Summary

Get to know the one of the iconic families of health and nutrition like never before!

Join Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, his wife Ann, and children Rip and Jane for an inside look at such a trailblazing family.

The group joined Dr. Neal Barnard and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for a special episode of The Exam Room Podcast at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., for a look back at Dr. Esseslstyn's incredible career and the immeasurable influence they've had on millions of lives around the world.

Dr. Esselstyn shares his advice for tapping into the healthiest parts of your DNA while turning off the genes responsible for chronic and deadly illnesses. He is living proof that his method works! He cites outliving members of his own family by decades after they all passed away at an early age.

Plus, 88-year-old Ann steals the show by pulling a tire that is twice her size to the astonishment of the sold-out crowd who filled the National Press Club for this once in a lifetime event!

Dr. Esselstyn and Rip also share their thoughts on the hazards of the keto diet and the serious repercussions of following misguided over the top social media influencers.
