Going vegan may not just improve your health. It could also improve your financial bottom line. A study finds that eating an exclusively plant-based diet saved shoppers 16% on their grocery bill or roughly $500 per year, according to a study by Dr. Hana Kahleova. She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" on The Exam Room Podcast with the surprising results. While shoppers obviously spent more on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, the expense was more than offset by the savings from no longer purchasing eggs, meat, and dairy which tend to be higher priced items. If you think eating a plant-based diet is too expensive, this study shows it's time to think again. — — SHOW LINKS — — Vegan Diet Cost Study https://bit.ly/DietCostStudyPCRM — — — Plant Based On A Budget – Toni Okamoto Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McnChNTOYsw — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE with the Esselstyn Family Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveinDC23 Who: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn with Ann, Rip, and Jane.

When it comes to protein, we’ve been looking at it all wrong. It’s time to think about it in a profoundly different way. Protein expert Dr. David Katz, who is the former president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, shares his new view on protein. Our quest for high-quality protein often causes us to overlook the harmful and potentially disease-causing compounds that come with that same protein. We eat it and then we get sick. Dr. Katz shares his novel approach to protein consumption, where we’ve been going wrong, and the best and healthiest protein sources when he joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. -- Topics Discussed -- - The truth about protein deficiency rates - Essential amino acid sources - Healthiest sources of protein - Environmental impact of protein sources - Getting enough protein - And more Dr. Katz will be speaking at the 2023 International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine. — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Tickets: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm When: August 10-12 Where: Washington, DC — Grand Hyatt Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Michael Greger, Chuck Carroll, Dr. Kristi Funk, Dr. Gemma Newman, and more — — SHOW LINKS — — Dr. David Katz DietID: https://www.dietid.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrDavidKatz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidKatz — — — Cuisinicity Website: https://cuisinicity.com — — FOLLOW US — — The Exam Room Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM — — — 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 — — — 5-Star Success: Follow & Share Your Story 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.

The power of food is extraordinary. Every 33 seconds in the U.S. someone will die of cardiovascular disease, but you do not have to be a statistic. For the first time, groundbreaking research is proving definitively that even patients who already have the disease, as well as those who are at high risk of developing it, can dramatically improve their heart health. Dr. Neal Barnard and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss the analysis of nearly 2,000 patients and the effect that an infusion of nonanimal foods had on their cardiometabolic function. The results point directly to the benefit of vegan and vegetarian diets to both prevent and, in many cases, reverse heart disease. Topic Discussed - How these findings differ from previous heart disease research - Alcohol's effect on blood pressure - Which foods are healthiest for the heart - The effect of animal protein on heart function - And more Dr. Barnard will be speaking at the 2023 International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
