Summary

"The healing power of the body is not something you don't want to take advantage of. No matter what other treatments you need, take advantage of that one." – Dr. Neal Barnard

Dr. Barnard is absolutely right! The best way that we can take care of our bodies β€” the very machines that have the power to heal themselves β€” is to put good clean fuel in the engine. And the best fuel that we have available is healthy food.

On this episode of The Exam Roomβ„’ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Barnard live in front of a sold out crowd in Washington, DC to talk about the new science of food, hormones, and health. This is the finale of the powerful Your Body In Balance series.

Join Chuck and Dr. Barnard for a deeper look at how the body is able to repair itself and the hormonal connection between diet and conditions such as acne, diabetes, endometriosis, hot flashes that accompany menopause, and many others.

Plus, Dr. Barnard answers questions from the crowd!
