Summary
Can eating a vegan diet help your skin? A growing amount of research says yes.
Plant-based dermatologist Dr. Niyati Sharma returns to the show to join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll and answer your questions!
- Can eating chocolate cause acne?
- What effect does coffee have on the skin?
- Can eating sugar cause acne?

Chuck also looks at an epic week for plant-based athletes and why their diet is leading them to victory!
Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton took home the checkered flag at the British Grand Prix. Just a few hours later, Novak Djokovic outlasted Roger Federer in an epic championship final for the ages to capture his fifth Wimbledon title and celebrated by plucking a few blades of grass off the court and having a snack. Leafy greens, right?!
And who forget about Alex Morgan? All she did was help lead the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team to a win at the World Cup and win the ESPY Award for Best Female Athlete!
So what is a plant-based diet really the secret to their success? We're going to find out as Chuck revisits an interview with Dr. James Loomis and dietitian Susan Levin who co-authored a study examining the effect of food on athletic performance. What the discovered were some of the strongest links yet between diet and post-workout recovery.
Dr. Loomis will also be featured in the highly anticipated upcoming documentary The Game Changers, a "revolutionary new documentary about meat, protein, and strength." It is set for a one-night special nationwide screening on September 16, 2019.
