Host: David DeRose, MD, MPH. Guest: Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, Director of Clinical Research, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Description: Prior to European contact, many Native American tribes thrived on largely plant-based diets. Dr. Hana Kahleova shares cutting-edge research about some of the many benefits of such diets, including weight loss, diabetes reversal, and help for depression.

 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. 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 — — African Diet Study https://go.nature.com/3YJ3PxT — — — Gregory J.

Heart disease is the number one killer. But what if you could know your risk factors far in advance? Some cutting-edge tests are changing the game in cardiovascular health, and they're more accessible than you might think.  In this episode, Dr. Joel Kahn sheds light on the critical role of early detection and intervention in preventing heart disease. Dr. Kahn, a leading cardiologist, emphasizes the significance of identifying atherosclerosis, the primary culprit behind heart disease, through advanced technology scans before you start feeling any symptoms.  Listen to this episode and start preventing rather than lamenting your heart health! Episode Notes Dr. Joel Kahn stresses that even individuals with seemingly healthy lifestyles can have significant plaque buildup in their arteries, highlighting the importance of regular screenings.  Benefits of Coronary Artery Calcium Scans The Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan is a valuable tool for detecting plaque in the arteries, providing crucial insights into cardiovascular health. This scan is recommended for individuals at risk of heart disease, such as those with a family history of high cholesterol. Early detection through the CAC scan can help in developing preventive strategies and maintaining heart health. Detect Heart Disease Early Early detection of heart disease is crucial in preventing its potentially fatal consequences. Tools like the CAC scan and AI-assisted CT scans provide detailed information about cardiovascular health, enabling you to take proactive steps towards maintaining a healthy heart. Regular screening and early intervention can significantly improve cardiovascular health outcomes. Prevent Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, is a significant factor in heart disease and other health issues like erectile dysfunction. Regular screening, including the CAC scan, can help prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. By addressing risk factors and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of developing heart disease.

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.

Elon Musk's Cruel Brain Experiments are Under SEC Investigation “Musk deliberately lied to investors and patients,” says Ryan Merkley, director of research advocacy with the Physicians Committee. “We are glad the SEC is looking into this matter.” The SEC is investigating Elon Musk's company Neuralink, which since 2017, has subjected animals—including monkeys, pigs, rats, and sheep—to invasive, often deadly brain experiments. They just began human clinical trials.

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.

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.

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.

If a person is pre-diabetic and they want my advice, the very first thing I would say is don't eat anything with a mother. When I found out that animal products caused inflammatory responses in the body, I knew my issue was inflammation. I remembered someone said that you can heal your body with food. Found it, and that's what started my searching for a different way. It's weight, and it's health. If I had to choose between one or the other, I would take health in a minute. I don't know anyone in my personal life who eats better than I do, and there is no way that I want to go back to that chronic pain, constant pain.” -  Sharme Ridley   What we discuss in this episode: - Sharme's journey transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle and the lessons she learned. - Her insights on fasting and its role in her wellness routine. - Understanding autophagy: what it is and how it works. - Practical tips and strategies Sharme uses to stay on a healthy path. - Sharme's advice for those who are pre-diabetic. - Recommendations for new vegans or anyone curious about trying a vegan diet. - What a typical day of meals looks like for Sharme, along with some of her favorite dishes, go-to recipes, and how she keeps her meals flavorful and nutritious. - Tips for cooking without oil, including Sharme's sautéing techniques. - Sharme's work with CNS Kitchen.   Resources: - Sharme Ridley: https://nutritionstudies.org/author/sridley/ - Atlanta Creole: https://www.youtube.com/@AtlantaCreole/videos - Plant-based Atlanta Creole: https://www.facebook.com/atlantacreole/ - CNS Kitchen - cnskitchen.nutritionstudies.org - http://cnskitchen.nutritionstudies.org - WFPB Cooking: A Beginner's Course - https://nutritionstudies.org/courses/wfpb-cooking-beginners/ - WFPB Cooking: Meal Planning Made Easy - https://nutritionstudies.org/courses/wfpb-cooking-meal-planning/ - Get Ready for Thanksgiving! with Forks Over Knives Chef Del Sroufe - https://switch4good.org/get-ready-for-thanksgiving-with-forks-over-knives-chef-del-sroufe/ - Let's Eat with Forks Over Knives' Chef Del! - Switch4Good - https://switch4good.org/lets-eat-with-forks-over-knives-chef-del/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

Dilip Barman, a passionate advocate for plant-based living, has dedicated his life to transforming the way people view food and nutrition. As president of the Triangle Vegetarian Society, his work has reached thousands, inspiring healthier and more compassionate choices. Beyond his leadership, Dilip is also a Food for Life instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), where he educates communities on the profound health benefits of plant-based eating. His role as Director of Nutrition Education at Central Park School in North Carolina allows him to shape young minds and integrate plant-based principles into educational systems. With boundless energy and an unshakeable commitment, Dilip's work continues to reshape lives through the power of plants. A Journey Rooted in Vegetarianism Dilip's journey began with his parents, who were early immigrants from India. Raised in a vegetarian household, Dilip was introduced to meat as a child, but it was always accompanied by the ritual of washing hands and lips after consumption, reflecting his family's deep-seated cultural beliefs. This early exposure to vegetarianism set the stage for his eventual transition to veganism, driven initially by ethical concerns rather than health reasons. From Vegetarianism to Veganism: The Ethical Shift The transition from vegetarianism to veganism was a gradual process for Dilip. During his college years, a moment of reflection in a grocery store led him to give up meat, but it wasn't until he encountered a vegan Thanksgiving event that he started to seriously consider a fully plant-based diet. The literature and community he encountered there deepened his understanding, eventually leading him to give up dairy, a staple in his family's diet. His journey highlights the challenges and rewards of aligning one's ethical beliefs with dietary choices. Health Benefits: A Personal and Familial Perspective While Dilip's initial motivation for going vegan was ethical, he later observed significant health benefits. He shared anecdotes of how eliminating dairy from his diet led to a dramatic reduction in colds and flus, a benefit he has maintained for over 25 years. Furthermore, Dilip reflected on the health issues faced by his family members, many of whom were heavy dairy consumers. These observations reinforced his commitment to a plant-based lifestyle and his advocacy for others to consider the health benefits of such a diet. Code Blue: Advocating for Plant-Based Medicine Dilip's commitment to plant-based living extends beyond personal practice; he has also played a key role in broader advocacy efforts. As the executive producer of the film "Code Blue," Dilip helped bring to light the potential of a plant-based diet to prevent and reverse chronic diseases. The film follows Dr. Saray Stancic's journey of overcoming multiple sclerosis through a plant-based diet, emphasizing the transformative power of nutrition in managing and reversing serious health conditions. Educating the Next Generation: The Healthy Snack Program In addition to his advocacy work, Dilip has made significant contributions to nutrition education, particularly in schools. Although his role as the Director of Nutrition Education at the Central Park School in Durham, North Carolina, has been dormant since the pandemic, Dilip has successfully implemented the Healthy Snack Program in other schools across the country. This program provides teachers with the tools and resources to offer healthy, plant-based snacks to students, fostering a new generation of informed and healthy eaters. www.HealthScience.org/097-dilip-barman

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.
