Jim Greenbaum walked away from successful $130 million business with one mission in mind, use his wealth to change the world. Little did he know that his world was about to change as well.   It all began with a conversation at the gym.   Those few minutes helped this man with exceptional generosity and a tireless work ethic to help others began to realize that he too needed help.   After growing up in the land of Crisco, red meat, and Coca-Cola, Jim knew he had to do something to avoid the same fate as others in his family who were stricken with heart disease. He was already struggling with high triglycerides and cholesterol.   Jim was given a copy of The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and began implementing changes. It only took one month for "everything to go into total balance" for the first time in his life.   The effect was so profound that Jim shifted the focus and vast resources of his foundation to moving the world toward a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle.   Generosity is alive and well. — — GIVING TUESDAY — — Support PCRM today and your donation will automatically be doubled through Giving Tuesday on Nov. 28.

After losing 100 pounds himself, a doctor is rethinking how to help his overweight patients.   Cardiologist Dr. Steve Lome joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. Dr. Lome believes nothing can change until the root of the obesity epidemic is addressed.   He disagrees that there is no money in a cure. Instead, Dr. Lome says there's a path forward for everyone to win. Doctors and medical providers can still remain profitable while patients can lose weight, keep it off, and address the underlying medical conditions that have caused their quality of life and bank accounts to suffer.   It is Dr. Lome's belief that the financial and physical suffering will end through a new approach to weight loss. And it's an approach that he's already proven can work through his own eye-opening weight loss!   — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Benefits - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events   The first interview is with Dr. Michael Greger on Nov. 20.
