She tried everything to improve crippling pain from rheumatoid arthritis. Nothing worked nearly as well as eating a vegan diet. Ali DiGiacomo began suffering from RA at a young age. It ruined a once promising swimming career. Doctors told her that her joints resembled those of someone 50 years older than she was. As the condition grew worse she could barely do much physically let alone compete in the pool. For the next 10 years she suffered in silence and kept her diagnosis a secret despite having surgery and being put on medication. The invisible illness was all too embarrassing, and she didn't know how her friends would react. By the age of 21 Ali's condition deteriorated to a point where she could no longer walk without using a cane or even a wheelchair. Then her fortunes would change when she began exploring whether she could improve her condition by changing her diet. After a friend suggested she try eating a plant-based diet her inflammation levels plummeted. Today, she is social media star and advocate for RA who shares her journey in hopes of inspiring others.

Clear up false food facts on the season finale of The Exam Room! There is a dizzying amount of misinformation spread about plant-based diets on a daily basis. You need meat to survive. There is no way that you will get enough nutrients. Dairy is required in order to have strong bones. You won't live as long if you just eat plants. When you first consider going vegan it can be nearly impossible to know what to believe and who to trust. However, the confusion ends today because the truth stops here. Dr. Matthew Nagra joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about five of the biggest "false facts" regarding what happens to your health by taking meat and dairy off the menu. Dr. Nagra is quickly becoming one of the most trusted nutrition advocates in his home country of Canada and worldwide thanks to a strong internet following. He presents compelling and scientifically-backed arguments on the following claims: - You can't get all the nutrients you need by eating a plant-based diet. - Vegans are more likely to have brittle and broken bones. - Plant sources of protein are inferior to animal proteins. - It is hard to get enough iron without eating meat. - Soy is unhealthy and causes a man's chest to become unsightly. To that last point, wait until you hear the unexpected food that Dr. Nagra says is one of the biggest reasons men grow breast tissue. — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Dr. Matthew Nagra Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/dr.matthewnagra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.matthewnagra — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

While Dr. Asha Subramanian was helping her patients get well, she was quietly suffering through her own health struggles. She battled endometriosis from an early age, and the debilitating pain only grew worse with time. As a young doctor, the disease had grown so bad that she was told if she didn't have children in the near future she would risk never being able to get pregnant. The issues would continue for years as traditional therapies only provided scant relief. But she discovered that she could greatly improve her condition through food and began combining a plant-based diet with modern medicine.
