Summary
Have we known the roadmap to treat the COVID-19 virus all along? Dr. T. Colin Campbell joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss how his groundbreaking research for The China Study decades ago may have provided a key to a better prognosis for today's coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Campbell is confident that there is enough evidence to make a strong hypothesis about the steps people should be taking to combat the virus.
And is it a coincidence that the United States has more total cases of COVID-19 than any other country in the world while also staking claim to one of the highest obesity rates? Dr. Campbell and Chuck also ponder how the standard American diet might be fueling the pandemic in the U.S.
Plus, filmmaker Nelson Campbell, founder of Plant Pure Nation, follows his father on the show to discuss the efforts he and his team are making to help during the pandemic, including a global program designed to encourage people to change their diet. His goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge worldwide to help people grow into healthier lives.
"The diet that will prevent and reverse chronic disease, it stands to reason that it would also help with infectious disease. Health is health is health no matter what you're talking about with respect to your body," Nelson Campbell said.

| 0:19.8 | Well, hello there! And welcome to the Exam Room Podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. |
| 0:34.2 | Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll. Thank you so very much for giving the show a |
| 0:39.3 | listen, or a view, or a download. Wherever it is in the world that you are, we appreciate the fact that you |
| 0:47.6 | are here. Speaking with a couple of questions, do we already know what the best course of treatment is |
| 0:59.9 | for COVID-19? And have we actually known for decades? My guest today is a legend in the nutrition |
| 1:11.0 | world and has dedicated his life to exploring the connection between our health and our diet. |
| 1:18.4 | And he says the answer to both of those questions is yes. Dr. T. Colling Campbell says what he learned |
| 1:28.5 | about viruses while conducting the ground-breaking China study decades ago could be the key to |
| 1:35.7 | dealing with the current coronavirus. She'll hear it's an idea that he is quite excited about. |
| 1:44.4 | I had the opportunity to speak with him during the virtual Fairfax Vege Fest over the weekend, |
| 1:49.7 | and this 40-minute conversation was nothing short of extraordinary. And I'm telling you, |

| 2:11.2 | our future. Dr. Campbell also talks about a new book that he has in the works. One based on taking a |
| 2:20.5 | look back at the history of nutrition research all the way back more than 200 years. |
| 2:29.9 | Even back then, we were learning about the connection between food and our health. |
| 2:38.2 | So have we really known all of these answers for all of these years? |
| 2:45.6 | And how then did we ever get so lost in terms of our health? |
| 2:51.3 | This today is perhaps one of the most intriguing interviews we've ever done here on the exam room. |
