Title: The Cost of Ignoring Stress and How You Can Heal: Why Diet Alone Isn’t Enough Guest: Chuck Carroll, Host of The Exam Room Guest Host: Maxime Sigouin, Founder & CEO of Fit Vegan Coaching

Chuck Carroll, known as the “Weight Loss Champion,” lost over 270 pounds and now hosts The Exam Room, a widely respected podcast focused on nutrition and plant-based living. In this honest and eye-opening episode, Chuck joins guest host Maxime Sigouin to talk about a part of health that even he once overlooked: stress.

Despite maintaining a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, Chuck shares how chronic stress led to serious health consequences that diet alone couldn’t prevent.

They unpack:

• The hidden dangers of overworking and emotional escapism

• Why boundaries and rest are non-negotiable for long-term health

• Chuck’s personal experience with burnout, gut issues, and neurological symptoms

• What happens when passion turns into self-neglect—and how you can begin to heal

This conversation is a powerful reminder that true health goes beyond what’s on your plate—and that healing starts with listening to your body, setting boundaries, and reconnecting with what restores you.
