    Dekku on Veganism, Animal Rights, and Speaking Up for Animals

    What inspires someone to dedicate their life to speaking up for animals? In this episode of the Plant Based Coaches Podcast, we sit down with Alex LePelch, better known online as Dekku, a popular TikTok creator whose videos about veganism and animal rights have reached millions of people. Alex shares his personal journey to veganism, which began nearly a decade ago when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. After adopting a plant-based lifestyle, she recovered and experienced significant health improvements. Years later, when Alex's father was diagnosed with cancer, he also embraced a plant-based diet. Today, Alex's entire family follows a plant-based lifestyle. While health initially played a role in his family's journey, Alex explains how learning about animal agriculture and watching slaughterhouse footage transformed his perspective. Those experiences opened his eyes to the realities animals face and inspired him to become an outspoken advocate for animal rights. During this conversation, we discuss: • Alex's journey to veganism • How his mother's cancer diagnosis influenced his family • Why his father's cancer diagnosis reinforced their commitment to plant-based living • The slaughterhouse videos that changed his perspective forever • Animal rights and ethical veganism • Some of Alex's most popular TikTok videos • How social media can be used to educate and inspire change • Common misconceptions about veganism • The future of the animal rights movement hether you're vegan, plant-based, animal-curious, or simply interested in hearing an inspiring story, this conversation offers valuable insight into the connection between compassion, advocacy, and personal transformation.

  5. After 3 Years of Symptoms, Chuck Carroll Finally Gets Answered

    After 3 Years of Symptoms, Chuck Carroll Finally Gets Answered

    For the past three years, Chuck Carroll — host of The Exam Room podcast from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) — has been battling a baffling health mystery. Chuck began experiencing constant bloating and a strange feeling of drunkenness, despite not drinking alcohol. The symptoms were persistent and severely disrupted his daily life. Doctors recently performed an exploratory procedure that may have finally revealed the cause. Chuck had gastric bypass surgery 17 years ago, and during the procedure doctors placed a feeding tube into a small portion of his stomach that had not been used in years due to the bypass. Something remarkable happened: When food was delivered into that isolated portion of the stomach, his symptoms completely disappeared. But when he returned to eating normally through the larger portion of his stomach, the symptoms returned immediately. Now doctors believe they have identified the root of the problem. Chuck is scheduled to undergo gastric bypass reversal and hiatal hernia repair surgery on April 17, with hopes that the procedure will restore his health. Chuck shares the full story of his medical journey, what doctors discovered during the exploratory procedure, and what he’s expecting as he prepares for surgery. We’re wishing him the best and look forward to having Chuck back in June for an update after surgery. 👍 Subscribe to our channel for more conversations about plant-based health, wellness, and inspiring personal stories.
