Chuck Carroll once weighed 420 pounds… And he’s just 5 feet 6 inches tall. His 10,000 calorie daily diet was sending him to an early grave, but instead of going 6-feet under he’s now living proof that change is possible after losing an astounding 280 pounds and keeping it off for more than 11 years. Chuck is also the host of the Physician’s Committee’s Exam Room Podcast.

A shoutout to our sponsor, Complement. Developed by vegan dietitian Dr. Pamela Fergusson, and the NoMeat Athlete, Matt Frazier, Complement enables you to get your vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) in an easy once-a-day spray. The good folks at Complement also have Complement Plus, a vegan vitamin capsule that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, magnesium,and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell).
