 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.   — — 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 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.

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.   Join Chuck and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7!   — — 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.

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.   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.

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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Kirk Erickson, PhD Bio: https://www.adventhealthresearchinstitute.com/team/kirk-erickson-phd — — — Exercise As Medicine For The Brain Study: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/13/693 — — 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.

What if the answer wasn't just about dieting, but about making a lasting lifestyle change? In this episode of our podcast, we dive into the powerful story of Chuck Carroll, also known as “The Weight Loss Champion,” who lost an astonishing 280 pounds and transformed his life. Widely known as “The Weight Loss Champion,” Chuck once weighed 420 lbs at just 5'6” with a 66-inch waist. After countless failed attempts to lose weight, he decided to have weight loss surgery at 27, thinking it was his last chance. But the real transformation came when he adopted a plant-based diet and changed his lifestyle, which he credits for 90% of his success. Chuck is living proof that a plant-based diet is effective for losing weight and maintaining long-term health. Chuck shares how he overcame food addiction, the key moments that kept him on track, advice for those struggling with weight, and the surprising truths behind the fast food industry. He also discusses his work with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and how a plant-based diet helped him sustain his weight loss for over 15 years.
