	10 May 2019	Why Won’t My Doctor Talk About My Diet?	00:52:58
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. This episode originally aired on Facebook Live.

	07 Jan 2025	Pizza Addict Loses Over 70 Pounds By Going Vegan \| Michelle Oberg	00:55:24
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.

	24 Jul 2019	Paleo Diet: Is It Healthy?	00:56:42
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.

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!

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. The Food Revolution Summit featuring Dr. Barnard and two dozen of the world’s leading experts on nutrition will be held online beginning April 27.

	30 Jan 2025	Foods That Help Prevent Prostate Cancer \| Dr. Neal Barnard	00:30:09
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.

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.

A hospital is supposed to be a place of healing and a pillar of health. Yet, many are serving the foods that may have helped land the patient in the operating room.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

	18 Sep 2019	Losing Weight and Changing Lives	01:24:16
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! -- Follow Us -- Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Weight Loss Program https://wghtloss.cc/2mfHGaT Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.

	09 Jul 2024	Finding Purpose In Prison: Healthier Body and Mind \| Alana Moor	01:27:15
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.

	28 Jan 2020	How To Beat Diabetes By Changing Your Diet: Your Body In Balance	01:17:25
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. Order The Book https://amzn.to/2ZYYfaU About The Book http://bit.ly/bodybalancebook In Your Body in Balance, Dr. Barnard describes how food and hormones play a powerful role in: - Fertility and menopause: Learn how foods affect the hormones that play a role in fertility, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, menstrual cramps, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

	03 Sep 2024	Olive Oil Overhyped? Expert Study Finally Reveals The Answer \| Dr. Monica Aggarwal	00:34:38
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

	03 Apr 2019	Fat & Gut Bacteria	01:15:08
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!

	28 Feb 2023	Heart of a Survivor: Near Death to Eating to Live \| Tony and Rachel Schiera	00:46:55
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.
