Americans say there is no place for the likes of McDonald's and Chick-fil-A in hospitals. The giants of fast food are serving greasy, fatty, artery-clogging foods in the same building where patients are receiving artery-opening stents and pacemakers. Often these lifesaving surgeries are just a floor or two above where the unhealthy combo meals are being served up. In a way it's like having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting above a bar. It just doesn't make sense. Eating fast food four times a week may increase heart disease risk by 80%, according to one study. So, why is it happening? Dr. Roxanne Becker joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to talk about the findings of the hospital survey that revealed mounting frustrations with the state of hospital food. — — SHOW LINKS — — Hospital Fast Food Survey Background: https://bit.ly/PCRMHospitalFoodSurvey Full survey: https://bit.ly/FastFoodHospitals2024 — — — Roxanne Becker, MBChB, DipIBLM Bio: https://www.pcrm.org/about-us/staff/roxanne-becker — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

Molly Patrick is a self-described dirty girl who loves to eat clean. Her path to healthy living is unique to say the least, but it has also helped her transform thousands of others into the healthy bodies they've always desired. Molly grew up living off the land.

The premise: 22 sets of healthy twins are put to the test. One identical twin begins to eat an entirely plant-based diet while their sibling eats a meaty omnivorous diet. While 70% of the diets were identical, 30% of the omnivorous diet was comprised of meat and other animal foods. It would be that 30% that proved the difference maker in terms of the cardiometabolic health of the twins. In just eight weeks the changes were nothing short of astounding. On average, the twin eating the plant-based diet lost an additional four pounds, lowered their LDL ("bad") cholesterol by 15 points, and experienced a 20 percent improvement in fasting insulin compared to their meat eating sibling. Go inside the remarkable study that was the basis for the hit Netflix documentary You Are What You Eat. Nutrition scientist and Stanford professor Christopher Gardner, PhD, is one of the lead researchers of the study. He outlines the findings and takes you behind the scenes of the documentary when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

Molly Gibson is thriving once again after overcoming three debilitating illnesses. In high school, her life was derailed by postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). She went from being a highly competitive athlete to completely bedridden. After years of suffering, she began to eat a healthy plant-based diet and began to heal. The results were far more than she could have hoped for as her life returned to normal while her crippling symptoms vanished. She has devoted her life to helping others and opened Rooted3, a plant-based restaurant in Bethesda, Md., that serves the same foods that helped her body heal. Molly shares her never give up attitude and journey back to health with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room podcast.

Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain the pros and cons of multivitamins and supplements on The Exam Room Podcast. Topics Discussed - Warnings about multivitamins - Multivitamin vs. unhealthy diet and lifestyle - When a multivitamin can help - Who should take a multivitamin - Common nutrients missing in your diet - And more This episode was recorded at the National Health Association conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

The truth about olive oil and your health is becoming clear. The results of a well-designed randomized clinical trial yield the answer to a puzzling question: Is olive oil healthy? The lead researcher, Dr. Monica Aggarwal, discusses what she calls "provocative data" gathered from the study. Would olive oil still prove to a healthy food if all participants were eating a healthy whole food, plant-based diet instead of the standard diet, which is often lower in nutrients and higher in fat? While the study admittedly has limitations, the results unequivocally demonstrated that olive oil may not be as healthy as many believe. Dr. Aggarwal joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll with the findings. — — SHOW LINKS — — Olive Oil Study https://bit.ly/OliveOilStudy2024 — — — Dr. Monica Aggarwal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmonicaaggarwal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/monicaaggarwalmd X: https://twitter.com/drmaggarwal Website: https://www.drmonicaaggarwal.com — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — EVENTS — — Wellness Weekend Where: Davis, WV Date: September 27-28 Tickets: https://www.brendaworkmanspeaks.com/wellness-weekend — — THIS IS US — — Work With PCRM https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — — 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 — — 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 — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
