The power of food is extraordinary. Every 33 seconds in the U.S. someone will die of cardiovascular disease, but you do not have to be a statistic. For the first time, groundbreaking research is proving definitively that even patients who already have the disease, as well as those who are at high risk of developing it, can dramatically improve their heart health. Dr. Neal Barnard and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss the analysis of nearly 2,000 patients and the effect that an infusion of nonanimal foods had on their cardiometabolic function. The results point directly to the benefit of vegan and vegetarian diets to both prevent and, in many cases, reverse heart disease.

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. Studies show that up to 80% of people of Hispanic decent are lactose intolerant and roughly 75% of students who attend public school in LA are Hispanic. Marielle says her freedom of speech is being trampled along with the health of her classmates.

Tony Schiera was more than 700 miles into a 1,000-mile-long bicycle ride from Indianapolis to Washington, D.C., with his wife Rachel when tragedy nearly struck. They clung to hope that he was just dehydrated, but that hope quickly faded when he was rushed to one of the premiere cardiac centers in the United States. Despite being exceptionally physically fit, Tony had major blockages in at least five arteries. Doctors told him that he required lifesaving quintuple bypass surgery. It proved to be a success, but it was only the first step in a new life. Although heart disease ran rampant in his family, he and his wife embarked on a mission to find out whether genetics were to blame for his brush with death. What they would learn would change both of their lives and Tony's outlook for the future. He was no longer living on borrowed time. He was now destined to live to a ripe old age. Together they have discovered that a new way of eating doesn't mean depriving themselves of their favorite foods. Instead, it means discovering heart-healthy recipes to continue enjoying them, including one for mac and cheese! The Schieras join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share an unbelievable story of survival and rising from trauma to ride toward a brighter future. --- --- --- Exam Room LIVE in LA Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Kristi Funk, Toni Okamoto from Plant-Based On A Budget, Samantha Harris from Dancing With The Stars, and surprise guests will be recording a special episode of The Exam Room LIVE in Los Angeles.
