Include your email so I can answer you back.Chuck Carroll didn't just struggle with his weight; he grew up expecting to die young. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he was already on blood pressure medication, and by his mid-twenties, he genuinely believed he wouldn't make it to 30. At 420 pounds, his body was sending him every warning signal imaginable. So he made a decision that would change everything.Weight-loss surgery was the first step; a plant-based diet was the second, but as Chuck discovered, losing the weight was only the beginning. What followed was a health crisis that sent him to the hospital multiple times, left him searching desperately for answers, and ultimately led him to the Mayo Clinic.In this episode, Chuck opens up about the physical and emotional battles that came after losing 275 pounds.You'll also hear what Chuck would tell his 26-year-old self if he could go back. If you've ever felt like it's too late, like you've already tried everything, or like your body has simply given up on you, this episode is your reminder that it's not over.Find Chuck at: The Exam Room Podcast https://www.pcrm.org/podcastThe Gut Insiders Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gut-insiders/id1865185593Subscribe to Chuck's Newsletter, Lost and Found at https://chuckcarroll.kit.com/newsletterThis episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient Grainshttps://www.ancientgrains.com/Free Shippinghttps://www.ancientgrains.com/shipping-policyThis episode is sponsored by Clean Food Dirty Girl Drop It Club (Plant-Powered Weight Loss).
