Going vegan may not just improve your health. It could also improve your financial bottom line. A study finds that eating an exclusively plant-based diet saved shoppers 16% on their grocery bill or roughly $500 per year, according to a study by Dr. Hana Kahleova. She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" on The Exam Room Podcast with the surprising results. While shoppers obviously spent more on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, the expense was more than offset by the savings from no longer purchasing eggs, meat, and dairy which tend to be higher priced items. If you think eating a plant-based diet is too expensive, this study shows it's time to think again. — — SHOW LINKS — — Vegan Diet Cost Study https://bit.ly/DietCostStudyPCRM — — — Plant Based On A Budget – Toni Okamoto Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McnChNTOYsw — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE with the Esselstyn Family Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveinDC23 Who: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn with Ann, Rip, and Jane.

A teen in Los Angeles is suing her school, her principal, and the USDA because she's being muzzled over milk! School officials told Marielle Williamson that she could only talk about nondairy alternatives at her high school if she also promoted cow's milk as well. She says that's unfair because dairy is already heavily advertised in schools while major barriers limit access to things such as almond, oat, or soy milk even though the majority of students in her school are lactose intolerant.

Marielle says her freedom of speech is being trampled along with the health of her classmates. She and attorney Deborah Press join The Exam Room Podcast to sit down with "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss the extraordinary case. — — LAWSUIT — — https://bit.ly/SchoolMilkLawsuit — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE in New York Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveNYC2023 When: July 12 Where: Museum of the City of New York Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Rip Esselstyn, Dr. Robert Ostfeld, Chuck and others! — — — Planet Bethesda When: June 4 Where: Bethesda, MD Website: https://planetbethesda.com — — FOLLOW US — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
