Learn the secrets to improving your health from doctors and nutritionists and become inspired by others who have already reclaimed their health!

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