Going Vegan To Keep Cancer In Remission: "Broccoli Rob" Klein | The Exam Room Podcast

Robert Klein came face-to-face with his mortality. The young father had been diagnosed with testicular cancer. After a painful surgery he felt more needed to be done to help prevent the deadly disease from ever returning. The foodie from New York then made the what could be the hardest decision of his life. The steak and pizza aficionado radically changed his diet and became vegan. At one point it was unthinkable, but 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.
