Welcome to the Exam Room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee.

I am the Weight Loss Champion, Chuck Carroll.

Dr. Neil Barnard is away this week.

He's over in Europe speaking at a number of conferences, including the Unite to Care

Conference at the Vatican.

A very big honor.

He's going to be back on the program next week, but this week we're talking about low-fat,

low oil diets.

You know, a lot of people are more afraid to give up oil from their diet than anything

else, literally anything.

So we're going to be talking about that with Dr. Steve Neibor and Hana Kaliova from

the Barnard Medical Center.

You know, it was a very interesting conversation that I had with Dr. Kaliova about what happens

to your body on a cellular level and just how rapid those changes are after switching

to a plant-based diet.

She also explains the reversal of heart disease.

The way that she breaks it down is incredible.

But one of the things that I found most fascinating during our conversation is that she can

pretty much tell you what you've eaten for breakfast just by analyzing your blood.

So we'll find out how that works and we'll also learn about her new 16-week study that

shows another strong link between the benefits of a vegan diet and reversing diabetes.

But we start with Dr. Neibor.
