Carleigh Bodrug Went Vegan, Transformed Her Health, and Is Inspiring Millions

True story. Before she had millions of followers, Carleigh Bodrug struggled with her health. Her digestive issues had grown troublesome that she was taking prescription laxatives for her entire childhood.   The problems then began multiplying as the years rolled by. By the time Carleigh was in her early 20's she was chronically fatigued and wore her poor health on her sleeve as her skin issues were now on display for the world to see.   She wasn't the only member of her family facing challenges. Doctors had previously diagnosed her father with stage 2 colon cancer. He survived, but Carleigh remember being stunned in 2015 when red and processed meat were classified as carcinogenic. The same foods that her family had been eating years were also the reason they were sick?!   An emotional mixture of anger, confusion, and motivation led Carleigh to seek a healthier path. And when she discovered a whole-food plant-based diet, suddenly all of her health challenges disappeared. The answer had been right in front of her the whole time and it wasn't in a pill bottle. It was in her kitchen.   She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast™ to share her story in detail and how her life-changing epiphany planted the seed for a booming career as an authority on simple, tasty and healthy plant-based recipes! Her PlantYou Cookbook became a No. 1 best seller before it was even released!   Plus, Chuck details new research on the protective benefits a vegetarian diet offers against dementia.
