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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Processed Foods Survey https://bit.ly/procfoodsurvey — — — Gregory J.

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! This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J.

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.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Prostate Cancer Resources https://www.pcrm.org/health-topics/prostate-cancer — — — AHA Heart Disease Report https://doi.org/10.1161/CIR.0000000000001303 — — — Gregory J.

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.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Michelle Oberg IG: https://www.instagram.com/pizza_addict_to_vegan Website: https://pizzaaddicttovegan.blog — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck in Miami Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash Date: March 7, 2025 https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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. — — BOOKS — — The Power Foods Diet: https://amzn.to/3GmCxUj — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck Live Show Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami Date: March 7, 2025 Tickets: https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — SHOW LINKS — — Gregory J.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Dr. Steve Lome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrStevenLome IG: https://www.instagram.com/stevenlome Web: https://www.PBNM.org — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck in Miami Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash Date: March 7, 2025 https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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.

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.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Hospital Fast Food Survey Background: https://bit.ly/PCRMHospitalFoodSurvey Full survey: https://bit.ly/FastFoodHospitals2024 — — — Roxanne Becker, MBChB, DipIBLM Bio: https://www.pcrm.org/about-us/staff/roxanne-becker — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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.

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.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Take Action https://www.pcrm.org/HealthyStudents — — — Dr. Yami Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedoctoryami Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedoctoryami Website: https://www.doctoryami.com/ — — EVENTS — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC — Grand Hyatt Date: August 15-17 Who: Drs.

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. 🔗 SHOW LINKS 🔗 Alan Moor TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@speakupmoor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alanamoorspeaks Website: http://www.alanamoor.com COVID-19 Diet Study https://bit.ly/COVIDVegDietBMJ 🎟️ EVENTS 🎟️ International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC — Grand Hyatt Date: August 15-17 Who: Drs.

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.

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.

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.

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. — — STUDIES — — Vegan Diet Quality Study https://go.nature.com/48H1NkV — — EVENTS — — What: The Power Foods Revolution Where: Washington, DC - The National Press Club Date: March 26, 2024 Time: 7:00pm Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Chuck Carroll, Dustin Harder, Stefanie Ignoffo Tickets: https://bit.ly/PowerFoodsTixDC — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — FOLLOW US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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. — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — FOLLOW US — — Dr. Joel Fuhrman 5-Day Nutritarian Challenge: https://www.drfuhrman.com Retreats: https://www.drfuhrman.com/etlretreat Podcast - Eat To Live: https://spoti.fi/3vnqKmq Book - Eat For Life Book: https://amzn.to/421jiKd — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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! — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Benefits - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events The first interview is with Dr. Michael Greger on Nov. 20.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Vegan Diet Cost Study https://bit.ly/DietCostStudyPCRM — — — Plant Based On A Budget – Toni Okamoto Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McnChNTOYsw — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE with the Esselstyn Family Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveinDC23 Who: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn with Ann, Rip, and Jane.

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 Dr. Barnard will be speaking at the 2023 International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.

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.

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.

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. — — LAWSUIT — — https://bit.ly/SchoolMilkLawsuit — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE in New York Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveNYC2023 When: July 12 Where: Museum of the City of New York Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Rip Esselstyn, Dr. Robert Ostfeld, Chuck and others! — — — Planet Bethesda When: June 4 Where: Bethesda, MD Website: https://planetbethesda.com — — FOLLOW US — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy ​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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. --- --- --- Exam Room LIVE in LA Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Kristi Funk, Toni Okamoto from Plant-Based On A Budget, Samantha Harris from Dancing With The Stars, and surprise guests will be recording a special episode of The Exam Room LIVE in Los Angeles.

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.

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.

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. — — — ICNM Register: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm — — — Caryn Dugan Center for Plant-Based Living: https://www.cpbl-stl.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stl_veg_girl Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/stlveggirl Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stlveggirl Website: http://www.stlveggirl.com — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — Diabetes Resources https://www.pcrm.org/diabetes — — — Lauren Kretzer Interview https://youtu.be/2IkcezRerj0 — — — Insulin Cost Report https://bit.ly/3yAmXQv — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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. — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Dr. Matthew Nagra Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/dr.matthewnagra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.matthewnagra — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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. — — — Watch This Interview https://youtu.be/SJjeaTFPcBQ — — — Article: Are Restaurants Exacerbating the Obesity Epidemic? https://bit.ly/3mmphG0 — — — Fruitive Menu: https://fruitive.com/menu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fruitive Twitter: https://twitter.com/fruitive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fruitive — — — Dr. Vanita Rahman Simply Plant Based Cookbook: https://amzn.to/3zAu4YB Instagram: https://instagram.com/dr.vanita.rahman Twitter: https://twitter.com/DocVanita — — — Food and Health Facts Newsletter Web: https://foodandhealthfacts.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/FoodHealthFacts — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

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.
