Robert Klein came face-to-face with his mortality. The young father had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
\xa0
After a painful surgery, he felt more needed to be done to help prevent the deadly disease from returning. The foodie from New York then made what could be the hardest decision of his life. The steak and pizza aficionado radically changed his diet and became vegan. Years later with his cancer still in remission he proudly boasts the nickname of "Broccoli Rob."

Along the way he's discovered two things: He can still enjoy pizza and that he loves to run! He's competed in the New York City Marathon and become a master of ordering the perfect vegan pizza in a city where those pies are legendary.

He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on this unforgettable episode.

Plus, Dustin Harder stops by with details on the Chef Challenge at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, DC this August. All chefs interested in bringing plant-based dishes to their hospitals are welcome to apply. Cash prizes are up for grabs!
