Promising New Research: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Plant-Based Diets
Doctors may soon be prescribing plants instead of pills to treat arthritis. On this episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to discuss why people with rheumatoid arthritis are turning to a vegan diet. Her team of researchers examined scores of studies on the topic and published a review showing very promising results. In fact, Dr. Kahleova says that there have been cases where patients have completely reversed RA after adopting a plant-based diet! That’s sweet relief for the millions living with the disorder who have painfully inflamed and in many cases crippled joints. Chuck is also joined by Melissa Sherlock who is a mover and shaker in a town made famous by its steak. She’s finding that her meat heavy town also has big appetite for plants! She’s changing lives and changing minds one class at a time as a Food For Life instructor even when lifelong meat eaters come in vowing not to change.

How Orange Foods Fight Cancer
Beta-carotene is a cancer-fighting heavyweight! So, to honor this powerhouse nutrient we’re re-thinking pink. In fact, we’re changing our colors altogether to conclude our series on breast cancer. Because on this episode of The Exam Room™ orange is the new pink! “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll sits down with dietician Susan Levin who explains how the same nutrient that gives orange foods their color also helps hunt cancer cells in the body. Susan, who is director of nutrition education for the Physicians Committee, also reveals the foods with the most beta-carotene that you should be putting on your plate. Chuck is then joined by Jessie Davidson who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 28 years old. Jessie was a newlywed, having tied the knot less than a year earlier, but instead of having the world in the palm of her hand, it was turned upside down. But Jessie was relentless in her fight and shares how she faced her fears to pull through. A big part of that was discovering a plant-based diet and the link between cancer and the food in her kitchen. Dr. Kristi Funk then steps back into The Exam Room™ with her fourth and final step of the Let's Beat Breast Cancer guide — keeping a healthy weight. You’ll learn how carrying around extra pounds can increase the odds of getting cancer and why eating high-fat foods causes a woman’s body to produce excessive amounts of cancer-promoting estrogen.

Does Soy Really Cause Cancer?
Does soy really cause breast cancer? We discover the truth on this episode of The Exam Room podcast! Dozens of studies are reviewed on as “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by dietitian Lee Crosby who will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about soy. Is it a cancer fighting powerhouse or a cancer causing calamity? We have an answer! Chuck is also joined by breast cancer survivor Christine Collins who shares her triumphant story. The mother of two young daughters had her world turned upside down when she was diagnosed and was rocked even harder when doctors discovered the cancer far was more advanced than originally thought.

Dr. Kristi Funk steps back in The Exam Room with Chuck to discuss the third of four steps to reducing your risk of cancer as part of the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign: limiting the amount of alcohol you drink.

When Pink Ribbons Push Carcinogens with Dr. Neal Barnard
Dr. Neal Barnard steps into The Exam Room with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll! Every October it seems as though everything is awash in pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. However, Dr. Barnard explains that sometimes these well-intentioned efforts badly miss the mark. Remember when KFC had a pink bucket of chicken? What about the airline selling a pink martini to raise funds for breast cancer research? More recently, a sausage company announced plans for a "cure campaign." The problem is that all of these products have been shown to increase the risk of developing cancer and some have been classified directly as being carcinogenic to humans. It's like selling a pack of cigarettes to raise money for lung cancer research. Dr. Barnard ponders a new way to think pink, one that stresses prevention rather than treatment! Dr. Kristi Funk then joins Chuck to discuss the first of four steps outlined in the Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign — eating a plant-based diet! How is it that the nutrients in plants can unlock such powerful cancer-fighting capability?

Debunking Myths with Dr. Neal Barnard & Dr. Robert Ostfeld
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. As you’ll hear, the conclusion was drawn after researchers adjusted data from the study. Find out why this happened as Dr. Barnard sheds light on this method as well as a conversation he had with the authors of the study. You’ll also learn the difference between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes and how the risk differs for meat eaters compared to those who eat a plant-based diet.

Losing Weight and Changing Lives
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.

Game Changing Science: The Truth About Vegan Athletes
“Someone asked me how could you get as strong as an ox without eating meat? My answer was, ‘have you ever seen an ox eating meat?’” - Patrik Baboumian, record-setting Strongman, from The Game Changers. That is the epiphany of a hulking gentleman who squats the equivalent of five kegs of beer or two and half full-grown panda bears. Baboumian is truly one of the strongest men in the world and he is fueled exclusively a vegan diet. On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll goes one-on-one with Dr. Jim Loomis who is featured in The Game Changers documentary. For years he was tasked with keeping million dollar athletes healthy as a team physician for both the St. Louis Cardinals baseball franchise as well as the Rams NFL franchise. Loomis reveals the mind-boggling list of foods the average player will eat on game day and why switching their diet could improve their performance on the field. More importantly, he also details how he overcame a series of health issues after switching to a plant-based diet himself. The change was so dramatic that he was able to complete an iron man triathlon shortly after his 60th birthday! We also hear from a young man who is trying a plant-based diet for the first time. He is fairly athletic, loves to play sports recreationally, and looking for a little bit of an edge. So what will he discover? Find out with us as we track his “vegan curious” journey.

Eric O'Grey is the embodiment of inspiration! For years he struggled with obesity and was on mountains of medications to treat type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. At one point a doctor even told him to buy a cemetery plot because a grave would be his next stop. Then he found another doctor who gave him two more prescriptions that would save his life: adopt a plant-based diet and a dog. Both he and the dog slimmed down and Eric is no longer on any medication. Chuck welcomes Eric back to the show to talk about his extraordinary accomplishment and for the first time they are joined by the doctor whom he credits with saving his life, Dr. Preeti Kulkarni!
