The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

The ten biggest findings in nutrition from 2023 are unveiled!

Groundbreaking research in 2023 may lead to major advancements in the prevention, treatment, and reversal of many common chronic diseases that drive up health care costs while also driving down the quality of life for millions.

The studies examine the obesity gene, what happens to the health of identical twins when they eat a different diet, and the risk of high blood pressure among couples!

The findings also show eating a healthy diet can have a double positive effect in that it can reduce overall spending on food and health care. Thus, there will be more money in your bank!

Dr. Roxanne Becker joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share the biggest discoveries of the year.

Chuck also talks about his own DNA analysis and that revelation that he is genetically predisposed to be overweight.

The Obesity Gene and Overcoming It

Lifestyle vs. Genetics: Identical Twins Study

High Blood Pressure Risk Among Couples

Eating to Save Money and Your Life

Can you spouse or significant other make you physically sick?

The joke writes itself, but it’s truly no laughing matter. The answer is yes! And the reasons extend beyond just the day-to-day hiccups of relationships.

Research shows that your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner can have a direct influence on your health. Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain how the love of your life is influencing your ability to be healthy.

Dr. Barnard explains that it’s a double-edged sword. While some relationships can become a barrier to being healthy others can work very much work in your favor to build a healthier body inside and out.

To demonstrate how significant the influence your partner may have, Dr. Barnard shares a study examining high blood pressure among couples. If one person has high blood pressure the other is at a significantly higher risk of having it as well! And that’s just the tip of the health relationship iceberg!

In The Power Foods Focus, Dr. Barnard also shares the foods that you should be eating to boost your metabolism and achieve your weight loss goals.

On This Show

High blood pressure among couples

Your partner’s influence on your risk of heart disease

Your partner and your risk of cancer

How to encourage healthier habits

Minimizing temptation

Saturated fat and cholesterol

And more!

You’re full but you can’t stop eating. There’s a reason why you feel uncomfortable, bloated, and on the verge of slipping into a food coma! It’s your body’s way of dealing with the massive meal you just ate.

Plus, Dr. Rahman answers questions from the Doctor's Mailbag.

What is the best way to "detox" after a massive meal?

What effect does gaining weight over the holidays have on your health?

Why does salt cause the body to swell?

Can nuts raise cholesterol?

And many more!
