And when that happens you are trapped in a toxic relationship. Dr. Hana Kahleova has mastered the language of love in terms of nutrition and brings us the ins and outs of the love diet. She will tell you the foods you can eat that are like love at first sight and those that might show a little more tough love.

Is a vegan diet always healthy? It appears that even with ultra-processed plant-based foods there are substantial health benefits. The results of an analysis comparing a vegan diet containing "junk food" indulgences and a standard diet containing meat and dairy are examined by Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, who co-authored the study. After analyzing the results of nearly 250 study participants, she joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast with the surprising findings. About The Study The analysis assessed the association of a plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI) with weight loss. The PDI measures adherence to a plant-based diet in general, the hPDI includes more fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans, and the uPDI includes more foods such as refined grains and fruit juices. The findings are from a secondary analysis of a Physicians Committee study in which 244 overweight adults were randomly assigned to a vegan group that followed a low-fat vegan diet or a control group that made no diet changes for 16 weeks. Calorie intake was not limited for either group, and neither group was given diet quality instructions. — — STUDIES — — Vegan Diet Quality Study https://go.nature.com/48H1NkV — — EVENTS — — What: The Power Foods Revolution Where: Washington, DC - The National Press Club Date: March 26, 2024 Time: 7:00pm Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Chuck Carroll, Dustin Harder, Stefanie Ignoffo Tickets: https://bit.ly/PowerFoodsTixDC — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — FOLLOW US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: 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 X: 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.

Many people would rather break up with their spouse than give up Doritos, pizza, or a pint of ice cream after a long day. The food you crave doesn't talk back, question your decisions, or tell you that you're wrong. It only makes you feel better in the moment. The problem is these foods become addictive with each meal. And soon life can revolve around getting the next fix. While it sounds extreme that is the reality facing millions of people every day. And once you've hit that point breaking up with food will be infinitely harder than ending any relationship you've ever been in. So, it is time to reset your relationship with food. Discover how to conquer cravings and crush unhealthy habits with seven-time New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for an insightful conversation about food addiction and filling the body, mind, and belly with nourishing foods that can help to reclaim your health. In time your relationship with food will do more than reset. It will become stronger and healthier than ever. It's not a breakup.

"I can fix your arteries with balloon angioplasty and put a stent in there or I can fix it with broccoli." Those are the words of Dr. Ted Barnett who calls himself the "High-Tech Doctor With Low-Tech Solutions." Carving out a career has been a delicate walk for Dr. Barnett who practices as an interventional radiologist but would much prefer to treat patients with affordable fruits and vegetables rather than expensive and invasive procedures. While the former still pays the bills, Dr. Barnett and his wife volunteer their time at the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, which he co-founded. It is there that he is able to write prescriptions for produce that are often more effective than the medicines patients were previously prescribed. One of the newer methods of treatment offered by Dr. Barnett is a 15-day intervention to address the root cause of potentially life-threatening chronic illnesses. The courses are now being offered on a global level.

Jim Greenbaum walked away from successful $130 million business with one mission in mind, use his wealth to change the world. Little did he know that his world was about to change as well. It all began with a conversation at the gym. Those few minutes helped this man with exceptional generosity and a tireless work ethic to help others began to realize that he too needed help. After growing up in the land of Crisco, red meat, and Coca-Cola, Jim knew he had to do something to avoid the same fate as others in his family who were stricken with heart disease. He was already struggling with high triglycerides and cholesterol. Jim was given a copy of The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and began implementing changes. It only took one month for "everything to go into total balance" for the first time in his life. The effect was so profound that Jim shifted the focus and vast resources of his foundation to moving the world toward a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle.

After losing 100 pounds himself, a doctor is rethinking how to help his overweight patients. Cardiologist Dr. Steve Lome joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. Dr. Lome believes nothing can change until the root of the obesity epidemic is addressed. He disagrees that there is no money in a cure. Instead, Dr. Lome says there's a path forward for everyone to win. Doctors and medical providers can still remain profitable while patients can lose weight, keep it off, and address the underlying medical conditions that have caused their quality of life and bank accounts to suffer. It is Dr. Lome's belief that the financial and physical suffering will end through a new approach to weight loss. And it's an approach that he's already proven can work through his own eye-opening weight loss! — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Benefits - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events The first interview is with Dr. Michael Greger on Nov. 20.

Nathaniel Jordan watched his father, a minister, die of complications stemming from an unhealthy diet. Ditto for three uncles who all died in their mid-60's or younger. His grandparents also died of preventable chronic diseases. Nathaniel almost suffered the same fate. He was 100 pounds overweight and suffering from prediabetes and heart complications, before he had an epiphany following his father's passing. The former police officer wanted to follow in his father's footsteps albeit while taking a much healthier path. Thus, the Minister of Wellness was born. He lost the 100 pounds and was reborn into a healthier body after adopting a plant-based diet. He's now blending his faith with healthy food and helping thousands ditch what he calls the "Satanic American Diet" that had been robbing them of their health and taking years off their life. Nathaniel joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his incredible journey back to health and why his faith stronger than ever. — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE with the Esselstyn Family Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveinDC23 Who: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn with Ann, Rip, and Jane.

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.
