Summary
Your healthy heart comes into focus as Dr. Joel Kahn joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™.
The pair explore everything from helping protect your heart during the coronavirus pandemic using nutrition to the role Lipoprotein(a), which Dr. Kahn refers to as the heart's quiet killer.
Chuck also chats with former Seattle area firefighter Cindy Thompson who shed an amazing 60 pounds after adopting a plant-based diet and has kept it off for 10 years! But losing weight wasn't her only motivation for change. There was something far more powerful driving the cheese addict to give up meat and dairy.
The one thing she wasn't expecting on her journey? For her entire firehouse to take the plant-based plunge with her!
Today, Cindy is still changing lives as a Food For Life instructor and teaching the online course Cooking to Combat COVID-19.
Schedule a telemedicine appointment with doctors and dietitians at Barnard Medical Center. Available to residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Arizona, California, Colorado, New York, Missouri, and Massachusetts.
