Joseph Blair is not a stereotypical vegan. He's a hulking giant at 6'10" and 255 pounds. And players and other coaches in the NBA are taking notice.   Blair is known "The Vegan Coach" on and off the court and his high-profile job as an assistant with the Washington Wizards enables him to talk about the benefits of his diet with some of the biggest names in the sport. He's also inspiring coaches on other teams to improve their health by dunking on plants at dinner.   He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to talk about his motivation for becoming one of the public faces of plant-based eating in the NBA, and how it has taken his life and health to the next level.   Topics Discussed - Best NBA cities for vegan food - Best vegan restaurants in Washington, D.C. - Could a plant-based diet extend a basketball player's career? - His strict fasting routine - Keeping up with players half his age at practice - Eating healthy on the road   — — OUR FRIENDS — — “The Vegan Coach” Joseph Blair Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjosephblair — — US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — EVENTS — — What: The Power Foods Revolution Where: Washington, DC - The National Press Club Date: March 26, 2024 Time: 7:00pm Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Chuck Carroll, Dustin Harder, Stefanie Ignoffo Tickets: https://bit.ly/PowerFoodsTixDC — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — SHARE THE SHOW — — Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
