Plant Strong Approach to Heart Disease | Rip Esselstyn | The Exam Room Podcast

Published 2024-08-05
The leading cause of death in the United States is heart disease. But it's still viewed as manly and macho to eat foods that can send you to an early grave.

It just doesn't make sense. But a former firefighter and high-level athlete is creating healthy hamburgers, pizza, and other "macho eats" to ensure no man card gets left behind while their risk of having a heart attack drops significantly.

PlantStrong founder Rip Esselstyn joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about his solutions for lowering the risk of heart disease.

On This Episode
- Hamburgers for health
- Pizza for clean arteries
- Healthy man card meals
- PlantStrong foods
- Natural flavors and gut disrupters
- And more

    Rip is a legend. So are all of Esselstyn family. Been following them for 10 years.

    Disappointed it was just one long Plantstrong commercial. I love Rip and Plantstrong, but I come here to learn and be inspired, not sold to
  • Ewe the Lion sounds awful!! Every Dr. is pushing the paleo keto carnivore diet and statins. I see so many eating no carb diets mainly meat. They are able to lower their A1C to under 5 -can you explain why the high fat is lowering the A1C? The dr was also claiming the heart is protected by eating healthy oils. I like your show so much. Thank You 😊
  • Thanks for sharing this video and knowledge. Rip proud of your dedication towards plant strong your an influence to us all. Much love #FitVeganChef. 🦍
  • I love the new PlantStrong milks, esp the the oat walnut blend. So good!
  • @WFPB_4_Life
    I'm a regular purchaser of the Plantstrong foods...they are all absolutely delicious. If you haven't tried any of the PS foods, I highly recommend the cornbread mix and the waffle/pancake mixes. They are amazing. 🌱💪
  • @richarddodds7256
    When you sell Plant Strong in Europe, I will certainly buy it. Meanwhile great respect for you both and Rip’s parents. :-)
  • Chuck, I love your fashion sense! Congratulations on losing the weight!
  • @waynerm401
    Are the Plant Strong products found on Amazon?

    its what's around the burger and steaks that raises your blood sugar and blood pressure.
  • I normally don't get most of the foods plantstrong puts out - because of the alliums in it that I'm sensitive to, but the lack of SOS is a huge plus - not to mention the new plant milks that froth and aren't even with added sugar nor saying 'natural flavors' just means so much. I align with a brand that literally has nothing to hide and all to show to make the best decisions with one's health!! If that's not being manly - simply by being upfront and a 'stand up' person - what is??? That's true strength to not be weak and hide, but bring forth everything that can be done to help another - that's peak comraderie right there if I've ever seen it! I like date sugar as an idea - it's the most eco and least unethical option you can find - because I've even picked dates off trees too in my city - they take very little water to grow to produce so much and take up pretty little space that they are able to put them in shopping centers.

    Strange how they never have warnings on processed food and meat dairy and eggs like COULD CAUSE HEART ISSUES BRAIN FOG ECT. Well not so strange really because it’s all about the MONEY MONEY MONEY. Thanks great information.
  • oh yeah! This manly vegan episode was entirely needed. What's manlier than someone starting a business and caring for lives around them? I can't think of any. Rip is the epitome of vegan manliness, along with chuck, Dr. Barnard, Robert Cheeke, etc. - it's great to show that men's health matters too - and that being vegan is masculine strength all by itself - you got to be strong to be vegan! PCRM's at it again with more important of topics! They're on fire - wow if that's not masculinity for PCRM as well - just being there for everyone for their livelihood - what is? Double whammy today - how cool was that?
