Learn the best foods and diet for lowering cholesterol on this episode of The Exam Room! Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to answer viewer questions about cholesterol, including whether the keto diet can help lower cholesterol or send it even higher.   Plus, Dr. Barnard answers other questions:   - Can plant-based foods raise cholesterol? - Should you stop eating seeds when trying to lose weight? - Why are B vitamins important? - Does a vegan diet cause children to have weaker bones? - And many more!   Also, doctors are reportedly seeing "astronomical" weight gain among children since the beginning of the pandemic. Chuck welcomes Fit Fathers founder Kimatni Rawlins to talk about the reasons why this is happening and ways to reverse the unhealthy trend. Kimatni also shares details on the 8th annual Fit Father’s Day event that you can participate in from anywhere in the world!   This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J.
