Before she was star of her own plant-based series on Amazon Prime, Gianna Simone was struggling to overcome an abusive upbringing and unhealthy relationship with food. From growing up in foster care to battling personal demons, Gianna found that her path forward began with taking care of herself and taking a hard look at the unhealthy choices she had been making, including the food that she was eating.

Today, she is an inspiring actress, author and the host of "Love, Gianna" and co-author of the Plant Love e-cookbook. She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share her exciting journey of going down what she calls the "rabbit hole of truth" and finding her way back to health.

Fact check nutrition claims on the official beef website with Dr. Neal Barnard and dietitian Lee Crosby as they join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™!

The website claims that beef is part of a heart healthy diet. What evidence is there to support the claim? What does independent research show?

The website also claims that beef is an essential food for babies. Do they need it to grow up big and strong or is red meat laying the foundation for heart disease later in life? Dr. Barnard and Lee have a mountain of research all leading to an undeniable conclusion.

Additionally, the website states that eating beef can improve cholesterol levels. How could such a claim be made when there is decades of independent research pointing in the opposite direction? The group dissects those statements to see whether they hold any merit!

And of course protein, protein, protein!

It is time to rethink the effect fruit and fat have on diabetes. Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, is living with type 1 diabetes and practices what he preaches — eating a healthy diet filled with the proper carbs and an abundance of apples, oranges, bananas, mangos and other fruit all containing natural sugar!

He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain why his fruit-heavy way of eating won't raise blood sugar, but the standard diet that is loaded with saturated fat can wreak havoc on insulin resistance.

Cyrus also discusses:

- White potatoes vs. sweet potatoes and blood sugar

- How much faster blood sugar rises from drinking a smoothie than eating fruit

- How to buck genetics and reduce the risk of diabetes when it runs in the family

- How eating a plant-based diet can improve insulin resistance in people who have had diabetes for many years

Cyrus is co-founder of Mastering Diabetes.

Can a person be both healthy and overweight? "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster to discuss the Healthy At Every Size movement.

The concept weighs whether too much emphasis is put on a person's weight and too little on the overall picture. As a person who lost 280 pounds, Chuck shares his opinion about that theory and how it may be perceived by those still struggling with their weight.

Dr. Yami also addresses the misconception that children can eat whatever they want without penalty. She explains the steep price that can be paid later in life for the high-fat and high-calorie foods eaten during our formative years. The seeds for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other chronic illnesses are planted early in life even if they don't blossom until adulthood.

Find out as "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by one of the leading cardiologists in the country, Dr. Kim Williams.

The increase in the number of heart attacks, heart disease and heart failure cases was disturbing to say the least!

It is possible to eat 4,000 or 5,000 or even 10,000 calories a day and still be malnourished!

While the diet of an average American is filled with fat and calories it is sadly lacking the essential vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to function healthfully. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, there are four times as many people who are obese or overweight and malnourished compared to those who are underweight and battling the same malnourishment.

On this episode of The Exam Room™, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Andrew Freeman to discuss why a large waist size is too easily mistaken for overnutrition rather than the nutrient desert it is.

"If left untreated, malnutrition leads to serious health conditions including diabetes, hypertension and heart disease," Dr. Freeman says.

Dr. Freeman's research is then put to the test when Chuck calculates the nutrient values of his previous high fat 10,000-calorie diet. The results are shocking!

Discover what it means to have inflammation in your body and unlock the secrets of a diet that can help to extinguish the unhealthy fire that is burning inside of you!

On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Monica Aggarwal and Dr. Jyothi Rao join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss inflammation and how it can trigger chronic diseases that take years off of your life.

The authors of "Body On Fire" will make you rethink what it means to have a Big Mac attack. It's not just a craving for two artery-clogging all-beef patties, not so special sauce, lettuce, high-fat cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. A Big Mac attack is actually a highly inflammatory all-out assault on your health that fans the flames of disease.

The standard American diet is filled with foods just like the Big Mac that serve as the gasoline being poured on an unhealthy fire!

So what can you do to bring the blaze under control? Doctors Aggarwal and Rao share the anti-inflammatory foods that can help get you back on track, including specific spices! You will also learn how quality sleep and exercise can help to control inflammation and improve your health!

Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard talks with Chuck about the link between COVID-19 and inflammation. Can a person reduce their risk for COVID by shifting toward a more anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle?

From near tragedy to resounding triumph. Go inside the mind of three food addicts with very different stories, but whose life-and-death battles were also very much similar in many ways.

On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Olympic cyclist Dotsie Bausch will recall her experience with anorexia, Baywatch star Alexandra Paul details her battle with bulimia, and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll describes the compulsion that drove him to eat 10,000 calories per day. The differences between the eating disorders seem as great as the weight that separated them. However, as the trio open up about their struggles it becomes clear that while their food addictions manifested in polarizing ways the mental battle is very much a shared struggle.

Plus, you will become inspired by their stories of recovery as Dotsie and Alexandra, who host the Switch4Good podcast, and Chuck share their paths to overcoming their disorders and the role that a plant-based diet plays in sustaining their healthy mindset. This uplifting conversation continues a discussion that originally began when Chuck was interviewed by them on their show.

Also on this episode, Dr. Neal Barnard delves into the science of food and mental health. You will learn why we are drawn to "comfort food" and the genetic predisposition that causes some people to become addicted to it.

What Will Your Legacy Be?

55 min
View

How would you like to be remembered years from now? Your legacy can be to leave a massive impact on the world and make it a healthier place for all of its inhabitants.

On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Alysoun Mahoney who honored her late husband by carrying on the work they began together as advocates for a plant-based lifestyle and animal welfare. Following his sudden passing, Alysoun established the Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund.

It is thanks in no small part to the fund that countless animals are being saved, major shifts have been made on the federal level toward healthier practices, and tens of thousands of people have learned the benefits of adopting a vegan diet.

So what would you like your legacy to be? What work would you like to continue for years to come? You will learn how you can make a huge difference without millions of dollars. Your legacy — a healthy legacy — can be solidified with far less and do far more good than you can possibly imagine.

Chuck is also joined by Kim Intino, Director of Legacy Giving for the Physicians Committee, who walks us through how to simplify the process of cementing your legacy so that you can support the tireless efforts of the Physicians Committee well into the future.

Get ready to change the world.
