Football Star to Plant-Based Sensation: The Gabriel Miller Story
Gabriel Miller dreamed of running onto the field Sunday afternoons in the fall as a player in the NFL. It seemed as though that dream was on the verge of coming true until a freak injury cut short his college football career. With one goal snatched away the 19-year-old set a new goal for himself, to be able to walk without the use of a walker. He was facing a lifetime of surgeries and debilitating pain unless he lost a significant amount of weight. There was only one problem. After gorging on the standard American diet for years (and then some) as a football player, he really had no clue how to do it. Then he had an epiphany. It was one word, really. Plants. On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Gabriel joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share what led him down that healthier path that didn't include countless medical procedures and unrelenting pain. Although he may not have achieved riches in the NFL, he has found abundant prosperity by sharing his story and helping others overcome their own health obstacles. This is one remarkable conversation. Plus, Dr. Jasmol Sardana joins the show as Chuck opens up the Doctor's Mailbag to answer your health and nutrition questions. - Is it better to get too much sodium or too little? - Is orange juice actually healthy? - Are agave and maple syrup healthier than sugar? - Are there foods people with eczema should avoid? - What can be used for salad dressing that is low fat and vegan?

Change What You Eat, Change Your Risk of Having a Stroke
Every 40 seconds someone in America will have a stroke. That adds up to 800,000 people every year. And of those, 140,000 will die. With those numbers, it’s no surprise that strokes rank among the top five leading causes of death in the U.S. But how many lives could be saved with diet and lifestyle changes? More than you would think! On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Vanita Rahman joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss how steering clear of the high fat standard American diet can significantly improve your chances of never having a stroke. Also, Chuck is joined by a very special stroke survivor who shares how a trip to the gym eight years ago turned into a stay in the hospital and lengthy recovery. Julie Wright is a well known television personality in the Washington, DC area who was in the middle of training for an upcoming race when the stroke hit out of nowhere. She also happens to be Chuck’s wife. The incident turned her life upside down for months and forced her to closely examine what she was eating. However, she says food was never discussed by her doctors and it wasn’t until she began searching for healthier options on her own that she made the connection. Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard offers his advice to an Exam Room listener who recently adopted a plant-based diet and wanted some ideas about losing weight besides avoiding high fat nuts and seeds. If you would like to submit a question for the doctor please tweet @ChuckCarrollWLC or @PCRM using the hashtag #ExamRoomPodcast. This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s love for animals by promoting plant-based health and working to end animal abuse.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell: The China Study and the Coronavirus
Have we known the roadmap to treat the COVID-19 virus all along? Dr. T. Colin Campbell joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss how his groundbreaking research for The China Study decades ago may have provided a key to a better prognosis for today’s coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Campbell is confident that there is enough evidence to make a strong hypothesis about the steps people should be taking to combat the virus. And is it a coincidence that the United States has more total cases of COVID-19 than any other country in the world while also staking claim to one of the highest obesity rates? Dr. Campbell and Chuck also ponder how the standard American diet might be fueling the pandemic in the U.S. Plus, filmmaker Nelson Campbell, founder of Plant Pure Nation, follows his father on the show to discuss the efforts he and his team are making to help during the pandemic, including a global program designed to encourage people to change their diet. His goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge worldwide to help people grow into healthier lives. “The diet that will prevent and reverse chronic disease, it stands to reason that it would also help with infectious disease. Health is health is health no matter what you’re talking about with respect to your body,” Nelson Campbell said. — — — Plant Pure Communities Global Jumpstart: https://bit.ly/3czWI00 — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment: https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed — — — COVID-19 Resources PCRM: https://bit.ly/PCRMcovid CDC: https://bit.ly/33DXgyF WHO: https://bit.ly/33BSeTo COVID-19 Global Map: https://bit.ly/CVID19map Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.

Coronavirus Q&A III with Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Loomis
Dr. Neal Barnard is back on The Exam Room™ podcast to answer your coronavirus questions. He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll along with Dr. Jim Loomis for a wide ranging Q&A dedicated to keeping you and your family healthy and safe during this uncertain time. Among the questions answered: When a COVID-19 vaccine is developed will it offer lifelong immunity or be required annually? How can we get people to eat more fruit right now to improve their health? Should we avoid eating raw broccoli? Can the coronavirus enter your home through an open window? What can someone who eats primarily a plant-based diet do to lower their triglycerides? Should they be on medication, especially during the pandemic? We will also hear from Dr. Vanita Rahman about the future of medicine. Thousands are turning to online doctors visits in order to lower the risk of exposure to the coronavirus. Dr. Rahman and Chuck explore Telemedicine from top to bottom. Find out why these cyber visits can be just as effective as trips to the doctor’s office and what happens when you need prescriptions and bloodwork.
