004: From Morbidly Obese to Plant-Based Influencer…One Man's Journey with Chuck Carroll

Chuck Carroll is truly "The Weight Loss Champion" and host of the wildly 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. A severe food addiction continued to fuel an unhealthy lifestyle as his waist expanded at such a pace that soon it would outgrow even the big and tall catalog. Yet, he convinced himself that he needed to continue down that path to remain a personality on radio station BIG 100.3 (WBIG-FM) in Washington, DC. During this episode of the Health Science Podcast show, Dr. Frank Sabatino and Chuck Carroll go deep into addiction, dealing with life after weight loss surgery, nerding out on the science of food, the spiritual side of eating a plant exclusive diet and the long-term benefits to one's health, the planet, and the animals through a change in what's on the end of the fork.
