Ten years after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, Diandra Fields was dealt a second blow. Doctors again told her that she had cancer, this time in her breast.   While she is still in the fight, it is one she says she is winning, and she credits her devotion to eating a plant-based diet for helping her in this battle.   Why a plant-based diet? As someone with a master’s degree in molecular biology, for Diandra, it all comes down to evidence-based science. And she knew the challenges she would face and is helping to teach the team of doctors who are overseeing her care.   She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share her journey for the first time with the hope that she can help others who are in the trenches with her.

Diet scores have been ranked and researchers have calculated how much healthier your own diet could be by going vegan!   The scores reveal what happened when more than 200 people stopped eating meat and dairy and began eating an exclusively plant-based diet that is low in fat. While we have known for decades that eating more fruits and vegetables is healthy, this study shows precisely how big of an impact it can have.   The study also reveals the number one predictor for weight loss, and it’s not going to the gym! There is one type of food that prevented people from shedding unwanted pounds more than any other.   Lead researcher Dr. Hana Kahleova joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the findings and how they can be used to improve your health.   Dr. Vanita Rahman then returns to The Exam Room to share details on her new program for fighting hot flashes and how much better you might feel within a matter of weeks just by changing your diet.   Plus, Chuck reports on an alarming study for milk lovers that shows a connection between poor health and dairy consumption among heart disease patients. — — — Vegan Diet Score Study https://bit.ly/VeganDietScoreStudy — — — Dairy Heart Health Study https://bit.ly/SodaCancerStudy — — — Hot Flash Classes https://bit.ly/HotFlashesClasses — — — Albany VegFest & Comedy Show VegFest Tickets: https://bit.ly/AlbanyVegFest2022 Date: Sun. 10/2 Comedy Show Tickets: https://bit.ly/VeganComedyAlbany Date: Fri. 9/30 — — — Denver: Level Up Retreat Tickets: https://bit.ly/DenverLvlUpRetreat Dates: Thur. 10/20-Sat. 10/22 — — — Loudoun VegFest Tickets: https://bit.ly/LoudounVeg2022 Dates: Sun.
