The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been listening to the weekly episodes forever, and just have to say that it has given me something to look forward to on my drive home or time at the gym. As a plant based eater for 25 years, I still want the advice to be science-backed/evidence-based, and not just anecdotal. I commend your podcast for striving to raise all of out health IQs. That being said, I always remember the stories and appreciate that even if I am listening to an expert share the latest research, I am also tapping into my community, and hearing our stories. Which like many, when you’re in the middle of no where (and your neighbors hunt and fish or farm animals), it can feel lonely without these connectors. I so appreciate Chuck and his approach to the interviews, and always bringing out the best out of people, it is a real art! I also want to say that I appreciate your vulnerability in sharing your health challenges recently. As someone who has battled chronic health autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and nerve related GI disorder, I completely understand how hard it can be to put on a happy face and keep on perservering,as the energy bank doesn’t always tell you when it withdraws. Learning to love my body anyways has been a journey. I am sending you all the positive healing Qi, and kudos to you for addressing how stress manifests for you. Stress and complex trauma has been a huge healing pillar for me, and just like diet, you can’t skip steps. Just know that you are enough, and just by sharing your story you are helping many others feel seen and heard. Being real in this feild is necessary, and you are doing a phenomenal job. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I’m continually impressed by the quality and usefulness of this podcast. And good use of humor! The interviewees are top notch with recent, reputable research, all presented in a useful, user-friendly way. There’s no hidden agenda here- they’re just trying to get the best information out there for us to use. Thank you!

Look forward to every new episode. Always learn something and often pass the episode along to friends who will be interested. Thank you!

Chuck, your own health journey is such an inspiration to us all. I love the content you present and the passion you exhibit for helping the masses to become as healthy as possible and live their best lives. Your guests are health and nutrition experts and very well respected and their advice is attainable and life changing. I look forward to each and every episode and have been working to clean up my own diet so that I can also live my best life. This podcast is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you!
