The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee10 Huhti 2019

What If The Whole World Went Vegan?

What if the whole world went vegan?! It's an intriguing question with the answer impacting both our health and that of the environment. Indeed, it is a win-win!

In this episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast, Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss the enormous environmental implications of adopting a plant-based diet. Thirty percent of total greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to food production with animal products accounting for the majority of that, according to leading scientific researchers. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Dr. Barnard and Chuck also review a study where researchers determined what would happen if everyone on the planet adopted a plant-based diet by 2050. What they found will not only help the environment and improve human health, but it can also save more than a trillion dollars.

Then, Chuck sits down with Gwynn Whittaker who left a lucrative career in the IT and national security fields behind after prematurely losing her fiancé to heart attack. She now devotes her time to improving the health and quality of life others so they don't have to suffer the same loss. Whittaker has opened a whole-food plant-based restaurant, GreenFare Organic Café, just outside Washington, D.C. where hundreds have completed the Physicians Committee's 21-day Vegan Kickstart that is offered there. Many have gone from couch potatoes to avid marathoners and have significantly improved their chances of living a long and healthy life!

Whittaker is also gearing up for Fairfax VegFest on April 13 where Dr. Barnard, Dr. Jim Loomis, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell will be speaking. Dietician and frequent guest of The Exam Room regular Lee Crosby will also be lecturing on 'The Truth About Keto Diets' and Chuck will be recording episodes of the podcast live!
