Better Life Summits

With Susanna

Susanna

Mom of eight who lost 70+ pounds in just three years

Susanna

Susanna’s transformation from an obese, reclusive mother of eight to a vibrant health advocate began in February 2021 while watching The Truth About Weight Loss Summit. Growing up on a Standard American Diet and experiencing multiple life stressors – including her husband’s cancer scare and several miscarriages – combined with processed food addiction had led to significant weight gain.

At her mid-fifties and 80 pounds overweight, she discovered Chef AJ and embraced a Whole Food Plant Exclusive diet free from Sugar, Oil, Flour, Alcohol, and Salt (S.O.F.A.S). The results were transformative – not only did she lose all excess weight, but she’s maintained it for over two years while experiencing newfound food freedom and mental clarity.

In May 2023, encouraged by Chef AJ, Susanna embarked on a career in health coaching, earning both her McDougall Starch Solution Certification and Food Revolution Network Coaching Certification. Today, she divides her time between daily e-bike rides, her large family, and helping others achieve their health goals as a Success Coach for Chef AJ’s programs and Better Life Summits courses. She also serves as a moderator on Chef AJ’s YouTube channel, channeling her personal triumph into supporting others on their journey to wellness.

The Wake Up Call: How Chuck Went From 10,000 Calories A Day & 420 Pounds To A New Life

Chuck Carroll

Chuck Carroll — “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll lost an incredible 280 pounds to become “The Weight Loss Champion.” At one time, his 5-foot-5 frame once struggled to support the 420 pounds it was carrying around every day. With a 66-inch waist and 6XL shirt, Chuck’s daily diet was a 10,000-calorie fast food feast. Every bite was carrying him closer to an early grave and he knew that if he did not make drastic changes to break a severe food addiction he would be dead before his 30th birthday. Today he speaks passionately about breaking the fatal food cycle and helping others as host of The Exam Room podcast for PCRM. The show has been viewed and downloaded more than 100 million times combined on YouTube, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. It has also become the #1 ranked nutrition podcast in nearly 80 countries. Chuck was given the nickname of “The Weight Loss Champion” by a former NFL player after word of his transformation spread throughout the Washington Commanders locker room. Chuck has kept the weight off for 15 years and attributes his sustained success to eating a healthy plant-based diet. Outside of his work on The Exam Room podcast, Chuck is a well-traveled motivational speaker, inspiring others around the world to take control of their health. He is living proof that nothing is impossible, and the benefits of healthy eating know no bounds. Chuck believes knowledge is power and having the power to make healthier decisions, including eating a plant-based diet, is critical for living a long and rewarding life without the burden of chronic disease.
