Amy Zacharias, MD is board certified in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine. From a young age, she always knew she wanted to be a physician. She grew up on a farm in central Illinois, where being a physician meant treating acute and chronic diseases with medications and the typical diet included meat at almost every meal. She was very active in sports growing up, so she always had an interest in healthy eating and physical activity. She thought she ate better than most by consuming lean meats and very little processed food. It was not until later in her career that she realized the most important aspect of being a physician was preventing disease, and that a whole food plant based diet, along with other lifestyle changes, is the best way to achieve optimal health. She attended Loyola University of Chicago for undergraduate studies and then Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, Illinois. She then moved back to central Illinois where she completed her residency training in family medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Methodist Medical Center. Upon completion of residency, she practiced traditional family medicine in a small town for several years. She also enjoyed serving as the Employee Health physician for her local hospital and the occupational medicine physician for several local employers. With these roles, she was asked to develop wellness programs to help keep employees healthy. She realized that educating patients about lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease was what she enjoyed most about being a physician. After several years of family practice, she started to become frustrated with the number of patients she saw daily afflicted with chronic diseases. She also noticed that despite eating healthy and exercising regularly all of her life that she too began to struggle to maintain a healthy weight. Determined to find a better way to prevent and treat disease, she became board certified in lifestyle medicine. In addition to her lifestyle medicine practice, Dr. Zacharias teaches medical students at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. She is passionate about teaching patients and students how to cook and eat better in order to prevent and reverse disease. She has a love for cooking and has completed the Rouxbe Plant-Based Professional cooking certification. She has a special interest in helping patients achieve their ideal weight and helping athletes reach peak performance by following a whole food, plant-based diet.

Chuck Carroll is truly “The Weight Loss Champion” and host of the popular podcast, The Exam Room. At his heaviest, Chuck weighed 420 pounds and had amassed a 66-inch waist while requiring a size 6xl shirt. At just 5-foot-6, his tiny frame struggled to support his enormous figure that was fueled by a 10,000-calorie daily diet of fast food. Now more than a decade into his transformation, his astonishing weight loss total stands at 280 pounds! He attributes the lasting success to a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, but free of meat and dairy.

Inspired by an increasingly healthy lifestyle, he teamed up with PCRM in 2018 to launch The Exam Room™ podcast where he has interviewed the biggest names in the plant-based.
