If they know, then they'll have to solve the problem, and that's expensive.Andrew's favorite foods: cauliflower shwarma, Beyond Beef steak tips**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice;all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

Further your health journey with PLANTS - featuring Chuck Carroll
👩‍🍳FREE TUTORIAL TO VEGANIZE RECIPES🎥⁠Watch the video podcast on YouTube⁠🌐Check ⁠The Flirty Vegan website⁠ 👉Follow ⁠@theflirtyvegan on Instagram⁠📣Join ⁠The Flirty Vegan Facebook Group⁠☎️⁠Book a CONNECTION CALL⁠ ⭐️Get the ⁠newsletter⁠Chuck Carroll is host of the Physicians Committee’s popular “The Exam Room” podcast and known widely as The Weight Loss Champion, a name given to him by an NFL player for losing an incredible 275 pounds.At just 5 feet 6 inches tall, Chuck weighed 420 pounds and had a 66-inch waist before radically changing his life.Before that, like so many others, he tried and failed countless times to lose weight.  Any success he achieved was short-lived as the weight came pouring back on and then some. At his heaviest, he was eating 10,000 calories every day.Out of desperation, he decided to have weight loss surgery in 2009. Prior to the procedure he was convinced that it would become like all the other failed attempts to lose weight. Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t believe he would live to see 30. He thought at least he would go to his grave saying he tried everything.But then the unexpected happened. He woke up from the surgery and never looked back.Although a critical component, the procedure proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his long-term weight loss success to it. The rest he credits to a plant-based diet and changing his lifestyle!By adopting a plant-based diet, he is no longer afraid of regaining the weight as he had so many times before — no more yo-yo dieting! He is thrilled that he is lowering his risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease, both of which run rampant in his family. As a bonus, he is no longer spending massive amounts of money on medical expenses because of his optimum health!The confidence he gained from the weight loss enabled him to pursue his dream of becoming a reporter where he covered sports and news for CBS and later NBC News Radio. He was also previously featured in PCRM’s Teaming Up 4 Health campaign where he had the opportunity to speak on Capitol Hill and share his remarkable journey.Now he is delighted to be bringing his passion and talents to the Physicians Committee as host of The Exam Room and to show others that the impossible is possible — you can get healthy!Chuck's substackThe Exam Room podcastChuck's InstagramThe Juicy Bits:Fear is a powerful motivator.One Nacho Theory - you can't have just one. Junk food is addictive.Dieting isn't fun. Keep it simple. Protein is important, but fiber is more important. Eat a wide variety of plants and you'll get all the nutrients you need.You can struggle and still perform at a high level. Don't let sickness or setback get in the way of living.Plaque buildup can be reversed!Plant-based eating is not extreme. You can recreate all your favorite recipes in a new way.You will actually taste food and love it, and you won't be plagued with crazy cravings.Start small by replacing one meal per day with a plant-based one. Then, after a week, replace a second. Then by the third week, replace the third.Chuck's favorite foods: black coffee, Blue Zone and Plantstrong meals, popcorn, baked sweet potato with steamed broccoli and black beans and hot sauce, hummus!**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for generalinformational purposes only.

It's aligning physical, mental, and relational selves.65% of your communication comes from nonverbal behaviors.The relationship you have with yourself is the relationship you're going to have with everybody else.We have a choice everyday to transform or stay the same.Neuroplasticity is the ability we all have to rewire the brain and CHANGE.3/4 of the population will experience imposter syndrome and/or limiting beliefs at some point.We know more than we think we do and have to trust our intuition.There is no right or wrong way to journal. Check out my interview on the Journal with Jenny podcast about my journaling practice.Failure is only the enemy if you don't learn the lesson.We end up where we're supposed to be.We should always stay curious and want to learn and grow.The habits that got you to where you are and your success may not be what gets you to where you want to be tomorrow.
