Claudia Jordan’s Embarrassing Foot Condition | Dr. Oz | S6 | Ep 119 | Full Episode
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
If you've ever seen the real housewives of Atlanta, you know it's all about the drama.
And the newest cast member, Claudia Jordan, fits right into the mix.
They've been taking on Atlanta Housewife Matriarch, Mini Leaks.
A lot of activity.
Claudia's fellow housewives aren't the only things irritating her.
She recently revealed a medical condition, multiple corns on her feet that she's lived with for years.
Wait till you see them.
And today I'm going to offer up some help.
Claudia Jordan, come on out.
Woo!
We're so happy.
Thank you, boy.
Come out and see.
Oh my God, you're like, wait till you see them.
We are going to look at them in a second.
I got to ask.
It gets pretty heated on the set there.
What irritates you more, your relationship with fellow housewife Nini Leaks or the corns?
My corns are extremely annoying, but they're nowhere near as obnoxious as Nini Leaks.
I can cover my corns up.
But they don't talk back.
So Nidhi's been on the show.
You guys don't get along for personality reasons, or it's just...
She asked me to take over for a job that she couldn't do one time years ago, and she was following me on Twitter for years.
So I didn't think we had an issue.
So when I got there, I was kind of surprised that she kind of was acting like that.
But I know people put off the TV.
They had to get their moment.
All right.
Let's talk about your corns.
First of all, I am curious that you're being public about them.
Have they been a long-standing issue and why are you talking about them now?
I've had an issue since I was in college.
I ran track and I was all-American in track and field.
And when we would continue to-good for you.
I was a sprinter, but I would wear track spikes that were like a size too small because I felt like I gripped the track better.
But when I took my shoes off, my feet would be irritated and my toes would kind of be like this.
Then I became a model on deal and no deal, and I'd like, you know, 19-hour days in heels, and a lot of times it'd be brand new shoes.
They maybe weren't the best-fitting shoes.
So a lot of us have feet kind of like dancers.
So mine just, I mean, the skin on my feet, they're just really sensitive.
And it's tough sometimes when you're dating.
Especially now, ever since the movie Boomerang came out, nobody cared about feet until Eddie Murphy made it a big deal.
And now it's like, I'm like, I'm going to keep my socks on.
Well, to paraphrase Eddie Murphy, can I see your feet?
You can.
Don't judge me.
So I've got a corn cam, a special corn cam that I got you.
I don't want the audience to miss any part of this.
No, a corn.
Can you like like make it like a soft focus and maybe like gem the lights a little bit?
A romantic ambiance?
It's one thing I'm extremely insecure about.
So this is like I'm doing this for the sisters out there, the women out there who have bad feet.
Yeah.
I am your mascot.
It is a brave thing to do because a lot of women would never be caught without their shoes on.
You'll say that as I take my food, my shoe off.
Well, I think, first of all, you're doing the right thing.
And of course, I can go through this entire audience and do the exact same thing.
So let's start with yours, your little cords.
Okay.
They're a natural hip-hop.
It's like Cinderella.
All right, so.
They're so close.
Well, I'm just looking.
But don't wiggle all the time.
I don't want you to focus in on them.
So, a couple things on cords.
Okay.
Obviously, they're adaptive.
They're thick, hardened layers.
They are.
Look at that one on the end.
Oh, is that the one you pick with that little top?
That's the big one.
Yeah, that.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty.
It's like a little pearl stuck in there.
Don't judge me.
So, here's the thing.
These are actually very adaptive.
They form on joints that are being rubbed on against friction, pressure, as you know.
Running in those shoes with them.
Not wearing socks does this.
Do you wear socks much?
No.
Yeah.
Because socks will provide a little bit of cushioning for that.
And then the other thing is, of course, if you have hammer toes, or if you have bunions, you don't have a bunion.
Nope.
But this is a little bit of a hammer toe, probably from being in those shoes for a lot of times.
So it pushes up like that.
And as it pushes up like that, it'll start to...
You have your years of abuse, which, you know, sort of predictable.
But the good news is there are things we can do about it.
What have you, first of all, how long have you had them?
Since college?
Since college, so that was quite a while ago because I'm 41 years old now, so it's been a while.
So that's when they first started.
And there was a time where I would wear flats and they got a little bit better and I would get pedicures and they looked, you know, presentable somewhat, but then back in the heels.
And I will tell you, the expensive shoes were way more damaging on my feet.
They were.
They were, and I just don't understand how they can justify the prices on these shoes if they're going to cause this kind of damage.
So I look at these shoes here.
This is like a chain.
That is a chain.
All right, so you have these high heels, which is what you normally wear?
I usually wear higher ones than those.
Higher than this?
Yeah.
Like stilts.
Right.
And is there a problem with pain or is it a cosmetic aspect of the corners that bother you?
The problem is, well, it doesn't hurt.
My feet don't, my corners do not hurt.
They're just extremely hideous.
And now, you know, being on such a big show or just being in the business, like when you go on a red carpet, you guys, the photographers, they're so sneaky.
They'll put the camera on your toes and you think you're looking at the face and you're just doing all of this.
And they got the camera on your toes, and it ends up on this weird website where they're like celebrity toes that are jacked up.
They're like, I'm thinking you're looking at my smile.
Oh, he got a close-up of my feet.
And it's humiliating.
So I just figured, you know what, I'm going to be on the show.
I mean, I'd rather take ownership of my flaws myself instead of someone else pointing them out.
And why not?
Absolutely.
Why not?
Absolutely.
You go.
And it's not like I did anything wrong.
I mean, this is something that happens when you wear a certain type of shoes.
And since it's happened, my inbox on Facebook and on Instagram, I got so many people send me pictures of their feet that are just as bad, if not worse.
And they're like, thank you for being brave because I've been embarrassed and I don't know what to do.
And so if it helps people kind of deal with it and make them feel a little bit more comfortable, like if she can do it, I can do it, then so be it.
You've become the corn queen.
And I'm proud of you.
Come on over.
What have doctors told you about this in the past?
You just lean on me.
I'll hobble this way.
You hop.
You got me?
Yeah, I've got you.
Go.
Hobble like that.
All right.
So have doctors tried to do much for these things?
Okay, I went to one doctor.
And I went to two doctors.
And one was like, much like yourself.
She said, listen, if it's not in pain, I really couldn't justify doing surgery.
It's the cosmetic thing.
And then another doctor that just really wanted to take my money said, you know what I could do for like $4,500.
I just got to cut the tendon and then you'd be okay.
I'm like, I'm like, wait, wait, wait, hold up.
It sounded very medieval.
And he said he wanted to cut the tendon so the toes will lay flat or remove part of the joint.
And I'm thinking, I still want to be able to run.
I still want to be able to, you know, wear heels.
And I don't think, I'm like, okay, am I hurting my body long term for a cosmetic issue?
I don't want to do that.
Indications for foot surgery are pain, pain, and more pain.
Do not touch those feet with a scalpel unless you've got pain.
Now, that's stated, I've got a little home remedy for you that could help you out.
Okay.
That a lot of reviewers use.
You know about the salicylic acid pastures, right?
But this is something different.
So this is a special foot bath.
Put your foot in there, enjoy yourself.
Get comfortable in there.
Now, in that foot bath, and I want everyone at home can do this as well.
Is that like hydrochloric acid?
It's an acid, but not hydrochloric acid.
It's very gentle acid.
It's apple cider vinegar.
It's a bit acidic.
You'll like the smell, right?
And that actually softens up the skin.
So 15 minutes after this, go ahead and put your feet up on here.
Would you recommend, you know, when you go to the nail shop, they want to like file stuff down and cut stuff.
Is that dangerous?
If they do it gently.
I don't like to file with anything sharp.
I like puma stones, which I think are fine.
In fact, after you do this, you take a puma stone.
You can gently rub it like that.
Again, you can't feel it, but when you begin to feel it, it means you've gone deep enough.
And then here's the big thing.
See, I've roughed that up a little bit.
My corn cam's gone, but you can sort of see that everybody.
It's fine.
We can leave that over here.
Then you're going to take a little castor oil, and here's the magic solution.
A little castor oil.
Just dab it on there and let that soak.
And over about 10 days, you'll see that get softer and softer.
But I've got to say something to you.
And I think you're a smart woman, obviously.
You know this already.
If you keep wearing those high-heeled shoes that you're wearing, you're never going to be able to get into a situation where these things can heal themselves.
Because this is a scar protecting you.
So I want you to try wearing flat shoes.
But I realize that you don't like wearing flat shoes because you don't like seeing those corns.
When I was living in New York, I wore flat shoes every day pretty much for like nine months.
I rarely wore heels.
I gave them a little bit of a rest.
But then back in Atlanta, we have to be glam all the time.
So back into the high heels I went.
I made something very special for you.
You have.
I have corn cover-ups for the first time ever.
And they're especially for you because Mini Leaks is on the corn cover-up.
So you just put these on like this, and you're basically, I'm going to send a few of these extra home with you like that.
All the ones you need from me.
So take those back.
This is the Mini Leaks appearance and give those extra ones to her.
I have a whole year supply that you'll enjoy them.
Thank you.
It was really a pleasure.
You can see Claudia on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Sunday nights on Bravo.
You can find out more about her in an exclusive Oz5 video on Oz.com.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Coming up next.
They're Hollywood's biggest health headlines.
The stories everyone is talking about.
From high-fatched battle over IBS to painful procedures.
Get the insights too from a panel of top celebrity experts.
Coming up next.
Oh, you are.
One of your biggest addictions.
Cards.
But your love affair with bread and potato doesn't have to add.
I'm excited about this because we've got two really big new ideas.
The plan to eat cards?
The VCA.
What?
What?
Tell me about the newest celebrity health brand.
Will it be Bravo or Bravo?
No.
All new ones.
That's coming up tomorrow.
Hollywood's biggest health headlines.
I want to get the inside scoop from a panel of top celebrity experts.
Alicia Quarles is here from E-News, a correspondent there.
Caitlin Becker back to the host of UPPO Live.
And of course, AJ Calley, my good friend, is a correspondent for Extra.
He's on his best behavior today.
Let's get right to it.
First, the story that everyone's talking about, Robert Durst.
I gotta say, before we get into the background here, what I'm most interested in is why he agreed to do the documentary in the first place.
So AJ, bring us up a date.
Okay, so there was a fictional movie about himself.
He saw it.
He called the producer, said that it would be a good idea to do an interview.
He decided to do this interview and went into the restroom, still mic'd up, and kind of was talking to himself and confessed.
There's a fascinating article in the Washington Post where it breaks down why he would agree to do this interview.
His lawyer said, do not do this.
I'm not advising it.
Don't do it.
This is a guy that has allegedly murdered three people.
He's saying, stay away from it.
But then it breaks down his psyche.
It says he's a narcissist.
And also people want star power.
So even the fact that, you know, he knows he's probably guilty, he just couldn't stay away from that camera.
Why wouldn't he do it?
Why wouldn't he do it?
He's in the last chapter of his life.
He's gotten, essentially gotten away with murder.
He admitted on the stand to dismembering the body of a human being and walked.
Why wouldn't he do it at this point?
He's basically untouchable.
So he's clearly a sociopath.
But then if you think about sociopaths, what is it that, and by the way, people who kill people like the way he probably did?
Here's some characteristics.
Inappropriate self-esteem.
So he's being told he's fantastic.
It's inflated, but it's not true.
He knows it's not true.
He can't deal with that.
A lack of empathy, a lack of sense of worthiness.
And so then he gets jealous and almost angry, I think, that he's not getting the credit for getting away with these murders.
That's exactly what that article said.
There's no way he should have done that.
And during the alleged sort of confession, I don't know if he's confessing or not.
The audio is picking him up in the restroom, and it sounds like he's having one half of a phone conversation.
He's posing questions.
He's answering questions that haven't been asked.
It sounds like he's talking to someone that we don't hear.
Okay, they move on to designers, Dolce and Gabbana.
They are under fire for the comments about babies born via IVF, which I was sort of surprised by.
AG, what were the comments?
The comments were, they called them synthetic babies.
And they also said that they don't feel that gays should be able to adopt, which infuriated so many celebrities, including Elton John, and they called out for a boycott against Dolce and Gabbana.
Got Elton's posterior to see.
He says, how dare you refer to my beautiful children as synthetic?
That's the actual word they use.
And just before we get into the discussion, Dolce and Gabbana stood by their statements.
They added, we oppose gay adoptions.
They're gay, of course.
They oppose gay adoptions.
The only family is a traditional one.
I should emphasize that one in 10 women have trouble getting pregnant.
2% of all babies born now are IVFs.
So what gives?
This is infuriating on so many levels.
They were a couple for 23 years.
At one point, they wanted to have their own family.
And they made these comments saying that they grew up in love in a traditional family.
A family is what you make it.
You can have a mother parent and a father parent and not be the best home.
It's what you make it.
So I'm proud of all these celebrities for standing up.
I just interviewed Andy Cohen, who's selling his Dulcing Gabbana stuff for charity.
I think that the crazy part is they gave a second interview to CNN just doing the worst job backpedaling.
It was terrible, which they essentially just went out there and said, you know what?
We love everyone.
Everybody's fine.
We love everyone.
This boycott is a terrible idea.
You know, you can see what they're doing.
They, on one hand, said, you know, these are our views and we love everyone and that's all okay, but don't boycott our clothes.
That's medieval is what they refer to as that's that's medieval.
And it's so interesting to sort of stand by comments and stand by your freedom of expression and then get irritated when people don't want to express themselves in your clothing because they don't agree with what you're saying.
I think it's a bit of a reflection of how fast we're evolving as a people.
Now when you're making that many babies, miracles.
Because parents desperately want to have children.
Of course they can't have them oftentimes.
So when that happens and our society can't keep up, we end up with this friction.
But this is how we evolve.
Most people in this audience, I think, would agree that you'd be celebrating a family that had a child because they wanted its best they were.
Right.
Jimmy Kimmel.
We all love him.
He opened up recently about a very painful opening in his body.
He was actually very honest about a process.
JJ, you want to be the lead on this one?
This is a topic you and I might suffer from, but the women present.
Really?
I don't know if I would share it.
Even on Dr. Roger, anyway, Jimmy Kimmel was at South by Southwest, and he spoke about a procedure he had on his uretha.
And it was closing up, I guess, and they went in and opened up, and then they had to go in there again and open it up.
Which.
I've got to give a shout out.
Y'all know what he's talking about.
Oh, he shared a lot.
Shout out to our Mark Malcolm from E, who broke the story.
He did the interview.
He shared with Mark.
But I say good for Kimmel.
As women, we're forced to share a whole lot, right?
Men never talk about these kind of things.
I didn't even know about this, so I think he started a conversation at least.
So these urethral strictures, they happen from trauma, from inflammation, and infectious things like that.
And oftentimes you get this urge to go to the bathroom, and you can't because the straw is stuck, so to speak.
So I've been corresponding with him, and he says he's doing fine.
He's enjoying the joys of urination.
Just we all.
We're very happy for Jimmy.
I was at South by Southwest, and I was just taping in his after party.
He looked like he was in good spirits.
And part of his health conference, I was there for the health part, so it was actually apropos that he was speaking about this.
Jimmy, he has turned his life around.
He's in great shape and lost weight and dealt with a lot of the issues a lot of us delayed dealing with.
So kudos to him.
Isn't it a great thing that he shared it?
So many people not only would be too embarrassed to tell their significant other or their best friend, but what about people who are too scared to go to the doctor?
Now you have a celebrity like this saying, hey, this is kind of embarrassing.
This is uncomfortable.
I got help.
It's okay.
You can too.
And men don't talk about health like that.
AJ, you can.
They really don't.
I'm just kidding.
What do you got to share, AJ?
Anything?
No.
I'd love to have you all here.
We'll be right back.
Thanks to my panelists.
Have a health question?
Ask on Dr.Oz.com and get answers directly from Dr. Oz and his team of experts.

Next.
Trying to cook healthier but all you creator kitchen catastrophes?
Give your family meals they can enjoy.
Lydia Box Diana's here to help the worst healthy cooks in America.
Easy healthy tips to solve all your cooking dilemmas.
Coming up next.
All nuance.
And hacking one of your biggest addictions.
Carbs.
But your love affair with bread and pasta doesn't have to end.
I'm excited about this because we've got two really big new ideas.
The plan to eat carbs to beat carbs.
What?
Dancing with the star judge Bruno Tony Owens with the newest celebrity health brands.
I'm turning myself up.
Will it be bravo or bravo?
No.
All nuance.
That's coming up tomorrow.
Thank you.
You have the best intentions and all the waiting ingredients to cook the healthy meals.
You set out to make this, but it turns into this.
I know you've all been there.
Or you're hoping to make these little babies here.
Ooh.
And you serve your family these.
Not so happy.
So when I received an SOS call from a Maryland family who say they live with the worst health cook in America, I knew I had to step in.
Take a look.
My wife has been trying to cook healthy, but me and the kids can't take it anymore.
It's gusting.
Everything she cooks is either mushy or tasteless.
I don't like it.
She has to be the worst healthy cook in America.
What are those?
King Boi?
More like quing wow.
This is disgusting.
That is harsh.
Tanisha is here.
Did you have any idea it had gotten that bad?
No, I had no idea.
He's in trouble when I get home too.
I agree.
So I'm sorry.
Do you have trouble cooking just healthy foods?
Is it all foods?
No, it's just healthy foods.
I can cook the rich foods like for holidays and things like that, but just the healthy foods that I'm trying to get the kids to eat.
All right, so you did us a favor.
Tanisha actually brought in an example of why her family has labeled her the worst healthy cook in America.
Let me just look at this.
Well, it's not as, I guess, what it probably would have looked like if you'd, well, I don't know.
It's a little dry.
It looks a little dry.
What is this actually?
Looks like Sahara Desert.
It is a zucchini and ground turkey casserole.
It was supposed to start off creamy, but it was kind of dry.
So sometimes I'd like to add cheese to get it looking a little better.
It didn't work, yeah.
And thus the looks on your kids and your husband.
All right, here's the thing.
I want you all to be healthy, and I want healthy food to be something that your family will enjoy.
So you are in great luck today because I brought you a good friend, celebrity chef Lydia Bastiana.
She's here with tips for all at Home Healthy Clubs.
We feel like the chefs are in their own kitchen, but they're not really in there.
Come on out, video.
Welcome, Lydia.
Tanisha, a story.
How common is it?
Very common, Tanisha.
Don't lose your spirit because I hear this all the time.
And it's very easy to be corrected.
It's very correctable.
Okay.
You're a grandma, right?
Five kids?
Five times over.
I'm a grandma, and they're about the age of yours.
Actually, mine are a little bigger.
So what is the key to fixing this problem of being a healthy cook and at the same time getting kids to embrace it?
The key is, because you want to be healthy also, I heard.
Yeah.
So it's getting choosing the primary ingredients, the right primary ingredients.
Be conscious about your pasta.
Be conscious about buying vegetables and using vegetables, using lighter meats, chickens, fish, or less of the more tasty meats.
It's okay.
You want some crumbled sausages?
Don't put whole sausages.
Open it up, crumble it up, and put a little crumbles in there.
And that'll give you a lot of flavor, texture, and you don't need a lot of it to make it flavorful.
That's my problem.
That's nice to work on that a little bit.
The one dish that you cannot get right is this zucchini casserole, ground turkey casserole that I think we saw evidence of.
So, Lydia, if you don't mind, show us your recipe, your way of making this.
Okay.
So, this is basically a casserole.
It ends up a casserole like yours.
With pasta.
Your kids love pasta?
They do.
Okay, so the choice is first.
Whole wheat pasta.
Will they know the difference?
Not really.
And the sauce now?
Tomatoes, plum tomatoes, some nice zucchini, sliced zucchini.
You have onions, you have your proteins, chicken in there.
Now, you can put shrimp in there.
You can put whatever, like fish in there and substitute it.
Throw in the pasta.
Go ahead.
The pasta is cooked, but it's always a little bit undercooked.
I leave it because I don't like mushy pasta.
Do you like mushy pasta?
I do not.
Okay.
So you like it, but I don't.
No, no.
Again, you've got to teach.
No, no, put some more in.
Put some more in.
We have to fill this.
We have to fill this.
That's it.
No, you're doing okay.
You're doing okay.
All right.
So here we are.
What I would do this now.
I would add a little bit of the grated cheese.
Go ahead, you mix.
And I add.
Okay.
So now we're flavoring this.
You know, the question is of the flavor.
Fresh herbs, a great source of diversity of flavor and bringing that freshness.
Do your kids object to that?
They like that?
They like flavor.
Mine just never has any.
Well, are we getting there?
A little bit of cheese.
You notice all of this, this is cooking.
The pasta is cooking in the sauce.
It's absorbing the flavors.
We're getting there.
Lots of fresh basin.
Okay.
So how do you layer this now?
You just dump it all in there at once?
So now, no, no, nice and easy.
We'll do it.
Go ahead.
Now you do it.
You've done this.
Do a layer of that.
Like put about half of it.
And it's okay if it's a little bit of moisture in the bottom because as it cooks, it will absorb.
Actually, you need a little bit.
Okay.
I heard you're saying that yours is a little dry.
Yes, most of the time.
Okay, so this is how you avoid that step.
So here we are.
Halfway through, we'll put a little bit of cheese again for flavor.
We'll put a little bit of the mozzarella, fontina, nice flavorful cheese in between.
So when they get in there, when they get in there, there's a little surprise and flavor.
Now let's put the rest of them.
Okay.
And what do you put on the very top?
Again, some more cheese, the same thing.
Same layer?
The same thing, a layer on top.
And I say more for the top because I like that crust.
And you know, something like this is great when your kids bring home their friends and whatever.
You put it in the oven.
So how long do you leave it in the oven for?
Well, this is just about everything.
It's just about cooked.
You can put a little more.
So I would say about 20 minutes, 30 minutes.
If you want to give yourself more time, you put a foil paper on top of it.
Let it kind of get really warm.
Because you can prepare this and leave it cool.
And you can prepare it and almost leave it in the refrigerator when you come home.
Oh, yes.
You put the top, the cheese, and put it in the oven.
Let's see if you like the taste.
Would your family like that taste?
Is the question?
They will love it.
They'll love you.
We're going to love you too.
Thank you very much.
Lydia's got a new children's book out.
Lydia's Egg Citing Farm Adventure, Pardon the Pun.
Help you and your family learn to cook healthy at home just as we did today.
And guess what?
Everyone in the audience is going home with a copy.
We'll be right back.
Got two guys.
Oh, I got one for Mike.
That's for you and your children, and your foregrandma, granddaughter.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is the Chris Bell and Dad.

Yoga is known for its relaxation and flexibility benefits, but it's also a full-body workout that strengthens and lengthens and tightens your abs.
So today, easy yoga moves to get the abs of your dreams.
Yoga instructor and fitness guru Glenn Lawrence is here.
So revved up yoga.
How does it actually help with the belly, the abs?
Well, arguably every move that you do in yoga targets the abs.
So it's a no-brainer that you pick yoga to flatten them out.
And how does it work for beginners versus experts?
It doesn't matter.
We picked some pretty user-friendly moves today, and I'm going to show you ways that you can kick them up if you want to, so it doesn't really matter.
Because I'm asking, who wants stronger, slender abdomens and bellies and stomachs?
Ladies, come on out.
We have six volunteers from the audience.
Believe me, they're not experts.
They're just like you.
Maybe some of them are experts.
We're going to find out in a second, but everyone start doing this with us.
Take it away.
Simple moves.
Simple moves.
To get us revved up abs.
All right, so the first one we're going to do is elbow to knee plie.
So you're going to start in what's called chair pose in yoga.
Nice flat back.
You're going to bring the hands behind your head.
And keeping the back flat, you're going to tip it elbow to knee, come back to center, elbow to knee.
Keep going.
That's it.
Smile.
Smile.
If you're not having fun, it's worthless.
Right?
And I don't like to do counting.
I like to have a timer.
I'm notorious for my timer.
So 30 seconds to two minutes, depending on your fitness level.
Two minutes of this?
Oh, yeah.
How you guys doing back there?
How is it?
Great.
Good.
All right.
Right?
You feel that?
That's going to target our waist.
Trim the waist and get in the side into the obliques.
All right, I quit.
All right, let's go to the floor.
I quit for you guys, by the way.
I'm trying to help you.
So everybody has a block.
We're going to lie down on our backs now, and you're going to put the block between your inner thighs.
Right?
We're going to raise the roof with our legs.
Okay?
You're going to flex the feet.
Arms are down by your side.
And all you're going to do is tiny little moves, lifting your legs straight up, squeezing the block.
And again, you want to do 30 seconds to two minutes.
So no counting.
I want folks at home doing this, because I'll tell you this little move is much more impactful than I thought.
What part of our belly is this workout?
We're working nice lower abdominals, which everyone's concerned about.
And putting the block between the inner thighs gives a second benefit of adding a little tone to the inner thighs.
Everybody's good?
Same thing, 30 seconds, two minutes?
Depending on your fitness.
Look at the sadistic smile.
You know me, that's it.
So we're going to keep the block.
Might as well just keep the block if you guys want to just rock yourself up to seated.
Keep the block between your inner thighs.
We're going to go to boat pose.
This is going to target the whole front of the stomach now.
All right.
This is going to be level one, lower legs parallel to the floor.
Level two and level three.
And all you're going to do is hold it.
Got to breathe.
Squeeze the block.
You can feel it, right?
If you shake, it's good.
We're going on a boat trip.
Take a little trip.
Level one or two.
30 seconds to two minutes.
If it's too easy for you, you can bring your arms up.
Oh, yeah.
You can bring your arms.
Of course.
Make it worse.
Make it worse.
Bring it in and out.
Bring it on.
Maybe the pain.
More pain.
So again, 30 seconds to two minutes of this will really tire you.
Oh, gosh.
They're always trying to sabotage my timer when I'm working on it.
I shouldn't have shown off.
All right, all right.
And the last one.
Last one is going to be a forearm plank.
So we're going to come onto the hands and knees, lower down to your elbows.
It's really important that your elbows are under your shoulders for proper support.
So our bodies are made to fit ourselves.
You want to pivot the arms, wrap your fingers around your elbows.
That way you know they're shoulder width apart.
If they're too far apart, you're going to overstress the chest.
Okay, bring them out.
Palms flat.
He's already in it.
I was copying.
And then go ahead and press.
Trying to help.
Hey, my belly is sore.
I did, right?
30 seconds to two minutes.
Two minutes is a super challenge here.
You could always just drop it down, take a break, and come back up.
But right before you quit, give it another two breaths and then come down.
Remember, putting your knees down is a sign of weakness, everybody.
That's the challenge right there.
There's the whole thing.
I'm going to go to break with this.
Keep holding it.
If you're at home, please do this with us.

I'll help I'm back.
Stay with me.
Oh.
Oh.
How has yoga changed your life?
I started doing yoga two years ago and wasn't a huge fan.
But over time, I began to relish how it made me feel.
Now I'm full-on obsess.
I make all my friends join in.

Did I get it right?
In the six years I've been doing this show, I've been lucky to meet some pretty amazing people.
But today, you're about to meet someone who's not just amazing, but inspiring.
She touched my heart.
I found out about her from the Make A Wish Foundation, and when they told me about her wish, well, I couldn't say no.
Take a look.
Thank you so much for granting my Make a Wish.
I chose you because I want to be a physician when I get older.
Your show is so entertaining and educational at the same time.
When I was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in August of 2013, it changed my life forever.
I couldn't do things that other people got to do.
But now since I'm cancer-free, I can finally do those things.
Thank you again and see you soon.
Aubryn's Wish is one of 14,000 wishes graded by the Make A Wish Foundation each year and it's been a great honor to spend the day with her.
In fact, we had a blast behind the scenes taping another show earlier today.
How are you?
Good.
Never ask.
Can I give you a hug?
It's such a great honor that Jama wanted to come see the show.
I got all kinds of good stuff planned for you today.
If you ready to go?
Come on.
First stop, I meet and greet with my show guests.
Then I took Aubrey to rehearsal, where she served as my stand-in and helped me get ready for the show.
While I headed to hair and makeup, Aubrey, who dreams of becoming a doctor, got up close and personal with some real human organs.
Compliments of our medical team.
Finally, it was showtime.
Ready go?
Let's do it.
Yo, DUNGE!
DUNGE!
Aubrey is still here, and if she still has the energy, I would love her to come down and be my assistant of the day.
Aubrey, come to me.
Come on, Dan.
Thank you.
So I know you were only supposed to play backstage, but I was so proud to have you here today.
You okay?
Yep.
How you feeling?
Great.
So how was the show backstage?
It was really good.
What did you like the most about it?
Probably seeing the organs.
You like those organs, don't you?
I do.
And you want to be a surgeon, I understand.
Maybe?
More a doctor or a physician.
A regular surgeon.
And what do you love about medicine?
I love helping people, make them feel better.
You know what that's like.
So you told me you were fascinated by the digestive system of the body.
There's a lot of things there.
So if you're willing to do this, since you are the assistant of the day, I'd like you to help me share something with the audience.
All right.
I customize this for you.
Of course, you have the purple gloves.
Don't forget those.
They're pretty important.
And I did a little homework.
I was talking to your mom, who was just a doll, you know, and she shared with me that you have a tremendous affinity for...
Pancakes and pizza?
Yes.
No one's ever admitted that on the show before.
All right.
So we'll put the pancakes in your mouth, because this is an example of your digestive system.
Here's the pizza.
Why don't you hold that for a second?
So these are your teeth over here.
Okay.
Right?
So the teeth are like scissors.
So chop up that pizza in your stomach over here.
And I'll work these little babies to get going on this.
That will be the teeth.
Cut the pizza up.
I need more help with that.
I can mash this with these.
These are your molars.
I'm working.
Put them here.
You can put them anywhere you want because they're going to end up in your stomach, right?
No matter where you put them and start with.
Once they're on your plate, at least at your age, they pretty much end up in your stomach.
Okay, that's good.
Let's throw that in there.
Now, add some saliva.
That's the raw ingredient we need.
Good.
Add that in there.
You can, if you really like the food, you usually salivate a lot.
Yeah.
Is that what happens to you?
Yes.
Yeah.
Olivate hops.
Oh, that was a lot.
All right.
Now you're really salivating.
Okay, now, take what's in your mouth, and you got to put it in your stomach.
So, remember when you learned about this in biology, go ahead and pour that in there.
When the food goes in your stomach, you end up releasing gastric juices like that.
Ooh.
Is it like that?
Yeah.
Now let's get our hands in there.
We got to work this up a little bit because the stomach begins to digest all this food.
Oh.
Okay, now where does it go from the stomach?
To the small intestine.
Very well done.
Okay, let's empty it in there.
That's good.
Empty the food in the small intestines.
Oh, it's a sloppy intestine.
It's okay.
It can't be neat all the time.
Keep going.
Okay, now, once it's in your small intestine, then it's got to get pushed through the small intestine.
And here's where the crazy stuff happens.
Not all the food, let's milk it through here.
Push that in there and milk it through.
Not all the food gets through.
A lot of the food has to get sucked into the bloodstream, like down below.
And those nutrients, ooh, you broke the intestine.
You just broke the intestine.
No one has ever broken an intestine before.
All right, forget about this.
Fine.
So notice how the juices are leaking into the bloodstream.
So the body sucks its nutrients out of the small intestine as it's supposed to.
Keep going though, because we know what happens next.
You can push it way in there.
Milk it all through here.
Whatever the body can't absorb into the bloodstream, where does it go?
It goes down here into the colon.
You know what's coming, don't you?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like a boa constrictor, this intestine.
There he goes.
Now, come down here.
Once it's in the colon, you've got to actually milk it through.
So go ahead and take this.
What's the major goal of the colon?
It's to absorb fluid.
So any extra fluid that's in there gets absorbed.
Push that all the way down.
And then it goes to the rectum, which is this bag.
And guess what happens from the rectum?
It goes out.
It goes out, doesn't it?
So go ahead and demonstrate.
Now it's too late to turn back now.
Your classmates will see this happen, but there it goes from the rectum into the toilet.
And she did it.
Perfectly and brilliantly done.
Did you ever have a dream that you'd be squeezing poop into a toilet when you made your Make-A-Wish Foundation dream?
No, not at all.
Yes, I hope I hear back from them in a positive way about this.
That's good.
You've gotten it all out of there.
Nicely done.
Listen, keep your gloves on.
Keep your gloves on.
I want to show you something else.
This is actually a real intestine.
It was such a blessing having you on the show.
I really want to have you take, you can take your gloves off, put new ones on.
I want you to appreciate, because we didn't get to see this before, how magnificent the human body is.
And when I look at you and I see how wonderfully you've done after a really bad problem, I realize the marvels of medicine.
And I also realize how unique and special each of our bodies are.
So the intestinal system is made up of these tiny little nooks and crannies.
And this is the rectum.
That's what you just squeezed the poop out of.
This is your small intestine.
See how it's smaller?
Go ahead and feel that.
And as you look at that, and I show these organs on the show because I think the body is majestic.
Yeah.
And I think we're all so special.
And we really appreciate it when we look at our organs.
Parts of our body that we don't always see from the outside.
Yeah, these are cool.
They are pretty cool, aren't they?
Yeah.
So I was thinking what kind of a prize to give you, and I was going to send you home with these intestines, but your mom won't let you take them.
And because she says I killed Joy your mother, I instead decided to give you a more orthodox, you can take these off, present.
So I'm giving you your own Dr. Oz jacket.
Now, you can take that off.
These we give very, very rarely on the show.
And notice they have special buttons that take a little bit of wearing in.
But you should wear this all around school from now on.
People will be very intimidated by you.
And I want you to have your own pair of Dr. Ross scrubs.
But most importantly, since you're going to be a doctor, I want you to have your stethoscope on and listen to the hearts of all the people you're going to touch in your life.
Thank you.
We'll be right back.
Did you hear it?
Yeah.
All new arts.
One of your biggest addictions.
Cards.
But your love affair with Bread and Punta doesn't have to end.
I'm excited about this because we've got two really big new ideas.
The plan to eat cards?
The V Cards.
What?
Dancing with the Don't Judge Bread of Tony One.
With the newest celebrity health friends.
Will it be Brub or Brub?
No.
All New Hawks.
That's coming up tomorrow.
All Nuart.
That's one of your biggest addictions.
Cards.
But your love affair with bread and pasta doesn't have to end.
I'm excited about this because we've got two really big new ideas.
The plan to eat carbs to beat carbs.
What?
Dancing with this guard judge, Bruno Tonioli, with the newest celebrity health trends.
I'm turning myself off.
Will it be bravo or brav?
No.
All nuance.
That's coming up tomorrow.
Thank you.
I have a terrible fear of heights, and since I'm always telling you to step out of your comfort zone, I decided to finally step out of mine and face my fear.
So I went on an adventure.
My team has prepared a surprise for me.
They have chronicled this adventure on this little video.
Let's take a look at what they did.
I don't like heights, but I'll be doubt.
good to go.
It doesn't look too bad, does it?
I can tell you, it was much faster.
They must have slowed that down.
I went whipping across this thing.
That's a video of me ziplining at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.
And it was much, I thought, scarier than it looks.
Anyway, you can watch me.
There's a version of that, a scarier version I'm going to make for facebook.com/slash Dr. Oz and share the fear you're ready to conquer on my page so I can celebrate with you.
We could all do it together.
Now it's time for in case you missed it.
First up, the newest cast member of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Claudia Jordan, she showed us, she asked us on the show today, that there's something that annoys her even more than her fellow housewives.
The corns on her feet.
Now she's lived with these for years, and I'm offering her some help.
Now we all know that salicylic acid works.
It comes in little patches.
You can put them on the corn, but here's a special foot bath that could also help.
I hear this from a lot of viewers.
You soak your feet for 15 minutes in warm, soapy water, but you've got to add a cup of apple cider vinegar to it.
Then use a pumice stone to gently, gently is the operative word here.
Remove layers of dead skin, then dab on some castor oil after you've taken your foot out in stride.
Just take a little bit of the cotton swab and just drab it on there.
And over the course of about 10 days, those corners will get much better.
Finally, please be careful of dubious people online that make it seem like I'm endorsing their products because I don't.
