James Wilks catches up with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the effect the groundbreaking documentary has had on sports worldwide and the reasons why more young athletes than ever before are giving up meat and dairy to gain an edge on their competitors. This includes major college football as Wilks gave a keynote address at the College Football Playoffs.

Wilks also gives a positive update on his father whose health struggles were well chronicled in the documentary.

Also covered:

  • How many calories James burns in his workouts.
  • Why a bigger focus on nutrition is leading to longer careers in pro sports.
  • The cardiovascular benefits plant-based athletes experience that can enhance performance.
  • Fearing carbs
  • Research coming out of The Game Changers Institute
  • Much more

Wilks will be speaking at the Fairfax VegFest in Herndon, Va., on April 28.
