The Dark Side of Ultra-Processed Foods | Food Addiction | Interview With Chuck Carroll

In this episode, Bailey engages in a discussion with Chuck Carroll, the host of The Exam Room Podcast and a passionate health advocate. They delve into the topic of food addiction and explore the link between our chronic diseases and the prevalence of ultra-processed fast food & junk food in our Western society. Chuck shares his personal journey of overcoming food addiction, shedding an astonishing 280 pounds and transforming his perspective on nutrition towards a more plant-based approach. As an advocate for healthy eating, he now inspires others who are struggling with food addiction, offering a message of hope.
Chuck, who serves as the lead host for The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, has had the privilege of interviewing some of the most knowledgeable and influential experts in the food and health fields. His magnetic charisma and wealth of information bring a captivating energy to the conversation.
Over the past two decades, our society has inadvertently constructed a food system filled with excessively high levels of sodium, calories, chemicals, and artificial dyes. The prevalence of fast food options that cater to our fast-paced lifestyles has contributed to a rise in chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, childhood obesity, and adult obesity. Bailey and Chuck encourage listeners to reassess their relationship with food and to delve deeper into understanding the origins, production methods, and ingredients of the food they consume. By educating ourselves about the food system, we empower ourselves as consumers. This special episode is not to be missed!
