Summary
Marco Antonio Regil had million-dollar endorsement deals with the likes of McDonald's and Nestlé. But the television superstar abruptly walked away from multiple lifetimes worth of financial security after going vegan because he could no longer in good conscious sell products that he knew were unhealthy.
The former host of the Spanish language versions of The Price Is Right and Family Feud joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast to talk about risking fame and fortune to follow his heart down a healthier path and help others along the way.
Also, the Plant Based MD, Dr. Judy Brangman, steps into The Exam Room to share the five basic nutrition rules she lives by to stay healthy!
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard examines how differently the body processes natural sugar found in fruit and refined sugar used in processed food.
