The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee Physicians Committee

Tim Kaufman was a triple addict. Alcohol and drug abuse combined with binge eating nearly claimed his life.
 
Of the three deadly vices, it was food that had its hooks in him the deepest. It is an addiction more powerful than the fentanyl he was abusing. Ditto for what was in the bottomless liquor bottles he consumed each night.
 
Tim was beaten raw by life until he fought back and clawed his way out of a self-made prison. His journey began at rock bottom, and he has soared to new heights as a leader in the plant-based world thanks to his Fat Man Rants.
 
In this episode, Tim joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about the personal hell he created for himself and how he was able to overcome his demons.
 
The two recovering food addicts discuss their take of "cheat days" and why they are the downfall of good health. Especially after weight loss.
 
Tim is the author of the book Escape: Breaking Free From a Self-Made Prison.

Five studies on heart disease are analyzed by board-certified interventional cardiologist Dr. Columbus Batiste.
 
- Fasting: Can time-restricted eating actually make you more likely to develop heart disease?
 
- Salt and longevity: How many years can you add to your life by not adding salt to your food?
 
- Lifesaving effects of fish: Skepticism surrounds a study that touts the benefits of fish compared to red meat.
 
- Eggs and cholesterol: The study shows eggs do not raise cholesterol, but it is being called into question because of major flaws and conflicts of interest.
 
- Heart disease rates: They are falling, but not for everyone.
 
Plus, Dr. Batiste explores whether calcified and clogged arteries are reversible in every case.
 
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
 
Dr. Batiste is an assistant clinical professor at the University of California School of Medicine and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing a Broken Heart.
