What would happen if junk food were banned? Life expectancy is dropping and more than half the world is expected to be overweight by 2035. Many say it is time to take extreme measures to stop this unhealthy trend and the millions of cases of cancers, diabetes, and heart disease that it can lead to.   One of the options being considered is a ban on foods packed with sugar, fat and salt. In some parts of the world the ban is already in place. So what effect might it have?   The Plant Power Doc, Dr. Gemma Newman, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE to discuss the controversial idea! Surprisingly, in some cases junk food companies are supporting such measures.   Other Topics - Tips for overcoming cravings - Why do we love junk food? - What foods are addictive? - Healthy snack ideas - Are all vegan foods healthy? - And more!   Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Kristi Funk, Toni Okamoto from Plant-Based On A Budget, Samantha Harris from Dancing With The Stars, actress/musician Harley Quinn Smith, and surprise guests will be recording a special episode of The Exam Room LIVE in Los Angeles on March 30. Tickets can be purchased online. — — — Exam Room LIVE in LA Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveLA2023 When: March 30 Where: The Ebell of Los Angeles Who: Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Kristi Funk, Samantha Harris (Dancing with the Stars), Toni Okamoto (Plant-Based on a Budget), Harley Quinn Smith (musician/actress) — — — Dr. Gemma Newman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantpowerdoctor Book: https://amzn.to/3di3Xzy Website: https://gemmanewman.com — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — Subscribe to the Podcast Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

Tim Kaufman was a triple addict. Alcohol and drug abuse combined with binge eating nearly claimed his life.   Of the three deadly vices, it was food that had its hooks in him the deepest. It is an addiction more powerful than the fentanyl he was abusing. Ditto for what was in the bottomless liquor bottles he consumed each night.   Tim was beaten raw by life until he fought back and clawed his way out of a self-made prison. His journey began at rock bottom, and he has soared to new heights as a leader in the plant-based world thanks to his Fat Man Rants.   In this episode, Tim joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about the personal hell he created for himself and how he was able to overcome his demons.   The two recovering food addicts discuss their take of "cheat days" and why they are the downfall of good health. Especially after weight loss.   Tim is the author of the book Escape: Breaking Free From a Self-Made Prison.   — — OUR FRIENDS — — Tim Kaufman Escape Book: https://amzn.to/49H7f6U Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatmanrants Website: https://fatmanrants.com — — EVENTS — — Lotus Health Foundation Symposium - Rochester Where: 125 LIVE and Rochester Golf and Country Club, Rochester, MN Date: May 16-17, 2024 Who: Chuck Carroll, Brenda Davis, RD, Dr. Amit Sood, Dr. Brian Carlsen Tickets: https://bit.ly/Lotus2024 — — — Planted Expo - Vancouver Where: Vancouver Convention Center West Date: June 1-2, 2024 Who: Chuck Carroll, Dr. Michael Greger, Carleigh Bodrug, Robert Cheeke, and more!
