Summary
A positive mindset can be ultra-important to improve your health.
Bryan Cressey, co-founder of one of the largest private equity firms in the U.S., has been vegan since 1997. He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share how eating a plant-based diet for more than a quarter century has helped him excel in business as much as with his own well-being. To Bryan, the benefits begin with your personal health and spill over into other areas of your life.
Also, revisit the day that Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. Neal Barnard broke the vegan internet! Chuck dives into The Exam Room archives to revisit a special live Q&A with two of the leading voices in health and nutrition!
Dr. Barnard and Dr. Greger answer these questions from The Doctor's Mailbag:
- How many nuts should you eat every day?
- Can vitamin D improve the immune system?
- What nutrient can naturally lower estrogen?
- How do the nutrients in white rice differ from brown rice?
- Should vegans have regular blood tests to check nutrient levels?
- And more!

| 0:06.4 | salesperson, and she wanted me to become vegan, and she would show me the pictures of |
