The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee Physicians Committee

What would happen if junk food were banned? Life expectancy is dropping and more than half the world is expected to be overweight by 2035. Many say it is time to take extreme measures to stop this unhealthy trend and the millions of cases of cancers, diabetes, and heart disease that it can lead to.
 
One of the options being considered is a ban on foods packed with sugar, fat and salt. In some parts of the world the ban is already in place. So what effect might it have?
 
The Plant Power Doc, Dr. Gemma Newman, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE to discuss the controversial idea! Surprisingly, in some cases junk food companies are supporting such measures.

Discover why this innovative approach to treating heart disease is believed to be the future of medicine. No matter how sick the patient is, Dr. Baxter Montgomery feels there is a very good chance they will be able to improve.
 
His confidence comes from years of treating critically ill patients as a world-renowned cardiologist in Texas. It also comes from his own experience turning his poor health around.
 
Dr. Montgomery shares the revolutionary treatment approach on the docuseries Heart and Soul of a Champion. The first season follows NFL legends throughout the course of their treatment, including Hall of Fame inductee Darrell Green. But the most profound case featured is that of an average joe whose heart was failing and struggling to pump at 10% efficiency. Yet, he too is on the road to recovery now when other doctors had written him off completely.
 
Dr. Montgomery joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about treating and preventing heart disease like never before and the groundbreaking docuseries Heart and Soul of a Champion on The Exam Room Podcast.
 
Dr. Montgomery will also be speaking at the Fairfax VegFest in Herndon, Va., on April 23.
