova who studied 44 RA sufferers who changed their diet for 16 weeks. Dr. Kahleova shares the promising results of the study. Spoiler: Most saw their symptoms significantly improve like Ali!

Pollution doesn’t just come from smog rising from the cars that are clogging up the road. Nor is it exclusively mountains of trash piled high with unnecessary plastic waste. Instead, the agricultural, forestry, and other resources it took to make your dinner possible account for as much as 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Renowned author and international speaker Dr. Joanne Kong joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the best diet to slow climate change and improve the health of the environment as well as ourselves.
The environmental impact of vegan and meat-inclusive diets is examined head-to-head. Everything from carbon footprints to water and land resources are compared, and the difference between the two diets is immense!

One out of four people will die from heart disease in the U.S. But what would happen if they were referred to a nutritionist instead of just being given a pill prescription? Cardiologists think countless lives could be saved. More than half of doctors believe a healthy diet is as good or better than any medication they could prescribe.
Dr. Monica Aggarwal has researched the effect that a healthier diet can have on preventing and reversing heart disease. She joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss her findings and how many lives could be saved with a food-first approach.
As it stands now, cardiologists send fewer than one in 10 patients to a nutritionist.

-
Is chicken a healthier option?
-
Are lean meats harmful to heart health?
-
Can chocolate increase cholesterol?

A television reporter became incredibly sick in 2015. For years she struggled to understand what was causing her symptoms. Finally, doctors diagnosed Myriam Masihy with Sjogren’s syndrome, but her troubles were far from over. The medication she began taking caused her to gain weight and lose her hair, two things that can spell the end of a career in TV, even for a multiple Emmy Award winner. Myriam thought that there had to be a better way.
Desperate and in one of the lowest points of her life, Myriam turned to a vegan diet and was stunned by the results! Her symptoms would soon disappear, and she regained her health.
She joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share her incredible story.
Myriam was so inspired by her recovery that she produced a documentary about health and nutrition for the Hispanic community, Comida Como Cura. Since then she’s heard from countless viewers who have improved their own health!

True story. Before she had millions of followers, Carleigh Bodrug struggled with her health. Her digestive issues had grown troublesome that she was taking prescription laxatives for her entire childhood.
The problems then began multiplying as the years rolled by. By the time Carleigh was in her early 20’s she was chronically fatigued and wore her poor health on her sleeve as her skin issues were now on display for the world to see.
She wasn’t the only member of her family facing challenges. Doctors had previously diagnosed her father with stage 2 colon cancer. He survived, but Carleigh remember being stunned in 2015 when red and processed meat were classified as carcinogenic. The same foods that her family had been eating years were also the reason they were sick?!
An emotional mixture of anger, confusion, and motivation led Carleigh to seek a healthier path. And when she discovered a whole-food plant-based diet, suddenly all of her health challenges disappeared. The answer had been right in front of her the whole time and it wasn’t in a pill bottle. It was in her kitchen.
She joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast™ to share her story in detail and how her life-changing epiphany planted the seed for a booming career as an authority on simple, tasty and healthy plant-based recipes! Her PlantYou Cookbook became a No. 1 best seller before it was even released!
Plus, Chuck details new research on the protective benefits a vegetarian diet offers against dementia. The study included more than 5,700 adults and shows promising results!

The idea of taking meat off the menu and opting for a plant-based diet is gaining steam in the National Football League. It was only a few years ago that numerous players on the Tennessee Titans roster explored the idea. Now, there are members of the Philadelphia Eagles who have become “veg curious” and one player who is eating fully plant-based. Sports dietitian and performance chef Brittany Dunn is tasked with fueling their bodies and minds with proper nutrition so they can excel on the field. Clearly, she’s good at her job. The team secured a coveted spot in the playoffs this past season.
She joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about working with player to optimize their nutritional needs and how veg curiosity is expanding beyond the locker room. Eagles staff members are also warming to the idea.

Why is cheese so ultra-addictive that it is called "dairy crack"?! Cheese addiction expert Dr. Neal Barnard explains the opioid-like compounds found in cheese that cause intense cravings that make people eat it day after day, 365 days a year.
He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live with tips for breaking the addiction and answer other health questions sent in by viewers to the Doctor's Mailbag.
-
Are dairy-free cheeses addictive?
-
Do all fats raise cholesterol?
-
Is extra-virgin olive oil healthier than regular olive oil?
-
Is almond milk healthier than soy milk?
-
Plus, many others.
Also, Chuck has details on a study showing that our earliest ancestors were not major meat eaters. The findings shatter the myth that human evolution, including brain development, was kicked into high gear as a result of meat being added to the diet many thousands of years ago.
This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

Stevan Mirkovich didn't lose weight by going to the gym. It was the food that helped him lose nearly 100 pounds and got the former athlete back on the road to health!
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspiring story and the diet he chose to slim down. The same diet has not only helped him keep the weight off for years, but laid the foundation for a thriving career helping thousands of people as co-owner of Planted.

None of this would have happened had it not been for a fluke knee injury that ultimately led him to change his life.

Clear up false food facts on the season finale of The Exam Room!
There is a dizzying amount of misinformation spread about plant-based diets on a daily basis. You need meat to survive. There is no way that you will get enough nutrients. Dairy is required in order to have strong bones. You won’t live as long if you just eat plants.
When you first consider going vegan it can be nearly impossible to know what to believe and who to trust. However, the confusion ends today because the truth stops here.
Dr. Matthew Nagra joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about five of the biggest “false facts” regarding what happens to your health by taking meat and dairy off the menu. Dr. Nagra is quickly becoming one of the most trusted nutrition advocates in his home country of Canada and worldwide thanks to a strong internet following.
He presents compelling and scientifically-backed arguments on the following claims:
-
You can’t get all the nutrients you need by eating a plant-based diet.
-
Vegans are more likely to have brittle and broken bones.
-
Plant sources of protein are inferior to animal proteins.
-
It is hard to get enough iron without eating meat.
-
Soy is unhealthy and causes a man’s chest to become unsightly.
To that last point, wait until you hear the unexpected food that Dr. Nagra says is one of the biggest reasons men grow breast tissue.

This is a double celebration!
First, Kristie Sullivan, MPH, joins us we take a look back at how we were able to save the lives of thousands of animals over the last year—including ending deadly live animal labs for emergency medicine training at Vanderbilt University and paramedic training at the University of Washington. We also shut down lethal dog labs for veterinary training at Tuskegee University and Auburn University. In fact, the Physicians Committee is the only national group working to end “terminal” surgery labs in veterinary schools. That is why we need your support to continue our lifesaving work for both animals and humans. All donations will be matched up to $200,000 through Dec. 31.
Also, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova who is preparing to lead a study on the effect a plant-based diet may have on people with type 1 diabetes. She shares what we know so far and how you can get involved in the research!

The shocking death of Mr. Big on the Sex and the City reboot has many wondering how someone who exercises regularly could still have a heart attack.
Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain why riding a Peloton every day may not be enough to keep you heart healthy. Could proper nutrition actually be the most important factor for keeping your heart pumping in optimal fashion?
Plus, Dr. Barnard answers viewer questions from The Doctor’s Mailbag.
-
Are “healthy fats” overhyped?
-
How much benefit is there to eating a healthy diet just 75% of the time?
-
Do homemade nut-based cheeses have as much fat as brands sold in stores?
-
And many more!
Chuck also reports on a new study comparing the mortality rates of people who eat a predominately plant-based diet and those who eat the standard American diet for some of the leading causes of death.
This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

While Dr. Asha Subramanian was helping her patients get well, she was quietly suffering through her own health struggles. She battled endometriosis from an early age, and the debilitating pain only grew worse with time. As a young doctor, the disease had grown so bad that she was told if she didn't have children in the near future she would risk never being able to get pregnant.
The issues would continue for years as traditional therapies only provided scant relief. But she discovered that she could greatly improve her condition through food and began combining a plant-based diet with modern medicine. Finally, she found relief and was thrilled to become a proud parent of a healthy daughter.
Dr. Subramanian opens up about her struggle for the first time in hopes of helping others facing the same challenges. She shares her secrets for defeating endometriosis with diet!
Chuck also revisits a conversation with Dr. Neal Barnard in an Exam Room Rewind where Dr. Barnard delves into the story of an endometriosis patient who was in the middle of a hysterectomy when doctors declared she had been miraculously cured. Was it an actual miracle or was it the change she made to her diet that caused the disease to vanish? Dr. Barnard also details how a diet that is heavy on meat and dairy, but light on fruits and vegetables, can cause hormonal issues and fuel endometriosis.

An inside look at They’re Trying to Kill Us from the creators of the groundbreaking documentary.
John Lewis and Keegan Kuhn join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the making of the film and the systemic issues that are driving health inequality in the United States.
Why are people of color more likely to die from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer if genetics aren’t the reason? Through interviews with celebrities in hip-hop, medicine, sports, entertainment, and politics, John and Keegan discovered the answer. It is perhaps the most deadly threat to society that mainstream media doesn't want to talk about.
PCRM will receive 50% of proceeds from the film through Nov. 17, 2021.

Here’s a scary fact. Only 1 out of every 1,000 meals served in restaurants qualifies as having “ideal” nutrition. Even scarier? Portion sizes at fast-food restaurants are three times larger than they were in 1950!
Could it be that our obsession with eating out is actually making us sick and die younger? It may sound extreme, but given all of the fat, salt, sugar, and sodium being served, it is fair to wonder whether what you order is taking years off of your life.
Dr. Vanita Rahman and Matthew Rees, editor of the Food and Health Facts newsletter and senior fellow at the Dartmouth Tuck School of Business, have the facts to back up that argument. They make the case that restaurants are playing an enormous role in the obesity epidemic when they join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll. From an abundance of calories to a lack of fiber, they have the true effect of restaurant food covered from all angles!
Plus, Chuck is joined by restaurateur Gregg Rozeboom, who is bucking the trend of enormous burgers and buckets of fries in favor of healthier options. Gregg is the founder of the plant-based oil-free restaurant chain Fruitive. He shares his philosophy that delicious food does not have to be detrimental to your health. Fruitive is proof that when it comes to healthy food, if you serve it, they will come.

Cravings can be so frustrating! Anyone who has ever tried to stop eating chocolate, chips, cheese, or junk food will tell you that these foods are almost impossible to give up!
Dr. Mickey Witte, a neuroscientist specializing in food addiction, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain the war between your brain and your belly. She details how the hedonic pleasure centers of your brain react the same way to high-fat food as to drugs or even sex.
The brain likes those foods, loves them, and wants more of them! And fast-food restaurants and major food companies know this. Their business model is built entirely on calculating the perfect blend of fat, salt, and sugar in all of their recipes to get you hooked. Which is why losing weight can be so hard!
This is part two of a special two-part conversation with Dr. Witte.

Dr. Kristi Funk, a board-certified breast cancer surgeon and best-selling author, shares 18 of the most effective estrogen-lowering foods when she joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ podcast.
To the delight of chocolate lovers, the list even includes cacao!

The inspiring mother and son have teamed up to launch the Fox Whole Family Foundation which benefits those whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer. Through the foundation, Lorraine and De'Aaron advocate for increased awareness, testing, and treatment for women fighting this disease.
This is the third of four special episodes dedicated to breast cancer.
Dr. Funk is helping to lead the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign with the Physicians Committee. She encourages women to take the four-week LBBC challenge to improve their health and reduce their risk for breast cancer.

Doctors told Kate McGoey-Smith she had only a few years to live. She was suffering from a rare heart condition and required an oxygen tank just to breathe. As if that weren’t enough, Kate also lost her vision and had diabetes.
But that diagnosis was made well over 10 years ago. Since then, Kate has reclaimed her health! She no longer needs supplemental oxygen, has reversed her diabetes, and has regained the ability to see!
Her recovery isn't the result of a new miracle drug. Rather, everything began turning around when she changed the way she was eating.
She explains to “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll that her new diet has given her her life back!

The research keeps pouring in from dozens of new studies showing that a vegan diet can supercharge your health!
Dr. Robert Freeman explores a mountain of data from the past year that links a diet free of meat and dairy to lower rates of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share the exciting findings, including a 37,000-person study about red meat and its potential for creating health challenges.
Among the other studies discussed:
-
Vegan vs. keto diets
-
Olive oil
-
Diet soda
-
Cinnamon and blood sugar levels
Plus, Chuck celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Food for Life program when he is joined by Jean Myers. Jean was ahead of the curve when it came to healthy eating. She adopted a vegetarian diet in 1984 and became vegan in 1997, long before the plant-based diet boom that would come nearly two decades later.
She became a pioneer for what would become an award-winning nutrition education and cooking class that teaches an innovative approach to improving diet-related chronic diseases.
Jean shares her motivation for going vegan, her experiences as an instructor, and the powerful story of one student whose health transformation was so dramatic that she will remember it for the rest of her life!

A plant-based diet can help prevent severe cases of COVID-19 and may reduce the risk of becoming infected altogether, according to two studies.
Dr. Neal Barnard explores research analyzing the diets of healthcare workers in six countries. The findings show that eating less meat and dairy and more fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of severe infection by as much as 73%. However, a low-carb keto diet appears to significantly increase the likelihood of becoming severely ill.
Dr. Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll also discuss a second study of nearly 600,000 people that not only confirms the protection against severe symptoms, but also reveals that a plant-based diet can provide protection from becoming infected at all.
Data on vaccine efficiency and safety, the delta variant, breakthrough cases, and infection trends is also discussed.

The truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth about soy!
Dr. Neal Barnard gives the whole story about the controversial bean in part 2 of the special menopause relief series. He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the truth and lies about soy. Many believe that eating soy will do anything from causing cancer to making men grow breasts. But Dr. Barnard has decades worth of data showing not only is that not true, but soy can actually lower the risk of cancer and certainly will not leave men with anything they’ll want to get off their chest.
Dr. Barnard also answers your questions about soy when Chuck opens the Doctor’s Mailbag.
Plus, they continue their look at the groundbreaking new study on the powerful effect it can have on reducing hot flashes.
Chuck also speaks with Anne Marie Pedrick who shares her own story about stopping relentless hot flashes by adopting a plant-based diet that includes soy. Like so many others who participated in the 12-week study, Anne Marie’s turnaround is unbelievable!

We are led to believe that dairy is the ultimate source for calcium, vitamin D and protein. It is essential for strong bones and without it you’d be as fragile as glass. Your health depends so much on dairy that there is a food group devoted exclusively to it.
But have we been misled?
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard and dietitian Susan Levin to review the major health claims being touted about milk! They hop on the National Dairy Council website and go over them one by one. All claims are put under the microscope! Everything from bone health to diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, immune function, gut health, and protein will get a close look.
They have the research to separate fact from milky white lies.
Plus, Chuck reports on a study that finds vegan diets are optimal for growth in children.

Sherra Aguirre is well into her senior years, but feels as fit and healthy as someone in their 30’s!
She shares her journey back to health when she joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™. Years of eating fast food every day were beginning to catch up with her. Her energy dropped while her blood pressure went sky high. Sherra’s heart health was suffering just like many of her family members before her.
But after Sherra changed her eating habits and kicked fast food to the curb, she was able to reverse her symptoms of heart disease, including an enlarged heart!
Today, the entrepreneur turned author is inspiring others struggling with their health with her book Joyful, Delicious, Vegan: Life Without Heart Disease.
Plus, Chuck reports on a study on how effective a plant-based diet can be in limiting severe symptoms of COVID-19 while those eating a high protein, low carbohydrate diet are at far greater risk.

Fact check nutrition claims on the official beef website with Dr. Neal Barnard and dietitian Lee Crosby as they join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™!
The website claims that beef is part of a heart healthy diet. What evidence is there to support the claim? What does independent research show?
The website also claims that beef is an essential food for babies. Do they need it to grow up big and strong or is red meat laying the foundation for heart disease later in life? Dr. Barnard and Lee have a mountain of research all leading to an undeniable conclusion.
Additionally, the website states that eating beef can improve cholesterol levels. How could such a claim be made when there is decades of independent research pointing in the opposite direction? The group dissects those statements to see whether they hold any merit!
And of course protein, protein, protein!

It is time to rethink the effect fruit and fat have on diabetes. Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, is living with type 1 diabetes and practices what he preaches — eating a healthy diet filled with the proper carbs and an abundance of apples, oranges, bananas, mangos and other fruit all containing natural sugar!
He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain why his fruit-heavy way of eating won’t raise blood sugar, but the standard diet that is loaded with saturated fat can wreak havoc on insulin resistance.
Cyrus also discusses:
-
White potatoes vs. sweet potatoes and blood sugar
-
How much faster blood sugar rises from drinking a smoothie than eating fruit
-
How to buck genetics and reduce the risk of diabetes when it runs in the family
-
How eating a plant-based diet can improve insulin resistance in people who have had diabetes for many years
Cyrus is co-founder of Mastering Diabetes.

Can a person be both healthy and overweight? “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster to discuss the Healthy At Every Size movement.
The concept weighs whether too much emphasis is put on a person’s weight and too little on the overall picture. As a person who lost 280 pounds, Chuck shares his opinion about that theory and how it may be perceived by those still struggling with their weight.
Dr. Yami also addresses the misconception that children can eat whatever they want without penalty. She explains the steep price that can be paid later in life for the high-fat and high-calorie foods eaten during our formative years. The seeds for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other chronic illnesses are planted early in life even if they don’t blossom until adulthood.

Eating fast food can be traumatic for the brain. In turn, the toxicity can increase the chance that you may develop Alzheimer’s disease.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain why foods loaded with fat, sugar and salt can send brain cells into a frenzy! These are the very foods that are staples of the standard American diet!

It is possible to eat 4,000 or 5,000 or even 10,000 calories a day and still be malnourished!
While the diet of an average American is filled with fat and calories it is sadly lacking the essential vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to function healthfully. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, there are four times as many people who are obese or overweight and malnourished compared to those who are underweight and battling the same malnourishment.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Andrew Freeman to discuss why a large waist size is too easily mistaken for overnutrition rather than the nutrient desert it is.
"If left untreated, malnutrition leads to serious health conditions including diabetes, hypertension and heart disease," Dr. Freeman says.
Dr. Freeman’s research is then put to the test when Chuck calculates the nutrient values of his previous high fat 10,000-calorie diet. The results are shocking!

Discover what it means to have inflammation in your body and unlock the secrets of a diet that can help to extinguish the unhealthy fire that is burning inside of you!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Monica Aggarwal and Dr. Jyothi Rao join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss inflammation and how it can trigger chronic diseases that take years off of your life.
The authors of “Body On Fire” will make you rethink what it means to have a Big Mac attack. It’s not just a craving for two artery-clogging all-beef patties, not so special sauce, lettuce, high-fat cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. A Big Mac attack is actually a highly inflammatory all-out assault on your health that fans the flames of disease.
The standard American diet is filled with foods just like the Big Mac that serve as the gasoline being poured on an unhealthy fire!
So what can you do to bring the blaze under control? Doctors Aggarwal and Rao share the anti-inflammatory foods that can help get you back on track, including specific spices! You will also learn how quality sleep and exercise can help to control inflammation and improve your health!
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard talks with Chuck about the link between COVID-19 and inflammation. Can a person reduce their risk for COVID by shifting toward a more anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle?

From near tragedy to resounding triumph. Go inside the mind of three food addicts with very different stories, but whose life-and-death battles were also very much similar in many ways.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Olympic cyclist Dotsie Bausch will recall her experience with anorexia, Baywatch star Alexandra Paul details her battle with bulimia, and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll describes the compulsion that drove him to eat 10,000 calories per day. The differences between the eating disorders seem as great as the weight that separated them. However, as the trio open up about their struggles it becomes clear that while their food addictions manifested in polarizing ways the mental battle is very much a shared struggle.
Plus, you will become inspired by their stories of recovery as Dotsie and Alexandra, who host the Switch4Good podcast, and Chuck share their paths to overcoming their disorders and the role that a plant-based diet plays in sustaining their healthy mindset. This uplifting conversation continues a discussion that originally began when Chuck was interviewed by them on their show.
Also on this episode, Dr. Neal Barnard delves into the science of food and mental health. You will learn why we are drawn to “comfort food” and the genetic predisposition that causes some people to become addicted to it.

How would you like to be remembered years from now? Your legacy can be to leave a massive impact on the world and make it a healthier place for all of its inhabitants.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Alysoun Mahoney who honored her late husband by carrying on the work they began together as advocates for a plant-based lifestyle and animal welfare. Following his sudden passing, Alysoun established the Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund.
It is thanks in no small part to the fund that countless animals are being saved, major shifts have been made on the federal level toward healthier practices, and tens of thousands of people have learned the benefits of adopting a vegan diet.
So what would you like your legacy to be? What work would you like to continue for years to come? You will learn how you can make a huge difference without millions of dollars. Your legacy — a healthy legacy — can be solidified with far less and do far more good than you can possibly imagine.
Chuck is also joined by Kim Intino, Director of Legacy Giving for the Physicians Committee, who walks us through how to simplify the process of cementing your legacy so that you can support the tireless efforts of the Physicians Committee well into the future.
Get ready to change the world.

Eric Adams woke up one morning and could not see. Fearful that he was going blind, he rushed to his doctor’s office where he was diagnosed with diabetes. He was told to accept that he would suffer from poor vision for the rest of his life. But Eric, a former New York City police officer, decided to open an investigation into his health to find a better way. He searched for evidence, combed through clues, and finally cracked the case. It was food that put him in this position and it was food that would get him out of it.
On this episode of The Exam Room, Eric Adams joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share how he became healthy at last.
After recovering his own health, he began helping others, including his mother who was in her 80’s when she began eating a plant-based diet. Like her son, the change made a dramatic improvement to her health as well! Eric is also the president of the borough of Brooklyn in New York and was instrumental in bringing plant-based meals to children by creating the Meatless Mondays program in the public school system.
He is now sharing his story nationwide with the release of his book Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses.
Also on the show, Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the top 5 co-morbidities associated with COVID-19 and how changes in diet and lifestyle can help improve and even reverse them!

Richard Hubbard once weighed 350 pounds and was gaining weight at an alarming rate. He would often order three Big Macs at a time to satisfy an insatiable appetite for fast food.
Worried that his health would soon fail, Richard’s doctor prescribed medication for high blood pressure. Not wanting to trade pills for another trip through the drive-thru, he challenged his doctor to allow him to hold off on taking the prescription. His doctor never thought he would succeed, but today Richard is more than 150 pounds lighter and healthier than ever!
Richard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ to share his remarkable journey. The pair also compare their experiences of what it was like to be morbidly obese. From the off-handed remarks from others that resulted in low self-esteem to their “last supper” with massive quantities of fast food, they share what it is truly like for those struggling to get their weight and health under control. More importantly, Richard also shares what it takes to finally make a health breakthrough and keep the weight off for good!
Plus, Dr. Vanita Rahman discusses the science of weight loss, including the way the food found on restaurant menus is engineered to contain the perfect balance of salt, sugar, and fat to get people hooked. She also covers how vegans who don’t shy away from carbs tend to weigh less than those eating a low-carb diet that promises to slim you down!
Chuck also talks about the Dairy Does A Body Bad report from Switch4Good.

Adam Sud found the will to live by overcoming a drug addiction and surviving an attempted suicide. He credits much of his strength to three things: confronting his demons, reflecting inward, and changing the way he was eating.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Adam joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share his remarkable journey back from the breaking point and the way in which nutrition played a key role in his recovery.
He is now leading the INFINITE Study which examines the effects of a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet on physical and mental health as well as resilience in addiction recovery. In essence, can a healthy diet increase the likelihood that someone will achieve long-term sobriety?
Adam’s own experience offers hope that sobriety and health can be very much intertwined.
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard offers advice to a listener who wants to go vegan, but whose spouse is not being supportive of the change. He offers the tools that can keep their relationship as healthy as a plant-based diet.

Improving your diet isn’t just about changing the food you eat. A big part of it is also changing the way you cook!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Chef Lauren Kretzer joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to help us unlearn unhealthy cooking habits. For many of us, that means rethinking the way we’ve been doing things in the kitchen since we were a kid. It could be not reaching for oil or butter every time you put food in a pan. Or maybe is shaking on salt before ever tasting the food. Whatever it may be, it’s time to unlearn those unhealthy habits and become masters in a new healthier way of cooking!
Lauren shares five tips to help get you started!
Plus, Dr. Vanita Rahman and dietitian Lee Crosby, aka The Fiber Queen, team up to answer questions from The Doctor’s Mailbag.
- What are good sources of vitamin E other than nuts and seeds?
- Why is it hard to lose those stubborn last five pounds?
- How much does gut bacteria weigh?
- What is the best way to repopulate the gut with good bacteria after taking antibiotics?
- Should women trying to become pregnant take prenatal vitamins?
- And many more!

He was sitting in class and it struck him: why isn’t the professor talking about preventing diseases instead of just treating them with pills? Muzammil Ahmad knew about the health benefits of a plant-based diet and how powerful of a role they can play in preventing the very same chronic diseases that were being discussed.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Muzammil joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about taking matters into his own hands to teach the teachers! He worked tirelessly to add preventative medicine to the curriculum. And wouldn’t you know his efforts paid off! He got the administration to listen to science. Now the future of nutrition in medicine is bright at his school and even brighter for the thousands who will eventually become patients of these doctors-to-be!
Also, Dr. Vanita Rahman joins the show to talk about an alarming drop in the fitness of children. Less than half of adolescents are now aerobically fit. Dr. Rahman offers insight on how we can reverse this unhealthy trend! She and Chuck talk about how food can both cause and prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic diseases even before these kids become adults.
Plus, she’ll answer your questions as we open the Doctor’s Mailbag.
-
What are the top healthy choices for vegan fast food? Are there even any?
-
Do the same genes that increase breast cancer risk for women also increase the risk of ovarian cancer?

Is it possible for someone who eats a healthy vegan diet to become infected with the coronavirus? As much as you may wish to say no, the fact is that no diet can offer immunity to COVID-19. However, a healthy diet may still make a huge difference in the outcome of the case.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Eric O’Grey joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share his experience with COVID-19. At one point Eric weighed 340 pounds and was on 15 different medications. Doctors even told him that he would die if he didn’t change his ways. He began eating a vegan diet and with the help of a loving dog, Peety, whom he adopted from a local shelter, began to lose weight and reclaim his health. He says that going vegan saved his life once. Now, after getting COVID-19 he thinks it may have saved it for a second time.
Eric also speaks about mother-in-law who didn’t begin eating a plant-based diet until she was 96 and in poor health. Within weeks of making the change doctors took Josephine off of all her medication and she began walking 2 to 3 miles every day! She is proof that it is never too late to get healthy!
Also on the show, Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Loomis answer your questions!
- Is it healthy to eat oatmeal for breakfast every day?
- Will pureeing beans reduce the amount of fiber they have?
- Is it better to eat nuts raw or roasted?
- Tips for someone with osteoporosis who is going vegan?
- Many more

Millions are living with the painful symptoms of Crohn’s disease, but they may find relief by eating a vegan diet.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Alan Desmond talks about the global surge of Crohn’s disease that occurred as more and more people began eating the high-fat, high-calorie, and highly processed standard Western diet. Moreover, he and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss the way in which a plant-based diet can reverse the unhealthy trend and possibly even the diagnosis of Crohn’s! Dr. Desmond also delves into the science behind how a high-fiber diet creates a healthy environment in the gut and shares some successful cases of patients with Crohn’s who have seen dramatic improvements.
Chuck also examines how COVID-19 can affect the heart when he is joined by Dr. Columbus Batiste. The pair discuss new studies showing the ways in which the virus can cause inflammation of the heart muscle and lining as well as the possibility that the damage will be permanent.
Plus, Dr. Batiste talks about The Slave Food Project, which explores the “weaponization of food in the creation of health disparities in African American communities irrespective of income.”
Dr. Desmond will be speaking at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.

Dr. Kim Williams takes a new look at the racial disparities of the coronavirus as he joins The Exam Room™ podcast. If the playing field were equal, African Americans would essentially be at no higher risk of COVID-19, according to Williams. However, as it stands now, Blacks are dying at a rate nearly 2.5 times greater than Asians and Whites and at even higher levels in some areas. What then is causing the staggering differences?
Dr. Williams, chief of cardiology at Rush University and former president of the American College of Cardiology, examines those factors, including systemic racism, as he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll.
He also discusses research that finds once data models have been adjusted to account for obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, race does not play a significant factor in the risk of COVID-19 related deaths or severity of cases. Additionally, Dr. Williams and Chuck talk about the role diet can play in mitigating those risks and how those with limited means can adopt a plant-based diet. Thus, their chances of developing severe symptoms of COVID-19 would decrease.
Plus, Chuck is joined by Laura Sainz who shares her remarkable journey back to health. Laura was thriving professionally in the corporate world, but also living in constant pain after developing Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis and other chronic conditions prior to the age of 25. Tired of living an unhealthy life, she began to explore her health but it wasn’t until she adopted a fully vegan diet that her pain dissipated. She details the moment the unhealthy dark clouds she had been living under finally lifted and she was able to live vegan vibrantly. Today, she’s helping others on their journey back to health!

What you eat can have a major consequence on the environment. How does the carbon footprint of foods from a plant-based diet compare to those found in the standard American diet? The differences can be massive!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Martin Heller to explore the connection between greenhouse gas emissions and food. It’s not just the health of the environment that is at stake, It’s also your health! Dr. Heller explains how eating a diet that produces the most amount of greenhouse gases can substantially increase your risk of dying from heart disease and cancer!
Plus, he and Chuck examine Burger King’s new “Reduced Methane Emissions Beef” Whopper to see if the restaurant’s claims that lemongrass-fed cows truly reduce “methane emissions” — a fancy term for flatulence and belches — by 33%.
Also, Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Loomis answer your health and nutrition questions!
- Does high cholesterol matter if the bad cholesterol levels are low?
- What should vegans know about vitamins A and D?
- Can cheese be a carrier for COVID-19?

The coronavirus pandemic is once again shining a light on the effects of systemic racism on health.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, we delve into some of the unfair health disadvantages faced by Black and Indigenous people and people of color—along with the medical community’s role in addressing these health disparities.
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by medical student Brooklynne Palmer, a rising figure in the health community and social media star, to discuss how and why to take race, culture, and income into consideration when talking with patients about their health. Brooklynne describes how understanding patients’ cultures and keeping an open mind about patients’ individual stories and circumstances will help doctors best serve all of their patients.
Brooklynne also shares her own personal story: why she decided to become a doctor and why she plans to incorporate plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine into her future practice!
Plus, Neal Barnard, MD, checks in to discuss new information on the ability of the coronavirus to spread so rapidly, how long it can linger in the air, and how contagious a person is once they become infected.

The life expectancy for vegans is up to 10 years longer than those who eat the standard American diet.
Dr. Hana Kahleova joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss her new paper on plant-based diets and healthy aging. Her research shows that eliminating meat and dairy from the diet is capable of more than just extending your life, it can add quality years to it. She says that the Fountain of Youth can be as close as your kitchen!
Dr. Neal Barnard also joins the show to discuss the newest government funded artery clogging creation at Taco Bell, the Grilled Cheese Burrito. While it may sound strange that the government is responsible for what’s on a fast food menu, he and Chuck delve into Dairy Management Inc. which is a federally funded agency that employs an army of food scientists whose sole mission is to create items specifically crafted to get you to eat more cheese. You may think that’s way out in left field until you see the documents backing up the claims.
Also on the show, Dr. Jia Xu checks in from Beijing to provide an update on the coronavirus pandemic in China where it all began. He says in some ways life is returning to normal. In other ways, however, they will never be the same. In the case of eating habits that’s a good thing as Dr. Xu explains how thousands are now adopting a plant-based diet to improve their health!

Do you need to take a multivitamin or supplement or can you get all the vitamins and nutrients you need from food? That is a question that millions are wondering and also something that vitamin companies are counting on. The global supplement industry is worth more than $120 billion as people turn to the vitamin aisle rather than the produce aisle.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to settle the great vitamin debate. You will learn how to eat a healthy diet to ensure your body gets nearly everything it needs from the food on your plate and the vitamins you should still be stocking up on even when eating a plant-based diet.
Dr. Barnard also discusses whether the coronavirus can be found on the meat and fish being sold in your local grocery store! Multiple studies have shown people are going home with a lot more than they bargained for.
Plus, Olympian Dotsie Bausch returns to the show! She and Chuck discuss the growing number of elite athletes who are ditching dairy and making the Switch 4 Good! As certain as she is that she has a medal to her name, Dotsie is equally certain that talk of dairy being essential for strong bones is a bunch of hot air. Simply put, milk does a body bad!

Do milk and dairy belong in the same category as tobacco and processed meat?
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, health benefits of dairy are debated as renowned epidemiologist Dr. Gary Fraser joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll. Does cheese or a glass of milk increase the risk for cancer and chronic disease or are they the cornerstones of a healthy diet? Some of the research being discussed may be counter to what many who subscribe to a plant-based diet believe.
Dr. Fraser served as the director of the Adventist health studies at Loma Linda for 32 years and was heavily involved in the Adventist Health Study-1 as well as the development of the Adventist Health Study-2.
Chuck also explores other research that shows dairy can be more nefarious when it comes to your health as he revisits a conversation with oncology nutritionist Alison Tierney. She strongly recommends eliminating dairy as eating a whole food plant-based diet has been shown to be one of the best preventative measures for cancer and other chronic diseases. Alison, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, discusses the link between dairy fat and estrogen as well as the production of other potentially cancer-causing hormones such as 5alpha-P and IGF-1.
Dr. Fraser will be a featured speaker at the upcoming International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.

What happens when identical twins eat two completely different diets? Hugo and Ross Turner wanted to know. For 12 weeks one of them went vegan while the other continued eating meat and dairy. What happened during that time was amazing!
They join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about how their experiences differed. One lost more weight, one gained more energy, one lowered their cholesterol, and that's just the start!
The Turner Twins' story has captured the world and now they're sharing it on The Exam Room™.
Also on the show, Dr. Jasmol Sardana, aka Dr. Jazz, returns to answer your questions as Chuck opens the Doctor's Mailbag.
Among the questions answered:
-
What plant-based foods should diabetics avoid?
-
How can an elderly person improve their immune system?
-
How low is too low for A1C levels on a vegan diet?
-
How much fiber is lost when blending whole fruits and vegetables in a smoothie?
SPOILER: If you don't want to know how the Turner Twins’ vegan diet experiment turned out, stop reading until you've listened to the show.
* Ross (Omnivorous Diet) *
CHOLESTEROL
Before: 6.5
After: 6.5
WEIGHT
Before: 187 lbs
After: 191 lbs
MUSCLE MASS

An estimated 1 out of 7 adults in the U.S. have chronic kidney disease. And 9 out of 10 have no idea that they do.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Shivam Joshi joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about combating kidney disease with diet! While many with CKD are advised not to eat fruits and vegetables, Dr. Joshi explains why he prescribes a vegan diet for many of his patients and how an abundance of plant-based foods can improve their health!
Chuck and Dr. Joshi also weigh in on the effect the keto diet can have on the kidneys as well as claims by actor Liam Hemsworth that eating a plant-based diet caused him to develop a kidney stone.
Dr. Joshi will be a featured speaker at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
Plus, future doctor and current social media star Brooklyne (aka @BeetsByBrooke) joins the show to discuss learning culinary medicine in medical school! Indeed, this soon-to-be doctor is learning about preventative medicine before her career even begins! She and Chuck also talk about the current COVID-19 pandemic, the immense interest of medical students in studying the connection between food and chronic diseases, the promising direction of medicine in the future, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Now more than ever we should be eating as if the world depended on it, because it does.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. David Katz, a preventative medicine specialist and author of How To Eat, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to weigh the magnitude of our food choices on everything from the environment to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Katz also shares his opinion on how differently the global pandemic would be playing out if doctors focused more on food and lifestyle rather than just treating the symptoms of chronic conditions. He and Chuck then discuss his time working in an overflowing New York City hospital during the height of the pandemic.
Dr. Katz will be a featured speaker at the upcoming International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard talks about how your blood type can impact your risk of COVID-19. Should you change your eating habits if your blood is Type A rather than Type O?
Also, Dr. Jim Loomis teams up with Dr. Barnard to answer your health and nutrition questions!

What can going vegan for 15 days do for your health? Amazing things!
Dr. Ted Barnett, also known as “Dr. Veggie,” joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ podcast to talk about the dramatic improvements he’s seen in patients after little more than two weeks. Following a lifetime of high cholesterol, Dr. Barnett says his patients experience a 50-point drop on average. Others who have struggled with their weight will see the scale finally head in the right direction and keep on going! Others with diabetes can also see dramatic improvements with their blood sugar, and that’s just the start.
The high-tech doctor with low-tech solutions also shares some of the biggest successes he’s witnessed among those who have taken part in his 15-day whole food plant-based jumpstart at the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute. He will be speaking at the upcoming International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
Chuck is also joined by Josh LaJaunie who once weighed 420 pounds before devoting himself to a more healthy lifestyle. The result? He wound up on the cover of Runner’s World magazine! Josh shares his secrets to transforming into a seasoned marathon runner and also how he’s inspired his family to follow in his footsteps. Collectively, they have now lost a half-ton!
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard pops the top on the myth of diet soda and weight loss!

The Ignoffo family lost 250 pounds together after they began eating a vegan diet!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Stefanie Ignoffo joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about their unbelievable plant-powered transformation. At one point in her life, Stefanie could barely climb a flight of stairs and thought she would need a walker just to get around the family’s home. Today, she can’t wait to hop on her bike and pedal for miles with her husband and three children who have also experienced remarkable health turnarounds.
Stefanie has parlayed her love of plants and newfound health into a career helping others through her non-profit, Plantspiration. She is also a certified Food For Life instructor.
Dr. Vanita Rahman also joins the show to discuss food addiction and answer listener questions about weight loss!

A report that may reshape nutrition advice given to millions of Americans will soon be discussed in Washington. It is the groundwork for the updated USDA Dietary Guidelines that are set to be released early next year. And one thing is clear — research shows the guidelines should call for less meat and more plants!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by dietitian Susan Levin to explore the recommendations that everyone eating a plant-based diet should be hoping for! They also look at the confusion surrounding some of the current guidelines and how they can be improved.
The update currently being crafted by the USDA comes on the heels of the American Cancer Society’s new nutrition guidance which does not include red or processed meat, both of which have been tied to many forms of cancer. Likewise, Canada has deemphasized dairy in its latest nutrition guidelines because of cancer concerns. Will the US be the next country to take a healthy step toward a plant-based way of eating?
Also on the show, Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Loomis open up the Doctor’s Mailbag to answer your questions!
- Are canned beans as healthy as dried beans?
- Which is unhealthier: white meat or dark meat?
- What would happen if all meat markets were to close?
- And many others!

Two of the biggest names in nutrition join forces to answer your questions!
Doctors Neal Barnard and Michael Greger join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to answer questions ranging from vitamin D and the immune system to the nutritional values of white and brown rice. They also offer their thoughts on whether vegans should get tested regularly for nutrient levels.
Dr. Greger also talks about his new book “How To Survive A Pandemic” and ponders what would happen if all meat markets worldwide were to close. He also reveals what many health experts worry will become the next major pandemic, one far deadlier than COVID-19.
Plus, the powerful story of Kathleen Gage is told as she joins Chuck for a moving interview. Kathleen overcame substance abuse, obesity, an abusive relationship, and denial of her true identity to become a success in the business world. She is now becoming an inspiration in the health community after adopting a plant-based diet and running her first marathon after the age of 60!
Special thanks to Vegan Liftz for ranking The Exam Room among their top plant-based podcasts!

Many of us are fearful that if a disease runs in the family we will get it and there is nothing that we can do. It’s as if our fate is already sealed.
However, on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Jill Erickson and her husband Joel whose stories are proof that doesn’t have to be the case. Colon cancer runs deeply in Jill’s family — her mom, aunt, and cousin all had it. When it hit particularly close to home she turned to her husband, Joel, and said that she knew that she would die from it as well and that it was only a matter of time.
Then something happened one Sunday afternoon. Armed with a big bowl of snacks and the tv remote, she sat down on the couch expecting to burn brain cells and get a few hours closer to an inescapable diagnosis. Instead, she stumbled across a certain documentary on Netflix and began learning about the benefits of a plant-based diet. Suddenly, she realized that her family history of cancer did not have to be her destiny.
The importance of nutrition became even more paramount when Joel suffered a “widow maker” heart attack. That is when they pledged to take their plant-based lifestyle to a new level and have never looked back. They are now even teaching cooking classes and passing along what she has learned through their company Rooted Green Wellness and the Food For Life program.
This is a story of love, triumph, health, and revelations.
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard answers a question from someone new to eating a vegan diet. They are worried that they won’t be able to get the same nutrients found in one particular non-plant-based food without abandoning their newly adopted way of eating. Can they still reap the benefits and keep it plant-based? Dr. Barnard has the answer!

Could eating the diet of generations ago be the key to a healthier future?
Nurse and certified Food For Life instructor Deitra Dennis, RN, CHC, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ podcast to discuss the way that the plant-based foods featured on the African Heritage Power Plate can help people connect with their roots and creativity while living healthier lives.
The rates of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions remain high among African Americans while life expectancies are lower. However, Deitra’s goal is to have members of the black community experience how returning to traditional foodways of their heritage can result in improved health.
The inspiring conversation continues a broader discussion on the inequities and injustices facing the African American community. As Deitra says, she is a solutions person and is bringing plenty of ideas to the table to overcome some of the challenges facing the community.
A healthier diet is not the only solution, but it can be one step toward improved health.

Dr. Neal Barnard opens the episode by sharing his thoughts on the scourge of racism in the United States.
As an organization, we felt it would be inappropriate to ignore our communities, friends and neighbors at a time when they are hurting so desperately.
As such, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll revisits conversations with two leaders who explore the disparities facing African Americans, including a widening gap of health. Author Tracye McQuirter details the nutritional challenges facing the community that correlate to a socio-economic divide. Tracye also highlights the rich history of African Americans and plant-based diets and the 10,000 Black Vegan Women initiative..
Then, at a time when black Americans are being diagnosed with chronic health conditions at alarming rates higher than other races, Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams is defying the odds to chart his own course for a healthier life. Eric was beginning to lose his vision and experiencing nerve damage when he was diagnosed with diabetes.
Despite the grim circumstances, he would not accept failing health and an early grave as his fate. Instead, he overhauled his diet and lifestyle to reverse his diabetes. Today, he is inspiring thousands to follow of others who feel trapped to follow in his footsteps and live the healthier life they’ve always imagined.
He recounts his incredible journey during an unforgettable conversation with Chuck!

Gabriel Miller dreamed of running onto the field Sunday afternoons in the fall as a player in the NFL. It seemed as though that dream was on the verge of coming true until a freak injury cut short his college football career.
With one goal snatched away the 19-year-old set a new goal for himself, to be able to walk without the use of a walker. He was facing a lifetime of surgeries and debilitating pain unless he lost a significant amount of weight. There was only one problem. After gorging on the standard American diet for years (and then some) as a football player, he really had no clue how to do it.
Then he had an epiphany. It was one word, really. Plants.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Gabriel joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share what led him down that healthier path that didn't include countless medical procedures and unrelenting pain.
Although he may not have achieved riches in the NFL, he has found abundant prosperity by sharing his story and helping others overcome their own health obstacles. This is one remarkable conversation.
Plus, Dr. Jasmol Sardana joins the show as Chuck opens up the Doctor's Mailbag to answer your health and nutrition questions.
-
Is it better to get too much sodium or too little?
-
Is orange juice actually healthy?
-
Are agave and maple syrup healthier than sugar?
-
Are there foods people with eczema should avoid?
-
What can be used for salad dressing that is low fat and vegan?

Every 40 seconds someone in America will have a stroke. That adds up to 800,000 people every year. And of those, 140,000 will die. With those numbers, it’s no surprise that strokes rank among the top five leading causes of death in the U.S.
But how many lives could be saved with diet and lifestyle changes? More than you would think!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Vanita Rahman joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss how steering clear of the high fat standard American diet can significantly improve your chances of never having a stroke.
Also, Chuck is joined by a very special stroke survivor who shares how a trip to the gym eight years ago turned into a stay in the hospital and lengthy recovery. Julie Wright is a well known television personality in the Washington, DC area who was in the middle of training for an upcoming race when the stroke hit out of nowhere. She also happens to be Chuck’s wife.
The incident turned her life upside down for months and forced her to closely examine what she was eating. However, she says food was never discussed by her doctors and it wasn’t until she began searching for healthier options on her own that she made the connection.
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard offers his advice to an Exam Room listener who recently adopted a plant-based diet and wanted some ideas about losing weight besides avoiding high fat nuts and seeds.
If you would like to submit a question for the doctor please tweet @ChuckCarrollWLC or @PCRM using the hashtag #ExamRoomPodcast.
This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s love for animals by promoting plant-based health and working to end animal abuse.

Nine years ago Bruce Mylrea was diagnosed with prostate cancer. On that day he became a student of health and discovered the enormous role that food can play both in making us well and making us sick. From his studies, an epic road trip with his loving wife Mindy was born! Today, the pair travel the country in an enormous RV covered in fruits and vegetables sharing the knowledge they’ve acquired with all who will listen.
Bruce and Mindy join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to give an update on Bruce’s health.
Mindy also dishes on her new book, The Plant Powered Penis, which was inspired by the couple’s own experience after doctors told Bruce that he wouldn’t be able to perform in the bedroom very well following his cancer treatment. While many others struggled, Bruce and Mindy never really left the honeymoon phase and are still like a couple of newlyweds! Her book centers on her research on how a plant-based diet can improve male performance.
Also, Chuck revisits a conversation with Dr. Steve Neabore about the science of erectile dysfunction which plagues 40% of all men over 40, according to some estimates! What foods can help with erectile dysfunction? Dr. Neabore has the answer!

Your healthy heart comes into focus as Dr. Joel Kahn joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™.
The pair explore everything from helping protect your heart during the coronavirus pandemic using nutrition to the role Lipoprotein(a), which Dr. Kahn refers to as the heart’s quiet killer.
Chuck also chats with former Seattle area firefighter Cindy Thompson who shed an amazing 60 pounds after adopting a plant-based diet and has kept it off for 10 years! But losing weight wasn’t her only motivation for change. There was something far more powerful driving the cheese addict to give up meat and dairy.
The one thing she wasn’t expecting on her journey? For her entire firehouse to take the plant-based plunge with her!
Today, Cindy is still changing lives as a Food For Life instructor and teaching the online course Cooking to Combat COVID-19.

What is the connection between gut bacteria and COVID-19?
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by gut health expert Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to find out. The trillions of cells in the gut play a huge role in our day-to-day health and during the pandemic they may take on even greater importance. Take a deep dive into what we know with The Gut Health MD, author of the new book Fiber Fueled.
Plus, could there be a shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables like what is happening with meat? Shortages of pork, beef, and chicken are sweeping through grocery stores across the country due to COVID-19 outbreaks at processing plants. To see if the same could happen with produce, Chuck is joined by Dale Moore of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Join them as they go down on the farm to check on how the crops are doing!
If you are interested in contacting Dale to see if you can help connect a farmer with someone in need please email him at dalem@fb.org.

Have we known the roadmap to treat the COVID-19 virus all along? Dr. T. Colin Campbell joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss how his groundbreaking research for The China Study decades ago may have provided a key to a better prognosis for today’s coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Campbell is confident that there is enough evidence to make a strong hypothesis about the steps people should be taking to combat the virus.
And is it a coincidence that the United States has more total cases of COVID-19 than any other country in the world while also staking claim to one of the highest obesity rates? Dr. Campbell and Chuck also ponder how the standard American diet might be fueling the pandemic in the U.S.
Plus, filmmaker Nelson Campbell, founder of Plant Pure Nation, follows his father on the show to discuss the efforts he and his team are making to help during the pandemic, including a global program designed to encourage people to change their diet. His goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge worldwide to help people grow into healthier lives.
“The diet that will prevent and reverse chronic disease, it stands to reason that it would also help with infectious disease. Health is health is health no matter what you’re talking about with respect to your body,” Nelson Campbell said.

Dr. Neal Barnard is back on The Exam Room™ podcast to answer your coronavirus questions. He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and Dr. Jasmol Sardana for the latest in the Q&A series dedicated to keeping you and your family healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. On this episode, the group tackles everything from the temperature food needs to reach during cooking in order to kill the virus to washing techniques for conventional produce compared to organic to whether there is any data available on how people eating a plant-based diet fare in combatting the coronavirus.
Among the other questions answered
-
How much protein does a person need if they’re infected with COVID-19?
-
Is it possible to have two viruses in the body at the same time?
-
Does microwaving food kill the coronavirus?
-
Does vinegar destroy COVID-19?
We will also hear from Dr. Jia Xu who is stationed in Beijing, China. Dr. Xu provides an update on how life is progressing as mandatory lockdowns are lifted.

Could food be keeping you awake at night? We already know that what we eat affects everything from our weight to our ability to fight viruses, but we’re now learning that it also plays a big role in how much sleep we get at night.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to explore how a healthy diet could be the difference between a good night’s rest or tossing and turning all night. The pair also discuss the foods that are most likely to interrupt your beauty sleep and those that will keep you dreaming all night long.
Given the enormous role sleep plays in immune function, it is more important than ever to make sure we’re getting a full eight hours!
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard answers a listener’s question about how long the coronavirus can live on fresh fruit and vegetables. He also offers tips on the best way to wash produce to keep the virus from spreading in the kitchen.
Chuck then revisits a segment with dietitian Lee Crosby about the side effects of keto diet that might make you think twice about rolling out the red carpet for fat while kicking carbs to the curb.

The key to developing a successful coronavirus vaccine likely lies in those who have already survived the virus. That is the opinion of Dr. John Pippin who joins , “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ podcast to talk about fast-tracked efforts to develop a vaccine without testing on animals.
Dr. Pippin explains how bypassing usually mandatory animal testing may lead to a viable vaccine becoming available years sooner than it otherwise would be. Moving directly to human trials would also save countless animal lives and save developers millions of dollars in expenses. Potentially those savings would lead to lower costs for the medication.
With such promise, could the future of all drug testing become animal free? That is what Chuck and Dr. Pippin will explore.
Plus, in this time when we’re all hyperaware of our health we revisit an age-old question: can an apple a day actually keep the doctor away? Dietitian Susan Levin joins the show to dish on all the fantastic health benefits the popular fruit has to offer!

Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Hana Kahleova are back with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to answer your questions about the coronavirus on The Exam Room™ podcast.
Plus, Dr. Kahleova presents research that dates back to the deadly 1918 pandemic caused by the H1N1 virus. One-third of the entire world’s population is believed to have been infected and it is estimated that 50 million people lost their lives. However, out of the dark time came promising findings that could have major implications for the current COVID-19 outbreak.
A century’s old newspaper headline regarding the findings reads “120 exposed. 90 patients. No deaths. None very sick.” Dr. Kahleova will share the details of the promising research that focused on nutrition, sleep, and hydrotherapy.
Dr. Barnard and Chuck also discuss unconfirmed reports that the exotic animal markets in China where the COVID-19 virus is believed to have originated are already reopening after being shut down when the outbreak first began.
And Dr. Barnard estimates when the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to peak throughout U.S. More importantly, he and Chuck outline how dramatically a person's health can improve by changing their diet before the peak hits their town.

The COVID-19 pandemic is turning life upside down. As hundreds of thousands fall ill, billions of others are now stricken with fear and wondering whether they will be next to become infected. As life grinds to a halt worldwide the entire situation is surreal.
Did it have to be this way?
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard and Wendy Orent, author of Plague: The Mysterious Past and Terrifying Future of the World’s Most Dangerous Disease and Bio Warrior to explore the missteps that may have prevented the pandemic.
The group discusses the exotic meat markets in China that are believed to be ground zero for the virus. The conditions under which the live animals are kept have turned the markets into breeding grounds for virus transmission.
More alarmingly, Chuck and Wendy delve into the restrictions imposed on the markets following the SARS outbreak nearly 20 years ago and how they likely would have prevented this pandemic from happening. Why were those restrictions lifted? She first wrote about this in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times and now takes a deeper look on The Exam Room™.
Dr. Barnard then takes the conversation further to explore how poultry farms and meat plants are rife with bacteria that puts all of our health at risk — even vegans.

Your health and nutrition questions are answered! On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll welcomes Dr. Vanita Rahman back to the show to open the doctor’s mailbag!
Among the questions answered:
- How much can just one meal affect your cholesterol levels?
- What is the best time of day to eat fruit?
- Can a plant-based diet help a person diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders?
- What is the best form of B12 to take and how much should we be taking?
- Are you eating enough calories on a low-fat whole-food plant-based diet?
Plus, Chuck is joined by Mark Kennedy, Vice President of Legal Affairs for the Physicians Committee to answer another important question. If processed meat such as bacon and hot dogs is classified by the World Health Organization as class 1 carcinogens, why isn’t it listed on the state of California’s list of known carcinogens? By law, the state is required to maintain “a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”
Mark is here to talk about a lawsuit filed against the state that would force it to add processed meats to that list!
Book an appointment to visit Dr. Rahman at the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC.
Join Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard and more than a dozen other nutrition experts for the Plant-Based Immersion on May 8-9 at the Grand Hyatt Washington. RSVP today!

Food can play a significant role in determining whether or not a woman will get breast cancer.
It is estimated that more than 250,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with it this year, but on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard who will teach you what you need to know to greatly reduce the risk of being one of them. Dr. Barnard will share the science of food, hormones and breast health from his book Your Body In Balance.
You will learn how fat, meat, dairy and other factors can increase the chances of developing breast cancer and the best diet and foods to lower the risk. Plus, you will learn why a woman is more likely to be diagnosed as she gets older and what can be done to improve the odds the diagnosis never comes.
Plus, dietician Lee Crosby shares the breast cancer scare she had at a young age. When doctors first found a lump in her breast she adopted a far healthier diet. For months the mass showed no signs of growth. However, when she returned to eating the standard American diet the next test revealed that the lump had doubled in size.
She and Dr. Barnard share what caused that to happen!

One of the treatments for diabetes is food. It is possible to reverse and eliminate diabetes by changing your diet.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro, authors of the new book, Mastering Diabetes.
The pair answer your questions in a wide-ranging discussion about the disease that affects millions of people. One out of every 10 people in the U.S. have diabetes while a staggering one out of three are prediabetic. The burden this places on the healthcare system is enormous with a whopping $327 billion dollars spent in 2017. And that number is expected to skyrocket to $500 billion over the next decade.
According to Khambatta and Barbaro, many of those cases are completely preventable and reversable by the adoption of a plant-based diet. That is what they’re on the show to discuss with Chuck!
Among the questions answered:
-
At what point do you start reducing insulin if you are a type 2 diabetic on a whole-food plant-based diet?
-
Is it possible to have a normal A1C , but still have diabetes?
-
When your culture is all about partying and bad food is everywhere, how can you make good decisions?
-
Can steroids such as Prednisone cause diabetes?
-
How does diabetes affect Alzheimer’s disease?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility among women. Many of the up to five million women living with PCOS in the United States face the difficult question, “will I ever be able to get pregnant?”
On this episode of The Exam Room podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll explores the best diet and foods for women with PCOS as he’s joined by Dr. Neal Barnard. Dr. Barnard shares the nutrition science behind food and the hormones associated with the condition. Plus, he discusses how making changes to the diet can help the condition and improve the chances of a woman becoming pregnant.
Plus, Chuck is joined by Alison Tierney who overcame PCOS by making two big changes to her diet that are almost unheard of in her native Wisconsin. The woman from the land of cheese stopped eating meat and dairy!
She and her husband had been trying in vain to have a child, but were having no success. It wasn’t long after ditching cheese and meat that Alison found out she was expecting their first child!
Chuck also welcomes “The Happy Herbivore” Lindsay Nixon back to the show for another delicious recipe from the Your Body In Balance book — Moroccan pizza!

More than half of all African-American women are obese, according to the CDC. And the solution to stop the unhealthy epidemic is a plant-based diet, according to “The Ageless Vegan” Tracye McQuirter.
The public health nutritionist joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss her efforts to inspire the community to get healthy through the 10,000 Black Vegan Women campaign which helps women modify their eating habits.
The pair also discuss social injustices of food in underprivileged communities and why there can be significant disparities in life expectancy even among people who live only blocks apart.
Chuck is then joined by Washington Post columnist, Courtland Milloy, who shares his remarkable story of change.
For his entire life he swore off broccoli. He hated it. Couldn’t stand it. Wanted nothing to do with it. His disdain was so great that he even dedicated ink to it in his column.
The problem for Courtland was that the ex-communication of cruciferous vegetables — and many others — was taking a toll on his health. At one time he could barely lift his leg into the car and walked as though he was nearing his 80th birthday. In reality, that particular milestone was still decades away.
Fast forward to today, where Courtland has adopted a plant-based diet and people half his age are having trouble keeping up! He’s chronicled his journey to health in his column and now he’s sharing it on The Exam Room along with his health Sherpa, Gwyn Whittaker!

It is possible to find relief for hot flashes and menstrual cramps by making simple changes to your diet.
On this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, two women who were pushed to the limit share how they were able to overcome severe hot flashes and unbearable menstrual cramping with food. Plus, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard who explains why certain foods can trigger these conditions and how the hormones that cause them can be tamed at the dinner table.
Ann Friday felt like a prisoner in her heavily layered police uniform when hot flashes would strike. Underneath layers of clothing and a thick bullet proof vest she roasted as the sweltering heat became trapped on her body with no way of escape. She would lose sleep as hot flashes indiscriminately flared up in the middle of the night. The rude awakening jeopardized her focus on the street, presenting a potentially dangerous situation. Having tried everything, she finally found a way to cool off and calm the hot flashes by making one big change.
Lindsay Nixon would be doubled over in crippling pain every month when. The cramps were so severe that she was unable to leave her home. Often she begged her roommate to stand on her belly or would fold herself over the back of the couch thinking that the pressure would bring relief. She also began taking prescription pain killers and considered having a hysterectomy at a young age. The decision would have taken away her ability to have children, but all she could think about was putting an end to her agony. Finally, she found that food was the answer. Today she is living pain free and famously known as The Happy Herbivore.
Lindsay also created the recipes from Dr. Barnard's book Your Body In Balance! She and Chuck go over her amazing recipe for Mediterranean Croquettes and Bayou Quinoa from Day 2 of the book's 14-day menu.

Erectile dysfunction is a drag! Millions of men are struggling to keep up with their manhood and that's leading to a whole host of problems — not just in the bedroom either.
Most will turn the little blue pill for relief, but the reality is they'd be better off choosing vegetables over Viagra!
On this episode of The Exam Room podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard who shares how better food can lead to better function in bed.
The pair also discuss a petition to the FDA that would require impotence drug manufacturers to put a warning label on pill bottles alerting consumers that erectile dysfunction is often the first sign of heart disease and diabetes. A change in diet can help in that department too!

Does the popular Keto Diet cause diabetes?
We’re going to answer that question by diving into what research shows on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast!
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova who has studied the link between the Keto Diet and diabetes. She says that it’s time to rethink sugar and carbohydrates as the culprits behind diabetes and instead look at the other foods on your plate, including meat and dairy. In fact, she cites a long-term study that finds following a low-carb diet for 10 years or more significantly increases the risk of becoming diabetic.
Dr. Kahleova and Chuck explore the three major nutritional problems that are causing people to live sicker and die younger. It turns out that the three are directly to related to the carbohydrate-restricted Keto Diet.
Chuck then explores the plant-based scene in England with a little help from Emma Humfrey. Interest in healthy eating is leading to a boom in options for plant-based eaters it seems! Emma, a paramedic by day and yoga master by night, also shares her own journey to a plant-based diet and how she's teaching her yoga students about nutrition with homemade healthy plant-based treats!
Emma’s mom, who was skeptical of her diet at first, has now even opened her own plant-based eatery after seeing her daughter thrive!

Can endometriosis be treated by changing your diet?
In the fourth episode of the special “Your Body In Balance” series, you’ll hear from Katherine Lawrence Ireland whose surgeon stopped a hysterectomy mid-procedure after discovering that her endometriosis had improved so dramatically that it had practically vanished. Doctors called it a miracle, but Katherine believed it was because she changed her diet weeks earlier.
So how could this have happened? Was it really the new foods that she had been eating that caused her endometriosis to improve?
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll welcomes Dr. Neal Barnard to the show get the answers. Dr. Barnard explains the nutrition science of why that “miracle” occurred in the operating room. He also details how a diet that is heavy on meat and dairy, but light on fruits and vegetables, can cause hormonal issues and fuel endometriosis.
It was a condition that nearly robbed Katherine of the opportunity to have children. Today, she is the proud mom of three boys!
Katherine has also devoted her life to helping others leading healthier lives as well. She is the founder of Food Saved Me where she imparts her wisdom and knowledge though a series of classes in the Dallas, Texas area.
Her story is just one of the many amazing transformations featured in Dr. Barnard’s new book, Your Body In Balance.

This episode of The Exam Room™ podcast is all about debunking the “bro science” that is spread in gyms and locker rooms worldwide. An increasing amount of science shows that athletes are actually able to perform as well — if not better — when eating a plant based diet!
Of course that idea is counter to the low-carb, meat-heavy diets that the majority of athletes have been taught to swear by. The idea of going without beef and chicken is mind-boggling for most competitors. Yet, research shows the only thing mind-boggling is why anyone would still be turning to meat in hopes of becoming an All-Star.
When the Super Bowl kicks off millions of people will be tuning in to see the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers clash on the gridiron with an NFL Championship on the line. And many of those watching might be a little vegan curious thanks to the release of The Game Changers documentary.
The number of players in the NFL who are turning to a plant-based diet to gain an edge is rising. For Chiefs star safety Tyrann Mathieu the decision is paying off handsomely. He recorded the second-highest interception total of his career this season and earned first-team All-Pro honors. But it’s not just his on-field performance that’s getting a lift. His accolades earned him a lucrative multi-million dollar contract last off-season. And now he’s playing for a championship!
But what is it about plants that is so attractive to these gargantuan athletes? That’s what we’re going to find out on this episode.
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined Barnard Medical Center director Dr. Jim Loomis who was featured in the smash hit documentary The Game Changers. He also is a former team physician for both an NFL team and Major League Baseball club. Now, Dr. Loomis is fueling his practice exclusively on plants and delving into the science that’s giving players like Mathieu a leg up on the competition!
Why is it that they’re able to recover faster? Do plants actually make you run faster? Can they still perform at elite levels? And can the common athlete and weekend warriors benefit as well? Dr. Loomis has the answers.
Plus, Audrey Dunham joins the show with some amazing plant-based recipes just in time for kickoff. She has some amazing options that will score a touchdown for your taste buds!

The doctor told him that he would need to be on insulin to treat diabetes for the rest of his life. But he told the doctor that wouldn’t work for him. Soon thereafter Bob Blackburn became the first patient the doctor had ever seen to reverse a diabetes diagnosis.
The idea of ditching meat and dairy was once unfathomable to the former Marine and professional wrestler. For decades his diet consisted of fast food, junk food, and high-fat foods. In fact, while traveling he would plan his routes around his favorite high-calorie restaurants.
But an inner health warrior was awoken inside Bob when his doctor informed him that he had diabetes. From then on, the unfathomable plant-based diet became the only diet he was interested in.
On this third installment of the “Your Body In Balance” series with Dr. Neal Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, Bob shares his remarkable journey—one filled with a lifetime of adventure, learning, and inspiration.
Dr. Barnard also sits down with Chuck to explore the connection between diabetes and hormones and why a dietary change can be just what the doctor ordered.
Bob’s story is just one of the many featured in Dr. Barnard’s new book, Your Body In Balance, which will be released on Feb. 4.

The connection between thyroid health and diet is becoming increasingly clear.
In the second part of the “Your Body In Balance” series with Dr. Neal Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, the pair explore the research available on thyroid function and nutrition.
Dr. Barnard delves into the differences between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and the foods to avoid for each condition. He also tackles the effect dietary change can have on Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease.
Then, Chuck is joined by three people from all different walks of life who overcame their thyroid issues and are featured in the Your Body In Balance book.
Dr. Mike Cowan is a neurosurgeon who enjoyed staying active and competing in sports. Mike thought that he was a pillar of health until one day his bloodwork showed an underperforming thyroid.
Wendy Sax is a film producer who began gaining weight unexpectedly and noticed that her hair was turning brittle. She experienced dramatic mood swings that often left her with feelings of deep depression while also feeling surges of restless energy. It wasn’t long before doctors diagnosed her with a hyperthyroid.
Jeanne Schumacher is a chemistry teacher who also began packing on pounds, but instead of having a jolt of energy, she felt sluggish and was sick all the time. She had become a frequent flyer in the doctor’s office. Her turning point came when she was rushed to the hospital with a 105-degree fever and sky-high blood pressure.
Although they lead much different lives, they do have one thing in common, each are now living vibrantly and healthfully following a closer examination of the foods they were eating.
Their stories of transformation are amazing!
Their stories are just a few of the many featured in Dr. Barnard’s new book, Your Body In Balance, which will be released on February 4.

Eggs are one of the most popular breakfast foods in the world and they’re also in a ton of recipes. So how can you cook without them?!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast you will learn about a number of ways to replace eggs to turn virtually any recipe into a vegan recipe. “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined dietitian Maggie Neola who has a whole list egg substitutes to share! Everything from nuts and seeds to fruits and even potatoes!
Dr. Neal Barnard also joins the show to talk about some scrambled science. He and Chuck delve into a study showing that the egg industry is sweeping unflattering data about the link between eggs and high cholesterol under the rug or misrepresenting it altogether.

If you have been struggling with your skin and battling acne and nothing seems to make it go away, the solution could be getting your hormones back in balance!
As we begin our special series “Your Body In Balance” with Dr. Neal Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll the pair are joined by twin sisters Nina and Randa Nelson whose struggle with acne led to bouts of depression and took a toll on both the budding entertainers’ careers. During bad flare ups they would shut themselves inside their home and shut out their friends and the outside world. It seemed as though pimples would plague them their entire lives and that all hope was lost. That is until they changed what their diet.
On this episode, Dr. Barnard explains why our hormones are affected by food and how if what we eat causes them to go haywire, the solution to healthier skin might begin at the table.
Their story is just one of many featured in Dr. Barnard’s new book, Your Body In Balance which will be released February 4.

The food that you eat plays an enormous role in how strong our immune system is!
Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and Dr. Jasmol Sardana as they examine how to fight a cold and flu with food! Did you know that the average person in the U.S. will catch a cold two to three times every year and tens of millions of others will come down with the flu?
Find out the best foods to eat to help you stay healthy while everyone around you seems to be coughing and sneezing up a storm on this episode!
Beyond food, Chuck and Dr. Jasmol also discuss the vegan flu shot, Flublok. This vaccine uses no eggs during the creation process and is believed to be the best option for those eating a vegan diet. And if you’re wondering why a person would still need a flu shot if they’re eating a healthy diet, Dr. Jasmol sheds light on that too!

Everything you need to know about going vegan you will learn in this show as Drs. Michael Greger, Neal Barnard and Jasmol Sardana join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™!
This jam-packed show will help you make this the healthiest year of your life.
Dr. Greger will share how not to diet! At a time when we’re spending billions of dollars every year to lose weight only to get heavier and heavier, Dr. Greger clues us in on where we’re going wrong as he talks about his new book, How Not To Diet. He gives advice on the best and worst time to eat, why gut bacteria is so important for weight loss, and how eating fewer calories without going hungry can extend your life!
Then, Dr. Sardana joins Chuck for Vegan 101 to answer the basic questions like “how do I get started” and “what steps should I take first?” She also helps us discover our “why” for change, which is almost as important as the how when taking charge of our health.
For the advanced course, Chuck revisits a conversation with Dr. Barnard that shatters myths about vegan diets! These are many of the same falsehoods that have prevented people from making the switch — everything from getting enough nutrients to athletic performance. And once all of that has been put to bed, Dr. Barnard reveals the health benefits of eating a plant-based diet that can make this your healthiest year ever.

Josie is just 13 years old but she’s already saving lives and making the world a better place!
Before the calendar flips to 2020, this super inspiring teen joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll for a special episode of The Exam Room™ to share her astonishing story. The young vegan spotted a cage on the side of the road. On the outside was a sign reading “Free Bacon.” On the inside was a tiny abandoned pig.
Josie knew she didn’t stumble across a meal, she stumbled across a friend whom would soon have a new home and a new name, Franny.
Their story has captured the hearts of thousands and now Josie is working tirelessly to help rescue other animals while spreading awareness of the benefits of a plant-based diet.
Her efforts are similar to the work being done in Michigan where lawmakers are working to outlaw painful experiments on dogs. Chuck is joined by Kristie Sullivan, Vice President of Research Policy at the Physicians Committee, to get an update on our efforts in the state and where things stand with the groundbreaking legislation.
We need your help to continue our work in 2020! From ending animal cruelty to life-saving research for human health to educating thousands of doctors on nutrition, we cannot do this without your support!
Thanks to some very generous members of the Physicians Committee, up to the first $500,000 donated until January 1 will automatically be matched dollar-for-dollar during the December Matching Gift Challenge! That means your generous contribution will automatically be doubled and go twice and far and help twice as much.

What a year 2019 has been! Evidence showing the link between disease and diet continues to mount, which means that researchers are more confident than ever that key to leading a long and healthy life begins with the food on our plate.
On this very special edition of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll looks back at the five biggest stories on the show from the past year.
5.) The final 365 days of the decade were dominated by questions about the health and complexion of our skin and the foods that help keep us looking young and vibrant. Plant-based dermatologist Dr. Niyati Sharma was kind enough to offer advice on everything from dry skin to wrinkles to acne!
4.) 2019 was also the year of the vegan athlete with the release of The Game Changers documentary. Elite athletes in virtually every major sport are now turning to a plant-based diet to get a leg up on their competition. Everyone from tennis phenom Venus Williams to NBA superstar Kyrie Irving and Formula 1 Racing champion Lewis Hamilton are ditching meat and dairy to take their game to the next level. Dr. Jim Loomis, a former team internist in the NFL and Major League Baseball, joined Chuck to explain what their new diets are doing to give their body a big boost!
3.) The year also saw renewed scrutiny of dairy. It’s been said for decades that milk does a body good, but newly released studies have shown that its effects are doing far more harm than help. Oncology dietitian Alison Tierney joined the show to present data showing rather than promoting healthy teeth and strong bones, the proteins and fat in dairy are actually promoting cancer!
2.) 2019 will soon give way to 2020 and before we know it the calendar will reset to 2021 and then 2022. An undeniable truth is that time marches on and we all grow older. Aging is a natural part of life, but can also be one of the most stressful. Many of us fear memories beginning to fade with time as forgetfulness creeps in and worries of Alzheimer’s disease enter our mind. But Dr. Neal Barnard joined Chuck with powerful research showing that we can give our brains a big boost! All it takes is a willingness to make small changes and eliminate certain foods from our diet and replacing them with major memory enhancing nutrients! Dr. Barnard has the science behind it all!
1.) The most popular show of the year focused on a problem that we all will face at some point in our life, food addiction. What is it about certain food that makes it impossible to put the fork down? Why are we compulsively driven to eat even when we’re not hungry? Dr. Barnard returned for a fascinating conversation with Chuck, a recovering food addict himself, to show exactly how our brains are wired to get hooked on high fat and sugary foods. In fact, the addiction can be so strong that the same medication used to treat opioid overdoses can be used to curb chocolate cravings!

This is a jam-packed show with healthy holiday wisdom and a visit from Audrey and Jeff Dunham!
It’s the most wonderful time of year… for gyms to sell memberships, and fad diet “gurus” to cash-in. It’s also a wonderful time for your sweet tooth with cookies and cakes tempting you everywhere you turn.
But it’s not the most wonderful time of year for your scale or your health. Overindulging and putting on weight has become as much of a part of the holidays as opening gifts. But what if there was a way to make holiday treats with less fat and fewer calories?
There is! And many of the plant-based options are so good that even naughty kids who leave them for Santa get bumped to the nice list.
Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and dietitian Lee Crosby as they share healthier holiday secrets and recipes during a live broadcast from the Fruitive Restaurant in Washington, DC! Learn the best plant-based substitutes for eggs and oil, the nutritional benefits of oatmeal cookies, and how to lower cholesterol while still catering to your sweet tooth!
Plus, learn how to deal with social situations at parties and family gatherings from non-vegans and how to plant ahead when you know vegan options will be limited.
You won’t want to miss the recipes for the oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies and chocolate lover’s banana bread.
Then, Chuck is joined in Los Angeles by famed comedian Jeff Dunham and his plant-powered cookie creating wife, Audrey. They share how Jeff keeps it plant-based on the road, an unforgettable Thanksgiving experience with the non-vegan side of the family, and the trick to finding healthy vegan options in the last places you’d expect! Plus, Audrey unveils her new cinnamon oatmeal cookies from Peanuts Bake Shop just in time for the holidays. And you’ll hear about Jeff’s adventures taking cookies out of the oven on his tour bus as it barrels down the road at 70 miles per hour.
Lee and Chuck will both be speaking at The Kickstart Intensive on January 10-11 in Washington, DC!

Gluten-free diets are big business! We are spending billions of dollars each year on everything from gluten-free cereals to snacks to breads and desserts. And these foods often cost more than twice as much as the regular fare! But are we really benefitting from paying extra to eliminate this controversial protein or are we just wrapped up in another food fad?
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by dietician Lee Crosby who has the answers on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast! Lee shares everything you need to know about gluten: what it is, what foods have it, who should avoid it, the surprisingly small percentage of the population affected by Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and why eliminating it from your diet unnecessarily could actually put your health at risk! You’ll also learn about the other proteins in wheat that the body can be sensitive to!
You can visit Lee at the Barnard Medical Center for consultation of your diet.

This is how you have a vegan Thanksgiving for non-vegans! To prove that a big plant-based meal can satisfy even the most macho meat eaters, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll enjoys a feast with Super Bowl winning running back Ricky Ervins and long-time sports writer Rick Snider.
They broke bread together just down the road from the headquarters of Washington’s NFL team and oh what a feast they had! The master chefs at GreenFare Organic Café and Restaurant whipped up all the classics: mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, stuffing, vegan macaroni and cheese, brightly colored salad, sweet potato pumpkin bars — literally everything but the turkey!
For Rick and Ricky, it was a flavorful touchdown and a heck of an education, one that they may pay forward with their families at their own tables this year!
Chuck also delves into the science of a plant-based Thanksgiving with dietician Susan Levin. How does the body react differently to a big meal without meat compared to one that serves some? How might a vegan meal help keep you in a better mood and prevent little dustups over dinner? And are you less likely to slip into a food coma after you eat a vegan Thanksgiving dinner? Susan has the answers!

Could eating a vegan diet be the key to treating Crohn’s Disease? Quite possibly.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova who shares a case study of a medical school student who was able to put his Crohn’s Disease into remission by adopting a plant-based diet. Even with traditional medical treatments the student was still struggling until he made dietary adjustments.
Dr. Kahleova and Chuck explore why his case may not be an anomaly and the nutrition science of why eliminating meat and dairy from the diet may the millions of others worldwide living with Crohn’s.
Chuck is also joined by entrepreneur Gregg Rozeboom who was inspired to open a chain of plant-based restaurants that were both healthy and eco-friendly. Gregg simply wanted for there to be a place where he could feel good about the food that was being served. Thus, Fruitive was born.
Gregg’s journey to open Fruitive and adopt a plant-based diet is also part of his own health journey. He suffered from frequent and intense migraine headaches. At the suggestion of his wife, he began logging a food journal. As it turns out, Gregg discovered that the fast food and processed food he had been eating was also triggering these crippling episodes. Without that food in his diet, the migraines have subsided greatly!
Fruitive has five locations in three cities, including Washington, DC, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk, Virginia.
We apologize for the audio quality during the interview with Gregg Rozeboom.

A major push is underway to end lab testing on dogs by pharmaceutical companies.
On this bonus episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Elizabeth Baker, pharmaceutical policy program director for the Physicians Committee, who shares the incredible story of Vanda Pharmaceuticals. The biopharmaceutical company is working to end animal testing even at the expense of their bottom line.
As you’ll hear, Vanda was ordered by the FDA to test a potential new drug for a stomach disorder on dogs. However, the company’s researchers concluded that the study would not be useful and cause unnecessary animal suffering. Vanda then asked FDA not to require the dog study, which would have taken place after the drug was already being tested in humans.
But the FDA pushed back and barred Vanda from continuing with any further trials. Now, Vanda is fighting back!
Baker also discusses the modern non-animal testing methods that are faster and more cost-effective in bringing drugs to market.

Doctors may soon be prescribing plants instead of pills to treat arthritis.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to discuss why people with rheumatoid arthritis are turning to a vegan diet. Her team of researchers examined scores of studies on the topic and published a review showing very promising results. In fact, Dr. Kahleova says that there have been cases where patients have completely reversed RA after adopting a plant-based diet!
That’s sweet relief for the millions living with the disorder who have painfully inflamed and in many cases crippled joints.
Chuck is also joined by Melissa Sherlock who is a mover and shaker in a town made famous by its steak. She’s finding that her meat heavy town also has big appetite for plants!
She’s changing lives and changing minds one class at a time as a Food For Life instructor even when lifelong meat eaters come in vowing not to change. Through nutrition science, recipes, and a healthy dose of fun, Melissa is showing that beef is not what’s for dinner!

Beta-carotene is a cancer-fighting heavyweight! So, to honor this powerhouse nutrient we’re re-thinking pink. In fact, we’re changing our colors altogether to conclude our series on breast cancer. Because on this episode of The Exam Room™ orange is the new pink!
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with dietician Susan Levin who explains how the same nutrient that gives orange foods their color also helps hunt cancer cells in the body. Susan, who is director of nutrition education for the Physicians Committee, also reveals the foods with the most beta-carotene that you should be putting on your plate.
Chuck is then joined by Jessie Davidson who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 28 years old. Jessie was a newlywed, having tied the knot less than a year earlier, but instead of having the world in the palm of her hand, it was turned upside down. But Jessie was relentless in her fight and shares how she faced her fears to pull through. A big part of that was discovering a plant-based diet and the link between cancer and the food in her kitchen.
Dr. Kristi Funk then steps back into The Exam Room™ with her fourth and final step of the Let's Beat Breast Cancer guide — keeping a healthy weight. You’ll learn how carrying around extra pounds can increase the odds of getting cancer and why eating high-fat foods causes a woman’s body to produce excessive amounts of cancer-promoting estrogen.

Does soy really cause breast cancer? We discover the truth on this episode of The Exam Room podcast!
Dozens of studies are reviewed on as “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by dietitian Lee Crosby who will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about soy. Is it a cancer fighting powerhouse or a cancer causing calamity? We have an answer!
Chuck is also joined by breast cancer survivor Christine Collins who shares her triumphant story. The mother of two young daughters had her world turned upside down when she was diagnosed and was rocked even harder when doctors discovered the cancer far was more advanced than originally thought. But Christine would not be deterred and immediately turned to a plant-based diet for help. Flash forward six years and she’s still amazing her doctors today!
Dr. Kristi Funk steps back in The Exam Room with Chuck to discuss the third of four steps to reducing your risk of cancer as part of the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign: limiting the amount of alcohol you drink. As Dr. Funk explains, alcohol has been shown to significantly increase cancer risk regardless whether it's beer, wine or hard liquor. And she shares the way it interacts with the body to cause this!

The link between dairy foods and milk and cancer is undeniable. In fact, multiple studies show that consuming them increases risk of developing breast cancer by roughly 50 percent among women!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll explores the reason why the hormones, fat and proteins found in milk can be triggers for cancer. He is joined by oncology dietician Alison Tierney who specializes in diets among cancer patients.
Courageous breast cancer survivor Jennifer Hill also sits down with Chuck to share her remarkable journey and how a plant-based turned around her fortunes during aggressive chemotherapy treatments.
Plus, Dr. Kristi Funk returns to the to discuss the role alcohol plays in promoting breast cancer. She dives into the science of why regularly drinking beer, wine and spirits can cause cancer cells to grow in your body.
Limiting alcohol is the second of four steps outlined in the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign.

Dr. Neal Barnard steps into The Exam Room with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll!
Every October it seems as though everything is awash in pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. However, Dr. Barnard explains that sometimes these well-intentioned efforts badly miss the mark.
Remember when KFC had a pink bucket of chicken? What about the airline selling a pink martini to raise funds for breast cancer research? More recently, a sausage company announced plans for a "cure campaign."
The problem is that all of these products have been shown to increase the risk of developing cancer and some have been classified directly as being carcinogenic to humans. It's like selling a pack of cigarettes to raise money for lung cancer research.
Dr. Barnard ponders a new way to think pink, one that stresses prevention rather than treatment!
Dr. Kristi Funk then joins Chuck to discuss the first of four steps outlined in the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign — eating a plant-based diet!
How is it that the nutrients in plants can unlock such powerful cancer-fighting capability? Dr. Funk has the answers!

Dangerous and controversial headlines are everywhere and these headlines can kill!
Headline: "No need to reduce red or processed meat for good health!"
Sadly, this is cancer causing clickbait and it's putting the health of millions in jeopardy. The risk of cancer, heart disease, and other ailments is very real and this episode has the science to prove it.
Dr. Neal Barnard and Mark Kennedy, Esq. join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss this controversial research that defies the conclusions of scores of research and the World Health Organization which declared red and processed meats to be carcinogenic to humans.
The group gets to the truth about red meat, including years of research showing the harmful effects of eating as little as one slice of bacon every day! They also examine where researchers went wrong and how by omitting certain facts they arrived at such a dangerous conclusion.

On a bonus episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, we are celebrating a major victory for animals!
The lives of hundreds of thousands of mice, rabbits and other mammals will be spared thanks to a new directive by the Environmental Protection Agency. The agency is eliminating all chemical testing on mammals by 2035 and the tests will begin to be phased out long before then!
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Kristie Sullivan, MPH, Physicians Committee vice president for research policy, to learn exactly when the changes will begin to occur, how the decision could urge other agencies to follow suit, and even how this will affect the products that might be in your home.
You’ll also learn about innovative non-animal testing methods that are more accurate and effective, prevent unnecessary suffering, and save the lives of many animals.
But as you’ll hear there is still much work to be done! Chuck and Kristie also talk about the next steps to continue ending animal testing in labs and medical schools and how you can help!

Are vegans really more likely to have a stroke than meat eaters? In this jam packed episode of The Exam Room Podcast™, Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to debunk that myth and take a close look at a recent study that found that to be the case.
As you’ll hear, the conclusion was drawn after researchers adjusted data from the study. Find out why this happened as Dr. Barnard sheds light on this method as well as a conversation he had with the authors of the study.
You’ll also learn the difference between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes and how the risk differs for meat eaters compared to those who eat a plant-based diet.
Then, Chuck is joined by Dr. Robert Ostfeld to take a closer look at the health claims of the Atkins Diet. The low-carb, high fat diet is making a comeback thanks to a new wave of marketing.
“As a cardiologist, I think the Atkins Diet is a mistake,” Ostfeld definitively stated.
It’s a mistake he says that goes beyond an increased risk of heart disease and cancer. Because you’ll find out how the effects of the diet stretch all the way into the bedroom where a lack of fruits and vegetables can impact erectile function!

A doctor has changed her life by adopting a plant-based diet and is now using her experience to transform the lives of her patients.
Dr. Vanita Rahman joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about how she overcame her own battle with obesity and why she’s sharing that experience and what she’s learned.
Her journey to health began years earlier when her family immigrated to the United States from India. It wasn’t long before she began gaining weight on the standard American diet. As Chuck and Dr. Rahman discuss, weight gain is difficult for any teenager let alone one who is trying to make friends in a new country.
It wasn’t until years later when her own health began to deteriorate that she turned to a vegan diet for help and it wasn’t long before she began to see results and started feeling better. She became so inspired by her transformation that she’s paying it forward with a new weight loss program at The Barnard Medical Center.
Chuck is also joined by Nolan Rodman and Dr. Hana Kahleova to find out how Nolan’s transition to a plant-based diet is progressing. In part 1 of the interview, Nolan was getting ready to try going vegan for the first time. How is he feeling now? What did Dr. Kahleova discover about his transition? They’ve run the tests and the results are in!

“Someone asked me how could you get as strong as an ox without eating meat? My answer was, ‘have you ever seen an ox eating meat?’” - Patrik Baboumian, record-setting Strongman, from The Game Changers.
That is the epiphany of a hulking gentleman who squats the equivalent of five kegs of beer or two and half full-grown panda bears. Baboumian is truly one of the strongest men in the world and he is fueled exclusively a vegan diet.
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll goes one-on-one with Dr. Jim Loomis who is featured in The Game Changers documentary. For years he was tasked with keeping million dollar athletes healthy as a team physician for both the St. Louis Cardinals baseball franchise as well as the Rams NFL franchise.
Loomis reveals the mind-boggling list of foods the average player will eat on game day and why switching their diet could improve their performance on the field.
More importantly, he also details how he overcame a series of health issues after switching to a plant-based diet himself. The change was so dramatic that he was able to complete an iron man triathlon shortly after his 60th birthday!
We also hear from a young man who is trying a plant-based diet for the first time. He is fairly athletic, loves to play sports recreationally, and looking for a little bit of an edge. So what will he discover? Find out with us as we track his “vegan curious” journey.

Your brain and your gut are like best friends who are always calling and texting each other. They’re always in communication and can’t live without each other!
Gut and brain relationship expert Dr. Leigh Frame joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on this episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast to shine more light on their unique bond. Her first appearance was one of the most downloaded episodes to date and Dr. Frame is back with even more science for her encore, including:
- Keto Diet’s effect on gut bacteria
- Why fiber is critical for gut health
- How gut bacteria changes with every meal
- Gut bacteria and mental health
- Phytonutrients in the gut and potential for heart disease and cancer prevention
For inspiration, Chuck welcomes Bruce and Mindy Mylrea to the show. The couple famously travel the world in the “Wellness Wagon” — an RV that is covered with pictures of fruits and vegetables. They are on a mission to teach as many people as possible about the health benefits of a plant-based diet. And for them, it’s very personal.
Bruce has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and continues to carefully monitor his health while still teaching as many people as possible. The couple speak openly and candidly about the challenges they are facing and why it’s important that they tackle them head-on with a positive attitude and unrelenting optimism.
Eating a whole-food plant-based diet is a critical part of Bruce’s plan and he credits it immensely for helping him throughout the treatment process. He says he was able to nullify many of the side effects of the surgeries, radiation and hormone therapies because of his diet.

This show is all about weight loss and inspiration!
Some believe that when you begin losing weight at some point the scale will simply stop moving. You eat the same and you exercise the same, but the pounds stop coming off. Maybe you exercise even more, but it seems no matter what you try you’re stuck on the weight loss plateau.
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll sits down with dietician Karen Smith to figure out how to get unstuck. She has tips and tricks to reboot your weight loss journey and get you back on the path to a healthier life!
Of course, when it comes to slimming down sometimes we all can use a little motivation. Eric O'Grey is the embodiment of inspiration!
For years he struggled with obesity and was on mountains of medications to treat type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. At one point a doctor even told him to buy a cemetery plot because a grave would be his next stop.
Then he found another doctor who gave him two more prescriptions that would save his life: adopt a plant-based diet and a dog. Both he and the dog slimmed down and Eric is no longer on any medication.
Chuck welcomes Eric back to the show to talk about his extraordinary accomplishment and for the first time they are joined by the doctor whom he credits with saving his life, Dr. Preeti Kulkarni! Hear in her own words about why she took such a unique approach with Eric and what it was like to witness this extraordinary success unfold before her very eyes.

Is the paleo diet healthy? Supporters claim that by eating the way our ancestors did more than 10,000 years ago you will lose weight and get healthy. It’s a diet free of most grains, beans, legumes and potatoes since those foods weren’t available during the paleolithic era. However, there is evidence to suggest certain grains and tubers were in fact part of the Neanderthal diet.
Without those starches, a typical paleo menu relies heavily on grass-fed lean meat, fish, eggs, and oil. Nuts, fruit and vegetables are also permitted.
Millions sing paleo praises, but are they off key?
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to get to the bottom of the paleo diet. They are separating myth from fact by examining the true effect it can have on your health.
Chuck also welcomes professional wrestler Austin Aries back to the show as he continues to explore the success athletes are having by eating a plant-based diet. The multiple time world champion has turned his back on a meat and dairy-rich upbringing in Wisconsin and is now fueled exclusively by plants. He also has been training with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.

Chuck also looks at an epic week for plant-based athletes and why their diet is leading them to victory!
Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton took home the checkered flag at the British Grand Prix. Just a few hours later, Novak Djokovic outlasted Roger Federer in an epic championship final for the ages to capture his fifth Wimbledon title and celebrated by plucking a few blades of grass off the court and having a snack. Leafy greens, right?!
And who forget about Alex Morgan? All she did was help lead the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team to a win at the World Cup and win the ESPY Award for Best Female Athlete!
So what is a plant-based diet really the secret to their success? We’re going to find out as Chuck revisits an interview with Dr. James Loomis and dietitian Susan Levin who co-authored a study examining the effect of food on athletic performance. What the discovered were some of the strongest links yet between diet and post-workout recovery.
Dr. Loomis will also be featured in the highly anticipated upcoming documentary The Game Changers, a “revolutionary new documentary about meat, protein, and strength.” It is set for a one-night special nationwide screening on September 16, 2019.

The current generation of children will not live longer than their parents if the current skyrocketing obesity trend continues. One out of every five children are now obese, according to the latest statistics, while millions of others are overweight and not far behind. As those numbers continue to rise, so too will the number of children facing illnesses once thought to be reserved only for adults — heart disease, type 2 diabetes and more.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll talks about his own struggle with childhood obesity. Doctors put him on blood pressure medication when he was only 15 years old because of his poor eating habits!
Dietician Maggie Neola then joins the show to update us on some extraordinary efforts to prevent other children from suffering the same fate. A number of states are considering legislation that would require schools to offer plant-based lunch options, including New York and California. She and Chuck also talk about how you can get involved and help push legislation through that would make healthy lunches the law of the land.
New York residents can send their representatives a letter urging them to support proposals S1472 and A1624 that would bring plant-based food to schools statewide.
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, you can schedule an appointment to meet with Maggie to review your own diet at the Barnard Medical Center.
Audrey Dunham then joins the show! If you’re not familiar with her, you should be! She is a woman with many hats from mother to baker to fitness competitor to trainer and entrepreneur. Audrey also just so happens to be married to famed ventriloquist Jeff Dunham whose popular character Peanuts is the inspiration for her line of plant-based treats.
Audrey shares some tips and tricks about raising her own children on a plant-based diet and also chronicles her own physical struggles as a fitness competitor that led her to adopt a plant-based diet herself!

“I had a cheeseburger for dinner. Then I finished reading The China Study that night and started a vegan diet the next day.” -Andrew Freeman, M.D.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell has devoted his life to nutrition science and revolutionized how many of us, including physicians, view plant-based diets. His research and book thrust the health benefits of a plant-based diet into the forefront of medical discussion. Millions first learned of the link between consumption of animal products and deadly diseases by reading his book and reviewing his landmark studies which began nearly than four decades earlier. Today, his work continues to inspire a new generation of medical professionals as well as health conscious patients who are both anxious to reduce the risk of developing a myriad of cancers and coronary heart disease.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll travels to Fairfax Vegfest to interview Dr. Campbell just moments after he walked off stage following a presentation that dazzled the packed house who came to see him.
Chuck and Dr. Campbell dive into the future of plant-based medicine while also examining how adopting a plant-based diet may help alter the course of treatment for cancer patients.
The pair also compare the difference between obtaining nutrients by taking supplements and through the food we eat.
Also, Chuck revisits an interview with Dr. Neal Barnard where he reveals some of the best foods we can eat to fight cancer!

Did you know that a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 40 percent? Keep that in mind as esteemed plant-based cardiologist Dr. Robert Ostfeld joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll for a special episode of The Exam Room™ podcast!
The pair sat down together at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City to discuss the way Dr. Ostfeld is revolutionizing cardiac care for his patients by encouraging them to adopt a plant-based diet. As you’ll hear, many of those patients have experienced incredible health transformations and have incredible success stories to share.

Can a dog or a cat be vegan? That’s what we explore on this episode of The Exam Room™!
Veterinarian Dr. Armaiti May has been studying plant-based diets and animals for years and joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss her findings.
According to Dr. May, dogs and cats have only "nutrient requirements" and not specific "ingredient requirements." So, is it possible to satisfy those nutrient requirements with a plant-based diet?
Dr. May and Chuck will also explore how a vegan diet can impact animals who are prone to certain conditions such as heart disease. Research has shown that a plant-based diet can improve cardiovascular health in humans, but does the same hold true for animals?
And what fruits and vegetables are toxic to dogs and cats? You’ll learn that as Dr. Mark Liberto joins the show.
Then Chuck puts his colleagues and his wife, Julie, in the hot seat to quiz them on which foods are safe to feed their furry friends! Careful, there are some tricky ones on the list!

We continue to unlock the mysteries of gut bacteria and your health, including how it effects weight loss! With advancements in DNA research, we are revisiting what we thought we knew about what’s populating our digestive tract and where new discoveries are taking us.
Gut bacteria expert Dr. Hana Kahleova returns to take a deep dive into the latest research with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll.
Join them to learn how a healthy gut can automatically give athletes more than a 20% cardiovascular fitness edge over their competition. Dr. Kahleova also shares the newest research linking weight loss and gut bacteria as well the best foods you can eat to get your gut in check!
Courtney Flannery then joins Chuck to recount her years as a true medical mystery. Her journey began when she became ill as a teenager and lasted for nearly a decade. Doctor after doctor were baffled by her condition. No answers were to be had despite receiving nearly a dozen different diagnoses: Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation, Fibromyalgia, Dysautonomia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Migraines, Anxiety and Depression, Pre-Diabetes, and Hypoglycemia, among others.
All the while, Courtney’s weight would swing wildly, and she was being bullied by her peers. By the time she was in her early 20’s, the physical and emotional toll left her frail body unable to walk without the assistance of a cane or wheelchair. Everything came to a head on one fateful day when she collapsed on the floor of a convention. Many, including her own mother, believed death would not be far behind.
Ever resilient and unwilling to die, Courtney began the painstaking process of investigating her condition and searching for a cure. Eventually, she stumbled upon research on the benefits of a plant-based diet, including some conducted by The Physicians Committee. Following years of frustrating battles and a near-death experience, the pieces of the puzzle started coming together and her fortunes began to turn around once she changed her eating habits.
Courtney is now living healthfully and happily without any assistance from a cane — something once believed to be impossible. It’s a can’t miss story!

Have you ever gone to the doctor and been given this ambiguous prescription for “diet and exercise?” The exercise part seems straight forward, but for many doctors food remains a medical mystery.
That’s a major problem given the fact that poor diet quality has surpassed smoking to become the leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. In fact, 70 percent of all chronic diseases are believed to be linked to diet and lifestyle.
On this episode of The Exam Room Podcast™, Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explore why doctors don’t know much about diets. As you’ll learn, the problem begins long before they ever enter practice, it begins in medical school. The lack of nutrition education in the curriculum is jaw-dropping despite an increasing amount of research showing that many chronic disease-related deaths could have been prevented by dietary changes.
Dr. Barnard also shares how YOU can help fix the problem by speaking with your own doctors and help them understand that vitamin C comes from more than just a pill or glass of orange juice. Your conversations with them about nutrition and the benefits of a plant-based diet can literally help to save a life.
And if you think your doctor won’t listen? Think again. A survey among physicians published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition finds that 94 percent of them feel nutrition counseling should be part of primary care visits. However, only 14 percent feel like they are able to adequately talk about it, but your conversation can help change that.
You’ll also get tips on how to begin those conversations and how to have them with friends and family who may be skeptical of a vegan diet.

Rip Esselstyn has quite the story to tell! After retiring as an elite professional athlete and later hanging up the boots as a firefighter, he devoted his life to inspiring and improving the health of so many people through the plant-based Engine 2 Diet. It’s a program born out of his desire to help a fellow firefighter in desperate need of change.
On this episode of The Exam Room Podcast™, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Rip who shares how his drive to help just one person is now changing the lives of countless others.
If the name Esselstyn seems familiar, you might be thinking of his father, and famed surgeon, Caldwell Esselstyn whose work has been a major influence in the plant-based community.
With a lineage like that, you might think that Rip has been plant-strong from day one, but that’s not the case. Even as a scholarship athlete in college Rip was chowing down on hamburgers, steaks and BLTs. He tells Chuck that he only opted to ditch meat and dairy after graduating from school. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Join them as they recount this incredible moving journey.
Rip is also adding another piece to his resume as a podcaster! He recently launched the Plant-Strong Podcast where teams with a renowned team of plant-based doctors, including Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Loomis, as well as other experts to save the life of New York City firefighter Joe Inga. The show chronicles Joe’s journey as he wrestles with his own mortality and tries to break a lifetime of unhealthy habits.

It’s not just chicken that you’re eating!
On this episode of The Exam Room Podcast™, Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the disgusting truth about chicken being sold in stores. It doesn’t matter if it’s white or dark meat – odds are it’s covered in feces! We know because we hired independent investigators to buy chicken from stores around the country and test it for the presence of fecal matter. What they found was stomach churning!
You’ll also learn the filthy facts about “fecal soup.” It’s far from being good for the soul, but is found in poultry processing plants nationwide.
Dr. Barnard and Chuck also detail why the safety measures currently in place to prevent feces from contaminating your food are failing miserably.
Mark Kennedy, the Physicians Committee’s Vice President of Legal Affairs, tries to clean up the dirty talk by detailing a lawsuit filed against the USDA that is dominating headlines! The Washington Post, Fox News, USA Today, The Daily Mail, and dozens of other outlets are reporting on the Physicians Committee’s suit that seeks to force the agency to step up its game and stop ignoring concerns over fecal contamination.
But poop isn’t the only concern when it comes to chicken. Dr. Steve Neabore returns to the show to discuss how cooking meat over an open flame causes cancer-causing compounds to form. Plus, you’ll find out which meat has the highest levels of carcinogens.

True story: A woman is overjoyed to learn that not only is she pregnant, but that she’s carrying twins. Then doctors make a devastating discovery. One of the children has developed a fatal birth defect and will not survive long outside the womb. The news is soul crushing.
But the woman and her husband are determined that their child’s life, however brief, will have great purpose. Prior to giving birth, they arrange to donate the boy’s eyes, organs, and blood to medical research. And the impact of those gifts would turn out to be extraordinary.
Countless lives are now being positively impacted because of the couple’s heart-wrenching decision. Indeed, his short life touched more people than many who inhabit the earth for 80 years or longer.
They did not realize it at the time, but the impact would also extend beyond human life as the lives of countless animals would also be spared because of the donations.
On this special episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll sits down Sarah Gray who details an emotional journey that began before birth and continued on long after the death of her son, Thomas, as she tracked down the researchers were using the organs as part of trailblazing medical science.
Gray has also chronicled the story in the book A Life Everlasting, which she dedicated to Thomas.
Chuck is also joined by Kristie Sullivan who is the Vice President of Research Policy for the Physicians Committee. She has interesting insight on the specific diseases that are benefitting from organ and tissue donation, including the leading forms of cancer.
Kristie also details how animals can be spared from medical research because of your decision to donate!

Let's say you're super hungry. Would you feel fuller after eating a veggie burger or a traditional hamburger? You're about to find out!
In this episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast, meat and plants duke it out in a head-to-head battle to satisfy hunger.
Join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll as he sits down with Dr. Hana Kahleova to discuss her study that crowns a king in this burger battle.
Dozens of men ate a regular cheeseburger and a veggie burger and asked to rate which one filled them up the most. No spoilers here, but it was clear that there is an undisputed burger champion for satisfying hunger!
Dr. Kahleova will explain how the winning burger triggered a bigger release of appetite regulating hormones that kept the men feeling full for a longer period of time. The study offers promising results for long-term weight loss and managing and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases.
Dietician Lee Crosby, known to listeners as "The Fiber Queen," also returns to the show to go in depth about the role fiber played in the burger study and how it helps to keep hunger pains from striking. She covers all things fiber from A-Z!
Then, if you're thinking about going vegan but don't know how, dietician Minh Nguyen from The Barnard Medical Center makes his Exam Room debut to talk about a two-day program that will teach you everything you need to know about making the switch.
The Kickstart Intensive will be held May 10-11 in Washington, DC and will walk you through the transition step-by-step. You'll learn everything from how a plant-based diet can help you lose weight and combat disease to what to buy on your first trip to the grocery store as a vegan. Plus, Lee, Minh, Dr. Neal Barnard and others will be giving presentations to get you going on your journey. Chuck will also be speaking!
Discounted registration fees are available until April 26.

What if the whole world went vegan?! It’s an intriguing question with the answer impacting both our health and that of the environment. Indeed, it is a win-win!
In this episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast, Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the enormous environmental implications of adopting a plant-based diet. Thirty percent of total greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to food production with animal products accounting for the majority of that, according to leading scientific researchers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Dr. Barnard and Chuck also review a study where researchers determined what would happen if everyone on the planet adopted a plant-based diet by 2050. What they found will not only help the environment and improve human health, but it can also save more than a trillion dollars.
Then, Chuck sits down with Gwynn Whittaker who left a lucrative career in the IT and national security fields behind after prematurely losing her fiancé to heart attack. She now devotes her time to improving the health and quality of life others so they don’t have to suffer the same loss. Whittaker has opened a whole-food plant-based restaurant, GreenFare Organic Café, just outside Washington, D.C. where hundreds have completed the Physicians Committee’s 21-day Vegan Kickstart that is offered there. Many have gone from couch potatoes to avid marathoners and have significantly improved their chances of living a long and healthy life!
Whittaker is also gearing up for Fairfax VegFest on April 13 where Dr. Barnard, Dr. Jim Loomis, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell will be speaking. Dietician and frequent guest of The Exam Room regular Lee Crosby will also be lecturing on ‘The Truth About Keto Diets’ and Chuck will be recording episodes of the podcast live!

Is there a difference between the fat found in an avocado and the fat found in a hamburger? What about the fat from nuts and the fat from bologna?
That’s what we’re going to find out on this episode of The Exam Room™ as Dr. Hana Kahleova sits down with the “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss her groundbreaking research on both the quality and quantity of fat consumption in a vegan diet. What happened to the health and waistlines of participants over the course of a 16-week study was quite remarkable!
Then Dr. Steve Neabore travels back in time to when Chuck still weighed 420 pounds to perform an examination. At that point, his uncontrolled blood pressure was 190/110 and he was first given medication to treat hypertension in high school. Cholesterol and blood sugar were also trending in the wrong direction as was his waist, which had expanded to 66 inches around.
Dr. Neabore explains the metabolic damage being caused by the extreme high-fat diet and discusses exactly what is happening in the body as the chest begins to tighten and it becomes difficult to breathe even when taking just a few steps. What do the arteries look like at this point? How hard is the heart having to work?
Then the focus turns to gut bacteria as Dr. Leigh Frame joins the show to talk about the wildly popular research that’s being done on microbiome. Scientists are finding that the link between health and the gut is even stronger than we thought thanks to advancements in DNA research. Fun fact: no two people have the exact same gut microbiome profile. So, what’s in your gut is as unique as your fingerprint. But how will that fingerprint change if you drink green tea or red wine or switch to a plant-based diet? Find out!

Does the Keto Diet really have such a smelly side effect?! A growing chorus of women are claiming that they have developed a very foul odor in an intimate area since going on the high-fat high-protein diet. There are so many stories out there that the Internet is now referring to the phenomenon as “keto crotch.”
But are these claims real or does this stink of a phony urban legend?
Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and plant-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Christie Cobb as they sniff out what’s fact and what’s fiction.
Plus, dietitian Lee Crosby returns to the show to talk about other proven side effects of Keto, including constipation, the “keto flu” and a little unpleasant something called “disaster pants!”

She was so fired up to go plant-based that she tattooed the word “vegan” on her arm. And that was before all animal products had been eliminated from her diet. She just knew that she wanted to do it. And, boy did she ever!
That is Starla Maurer. Her energy is infectious and her zest for life is unrivaled.
The fitness instructor thought she was making a change to save her own life, but little did she know that it would be her husband whose life would ultimately need saving.
It was their wedding anniversary and Starla was only a few weeks into her plant-based journey. But rather than celebrate their union and her new quest for health, fate would cruelly intervene as doctors gave the Maurers news that rocked them to the core. Rick had colon cancer and would need to begin treatment immediately.
What happened next is one of the most remarkable stories ever shared on The Exam Room podcast.
Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll as he sits down with Starla and Rick as well as Dr. Hana Kahleova as they relive an incredible journey filled with unimaginable lows and unparalleled heights.

Who wants to grow old?! Anti-aging is a multi-billion dollar industry filled with millions of can't miss gadgets and creams, all promising to wash away blemishes and smooth out wrinkles. There are the countless procedures to keep us looking 20 years younger than the birthdate on our driver’s license. We are terrified of showing our years and fork over hundreds of dollars for tiny jars of magical elixirs to keep Father Time at bay.
But what if the fountain of youth isn't actually as seen on TV? What if it's hiding in plain sight in the grocery store among the apples and oranges, the spinach and kale, and the vast colors of the produce section?
On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova and Dr. Asha Subramanian to talk about how the foods we eat can help keep us looking and feeling younger. On the flip side, it can also speed up the aging process and in many cases shed years from our life instead of adding them.
Topics covered:
- The life expectancy of vegans and vegetarians compared to omnivores.
- How overweight and obese teens face an increased risk of early death.
- How eating meat appears to cause early puberty among young girls.
- How dairy products affect the aging process.
- How eating a high-fiber diet improves the odds of living disease-free late in life.
- How eating a plant-based diet can be especially beneficial for middle-aged adults at risk of heart disease.
- How what we eat can impact the actual size of the brain.
- How eating trans fats negatively impacts memory ability, even in young adults.
- How food can help maintain good vision as we grow older.

To say that we are a bacon obsessed culture would be a gross understatement. In fact, 43% of Canadians would rather eat bacon than have sex, according to a 2010 study! Another 25% of adults worried that their significant other loved bacon more than they loved them.
Reality check: If you believe that your partner would honestly pick bacon over you then it’s time to seriously reevaluate the relationship! But the study also goes to show just how deep our love of bacon runs.
In this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll interviews Dr. Neal Barnard who explains the very scientific reason for our infatuation. Our brains are hard-wired to fall in love the salt and grease that is found abundantly in the popular, yet dangerous breakfast meat. Factor in the pinch of sugar found in a lot of bacon and the love connection gets even stronger!
While you may love bacon, bacon certainly doesn’t love you back. Dr. Barnard also discusses the long-term health risks associated with eating it, including a substantially higher risk of developing cancer. Did you know that eating just two strips per day increases raises the risk of colorectal cancer by nearly 20%? And the more you eat, the greater the risk becomes of dying from other cancers as well as heart disease.
The good news for bacon lovers is that there are plant-based alternatives that have all of the flavor but none of the risk.
Dietician Maggie Neola joins Chuck to share four of the tastiest vegan bacon recipes you’ll ever find! We’re talking about “bacon and eggs,” BLTs, “bacon burgers” and even “bacon bits” for topping salads!
Plus, they do a head-to-head nutritional comparison of pork and the plant-based bacon that you have to hear to believe.
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, Maggie is available for consultation at the Barnard Medical Center.

What if losing weight doesn’t mean cutting back on portion sizes? Is there a way to really eat more but weigh less?
That’s what “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll explores on this episode of The Exam Room™.
The concept may sound too good to be true, but Dr. Steve Neabore sits down with Chuck to explore the science behind a plant-based diet and why many stop counting calories altogether once they’ve adopted it. Dr. Neabore also shows how empty the stomach looks after consuming 500 calories of oil, meat, or dairy compared to the same amount of calories from fruits and vegetables. The difference is amazing.
Then, dietician Maggie Neola returns to the show with a head-to-head comparison of some of America’s most popular foods. How does the fat and calories found in the traditional recipes compare to the equally tasty vegan versions? In many instances you can save hundreds of calories by simply choosing the plant-based option!
As you’ll hear, the benefits also extend beyond the new-and-improved person you see in the mirror. Opting for plant-based meals can also reduce cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer while increasing your life expectancy. Who wouldn’t want to stick around a few more years after losing all that weight?!
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Neabore and Maggie Neola are available for consultation at the Barnard Medical Center.

Food addiction can be as powerful as any drug on the street. In this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll opens up about a nearly three-decade battle with food addiction that nearly claimed his life. He struggled to “diet” at 420 pounds and experienced withdrawal symptoms when he tried to go without fast food. His body would ache, and he became filled will anger. At one point, he became so infuriated without his “fix” that he violently punched his fist through a wall before sneaking out in the middle of the night to find a 24-hour drive-thru and quiet the unrelenting rage.
But why does this happen? Dr. Neal Barnard joins the show to explain how the brain reacts similarly to certain foods and narcotics. There is a reason that we crave high-fat and high-calorie foods. Our brain loves them! And it’s not just people like Chuck who reach 400 pounds or more. There are others who might appear healthy but can be a chocoholic or obsessed with bacon.
Dr. Barnard reveals that the parallel between food and drug addiction is so great that a chocolate addict’s cravings can be reduced by Narcan, which is a medicine used to treat opioid overdoses.
And what is it about cheese that makes it so hard to live without? There’s an opioid link there too!
But the biggest question is how do you beat food addiction? How can you break up with bacon and give cheeseburgers the boot? Dr. Barnard and Chuck outline the steps you can take to kick the habit and reclaim your health.
You’ll also hear from Sarah Fraser, who is a popular media personality in the Washington, DC area and host of the Hey Frase podcast. Like Chuck, her battle with food addiction began at a young age and grew worse over time. She talks about overcoming the emotional hurt caused by body shaming and taking control of her weight by practicing mindful eating and turning to a plant-based diet. She’s now loud and proud 24/7, as any of her listeners will tell you!

When things aren’t working like they should in bed, men should be turning to vegetables and not Viagra, according to numerous studies. Indeed, science shows the lasting cure for erectile dysfunction is more likely to be found in the refrigerator than in the medicine cabinet.
In this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and Dr. Steve Neabore dive into the cause of the embarrassing problem and explore how a plant-based diet can bring spice back into your love life. Dr. Neabore also explains how the same narrowing of arteries that can cause a heart attack can also lead to sexual performance issues. You’ll also learn how popular tiny blue medication works and compare its effectiveness to a daily infusion of fruits and vegetables.
Then, just in time for Valentine’s Day, dietitian Lee Crosby reveals the best foods for lowering the risk of heart disease and lowering blood pressure. You will learn why the risk is nearly cut in half by adopting a plant-based diet and the jaw-dropping cost of preventable cardiovascular surgery.

Plus, a very special PSA from Dr. Neal Barnard.
You don’t have to be an Olympic caliber athlete to reap the benefits of a plant-based diet! In this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, find out why athletes from 8 to 80 years old are gaining an edge by taking meat and dairy off the table.
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. James Loomis, medical director of the Barnard Medical Center, and dietitian Susan Levin who are co-authors of a new review scrutinizing food and athletic performance. Their findings point to some of the strongest links yet between diet and post-workout recovery.
Chuck also sits down with a man who is living proof that plant-based eating can help make even the grandest of athletic dreams come true. Eric O’Grey returns to the show after qualifying for the elusive Boston Marathon. After losing 180 pounds and reversing Type 2 diabetes, Eric was blowing past runners many years younger than himself en route to punching a ticket to Boston and posting a personal-best time. And what happens to his body after the race is just as remarkable.
The other thing you should know about Eric: A doctor once told him to buy a grave plot because his poor health was driving him to an early grave. Talk about changing your life!

Aidan Gallagher is a young plant-based game changer! Not only is he a tv star, he’s also a heck of a musician who is already using his celebrity status to advocate for animal welfare and promote the health benefits of a vegan diet.
The 15-year-old is best known for starring on the long-running Nickelodeon show “Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn” as well as the Netflix series “The Umbrella Academy” but did you know that he’s also the youngest goodwill ambassador ever appointed by the United Nations thanks to his environmental advocacy? Not too bad for someone still a few years shy of college age!
He joined “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll from his home in California to talk about keeping it plant-based on the set and in the music studio, “doing alright” in the kitchen, his philanthropic efforts, and his upcoming EP, Blue Neon.
Then, Chuck learns about the big impact that one small device — about the size of your finger — is going to have on the future of healthcare as he’s joined in-studio by Kristie Sullivan, M.P.H. Kristie is the Vice President of Research Policy with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and an expert on the modern medical marvel known as organ-on-a-chip!
The device can replicate human organs and give researchers insight on how cells will respond to prospective medication! Not only will it accelerate the speed at which new medicine becomes available, but it is also expected to bring the skyrocketing cost of healthcare back down to earth. The organ-on-a-chip will also eliminate the need for animal testing in drug trials.
Research combining artificial intelligence and heart-on-a-chip technology was recently profiled in the media.

Harley Quinn Smith is a budding rock star, up and coming actress, animal welfare advocate and one seriously devoted vegan!
She made national headlines recently after encouraging her father, director Kevin Smith, to adopt a plant-based diet following a near-fatal heart attack. Now, Harley Quinn joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll in the Hollywood Hills to reveal that he isn’t the only one in the family whom she inspired to go vegan!
She also shares her own heartwarming story of how adopting a rescued rabbit changed her life and opened her own eyes to the compassion and health benefits that accompany a plant-based lifestyle. And she has some great advice for starting a conversation with friends and family who are skeptical about removing meat and dairy from their diet.
Be sure to check out her band, The Tenth. They're releasing their debut album, Dunes, on February 10!
Also on the show are two of the most motivating gentlemen you will ever meet. Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro work tirelessly to improve the lives of thousands that have been diagnosed with diabetes. But what makes them such beacons of hope is that their passion stems from their own experiences with the disease.
Both were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a young age. But rather than cower and let the disease dictate how they live their life, they seized control and refused to throw in the towel.
Today, their enthusiasm and zest for life is contagious and it's impossible not to get fired up while listening to the way their helping people reclaim their health.

Maggie Q is a plant-based megastar! The talented actress, best known for starring in hit TV show Designated Survivor and the Insurgent movie series, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on location in Los Angeles to talk about keeping it plant-based in Hollywood.
Her talents don’t end when the cameras stop rolling. Away from the set, she’s quite the extraordinary cook! The way her non-vegan dinner guests react to her plant-based dinners is uncanny and since she adopted a plant-based diet 20 years ago, it’s a long list of names who have walked away with blown minds to complement their full bellies.
Maggie Q is also a devoted animal and human rights advocate. She shares with Chuck how it was those passions that led her to stop eating meat so long ago.
Also, on the show, you’ll hear from someone at the forefront of the future of nutrition and medicine. Dr. Robin Ortiz brings her passion and infectious energy to The Exam Room™ to talk about her transformation from a (semi) rebellious teenager to a doctor with a keen eye for all things plant-based.
She gives her thoughts on the lack of nutrition education in medical school and talks about being viewed as a “hippy doc” by her colleagues because of her diet. But Dr. Ortiz’s endless supply of optimism and an increasing amount research is proving that she’s on the right track.

Everything you need to know about going vegan you will learn in this show as Drs. Michael Greger, Neal Barnard and Jasmol Sardana join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™!
This jam-packed show will help you make this the healthiest year of your life.
Dr. Greger will share how not to diet! At a time when we’re spending billions of dollars every year to lose weight only to get heavier and heavier, Dr. Greger clues us in on where we’re going wrong as he talks about his new book, How Not To Diet. He gives advice on the best and worst time to eat, why gut bacteria is so important for weight loss, and how eating fewer calories without going hungry can extend your life!
Then, Dr. Sardana joins Chuck for Vegan 101 to answer the basic questions like “how do I get started” and “what steps should I take first?” She also helps us discover our “why” for change, which is almost as important as the how when taking charge of our health.
For the advanced course, Chuck revisits a conversation with Dr. Barnard that shatters myths about vegan diets! These are many of the same falsehoods that have prevented people from making the switch — everything from getting enough nutrients to athletic performance. And once all of that has been put to bed, Dr. Barnard reveals the health benefits of eating a plant-based diet that can make this your healthiest year ever.

Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll as he revisits the most inspirational figures of 2018.
After being diagnosed with diabetes, former star football player Marc Ramirez refused to accept the same fate that claimed the lives of two family members and crippled the bodies of others. He is proof that genetics are not destiny.
Josh LaJaunie was more than 200 pounds overweight and felt trapped inside of a body that seemed destined for an early grave. But he was able to break free of his unhealthy prison and transform himself into an elite runner who now is inspiring thousands to lead healthier lives.
The ageless mother-daughter duo of Tracye and Mary McQuirter are turning back the hands of time. Both are turning heads and freely boasting about their age. And you would too if you looked and felt 20 years younger than you actually are!
After experiencing extreme pain in her breast, doctors discovered a lump in Lee Crosby’s breast. Barely 30 years old, she was terrified of becoming a statistic. But she beat back that fear and used her experience to create a bright future for herself as a highly sought-after dietician.
Evan Bass struggled mightily with his weight. His short stature and large frame made him an easy target for cowardly critics with sharp tongues. He was frequently on the receiving end of cruel comments and cold stares while battling a severe food addiction. But what nobody knew, not even Evan, was that lying dormant inside of him was unparalleled willpower to turn his life around. He’s now a modern-day Rocky with a refuse to lose attitude.
All of them have one thing in common: they adopted to a plant-based diet.

In this special episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down to dinner with television news producer Justin Stewart, who has never eaten a plant-based meal in their life, let alone for Thanksgiving! We pulled out all the stops for this and had the food catered by Michael Moon of the Washington-based DC Vegan, who whipped up an out of this world feast of veganized classics!
Will the plant-based mac and “cheese,” green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie be able to satisfy a skeptic? Let the games begin!
Plus, surviving Thanksgiving can be tough for many who are plant-based. With only three percent of Americans identifying as vegan, there’s a good chance that somewhere at their table will be looking forward to turkey.
Unfortunately, a relative or friend who doesn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to put the bird on the plate can come across as being pushy and overbearing. The pressure can be enough to make you want to pluck out your own hair.
We have some tips on how to not only cope with the pressure, to get the most stalwart turkey aficionados to take a closer look at the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Hopefully, this dialogue will lead to a more harmonious dinner and healthy conversation for dessert!
And yes, there are recipes!

Take a journey with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to a pumpkin paradise and learn everything there is to know about these delicious fall favorites. He travels to Butler’s Orchard, a 300-acre farm just outside of Washington, D.C. to speak with third-generation grower Ben Butler about picking the perfect pumpkin for both cooking and for carving. Plus, explore the growing process and take a trip inside of their massive farm store where you can find just about anything you want that’s made with pumpkin — even soap!
You’ll also learn about dozens of varieties of pumpkins and how a lot of them are downright bizarre! Some look like red neon mushrooms while others look like giant peanuts and something out of an alien invasion!

Fun fact: The can of pumpkin in your pantry may not actually be pumpkin at all. You’ll find out why on the show!

Certain foods can not only help prevent breast cancer but can also dramatically improve the odds of survival once a person is diagnosed. Conversely, other foods have been proven to increase the risk of developing the disease.
In this very special edition of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. Neal Barnard to discover the foods that have strong cancer-fighting properties and which foods to avoid to keep the risk of developing the disease as low as possible.
Dr. Barnard also shares how a recent flight got him to re-examine the way we view breast cancer awareness. It is critically important that we continue searching for a cure, but he says there should also be an increased emphasis on preventing the disease. Studies show that many of the nearly 41,000 estimated deaths in the U.S. in 2018 are preventable through diet and lifestyle changes.
Also, Dr. Asha Subramanian returns to the program to discuss breast cancer from not just the perspective of a physician, but also from that of a woman and mother.
Dr. Subramanian and Chuck then touch on how a plant-based diet can significantly lower the risk of developing breast cancer, even in women with a strong genetic link to the disease. The effects of age, obesity, race, and animal fat is also examined.

An apple can be ideal snack when you’re trying to lose weight, but its health benefits go way beyond keeping a slim waist. In fact, apples are packed with tons of nutrients that can help improve your health and keep the doctor away.
In this episode, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with dietitian Susan Levin to discover everything that makes up an apple and how each of those vitamins and minerals can affect your health. We’re talking about everything from fiber to calcium to amino acids to vitamins A-K and the THREE forms of sugar found in apples!
But what about that sugar? Doesn’t an apple have the same amount as a candy bar? Yes, but keep in mind comparing the two is like comparing … well, apples and candy bars. The way your body processes the natural sugar found in fruit and the refined sugar found in many candies is night and day.
Fun fact: Apples contain the amino acid tryptophan which is commonly blamed for causing drowsiness after Thanksgiving dinner.

Cooking without oil is a new practice for many of us. Who hasn’t been taught to add a splash of it to the pan before turning on the stove? And what about adding a spoonful to boiling water when making pasta? Indeed, whether it’s olive, vegetable or any other type of oil, it just seems to be in every recipe in the book.
Since all oils are high in fat (1 gram of fat has nine calories) can be a problem for those trying to lose weight and maintain their overall health. Research also shows oil poses a significant risk to diabetics as it interferes with insulin’s ability to move glucose into the cells.
So, how can you cook without it?! “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and welcomes plant-based chef Dreena Burton to the show for a lesson. Dreena has collaborated with Dr. Neal Barnard on a number of projects, including his Cookbook For Reversing Diabetes.
Plus, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Chuck revisits an interview with dietician Lee Crosby, R.D., L.D. from an episode titled The Meat-Cancer Connection.
For Lee Crosby, R.D., L.D., the connection between meat and cancer hits close to home. The Barnard Medical Center dietician shares her own story of finding a lump in her breast at a young age and turning to a plant-based diet as a result. Following the dietary changes the mass showed no signs of growth. As time passed, she reverted back to the standard American diet only to have the lump quickly grow. The mass was then removed and now she’s now devoted 100 percent to a plant-based diet. The lump has not returned.
Lee will also share her delicious top 5 healthy meat substitutes.

You are about to learn the secret to living a long life!
“The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with longevity expert Dan Buettner to unlock the keys to not just longevity, but living healthier into old age. Buettner has devoted his life to exploring Blue Zones, which are the regions on earth where people have the longest average lifespan. And nutrition plays a critical role in outliving the typical person, often by a decade or longer despite genetics.
Some of the people he’s encountered are living as though they’re 50 years younger. In fact, one Loma Linda, California-based cardiologist was still conducting open heart surgery well into his 90’s. The doctor credits a vegan diet for his superior health and steady hand at an advanced age.
Chuck also sits down with longevity expert Dr. Brad Willcox. The pair discuss the role diet plays in reducing inflammation and warding off debilitating disease such as arthritis. Willcox has also spent a great deal of time studying the habits of Okinawa, Japan residents where the average lifespan is nearly five years great than in America. He was part of the team that published the groundbreaking Okinawa Centenarian Study on long life.

Is it healthy for a child be vegan and not eat meat or dairy? Will they still get all of the vitamins and nutrients they need? Despite what you might have heard from skeptics, the answer to both is YES!
In fact, the vegan kid in school probably isn’t alone anymore. With an increasing number of adults turning to a plant-based diet, it is a logical assumption that their offspring are following suit. They’re not the “weird kid” anymore!
The reality is that the current standard American diet is failing our children and the rate of childhood obesity has skyrocketed over the last half-century. Meanwhile, plant-based diets have been proven time and again to be great for weight loss.
Currently, one out of five kids is considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sadly, many of these children are now facing some very adult problems, including high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and even heart disease.

Josh LaJaunie is a man who no longer believes in the word “impossible.” He no longer thinks he can achieve a goal; he knows that he will. It’s a critical distinction that the Louisiana native discovered while doing what he believed to be impossible at the time. Josh achieved a lifelong dream of shedding a massive 400-pound frame and becoming the person he always believed he could be, inside and out.

After the latter marched to an improbable Super Bowl victory, he began developing a game plan of his own. It wasn’t long before he stepped out of his front door and went for a run. Shortly thereafter, he ran his first race and hasn’t ever slowed down. To date, he’s run thousands of miles and has is now at the forefront of the plant-based movement among athletes.
