	Apple cider vinegar.
	For years, we've shown you the benefits, and you've listened.
	Now, there's a new kid in town.
	A lot of people didn't even know this existed.
	It's actually been very big in Asia for many, many years.
	Taste it!
	Oh, that's good.
	Plus, Juba Gooding Jr. on the role that almost cost him his health.
	coming up next.
	Oh, oh, oh.
	Y'all ready for season 10?
	Yeah!
	i love you It is my biggest challenge to you in 10 years.
	Are you ready to take the Apple Cider Vinegar Challenge?
	Right?
	It's the star ingredient that we not only introduced you to, but have tested and also investigated.
	And for the first time ever, we have crowdsourced a vinegar prescription plan that's specifically designed for you by viewers all around the country who've made vinegar a part of their daily routine and then jump-started their health to the next level with it.
	There's also a new vinegar people are going crazy for.
	I want you to find out what this new trendy ingredient is.
	And another first.
	Everybody behind me in my studio audience is standing by to set a new world record with the largest vinegar group shot ever.
	Go ahead and grab it.
	Y'all see it?
	Is that excitement or fear on their faces?
	We'll find out in a second.
	But first, let's start with what this little shot can do for you.
	You get two shots.
	Save that for me.
	Apple cider vinegar not only can help you control your blood sugar, but we've received countless success stories from viewers about how it kick-started healthy transformations from all over the country.
	So Jeanette says that after taking apple cider vinegar, she felt less bloated.
	This is a before and after on her.
	Then Michelle says she saw a major improvement in her energy throughout the day.
	And Tamara says she dropped more than a dress size by adding vinegar to her everyday routine.
	They've all shared with us their information, how they used the apple cider vinegar, when they drank it, what they ate it with, all the details.
	And I've got diet expert Jen Wiederstrom, who's going to help us look through all the data and say what's the ultimate vinegar prescription that you can try too.
	I can't come to New York and not do your show.
	I'm very happy you're here.
	And there's so much talk about because this apple cider vinegar has become, first of all, so easy to do, people want to do it.
	It's affordable, but most importantly, it seems to work for a lot of folks.
	So why do you think it's so powerful?
	To me, I always described it as like the Ringo star of the Beatles.
	Like he's been here the whole time, but he's always been in the background.
	And that's apple cider vinegar.
	I mean, my grandparents, grandparents told them about it.
	They told me about it.
	And I think it's one of those best kept secrets because it's effective, it's powerful, it's natural, and as you said, it's really affordable as well.
	But there are lots of opinions, tons of opinions about apple cider vinegar, and everyone's been taking it, but I want to get those opinions into one place.
	So first off, you've crowdsourced some data.
	Yeah.
	So from your research, how much apple cider vinegar should the average person be taking?
	I think ultimately what you want to start with is three teaspoons a day.
	And I like that spaced out, and you can kind of see how you're reacting, what your body's talking and saying to you, and then go from there.
	All right, so give us a quick glance of what it might look like.
	A typical day looks like this, the prescription plan with vinegar.
	Exactly, because we got a doctor, we're going to prescribe you guys.
	So here we go.
	We got a teaspoon just before breakfast, a teaspoon of the apple cider vinegar just before lunch, and we have that mystery vinegar just before your dinner.
	All right, so we do the crowdsourcing.
	Turns out breakfast is the most popular time to take the apple cider vinegar.
	It's to do it in the morning.
	That's the first part of our plan.
	We're going to say that a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar ought to be taken before your breakfast.
	You actually agree with what people are doing.
	You think it makes sense to take it early.
	I love it because basically it's the perfect warm-up for your workout and your body, right?
	All right, let's see how our viewers do it.
	They're coming over here.
	Made it part of their daily routine.
	Joining us is Jamie.
	This is her before picture.
	And here she is after.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	Thank you.
	So I mean, you look great, but it's not so much the looks.
	You actually say you have a lot more energy.
	I have a lot more energy.
	I was having a, when I was starting my new lifestyle, I was having a hard time like getting into like a schedule, like eating breakfast.
	And I was like just lacking the stamina, the energy.
	So I started taking a few, I started with a few tablespoons of apple cider.
	Oh, you were going for a party.
	And then I was shooting it like a shot.
	So I was going hard or that was it.
	I needed to jumpstart it.
	So it helped me with my stamina for my swimming.
	And really, I mean, I lost weight, but it really helped me to, you know, get into this new healthy lifestyle naturally.
	And I've really reaped the benefit.
	I admire you for doing it, but I don't know how you take that much apple cider vinegar.
	This is my personal experience with apple cider vinegar when you take it as a straight shot.
	Take a look.
	Very sour.
	It's actually burning.
	Sour, tangy.
	Are you ready?
	Toast to see if the kids will taste this.
	Oh, it's Tangier, right?
	Ha!
	Bye.
	Thank you.
	And the lemon really gives it a nice little sing.
	I thought it had no zing to begin with.
	Now you see the problem that I have, but you have hack, a hack that allowed you to take apple cider vinegar.
	I sure do.
	Okay, so you're going to start with some warm water, and then you're going to put in a teaspoon or a tablespoon if you're, you know, zesty like me.
	No, you're hard like this one, yeah.
	And you're going to add some cayenne pepper, some lemon juice.
	Cayenne pepper?
	It's hard enough as it is.
	I'm a little spicy, and so should you be.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Okay.
	So she's.
	I'm giving you a prescription.
	Yeah.
	This is going to make you feel great.
	It's going to, you know, make you feel like you're ready for the day.
	You're going to jump out of bed.
	You're going to, you know, whatever you need to do, it's going to give you the stamina and she's that you need.
	But part of what it likes.
	There's no way.
	Now we can add that to the reel, okay?
	All of his reactions.
	But part of what I like about the vinegar too, though, is it's actually, because it does kind of regulate your blood sugar and keeps you guys from crashing.
	And that's why she says stamina.
	I light up.
	I'm like, oh, good.
	Because there's that feeling when you crash and you don't have the energy for the work on her to keep going.
	It kind of levels you off and equips you with that energy.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Wow, it's still burning.
	Tell me what I pair it with.
	Does that have to eat something else?
	Yeah, I'm going to be your best friend now.
	So, this is actually all the recipes today are out of my book, but this is what I call protein oats.
	I want you guys starting your mornings with protein and fiber.
	And when I say oatmeal, people are confused.
	I think, what, protein, fiber, and oats?
	Yes, okay?
	So, what I want you to do, I want a third cup of those raw oats, which I know sounds funny, half a scoop of vanilla protein.
	You get your kids' cereal, you put it on there, and a little bit of almond milk, the unsweetened, and it gives you a little bit of what I need in you, which is the protein and the fiber, and then you also get a little of what you want too.
	So, you have the apple cider vinegar first and then do that?
	Yeah, I want this almost like 30 minutes before your breakfast, you guys, and then this can go in after.
	Yes.
	Congratulations.
	Thank you so much.
	Now, let's get to lunch.
	We've got lunch over here, and Jennifer is waiting for us.
	The vinegar prescription for lunch is a little different.
	Now, you've noticed some changes in yourself as well.
	I've noticed some changes.
	I've noticed that I have a little bit more energy.
	And also, I'm a person that's so busy, on the go all the time.
	And I feel like when I do this in the morning, that I don't get...
	So I feel like doing this in the morning, it curbs that, where it kind of gives me time where I can, it helps me get to the point where I can pick something healthy.
	So you have the apple cider vinegar in the morning, but you also do it at lunch.
	I do, and I can't do it just like this.
	I'll put it maybe on some lettuce and take that with me to go.
	Don't add cayenne, by the way.
	No, this is.
	But you have another hack that you use at lunchtime that actually works for you.
	I do, and I like to call it the Pretty and Pink Iced Tea.
	Oh, so I get it now.
	Now I get it.
	Yes.
	So you just take about, I'd say about 16 ounces of warm water, one teaspoon apple cider vinegar, a couple slices of apple, some lemon, some grapefruit, and a couple leaves in there, and you're good to go.
	I also like.
	This is so much better.
	Are you kidding me?
	Taste this.
	I can't believe he's pitting you against each other.
	Oh, that's good.
	It's good.
	It's not as, you know, you can run it, Jamie.
	This is salt in my mouth.
	This actually could work.
	It's good, and if you make it the night before, enough for the week, all the ingredients incorporate, and it's great, then you have it ready to go.
	And what's the pair for this at lunch?
	So you're going to love this then, Jennifer.
	I actually really very much synergize with what that kind of lifestyle you're running.
	You're going, you're grabbing, like, I'll eat cardboard if I'm hungry.
	I don't care.
	So what I'm going to give you is not cardboard, but what I suggest is a high-protein pita pocket, okay?
	Because it's literally, you can take it on the go wherever you need to.
	Often we're eating in our cars more and more.
	This is something you can also pre-make, like Jennifer's drink.
	And literally, we got salmon, we've got Greek yogurt, we've got some dill, salt, and pepper to taste.
	There's some greens in there.
	And plus, you've got that benefit of the probiotics in the Greek yogurt, which is basically like friendly bacteria for your taste.
	It pairs nicely with the apple cider iced tea.
	Oh, there are no mistakes.
	The pink dress, the pink drink.
	Okay, we're going to put all these recipes at drozz.com when we come back.
	The new vinegar.
	There's a new one that we're adding to the mix that could be the next power combo with apple cider vinegar.
	Plus, get ready for the biggest Oz show record.
	Apple cider vinegar challenge is next.
	ready How to Murder Your Husband.
	The chilling romantic suspense story that made headlines.
	Did the author turn her fantasy fiction into reality?
	All nuance.
	that's coming up tomorrow We're back with the ultimate vinegar prescription plan for you by you.
	My team has crowdsourced all over the country to find out what really works when it comes to adding apple cider vinegar to your routine.
	And they found a new vinegar that could be a power ingredient to your meals.
	Are you ready for this, everybody?
	It is coconut vinegar.
	Coconut vinegar.
	The diet expert, Jen Wiederstrom is back.
	She says the buzz building about coconut vinegar is huge.
	So what is it and how is it different from apple cider vinegar?
	So I, like a lot of people, didn't even know this existed.
	So I had to research into it and it's actually been very big in Asia for many, many years.
	And it's just kind of making a splash now in the States.
	But essentially, it's the way it's made that makes it so different.
	They take the leaves from a coconut tree and there's a sap that forms from them and we take that sap, we, like I made it, they take the sap and they allow it to ferment for like eight months and then that's how they formulate their vinegar.
	So it's not from the actual meat, it's not from the coconut water, nothing's the leaves on the trees and the sap they make.
	Well how do you find it?
	What does it cost?
	Yeah, it's definitely not at your local convenience stores.
	So I would definitely look at your health stores.
	They'll carry probably an array of really good ones.
	Make sure you're looking for, it's fermented and it's made from the leaves.
	And do not mistake this with coconut water that is not the same and it's going to be a totally different show.
	And they've also, they make versions of this that are made from coconut water where they add sugar to it basically.
	Exactly.
	This is the real stuff.
	Exactly.
	All right, so is this the way you make it into a mocktail?
	Right.
	Thank you for pointing out my mocktail, guys.
	So again, like you said before, it's one teaspoon.
	Yes.
	But this is before dinner, not breakfast or lunch.
	Yes, exactly.
	Right before dinner.
	And I don't know about you, when I'm cooking, I kind of want a cocktail or a glass of wine.
	And I felt like, what a great way to bring in the coconut vinegar.
	And it's great before dinner.
	Because at the end of the day, we're tired, we're beat up.
	Imagine a long shift to the hospital for you or even here.
	And our immunity is low.
	And so this coconut vinegar has potassium, vitamin C, all these things that help with those immune boosts.
	So I've kind of made this up.
	You're going to give me a yay or no.
	This is really good.
	Oh, my God.
	I was so nervous.
	No, this is really, really good.
	So you just take the mint leaves, you basically grind it into the coconut vinegar.
	You give me a splash of lime juice here.
	Give me some seltzer.
	Throw it on the rocks.
	Put in martini glass like Mr. Fancy Pants here.
	Either way, you're set, you're good.
	You're taking care of your body and your immunity, and it tastes pretty good.
	I like it.
	And the pairing is with?
	So I've paired it with slow cooker chicken fajitas.
	At the end of the day, we're talking about how there's no time left.
	Let the food cook itself.
	There's everything with protein, vegetables, flavor is awesome.
	It pairs well with the cocktail slash mocktail.
	See what I did there?
	Yes.
	And guess what?
	Come over here.
	We've got some for you.
	I'm going to challenge the audience.
	I want you guys to give me a choice.
	You want to have it straight up or you want one of the mocktails that Jen's offering?
	Mocktail.
	Mocktails.
	All right, go ahead and taste it.
	Do one straight up.
	They're all mocktails, I guess.
	I like mocktails.
	While you're left with their guys like them?
	Taste it.
	See if you like.
	I'm not the only person, I hope.
	Here, see if you like those.
	Take a little bit.
	Shrug it down.
	One last one for you.
	What do you guys think?
	Could it work?
	Yes.
	It could work.
	I think it's different.
	I gotta say, apple cider vinegar is so popular that having a little diversity and something that's a tiny bit sweeter because it's a little sweeter would make a lot of sense.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	All right, Jen, you're brilliant at all this.
	I want you all to check out Jen's book, by the way, Diet Right for Your Personality Type.
	You've got a great personality like hers, you'll definitely like it.

	You all have your apple cider vinegars?
	Praise them high, guys.
	Everyone here, we're all taking a shot together.

	I have never had this many people take a shot with me on a show before, period.
	You know, I don't love apple cider vinegar by itself, but I'm doing it for you.

	You like it?
	Up next, Cuba Gooding Jr. is here opening up about the new role that he's taking on that might surprise you at his health off screen.
	Can you drop us a little hint, a little tiny hint?
	Show me the honey.
	Stay tuned.
	Yeah, well, you know, me and your trainer here, we was in the Olympics together.
	You remember Diane from track and field, right?
	Ah, you was going to bring that bro.
	You remember when I used to stop you in the second round of sparring, right?
	You peed yourself with that left hook.
	Now you're pushing it too far.
	Yeah, you pushing it too far now.
	You pushing it just a little bit.
	So now you Dr. Seuss.
	You're going to write a make-believe shit.
	I just wish your hands moved as fast as your mouth.
	I'll tell you what, whatever you want to do, we can do money, however you want to get it.
	He is one of the most versatile and influential actors of our time.
	From his show me the money moment in the hit film Jerry Maguire to showing us a more serious side in his unforgettable role portraying O.J. Simpson.
	Oscar winner, Kuba Gooding Jr. is here, opening up about his life off-screen and the health hurdle he never saw coming.
	Please welcome to the show, Cuba Gooding Jr.
	How are you?
	I am good, William.
	That was very dangerous what you did.
	The audience would have grabbed you and taken you in, never let you go.
	They adore you.
	How you doing?
	You look good.
	Man, you too.
	It's strong.
	He's strong.
	I'm just trying to keep up with this.
	You can steal to keep a goodies out of the world.
	So we just saw a little clip of Bayou Caviar.
	Yeah.
	And just to be clear, he not only exacted it, but he directed it.
	And you are incredibly in good shape to be able to even keep up with that.
	How do you do that?
	It's a show about a retired boxer.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, I've been boxing for about 25 years now.
	And we were in New Orleans when we shot it.
	And I had real professional pros come play with us.
	And there's one scene in the movie where I took one to the face and I kept it in the movie.
	It hurts.
	Yeah, it does.
	It really does.
	The last time I boxed, I was in college.
	The first thing I, and the most important thing I learned was the duck.
	That's right.
	Which is a good lesson in life.
	And to keep your hands up.
	Keep your hands up.
	You're not going to duck.
	That's right.
	So you all remember when the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for football player Rod Tidwell.
	That was 20 years ago.
	And so I want to go back a little bit.
	I think all of us were influenced profoundly by the role and well-deserved Oscar victory and of course your speech when you got up there.
	Unforgettable.
	Thank you.
	What would you tell yourself back then if you could right now?
	What wisdom have you gained that we could all learn from?
	I think the most thing is to stay focused on your artistry as an actor, the passion of your work, and continue to grow, even though you've, because you remember, I became Academy Award when I came with a junior, so I was too precious about that title when I should have just worked, just kept working with great directors.
	Can you talk about your dad?
	Sure.
	Iconic musician, legendary soul singer, being an inspiration to a lot of folks, but especially to you.
	And you lost him.
	What was that like?
	You know, it's hard.
	I think the loss of any parent, you feel a part of you dies with the parent.
	And my father and mother had split up when I was young, and I never understood what was more important to him, family or his career, until I actually stepped on stage in London and got the opportunity to sing in front of an audience.
	And I think that's why I accepted the Broadway offer to come and do Chicago here as Billy Flynn.
	Yeah, it made me understand my father a little bit more, which is more important.
	I think if you can marry those two together, your life will truly be enriched.
	So you're making this wonderful piece about O.J. Simpson that you really brought alive.
	And in the middle of that, you lose your dad.
	I mean, how do you deal with the emotional trials and tribulations of being in that character at the same time there are things happening outside and off the film that are pulling at you?
	Well, that was a very interesting time in my life because I think all of my roles that make a real impact in my career have been the ones that have been closest to what's going on in my personal life.
	If you look at Boys in the Hood, I played Trey who finally gets that scholarship and gets out of the inner city violence.
	And at the time, that was my first lead in a film, and then I became on the radar of America.
	Then my next part playing Rod Tidwell and Jerry Maguire, it was a guy who was a famous football player who kind of loses his way and then he gets the big contract.
	And here I am, six years after Boys in the Hood, finally getting a role that not only brings me back into the spotlight, but I won the Oscar for.
	And then with OJ, I had just split with my wife.
	I had a young daughter, the same age as Sydney.
	And I lived in the area where the murders took place in the same city.
	I was always running into people who knew OJ, who had stories about him.
	And the reality and fantasy line started to blur for me.
	And I used to laugh at actors who say, you know, this was a character that took me a while to shake.
	It's a dark character.
	I understand what that means now because I think each character kind of makes an imprint on your soul.
	And to go that dark and that dark a place to open my psyche up in that dark a place affected me for several months after finishing that role.
	You know, it's pretty dark.
	Having put yourself in that role, what do you think now about the criminal justice system and African-American men?
	I mean, how does your perception about being charged with a crime change having played that?
	Oh, you know, I don't know if it changed.
	I just, I know that there was something broken, especially in that time period in 1992.
	You know, I was pulled over by police when I was a break dancer with my crew because I looked a certain way in a neighborhood that they felt I wasn't supposed to be in.
	But yet I was an actor who was making money, and yet I got racially profiled.
	So, and I get it, I get it.
	You know, there's men and women of our law enforcement that have a lot of stress.
	But to see and the walk in those shoes of a character that is exposed to that life without no way to get out, it's very eye-opening.
	Now, I don't think you've ever spoken to OJ.
	Is that correct?
	No, no, no, no.
	If you could, what would you ask him?
	What would your question be?
	Just to get a conversation going.
	You mean if I asked him what about anything, about life, about just to understand, you know him probably better than almost anybody else.
	Well, I know that time period more than I thought I ever would, being now stepped in his shoes.
	But specifically with OJ, I believe when he passes away, if they do an autopsy on his brain, they'll find the CTE concussion syndrome.
	I truly believe that because, you know, that coupled with the fact that men like that who show this ability to have, you know, this athletic gift that God gives them and everybody around you, they literally stop your social development young because they want you to just focus on this athletic ability that you have.
	They make money off of you and then they spit you out of the system and yet you still have a mentality as a child.
	It's so interesting you say that because we had OJ's lawyer on the show and he brought a question to me from OJ.
	They haven't talked about this much, but OJ wanted to know about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE.
	This head injury that football players are getting.
	So I was sort of caught off guard by him wanting to know more about head trauma, having played football.
	You know, he rushed for so many yards, every time he rushed, he got hit and tackled.
	But you think that might be something that you may have found to play in the role?
	Oh, 100%.
	You're not taking all that abuse to your head and not having bruises on your brain.
	It is tragedy.
	It causes lots of other problems as well.
	But let me turn from that to you personally.
	I just noticed your voice a little hoarse.
	Yeah.
	And I know that you actually...
	Don't break it down on me now.
	So in order to play the role of OJ, you had to adjust your voice.
	And did this start after that?
	A little bit before it.
	A little bit before it.
	But yeah, it was intensified with that.
	I'm just smiling at you.
	I'm curious.
	What happened?
	Well, you know, it's so funny.
	I went and saw an ENT and they put that rod down my throat and looked at my book because they wanted to make sure there wasn't any pallips or anything cancerous or anything.
	They're like, no, no, it's just swollen and sore.
	And you need to relax a little bit.
	You need to really relax.
	And what I found is I have this issue where I'm a night owl and I would sleep before I mean, sorry, eat before I'd go to bed.
	And what I would do is I would eat and then I'd sleep and all of the food would go up and then the stomach acids would kind of mess with my vocal cords.
	So I finally realized that I had to stop doing that and it's right at its.
	Well since you have become a world expert on this, Dr. Gooding, since you played bass parsing.
	I was called me, Dr. Gooding.
	And I didn't go to school, y'all.
	So there's a really common reason.
	You give me a horse.
	When we come back, it affects millions of people.
	Dr. Gooding, he was going to help us hit me deal this hidden cause.
	Stay with us.
	Warning signs that can go unnoticed.
	I just undiagnosed for 22 years.
	How do you know if you are at risk for thyroid cancer?
	It sneaks up on you, which is one of the reasons we miss it.
	All nuance.
	That's coming up on Wednesday.
	Applauds
	We are backstage with Cuba Goody Jr. about to reveal the number one hidden reason for a hoarse voice, constant coughing, throat clearing, and lots of other stuff, but we're not talking about a cold.
	So I know you're worried about vocal cord issues you got to your performer, but he's starting on Broadway in Chicago, playing Billy Flynn.
	Oh, he's a perfect guy to do that, too.
	But since we're backstage, before I go out and regale our audience, what kind of exercises do you do before you start the theater every day?
	Well, with the vocal cords, you want to keep them warm and loose, just like any muscle.
	So a lot of humming.
	And then you also want to make sure that your neck and your face is relaxed.
	So we do this thing called the lion pose.
	Lion pose?
	Yes.
	You want to get your tongue out as far as you can, your eyes as wide as you can, your fingers as spread as part as you can, but breathe normally.
	And then slowly afterwards, go into a yawn.
	Ah.
	That's a lion's pose.
	I like it.
	You don't go to Broadway.
	Yeah.
	Come on over here.
	It's a different kind of vocal cord check.
	I want everyone to think about today because so many of you complain to me About this problem, but there are probably 20 million people who have the underlying issue.
	And I'll come back to that in a second.
	But it has to do with silent acid reflux.
	Monique, how are you?
	Good, how are you?
	Is it Monique or Monique?
	Monique.
	Monique?
	Yes.
	All right.
	You might know this gentleman.
	A little bit.
	How are you, my love?
	A little bit.
	How are you?
	Are you able to continue?
	Have you seen your face before?
	Have you seen my face before?
	I did backstage.
	I know, actually.
	I didn't realize you were the one in there, and I was like, oh, God.
	You want me to leave?
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you could say.
	So you know about silent reflux.
	We just talked about it.
	Have you ever heard about it, Monique?
	No.
	Never thought about it?
	No, not really.
	How many of you think you might have silent reflux?
	Hands up?
	Oh, you're a smart audience.
	I always say that.
	So this is the vocal cord check I want you all to do together.
	Come on over, Monique.
	Sure.
	And Dr. Goodene, come on over with me.
	People are going to help us out.
	Okay, if you have hoarseness, you ever have hoarseness?
	Absolutely.
	And it's a little embarrassing because I already have a funny sounding voice, I think.
	I like you.
	Oh, you sound great stuff.
	Oh, you're the flatterer.
	But my voice will get hoarse sometimes or break.
	I sound like a teenage boy who's like going through puberty.
	It's embarrassing.
	That's one kind of horses.
	You've got another kind of horses, but lots of kinds of horses we can get into.
	Second thing, I'll put them up here, nagging cough.
	You ever get that?
	Yes, absolutely.
	And it's not a cold.
	It's not allergy.
	Yeah, pretty common.
	Sore throat.
	Yes.
	So all this fits into this little constellation of issues called silent reflux.
	And I'll never forget going to a free clinic, because we do them all over the country, and finding this young woman who had been very bad asthmatic her whole life.
	Wow.
	And then found out she didn't have asthma, she had reflux.
	And that's where a lot of folks end up finding out they've got problems.
	Because the math's pretty simple.
	You end up with a problem with your stomach being able to get the acid in the right direction.
	So come on over.
	A lot of these symptoms, and then they make sense, it's basically because acid has been burning you.
	Money, can you come over me?
	So if you look at this list, these are the things I want you to start doing.
	First, I want you to eliminate certain foods from your diet.
	So look over that big monitor over there, right?
	Which of those foods do you see over there you think you might want to eat less of?
	I got a little chocolate there, coffee, tomatoes.
	What do you think?
	Don't take my chocolate away.
	I love chocolate.
	I do.
	Cube, how about you?
	What are you eating up there?
	Well, coffee and the citrus, the french fries.
	The french fries?
	The french fries.
	You eat french fries?
	French fries.
	That's right.
	Dr. Odd.
	I'm going to eat the french fries.
	All right.
	Flash day and shake, Dr. Od!
	You're going to back your way into this.
	Up on the French fries.
	So you're eating the French fries.
	I like French fries.
	At least when you're singing on Broadway, put the fries away.
	All right, that's number one.
	Number two, you brought up.
	You eat late at night.
	Yeah.
	And you go right to bed.
	What time do you have dinner, Nomi Monique?
	Usually around 9 o'clock.
	I try to eat before 9, but sometimes it's 9 or later.
	But then I'm going to bed right afterwards.
	So, yeah.
	You know that already.
	Let me show you something.
	This is interesting.
	This is a little animation.
	Not too complicated.
	If you eat less than three hours before bedtime, you cause this problem.
	Food comes down from your esophagus, that swallowing tube, drops in there.
	Let's say it's a burger and fries.
	If you give yourself a couple hours, even if you're having fries, you dissolve the food, it goes out with your stomach.
	But especially if it's fatty food or that acidic food and it stays in there, you can't get it out there in less than three hours.
	So when you fall asleep at night, you lie down, ideally, right?
	Gravity takes the acid back up the swallowing tube and you're not even awake enough to protect your airway.
	So your vocal cords, those beautiful, precious vocal cords in your case, especially, Cuba, they get to bathe in acid.
	You can do as many lion poses as you want.
	Now, part of the reason I want it, Monique, here is that you have a little secret solution.
	I do.
	Are you willing to share it with Cuba?
	I guess so.
	Oh, please, come on.
	This is a solution that you take?
	Yeah, this is a solution.
	This is a whole remedy that helps with the horseness.
	Yes, I've heard a lot about ginger tea.
	So describe it to everybody.
	So I usually do ginger tea.
	I do it plain.
	I don't add any sugar or honey or anything.
	Of course, you can.
	But I just do hot ginger tea.
	Cold really doesn't work.
	It usually works on my voice if it's hot, not too hot, you know, like a good girl.
	Well, people were saying it's like a muscle.
	You got to sort of loosen everything up in there.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I guess it's soothes.
	Some people find the ginger a little bit.
	Oh, it's strong.
	Strong.
	Pungent.
	I got a little better idea.
	All right.
	Show me the honey.
	Yay!
	There I say it.
	Show me the honey.
	You got me.
	It is sweeter.
	I need my cat trainer.
	I actually, this is my own honey.
	I actually have bees.
	Oh, wow.
	And so I have a lot of bee outfit.
	I have my bee outfit, by the way, with my son, getting the bees out.
	So this is a little gift from the show.
	Show me the honey.
	Thanks for being here.
	Cuba, it's been a real honor having you at my friend.
	Best of luck to you.
	Cuba Cooney Jr., you can catch Cuba on Broadway to hit musical surgery on the steam with a big stream.
	You come by you cameo.
	You're both great.
	Be right back.
	How to Murder Your Husband.
	The chilling romantic suspense novel that made headlines.
	Did the author turn her fantasy fiction into reality?
	All new odds.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	applause
	Now look who I am with backstage.
	I've got it myself, Tiffany Thiessen.
	Now you fell in love with her as Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell and bad girl Valerie.
	She was bad and naughty.
	I'm Beverly Host 902100.
	And today she's here to give you delicious and healthy hacks for your favorite comfort foods.
	Are you ready?
	I am so ready.
	You're going to brave the audience?
	The smartest one on television.
	Come on, do it.
	I love it.
	hi everybody Come join me in the hot seat.
	Welcome, everybody.
	Hi, up there.
	Well, they like you.
	Oh, they're so cute.
	You have cute audiences.
	They're the best.
	Absolutely the best.
	So, one of my goals today is to allow your mom and mother-in-law to come here without you.
	Not you in the world.
	You have no idea.
	My mom and my mother-in-law, especially, are kind of freaking out that I'm here right now.
	They are?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, my whole career, they're like, yeah, yeah.
	Dr. Oz, I saw your schedule.
	You're going to be on Dr. Oz.
	It's huge, huge.
	So they can come without you.
	Okay, got it.
	What are their names?
	Joanne is my mother-in-law, and my mom is Robin.
	All right, Robin and Joanne, this is an honor to have Tiffany here today.
	I hope you keep watching today's show, but forget about her.
	You come in person someday.
	I'm right in the front here.
	Ah, I love it.
	It's so sweet.
	Well, I'm so happy.
	So you're a fantastic cook, and I didn't even know that much about that side of your life.
	I know you do have shows and all, but when I picked up Pull Up a Chair, which is beautifully illustrated, but also wonderful recipes, and I was actually convinced.
	You know, Daphne, my wife.
	I do know.
	I know all about her.
	They're both chefs.
	They're highly critical of recipes this they liked.
	First of all, why'd you call it Pull Up a Chair?
	You know, it's funny.
	I grew up in a family where family dinners were every night.
	And this way we connected.
	We would kind of decompress.
	We talk about our day, good and bad.
	And I feel like nowadays with phones and TVs and a lot of distractions that we're missing that connection.
	So pulling up a chair to me means reconnecting in the day, having a meal with the people that you love, and really kind of sharing moments.
	What does your mom say about your cooking?
	Is she happy?
	Very happy.
	I think she's happy because she doesn't have to do it anymore.
	Come on over here.
	Show off to all of America.
	First of all, you got something very special that you're going to be doing.
	I do, I do.
	Give them the title of it, by the way.
	Okay.
	It's called Not Your Mama's Meatloaf.
	So what does mama's, is Robin use that?
	What does Robin's meatloaf look like?
	Well, I think most people can kind of probably relate to traditional meatloaf being a little on the heavier side, using pork and ground beef.
	And I actually use turkey.
	And instead of using breadcrumbs, which is also on the heavier side and not so healthy, I use oats.
	Oh.
	And that's what actually binds it just as much as breadcrumbs.
	So real quick, we got a turkey said.
	You mentioned the oatmeal.
	We got oats.
	We got onions, which are sauteing right now.
	Look at you sausage.
	I'm going to be your sushi.
	I love it.
	I know it looks very clinical.
	Oh my guys, I love it.
	And purple, I like you.
	I like it.
	Color coordinated.
	We have a little Worcestershire.
	We have tomato paste, eggs, of course, which is another binding, great way to add some more protein.
	What's this?
	And that is sriracha.
	Now, of course, if you're feeding this to the kids.
	You know, don't need to put that in, but I like it a little hot.
	So I like that.
	How about you?
	Thank you.
	So we've got the onion sauteing.
	You want to make sure you cool these first, of course, before you throw it back in, because you're going to be literally mixing this all up.
	Okay, and you're going to stick that in.
	And then you're basically going to put your eggs.
	All right.
	So I've got the oats.
	I'm going to throw that in.
	We've got our tomato paste.
	All right.
	And you just literally mix it.
	And this is actually really something fun you can do with the kids.
	All right, so this whole thing gets put into the You got to make sure you season your food.
	All right.
	You're going to actually put this in the pan, stick in it.
	Look at you.
	Is it reminding you of something?
	Yes, this is sort of like bowel surgery.
	Okay, great.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	All right, now it's good enough.
	TMI, Dr. H. TMI.
	Okay.
	And then old-fashioned thing, my mom used to do this and I kept it.
	I literally flatten it out, right?
	And then I actually put a coat of ketchup on top of it again, and it kind of leaves a really nice little glaze, which you can see there on the finished product.
	I love it.
	It's so good.
	I like a little kind of crust on the top, right?
	What temperature?
	How long?
	350 for about 45 to 50 minutes.
	And you get this.
	And you get that.
	Okay, now the moment of truth.
	Okay, come on.
	I'm telling you, you're not going to fix it.
	First of all, let's describe the texture.
	It's full.
	Yes.
	It's rich.
	Well, and it's good, right?
	What do you think?
	The mouth feels fantastic.
	Right, it's good.
	It fills you.
	And the oatmeal is actually better than breadcrumbs.
	Yeah, I know.
	And then if you want something even better, like throw it between two pieces of bread and call it a sandwich.
	I like that too.
	Up next.
	Tiffany has a healthier take on brownies as you, and listen, you will not believe what fruit, here's a clue, what fruit she uses in place of some of that butter you guys throw in there.
	You're going to like it even better.
	That's next.
	That's it very good.
	Calling old nursing students, the Dr. Oz Show wants to celebrate you.
	If you're currently enrolled in nursing school, you could have a chance to win $10,000 and be on my show.
	Go to DrOz.com to enter by November 15th.
	We're back with Tiffany Neeson having a blast.
	He's revealing healthy hacks of some of your favorite comfort foods.
	Listen, everybody loves a good brownie.
	The problem is you guys sabotage with how you make your brownies.
	So Tiffany's got a hack to get yours a little bit healthier than you.
	A little bit, a little bit.
	Look, I have two young kids, and anytime I can kind of like throw a little something healthier in there, but still get them to eat something that I know they like.
	And I do it with my desserts as well.
	So one thing that I have is avocado brownies.
	Avocado is the fruit.
	So avocado is the fruit.
	It basically is a healthier fat.
	It can be used just like butter.
	So I take away some of the butter and I use the avocado and the kids have no idea that it's there.
	You will not know it's there, I promise you.
	I'm going to taste it, but more importantly, we have a very discerning audience who's anxious.
	They're about to rush to table.
	But go over the basic ingredients.
	Yeah, so you've got your bases.
	You've got your chocolate, you've got your butter.
	You just don't need all that.
	You've got your flour, your sugar, your brown, your cocoa, and I actually love espresso as well.
	Oh, the espresso.
	Yeah, but it's super, super easy.
	I'm telling you, like, using avocado, make sure you put it in a blender, really pure day so it's really, super, super creamy.
	We actually did this.
	See, look how creamy that is.
	So just put it in the breast.
	This is not chunky guacamole people.
	This is like, you know, creamy, creamy, creamy.
	There you can see it.
	Perfect, exactly.
	So again, take this, puree it, add it in with all the ingredients, steak for how long?
	Roughly?
	I'm trying to remember.
	It goes in the oven, 350 for about like 25 minutes, I say.
	And your family loves these.
	Oh, my gosh.
	And what is this?
	Parchment paper.
	Now, look, my husband is great.
	He does not cook.
	He does this.
	He's only cooking.
	He does the dishes.
	But anytime, if there is a pan in there that's stuck with stuff, he's like, parchment people, parchment paper, people, please, please just make sure you use it.
	This is so great.
	Look at this.
	It lifts right up.
	And really, look, that's not bad.
	Why doesn't your husband understand this basic stuff?
	It's so great.
	Because your husband wants to support you or your husband in these kinds of battles.
	Both.
	She's very neutral.
	She's very good.
	She's really good.
	She's really good.
	You want to try it?
	Yeah, I'm just going to cut one, but I want to take the other one.
	I'll cut it for you, honey.
	I'll feed you.
	Don't you worry.
	Who's interested in brownies here?
	Okay.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Every hand went up.
	All right, but here's the deal: I want some honest feedback here.
	You know what?
	Leave that.
	We'll take this over there.
	Yep.
	Grab this over there.
	All right.
	You're not going to eat some?
	I'm going to take that one too.
	Bring that with me.
	All right.
	Here.
	Grab the mic.
	Come over here.
	I'm grabbing the mic from your toast.
	Now, I'm going to give you some.
	I want some honest opinions here.
	What do you think?
	What do you think?
	Let them taste.
	Let them taste.
	This feels very hot.
	I mean, right?
	Tell me if you actually taste the avocado.
	Oh my God.
	Not at all.
	It's amazing.
	Do you love it?
	Yeah.
	Like a scale of 1 to 10.
	All right.
	What about yours?
	Go ahead.
	All right.
	You guys keep passing that along.
	I see you whining and complaining over there.
	Make sure you share.
	Be sweet now.
	What do you think?
	It's rich.
	It's velvety.
	It's silky.
	It's creamy, right?
	This is brilliant.
	We will change your lives.
	This is how to eat these from now on.

	Tip
	How to Murder Your Husband.
	The chilling romantic suspense story that made headlines.
	Did the author turn her fantasy fiction into reality?
	All nuance.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	It is time for a 10-second self-check.
	What can your forehead tell you about your heart health?
	There's a new study which says you might want to grab a mirror or get your phone to look at your forehead right now.
	Take a quick photo for an early sign, a warning sign of heart disease.
	Everyone checks their forehead out, right?
	Yes, it does.
	Well, you see your forehead anyway.
	All right.
	What are you looking for when you look at your forehead?
	How big it is.
	How big it is.
	How about you?
	Wrinkles, obviously.
	Wrinkles.
	So it's interesting.
	We got two different things, right?
	Size of the forehead and where you got wrinkles.
	Here's something that's pretty cool.
	And this is, you may know that, I got some anonymous pictures of the forehead for my audience.
	Come on up.
	You can help me with this.
	All right.
	I'm not sure.
	You might be in there even.
	Stand right there.
	Okay, now, this is pretty cool.
	So this is a member of the audience.
	You notice there's no wrinkles at all.
	This is a youthful forehead.
	All right.
	This is a very stately forehead.
	There's a little bit of a wrinkle here, but not much.
	And then we found this one.
	Now, this is a wise forehead.
	I actually don't mind the appearance of wrinkles, but I am a little concerned about what they mean.
	Because for everyone who has wrinkles, this new study says you got to check for deep forehead wrinkles like this.
	Or it can look like this too.
	You see this?
	These deep wrinkles?
	They're important because researchers found that the deeper your forehead wrinkles are, the more likely you are to have heart disease, like atherosclerosis.
	And the reason for that is the forehead has very small little blood vessels.
	And so if you have hardening of the arteries, those small vessels, they block up more rapidly.
	You'll get cracks in your skin, right?
	These deep lines become creases and it's a sign of blood vessel aging.
	So if it's happening in your forehead arteries, it could happen in your heart arteries.
	So you all clear on this?
	Right?
	So it's a good idea to do a quick forehead check every once in a while, do it in friends and family.
	It might help you track what's going on inside your body.
	In fact, what you want to do is take pictures of your forehead, share them with your friends, share them with me, do it with your other friends.
	Make sure everyone's watching everyone together because together, change is happening.
	Our journey is just beginning.
