How to Eat Like a Doctor and Feel Amazing in 2025 | Dr. Colin Zhu

Ever feel like your body just isn't working the way it used to? Low energy. Stubborn weight. Chronic conditions that won't budge.   Dr. Colin Zhu is a board-certified physician who realized that prescriptions weren't enough — so he went to culinary school to help people heal through everyday food.   In this conversation with Chuck Carroll of The Exam Room podcast, Dr. Zhu shares the simple shifts that make a big difference: from what to eat when you're dealing with fatigue or high blood pressure, to how to grocery shop without falling into the processed food trap.   You'll learn:   - How to rethink your grocery cart   - Why fiber—not protein—is the missing piece in most diets   - How small, consistent changes really work   Whether you're already on a health journey or just thinking about it, this episode offers real advice from someone who understands how hard change can be—and how worth it it really is.   This episode of The Exam Room is sponsored by Plants Over Animals with Dr. Brooke Bussard.
