The Weight Loss Champion — Food Addiction & Radical Transformation
Speaking at Texas 2027.
Live Podcast Taping Main Auditorium
Chuck Carroll is one of the most recognizable voices in plant-based health — and living proof of everything this retreat stands for. At 5'6" he once weighed 420 pounds, trapped in a 10,000-calorie-a-day fast-food addiction and convinced he wouldn't see 30. Then he went whole-food plant-based and lost 275 pounds — keeping it off for more than 15 years. An NFL player he was interviewing dubbed him "The Weight Loss Champion," and the name stuck.
Today Chuck is the host of The Exam Room™, the flagship podcast of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine — a 2026 VegNews Veggie Award nominee that ranks in the top 0.1% of all podcasts worldwide, reaching hundreds of thousands of health-seekers alongside Dr. Neal Barnard and the world's leading plant-based physicians. A former sports and news broadcaster for CBS and NBC News Radio, he tells the story of transformation like no one else can.
And he's not just speaking — Chuck will record a live episode of The Exam Room right here at the Texas retreat, putting you in the room where it happens. If you've ever doubted that real, lasting change is possible, this is the session that will convince you.
