She's half the time they have no idea and when they do they're like, you know, was that tofu in this curry that I had?

And I was like, absolutely. It was good. I never had it that way before and I'm like, yeah, and then there's just like a pat on my back, but then excited because

what have they been excited about tofu before?

Welcome to the Exammer and Podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee.

Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll. Thank you so very much for raising your health IQ with us in more than 130 countries around the world and healthy cities coast to coast in the US.

Columbus, Ohio, San Antonio, Texas, Santa Rosa, California. We appreciate you helping to make the world a healthier place.

This is episode 12 of season 5, number 311 overall.

Another Super Bowl is upon us and it is time once again to realize that more athletes than ever are turning to a plant-based diet to get a leg up on their competition and that includes plenty of players in the NFL.

No doubt you've heard about the Tennessee Titans. They were featured a few years ago in the game changers documentary.

But that trend of healthy eating continues today and that is why we will be speaking with a woman who is helping to push that trend forward.

She is a sports dietitian and performance chef helping the Philadelphia Eagles fly high into the playoffs this past season.

Britney Dunn, she is an up-and-comer in the nutrition world who is working with players to fine tune their diet, enhance their performance and turn those warriors into plant-fueled gridiron gladiators.

And the Vets Curiosity does not stop with just the players because there are plenty of people in the front office including some very high up in the executive ranks who are standing up from the table where the standard American diet is being served

and moving over toward a more plant-friendly table where healthier dishes are being played it up.

Now of course when it comes to a healthy diet many of us first think to the Ageless Wonder Tom Brady.

And Tom is hanging it up after 22 seasons in the NFL that included seven Super Bowl victories.

Of course his famed TB12 diet it's not completely plant-based but it is about an 80-20 split that excludes a lot of things.

Doesn't include dairy, gluten, MSG, coffee, alcohol, all GMOs, added sugars, trans fats or ultra-process food but what it does include are healthy doses of leafy greens and fresh fruit.

He keeps it pretty clean with a serious eye on nutrient density and as you will hear today from Brittany she's also about ultra-clean nutrient dense meals.

So you're going to hear her talk about her methods for working with today's players and how many of them are paying close attention to their diet.

You're also going to hear about the growing number of veg curious players on the team and what those guys are eating.

And of course we're also going to be talking about what you're eating as well because Brittany has some fun ideas for what you may want to serve at your Super Bowl party this year.
