The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

Shane Martin is a talented man. Some say the talented musician and kitchen whiz is also a health genius.   Just weeks shy of his 40th birthday he set on an epic health journey in which he ultimately reversed heart disease and diabetes while simultaneously returning high cholesterol and blood pressure to normal levels. Not to mention he also lost a tremendous amount of weight.   This self-described simple southern guy joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspiring journey and how his transformation blossomed into a healthy and successful career as the founder of the popular Shane and Simple blog.   At one time Shane believed his poor health would cut short his time with his wife and five children. Now he's looking forward to a long and bright future with the entire family. — — SHOW LINKS — — Shane Martin Website: https://shaneandsimple.com Baking Vegan Bread at Home Cookbook: https://amzn.to/4byZ4Lc Vegan Bread Machine Cookbook: https://amzn.to/4byrmFF IG: https://www.instagram.com/shaneandsimplecooking Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shaneandsimplecooking — — EVENTS — — Lotus Health Foundation Symposium – Rochester, MN Where: 125 LIVE and Rochester Golf and Country Club Date: May 16-17, 2024 Who: Chuck Carroll, Brenda Davis, RD, Dr. Amit Sood, Dr. Brian Carlsen Tickets: https://bit.ly/Lotus2024 — — — Planted Expo - Vancouver Where: Vancouver Convention Center West Date: June 1-2, 2024 Who: Chuck Carroll, Dr. Michael Greger, Carleigh Bodrug, Robert Cheeke, and more!
