The Big Changes That Happen When You Eat Healthy For Just Two Weeks | Dr. Neal Barnard

The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

Your body reacts to a healthy diet far faster than numbers fall on a scale.

Long before you begin losing weight your body begins to transform radically inside. One of the biggest benefits is dramatically reduced cellular inflammation. This subsequently lowers the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Neal Barnard reviews a South African study showing how quickly the benefits of a healthy diet can take shape as he joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

The study examines people who are put on a predominantly whole food plant-based diet for two weeks and compares them to those eating a popular higher fat Western diet, and vice versa. The results are incredible!

This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.
