Healthy Holiday Tips with Audrey and Jeff Dunham
This is a jam-packed show with healthy holiday wisdom and a visit from Audrey and Jeff Dunham! It’s the most wonderful time of year… for gyms to sell memberships, and fad diet “gurus” to cash-in.

The Truth About Gluten!
Gluten-free diets are big business! We are spending billions of dollars each year on everything from gluten-free cereals to snacks to breads and desserts. And these foods often cost more than twice as much as the regular fare!

To prove that a big plant-based meal can satisfy even the most macho meat eaters, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll enjoys a feast with Super Bowl winning running back Ricky Ervins and long-time sports writer Rick Snider.

Crushing Crohn’s Disease with a Plant-Based Diet
Could eating a vegan diet be the key to treating Crohn’s Disease? Quite possibly. On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova who shares a case study of a medical school student who was able to put his Crohn’s Disease into remission by adopting a plant-based diet. Even with traditional medical treatments the student was still struggling until he made dietary adjustments. Dr. Kahleova and Chuck explore why his case may not be an anomaly and the nutrition science of why eliminating meat and dairy from the diet may the millions of others worldwide living with Crohn’s. Chuck is also joined by entrepreneur Gregg Rozeboom who was inspired to open a chain of plant-based restaurants that were both healthy and eco-friendly. Gregg simply wanted for there to be a place where he could feel good about the food that was being served. Thus, Fruitive was born. Gregg’s journey to open Fruitive and adopt a plant-based diet is also part of his own health journey. He suffered from frequent and intense migraine headaches. At the suggestion of his wife, he began logging a food journal. As it turns out, Gregg discovered that the fast food and processed food he had been eating was also triggering these crippling episodes. Without that food in his diet, the migraines have subsided greatly! Fruitive has five locations in three cities, including Washington, DC, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk, Virginia.

Fighting For Dogs: A Drug Company’s Push To End Animal Testing
A major push is underway to end lab testing on dogs by pharmaceutical companies. On this bonus episode of The Exam Room™, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Elizabeth Baker, pharmaceutical policy program director for the Physicians Committee, who shares the incredible story of Vanda Pharmaceuticals. The biopharmaceutical company is working to end animal testing even at the expense of their bottom line. As you’ll hear, Vanda was ordered by the FDA to test a potential new drug for a stomach disorder on dogs. However, the company’s researchers concluded that the study would not be useful and cause unnecessary animal suffering. Vanda then asked FDA not to require the dog study, which would have taken place after the drug was already being tested in humans. But the FDA pushed back and barred Vanda from continuing with any further trials. Now, Vanda is fighting back! Baker also discusses the modern non-animal testing methods that are faster and more cost-effective in bringing drugs to market. --- --- Donate to PCRM http://bit.ly/donatePCRM --- --- Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC --- --- Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee --- --- Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.

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.

Chuck is then joined by Jessie Davidson who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 28 years old.

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.

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?

On a bonus episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, we are celebrating a major victory for animals!
