Twins: One Goes Vegan, One Doesn't. This Is What Happens!

Published: July 2, 2020, 7 a.m.

What happens when identical twins eat two completely different diets? Hugo and Ross Turner wanted to know. For 12 weeks one of them went vegan while the other continued eating meat and dairy. What happened during that time was amazing!

They join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about how their experiences differed. One lost more weight, one gained more energy, one lowered their cholesterol, and that's just the start!

The Turner Twins' story has captured the world and now they're sharing it on The Exam Room\u2122.

Also on the show, Dr. Jasmol Sardana, aka Dr. Jazz, returns to answer your questions as Chuck opens the Doctor's Mailbag.

Among the questions answered:

\xa0

- How can an elderly person improve their immune system?

- How low is too low for A1C levels on a vegan diet?
