	Toxic mold that can be growing in your home.
	All of this leads to bigger problems.
	Nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing.
	We help you get rid of it.
	So it's not just what you see, it's always what you don't see.
	Fight back by DIY mold checklist.
	And Hannah Hart.
	YouTube's funniest star opens up about her secret offline health struggles.
	My mother is schizophrenia, and there was a lot that we went through as a family.
	day Are you ready to say some lives today?
	I love you, Dr. Welcome to the show.
	Get comfortable.
	Today, the home dangers that can hurt you and your family.
	Now we're starting with toxic mold.
	And I hope there's none in this house behind me.
	And we get our investigation started with little experiment.
	Toxic mold matters to your health.
	I want you to take a look at these symptoms.
	Got nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, and skin irritation.
	Does that sound familiar to any of you?
	Yes.
	You got some yeses here?
	Yeah.
	A lot of yeses for good reason.
	Well, mold could be the cause and help figure it out for us and whether or not that mold could be a problem for you.
	I've invited host of HGTV's hit show, Rehab Attic, Nicole Curtis to be here.
	Yeah, thank you.
	So you and rehab literally hundreds of homes, right?
	I mean maybe more, right?
	When you look at a home, how do you know if they've got a mold problem or not?
	There's a lot of things, obviously visually, but you can also smell it.
	So even when somebody says, Oh no, we had our house inspected, there's none.
	I can walk in and I'm like, mm, wait, let me check out a few key spots.
	And sure enough, I usually find some mold.
	And the smell is is it mo musty?
	Is it a little bit more?
	Well, I always say that it's like your your old stuffy cabin.
	And the only time you want a home to smell like your old stuffy cabin is when you're at the cabin.
	But it can also smell like cat urine is another frequent cat urine?
	Yeah, so if you if somebody comes in and they're like, mmm, you need to change your litter box, and you're like, we don't have a cat.
	I would definitely do some investigating.
	Good tip.
	All right.
	So the problem with toxic mold coming over is that many of us don't even know what it looks like.
	Give me a couple examples.
	I have three pictures here.
	I want you to tell me which one you think is mold, right?
	Is this mold?
	Don't worry about the drywall falling off.
	Um just focus on whether or not you think there's mold in this picture.
	Or do you think in this image you're looking at mold?
	Again, another house in a very different location.
	Well, how about that one over there?
	How many of you think number one has toxic mold?
	How many of you think number two is toxic mold?
	How about number three over there?
	All right.
	They seem pretty split to me.
	And the answer is all of them.
	It's it's that all of them.
	All of them.
	That is there's no good mold in your house.
	So you you study this as your as your day job.
	What what are the what are what are the events that predispose a home to have in mold?
	There's so many different things.
	If you have a roof leak, um, that's an obvious one, right?
	Or your basement floods.
	But it's also any dark, moist space is going to have mold growing.
	And mold actually has roots.
	And that's what most people don't understand.
	Roots like trees have roots or plants.
	That's how it spreads through everything.
	So when you see it on the surface, there's so much more there.
	And traditionally people will say, oh, bleach it.
	But that's simply just cleaning the surface.
	So today that's why we're talking about what you do to really get to the root of it to make sure that it doesn't come back.
	Let's start.
	We got a couple areas.
	Typical parts of the home where toxic mold is most likely to grow.
	And these are areas that a lot of us are neglecting.
	That's why they're so common.
	So you pointed out, you know, that the basement's flooded, everyone knows it's an issue.
	Exactly.
	So here we've got a typical window and looking out into my beautiful backyard.
	What do I worry about and how do I manage it?
	Well, the thing is is that wherever moisture can get in is where you're going to get it.
	And this one we see it right in the corners here.
	So if you have windows that have a broken seal or you have a lot of outside exposure that, you know, it's it faces one thing and they're getting pelted with water, you live in a lake, anything like that.
	So first of all, if I saw this in my house, I would do this immediately.
	I've had mold problems in my home.
	Right.
	So I spray it like this, right?
	And then I quickly get in there.
	And you want to scrub away, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, this is the biggest mistake people make.
	I'm eating it.
	Poorest materials though, you want to let it sit because the porous material will actually Have the roots of the mold growing in it, not just on the surface.
	So if you have anything, you know, like a wood window here, you want to actually spray it with vinegar, let it sit for about an hour.
	Then you come back and do it.
	If it's 50-50, is it work?
	It's that to be pure vinegar.
	I would do pure vinegar.
	That's that's gonna be your strongest fix right there.
	Well, come back in an hour to that.
	You come back and you keep it clean.
	And then once you've had it there, these are places that you want to check all the time.
	Because if you didn't do it exactly right, like we scrubbed that too soon, then that's when it's gonna reoccur.
	Bring this with me.
	Next up, bring some extra gloves too.
	I hate touching the stuff.
	You don't want to touch the mold for the bigger.
	Well, one place you always have a lot of moisture is your sink.
	Everyone thinks that your kitchen sink is so clean, like you, you know, you're cleaning grapes in the strainer, you drop it and eat one.
	This is the worst.
	And I'm, you know, I'm a mom, I have a 19-year-old now, so I have a toddler.
	So I'm all about germs all the time.
	And everyone knows wash their hands, do this.
	But if your kitchen sink is dirty, then you're sending everyone to wash their hands and it's just spreading everything everywhere.
	If you have your family cleaning in a dirty area, it's it's really just running.
	So same thing, pure vinegar, get it out.
	No, because this is stainless steel, so you can scrub that right away.
	But right around the lip of your sink, also if you have an undermount sink, if you have natural stone or any uh, you know, countertops, and then you have the caulking underneath the sink.
	Um, that is where you're going to find it.
	And people often miss that.
	You could have your, you know, go through and clean your whole house and you look underneath there.
	This is the other spot that just drives me crazy.
	When people say, Oh no, my house is clean.
	I lift this up, and right under here, this little spot here.
	Oh my, you see that there?
	Yes.
	You all see that?
	Get my vinegar back in here.
	There you go, you can see.
	I'm not even home without it.
	I'm not leaving home without this.
	And these sponges, by the way, we've studied all you know, we you guys always ask me about the sponges.
	Yes.
	You can't just microwave them.
	No, no, they're bad.
	Just change the darn sponge.
	Okay, all right.
	Now, this is a separate issue.
	Let me put this back.
	Dishes.
	Yeah.
	I I thought you wash the dishes, you put them away, everyone's gonna be happy.
	Right?
	You argue that's a problem.
	Well, it's a huge problem.
	Most of us have dishwashers in our home.
	If you don't, you probably have someone who is the dishwasher in your home, which should be my teen son, but that never works out, right?
	But you take your dishes out of the dishwasher and they still have a little bit of moisture on them.
	Yeah, but it's clean.
	The habit is you just throw it in your into your cupboard, and you think it's fine.
	But as you can see, as you stack them.
	You all see the water here?
	This is pretty typical.
	You all live this yourself.
	But I'm sure it is clean water.
	It's clean water, but over time again, mold just needs a dark, moist spot to grow.
	And what have we created once you close the cabinet door?
	Dark moist spot.
	So always, always clean everything off.
	Make sure they are air dry, towel dried, and then I put them away.
	All right.
	This sort of surprised me.
	I and I think of the refrigerator as a generally clean.
	It's another clean place, right?
	You know, nothing's gonna grow in the freezer.
	And down here, we do clean the inside of our fridge, but you're not worried about the inside of the fridge, although it can be dark and moist.
	Well, the inside of the fridge can grow up, but you see that.
	So people think of that, and you definitely don't want anyone opening up your fridge when they come over for dinner and they're like, we don't want to eat, we'll eat out.
	That's um if people come over to your house for dinner and they invite you out to dinner all of a sudden.
	Bad sign.
	It's not a good sign, exactly.
	But this is your drip pan underneath.
	Uh, you know, we always say, like, roll your refrigerator out and clean underneath it, and then you're always horrified.
	I'm a clean freak.
	I used to have a cleaning business for years.
	Everyone's house has some secret dirt underneath the refrigerator.
	I don't care how clean you are.
	But the drip pan is actually connected to your refrigerator.
	So this is something you actually want to pull out.
	It's designed to catch any moisture that comes out of your fridge.
	So again, dark moist spot, and this is a few.
	And how often do you should you pull this dip print this drip?
	You know, I would make it a habit every time you clean out your fridge.
	That's a great thing.
	Holidays, anything.
	Yes, you you can't clean enough.
	But this one is really simple.
	Something like this, you can do a little dish soap and water right in your kitchen sink and put it back.
	Again, make sure it's dry, though.
	How many of you honestly have never even looked at your drip pan?
	I mean, look at the audience.
	Now they will, see?
	Yes.
	I should have asked it the other way.
	No one's actually who's actually cleaned it.
	One lady.
	There you go.
	Literally, one person in the audience cleaned the picture.
	Okay.
	Next pod, it's unbelievable.
	Air conditioners.
	I I know air conditioners are concerning, but I I mean I look at it from the outside, it looks like this.
	I don't think much about it beyond that.
	No, this is a huge culprit because you know, it's summertime, everyone turns on their air, and then you notice that you're not feeling so great.
	Well, when you look up at it, it looks clean.
	But when the flaps open or you look deeper into Your system, all of these units have removable air filters for a reason.
	You see this, guys?
	For you to be able to clean it, right?
	So this is something you could take out again, wash in your sink with you know a little soapy water, air dry it, put it right back in.
	Because all of this leads to bigger problems.
	If you don't care take care of the small ones, you're gonna get something like this.
	So how do you know when it's time to get a mold inspection?
	When you got a big problem, we're giving you our DIY mold checklist.
	So stay with us.
	Very well done.
	Thank you.

	All do eyes.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	We're back with our investigation into secret toxic mold that could be growing in your home.
	HGTV's rehab addict, Nicole Curtis.
	She's helping us come up with a DIY mold checklist.
	You can figure out if you have any mold problem.
	This stuff seems scary, but if you can fix it like you can, it all goes away.
	So my go-to test from Natha is going to tell us what she's gonna do.
	You're gonna come through this entire episode with us.
	She actually found mold in our home last year.
	Yeah.
	How's it doing now, the house?
	Well, the house is good.
	I got rid of um about two-thirds of it.
	Yeah.
	Um thirds?
	Yeah, I said two thirds, Dr. Leave me alone, I'm working on it, okay?
	I'm sending Nicole over afterwards.
	But yeah, I got rid of about two thirds, but I took care of the one in the bathroom, and I took care of the one by the radiator.
	So um I'm excited about that.
	What's left?
	I'm not gonna tell you.
	Well, we're gonna check this for anybody else.
	Here's the first question.
	Is there a musty odor in your home?
	So please just describe what mold really smells like using a connoisseur's language.
	Well, I would say it doesn't smell good.
	So it's not like walking and you smell fresh apple pie.
	If people think your house smells like you have a cat and you don't, I mean, I had this happen in my own house.
	They said, you know, you really need to change your litter box.
	Like, we don't have cats.
	And there was a moisture problem where our air conditioning was leaking into the basement.
	So it's it's a smell that isn't normal to your home.
	Most of the time it's water.
	It doesn't grow on you.
	No, it is it's definitely not one that you want.
	And not the people in the home.
	Do you have a cat?
	No, I don't have a cat.
	No.
	Smell like cat urine.
	New it doesn't smell have a rain smell either.
	Okay.
	Or like a cabin.
	You look like a little little house to peri going on here.
	Yeah, just a little bit.
	You know, I gotta do right for you, Dr. Hy.
	Next up, are you having allergic reactions inside your home?
	So you told me or not that you were having some issues around this.
	And these are just you'll feel like a little stuffiness.
	You know, yeah.
	So yeah, last year I had a little stuffiness um, you know, when you all came to my house, but this year it's a little better.
	Um, like I said, I got rid of two-thirds of it.
	Come on over here.
	We got two more to keep it.
	The next issue is have you had past issues with water, right?
	And ask yourself that.
	Is you know, and I don't know how often you look in the house for water issues, but a lot of folks will recognize when it's a heavy rainstorm, you'll get dripping here and there.
	You just see moisture.
	That's that's what we found in our house.
	Right.
	There's a little bit of moisture in the wall, and I just wrote it off.
	It's because it's so small, a little droplet of of moisture in the drywall, you realize that that's the tip of the iceberg.
	Well, that's just it.
	Once water hits something, it spreads.
	And once the water, once the mold hits it, as I said, it has roots.
	And so it can travel through the drywall and the paint, and there's so many different symptoms, and people usually just take care of the symptoms of mold.
	Water people probably can pin out, but condensation is more subtle.
	And that's the last big tip you have for us.
	Well, if there's places in your house where water accumulates, like in a bathroom.
	When you take a shower and there's water beating up on the mirror and it's coming down your walls, you have to be using things like your bathroom vent.
	The bathroom vent is there mostly for condensation.
	Yeah.
	And the thing is, well, I mean, it's a too cold.
	Yeah, there's a win-win there, I guess.
	But the thing is is that you have to keep it running after your shower.
	Most people go in, Turn it on, jump in the shower, turn the light off, turn the vent off, and they leave.
	So I always suggest let your vent run at least 10 minutes after you bathe, after you shower, anytime you have the water running, just so it makes sure, just so you make sure that it clears the air.
	Is that the one third left behind your house?
	That's probably it, right?
	It's not the smell though, right?
	It's not the one-third left, but you know, to her point, I want to say when I said uh fixed the radiator, we had to take up the entire floor because of the condensation from the radiator that was creating the mold.
	So we had to do the entire floor.
	I fixed that.
	I'm proud of you.
	Thank you!
	All right, coming up next.
	It's our final question on the checklist, and we're answering it inside someone's home.
	You all want to miss this.
	Is it a mission to save your life?
	The biggest losers, Bob Harper with a surprising list of warning signs.
	We got a heart risk IQ quiz to help you learn what those are all new ours.
	That's coming up on Friday.
	We're back, and it's time to get to the final question on our DIY mold checklist to help you determine if there's a mold problem in your home.
	Here's the final clue.
	Are there any visual spots in known areas?
	And this one's very personal for me because last year I noticed one little spot in my wall.
	And behind the wall was this.
	And behind it is that.
	You see all that stuff growing up back there?
	I had no idea.
	One of my kids was complaining about getting wheezing symptoms and feeling stuffy all the time, and her bedroom was full of this stuff.
	So mold can grow up behind a wall like I just showed, my home.
	Right.
	You say there's a bigger problem with wallpaper.
	Well, the wallpaper, most people put in their bathrooms, which again is the place where we have condensation, we have all this moisture.
	And if you see the wallpaper start to come off, people just typically plug it back out.
	Of course.
	Or they'll do something to it.
	Glue on there.
	And the thing is is that if that wallpaper is peeling, that means that there's water behind that wall, pushing that wallpaper out.
	And wallpaper glue actually acts as like one of the best growth agents for mold.
	It lets it spread right up behind it.
	Do you have wallpaper in your bathrooms?
	Absolutely not.
	No.
	Think about that next time you're making a math room paper.
	No, they do make a removable wallpaper.
	There are some wallpapers that are actually made for high moisture areas.
	So when you are putting a wallpaper in those, make sure that it's rated for areas like a bathroom.
	Just leave the wall.
	Or just leave it.
	So I got one of my viewers who's live via Skype in her bathroom, right?
	And here's the thing there's a spot in that bathtub that's concerning her.
	We're gonna see if this is a visual spot for concern.
	Daniel, how are you?
	And what do you got for us?
	Thank you, Dr. Oz.
	Thank you, Nicole, for taking my question.
	So I have this one problem area along the base of my tub.
	And uh no matter how much me and my husband cough, clean, bleach it, it still keeps reoccurring.
	Um we have a concern for our children, our family.
	So hopefully, I'm hoping you can help me out.
	And let me know what I can do differently.
	All right, so um if you show us the spot, I want Nicole to uh I want to look at it for it.
	Are you ready?
	So take it away, Danielle.
	Oh, you're moving us closer.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, wait, oh my goodness.
	Oh, right there.
	It's right there, and that's usually the problem area.
	It always recurs there.
	Yeah, I see a little dark spot there.
	This is the second brick up.
	What do you think about that, Nicole?
	Well, this is very typical, Danielle, so don't feel bad, and thank you for letting us see your moldy bathroom.
	Yeah.
	So I think one of the issues, you said you clean with bleach, which bleach is only gonna clean the surface of it.
	So you're still gonna have more.
	You're kidding me.
	No.
	No, so vinegar will clean just about 82% of the different mold by mold species out there.
	So I always say hit that with full white vinegar that you any most people have in their home.
	It's safer than bleach anyway.
	Safer and you're not smelling bleach all day.
	But the thing is too, is that once those roots have taken part in there, even if you're cleaning it up and it looks like it's clean, it isn't.
	So I would suggest, once and for all, going through, taking it out with a razor blade.
	But the most important thing is is that letting that tub dry out.
	Because if you don't, what happens is that you're actually sealing the moisture in the wall with that new caulk.
	So that's probably why you're getting it again and again and again.
	Feeding the mold.
	Do it right, and I promise you it'll last you a lot longer.
	Daniel, thank you very much.
	Let us invade your bathroom.
	Take care.
	Thanks, people.
	Nicole, nice job.
	Yeah, thank you.
	You check around.
	Catch rehab attic Wednesdays and DIY, and we're gonna put this DIY mold checklist on Dr. Oz.com and the Dr. Roz app.
	Check it both out.
	You'll find out why they're so popular, be right back.
	Up next, YouTube's funniest star opens up about her secret offline health struggles and how she went from self-hate to reckless optimism.
	Music My next guest is a social media phenomenon with almost 300 million YouTube views.
	Hannah Hart of the award-winning web series, My Drunk Kitchen is one of the most influential people under the age 30, according to Forbes Magazine.
	And while she's known for sharing and maybe even oversharing online, today she's opening up about the health struggles she kept secret and how to build what she calls reckless optimism.
	Hello.
	A few years ago I posted a video.
	Just me making grilled cheese and drinking.
	This is your cooking pan.
	Welcome to my drug kitchen.
	Then it became a YouTube channel about cooking.
	And creativity.
	And friends.
	But the best part is that you guys got involved.
	Hello!
	And together we proved that sometimes life gets messy.
	That's my jam.
	Hannah's here in person.
	Not a lot of folks know this.
	I was shocked to learn that you actually started putting videos on YouTube because you were lonely.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, I was uh I had just moved from San Francisco to New York, um, pursuing my career in translation.
	That's why I studied English lit, Japanese language.
	And I was uh G-chatting with a friend of mine.
	I just got in this new laptop, and my roommate wasn't kind of down, and she was like, Man, I miss when you would just like get drunk and cook, man.
	And I was like, dude, I will cook for you right now.
	And so I shot a movie in Photo Booth and edited it, edited it in iMovie, and then I put it up on the internet, and a bunch of strangers watched it, and now I'm a star.
	Were you drunk when you made that video?
	Oh yeah.
	You were.
	Yeah, you know, honestly, like I'm 5'4 and like 125, so it doesn't take a lot.
	No, it doesn't take a lot.
	It doesn't take a lot.
	Uh you you've been very open online about the things that you're feeling, but you've kept some things secret.
	And in particular, I love if you would open up a bit about the mental health issues you were struggling with.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You know, I like to think of it as not so much secret as private.
	Uh I come from a background that when that's not just my own, it's my family's too, and our story as well.
	Um, when I made the choice to write buffering, it was because I felt like I was in a place in my life where I was able to share this.
	And it it's it's not something you can share in a four to six minute video.
	No, it's really not.
	Um, my mother has struggled with her mental health our entire lives.
	Uh she has schizophrenia, and there was a lot that we went through as a family that we had no words for and no idea how to communicate about.
	Um, and so when I became a public figure, I realized that there was a real uh ability to share the realities of the mental health system in America and what it does to people and what it does to families, to kind of put a face behind homelessness, like to show what happens, what gets people there.
	Let's go back to your you're being a little girl, your mom's diagnosed with schizophrenia.
	What is it like growing up around that?
	Well, you know, Dy it's it's interesting because we didn't know anything was different than anybody else's life, as most children who come from adverse backgrounds feel.
	Um, I didn't realize that our lives were different until I started getting older and going over to other people's houses.
	Um it was we were in a very loving home, but it was also chaotic.
	But she loved us and just still loves us.
	And did you fear that you would catch schizophrenia?
	I put it in quotes on purpose because people sort of sub subtly believe they can catch illness sometimes.
	Well, uh, you know, it's it's I worried for my own mental health.
	I mean, you have to understand that we were children growing up in our home.
	You know, I it was our home, and it wasn't it wasn't until my little sister Was born that I realized that it wasn't a safe environment for children.
	And again, my mom always says, and I really believe this, there are no bad guys in this story.
	Everybody has their story that got them to this point.
	For your life, your problem, your challenge will probably be depression, if I understand correctly.
	Which is hard to imagine because you look so cheerful here, but this is very well done, by the way.
	Her book buffering, she mentioned it briefly earlier.
	Funny.
	It's hard to write a funny book.
	And it's hard to write a funny book about serious stuff, which you do touch on.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	Yeah, you know, depression is a consequence of uh a lot of children from adverse childhood experiences.
	Um I didn't understand it was depression at the time.
	I made a video called Depression in Under Two Minutes to try and show people what it feels like when you're depressed.
	Um it's like a lead jacket.
	A lead jacket.
	Yeah, you know, it makes everything harder and heavier.
	So you actually started treating yourself a bit by developing this uh this approach towards reckless optimism.
	Yeah.
	Explain that.
	How do you how do you get into a reckless optimistic state?
	You know, I like to think of it like optimism sometimes feels too naive for me.
	Um I've lived my life by being very aware of my surroundings.
	Uh hyper-aware, in fact, and making the choice to believe that it's gonna work is based on accepting the reality that it might not.
	Like, a good example is if you're waiting for your luggage baggage claim and it's not coming out, it's not coming out.
	Everyone's bags came, they're gone now.
	And optimism to me is like, my bag's gonna come, I'll just keep waiting.
	Reckless optimism is oh man, my bag's probably not here.
	We'll have a good weekend anyway, and the airport will bring it.
	Okay, let's go.
	Let's move on.
	You know, it's understanding your circumstance, accepting your circumstance, and making the cognitive choice to be positive about it.
	Calmness in the face of adversity.
	Thank you.
	So you brought so much joy to us, I thought I'd give you a little surprise.
	This is actually a double surprise.
	Is that okay?
	Yeah.
	So Kaylee is someone you don't know yet, but she's gonna have a big time surprise.
	And I think she'll surprise you with her surprise.
	She says that you've had a massive impact on her life.
	Wow.
	And she wanted to meet you for inspiration.
	Now she thinks she's coming out here to talk to me about YouTube stars.
	She doesn't know we have the biggest one sitting next to me.
	Oh my god.
	You want to meet her?
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Kayleigh, come on out.
	Oh my gosh.
	Hi.
	Hi, hi.
	Hi, thank you so much for you too.
	Oh my god.
	I love surprising people.
	I'm very good.
	Come on over here.
	Come on, me.
	Hi.
	Let me cuddle with you a little bit.
	Thank you very much.
	So have a seat.
	So, what do you think about having Hannah sitting next to you there?
	I'm shaking, look at me.
	I'm so excited.
	Hi.
	Hi, I can't.
	Where are you from?
	Uh, South Anwood, New Jersey.
	Ooh.
	Yes, yes.
	So just over there.
	Just just over the uh the pond there.
	So when she thought it was me, she was very calm and collected.
	As soon as she finds that you here, it changes everything.
	So what do you want to say to Hannah?
	What kind of inspiration is she giving you?
	Oh my gosh.
	Yeah, just put you on this way.
	Well, you are a huge inspiration.
	Um, just from your journey.
	You never hid who you were and your identity, and you just were positive and outgoing and from the start.
	And you you got me hooked.
	You got me hooked from the beginning.
	So thank you for that.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Helped me to be.
	For my entire life.
	My entire career, everything that's happening is because of people like you that have helped support me.
	And you've given me the chance to not only share my you've given me the chance to share my story and to every person that says that I've helped them, I want you to know that you have also helped them.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Feels pretty good, doesn't it?
	Feels really good.
	When you have someone who adores you or appreciates your openness, how does it make you feel?
	It makes me feel pretty great, Dr. Oz.
	Pretty great.
	Yeah.
	Because you don't always hear it.
	No, I mean, I I think that what is so incredible about this kind of time that we're living in is that we can connect with each other authentically.
	We don't need artifice or to be superficial or to be fake.
	What we need to do is start listening to each other and start talking to each other.
	And so, yeah, let's clap for that.
	All right, on that, we're gonna keep talking.
	When we come back, Hannah shares one of the hottest internet health trends out there.
	She has tried it so you don't have to.
	Stick around.
	Oh.
	Woo!
	new cancer fighting foods.
	These are 10 to 100 times better for your body.
	Plus, has more vitamin C than oranges, has more potassium than bananas.
	Move over, Gale.
	See the new super green.
	It's a perfect vegetable.
	And are you secretly being washed through your computer without knowing it?
	I was terrified.
	I didn't know how long they had been watching my daughter.
	Why not?
	Just how easy it is to hack into your most private moments.
	All new Oz.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	You're very bold with your lobster grabbing.
	So this one we're gonna throw back.
	Why don't you go ahead and grab him right on his back behind the claws and just drop him nice and easy over the side.
	Sounds good.
	Sounds good to me.
	I can do this.
	Goodbye.
	How brave she is.
	We're back on YouTube starring Food Network's newest host, Hannah Hart.
	She is sharing what's happened in her life.
	And most importantly, we're gonna talk about this little experiment you did.
	She actually tried the latest skincare trend that's blowing up on the internet.
	Peel off DIY face masks.
	Spoiler alert, as often happens with you, it didn't go so well.
	Take a look.
	So I don't actually know what a blackhead is, but let's just make a mask because making a glue mask seems like a lot of fun.
	So put it on a small area to make sure it doesn't hurt.
	Ooh, this is kind of cool.
	Is there any burning?
	No.
	Okay, let's just keep going.
	Well, she did you did ask a question.
	You know, is this burning yet?
	Is it burning, you know?
	You just want to know if it's gonna burn.
	To be honest, I really almost peeled off my eyebrow, I think.
	Definitely, if you're ever doing a DIY at home mask, try not to put it directly on your eyebrows if you plan to keep them.
	This part's missing.
	Right over here is missing a little bit.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, you know, we fill it in.
	Well, give me the idea.
	Charcoal, glue, and pepperm oil.
	Why would you put that on your face?
	Because other people on the internet did it.
	There you have it.
	People like you.
	People like me.
	I don't know.
	It seemed like something good to try.
	I mean, it felt pretty good.
	Uh, and I peeled it off and my face was still there, so win-win.
	Well, here's the idea, right?
	I mean, it sort of makes sense, right?
	You take some glue, I put it on my face.
	I can imagine it's sucking the black heads right out.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's science.
	And it doesn't work, does it?
	No, it's I've never been proven to work.
	It does it's I it's it's fascinating people come up with these ideas.
	They make pseudo pseudo-sense, but when you actually try them out, they don't work.
	I have a better idea for you.
	Okay.
	I'm gonna change your life today.
	Okay, I'm ready.
	My face mask actually has been demonstrated to work.
	That peel-off mask that will actually help you get rid of some of the black heads, eliminate some of the problems.
	People always complaining about.
	You're gonna mix together three eggs, whites, that is, right?
	The three egg whites will help get into those little pores and tighten them up.
	You can get some lemon, it's an astringent, and a teaspoon of honey.
	You can actually eat this if you wanted, by the way.
	And look at the texture.
	Isn't this interesting?
	Like a little meringue.
	It's like a little meringue.
	Wow, that makes me immediately want to put it on my face.
	Oh, well, funny you should say that.
	May I may I apply with my surgical technique to your face?
	Yes.
	Here, put this bib on you.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I wouldn't be re- There we are.
	I feel like I'm getting a shave at a barber shop.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Actually, you could go on like a shape.
	Now, is it burning yet?
	No, and it has a lovely scent.
	Yes.
	And flavor.
	Yes.
	Oh, you're really going for it, Dr. Huss.
	I want you to look your best.
	You look like Santa Claus now.
	Thank you.
	Oh, yeah.
	All right.
	So, how does it feel?
	How does it compare to your charcoal mask that you were trying to throw my way?
	Well, I hate to have egg on my face.
	Oh, she'll be here all week.
	I don't be here all week.
	Try this porn beef.
	Um, it feels a lot better.
	But it doesn't look as cool as the charcoal mask.
	That's for real, right?
	Oh, it doesn't.
	No, it doesn't look as cool, but this feels good.
	It does make a lot more sense to have natural ingredients involved in anything with skincare.
	I'm trying to take myself seriously, but I know what I look like.
	What an angel she is.
	All right.
	And Hannah's YouTube channel is unbelievable.
	So you see it everywhere you want.
	Thank you very much.
	Your book is fantastic.

	So excited because today kicks off a worldwide event that will change someone's life while helping you get fitter, stronger, and healthier.
	Because I am scouring and searching for undiscovered fitness stars who have the talent and motivation to transform you right here on my show.
	With my trusted sponsorship partner, Yusana Health Sciences, we are launching a contest to find the next great trainers.
	This is a big deal.
	And we're gonna find two trainers.
	One's gonna be a part of my show, and the other is gonna come from the thousands of people that work in the Usana family.
	Now, I don't wanna waste any time just talking about it.
	I'm gonna let you meet the judges this minute.
	The first one.
	She's a celebrity personal trainer, former U.S. Marine and USANA's fitness ambassador, Erin Opria.
	Come on out, Eric.
	Our next judge is a five-time world champion boxer and Usana Ambassador, Tim Bradley.
	Come on out.
	Oh you already know me.
	I like this.
	Erin, thank you very much for showing us.
	Let me let me just hold for one second, please.
	Come on now, man.
	So much heavier than you and expect.
	My goodness.
	Can I keep this?
	No.
	You gotta fight this one.
	You gotta go.
	Go on in the rink next.
	The last time you're here, you didn't have this yet.
	Congratulations.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate it.
	I'm so happy for you.
	I don't wanna drop, I don't want to drop this.
	No, don't drop it.
	So Aaron Tim and I, we're all gonna be judging this contest together.
	So we're the ones you have to influence.
	So let's go through the criteria.
	Why is it so important for you, Sana to be part of this, Aaron?
	So USANA cares about everybody's health.
	So right now they want to strive for looking for the best person that's striving to be the best them.
	And you're gonna teach us all that's one of the criteria.
	Tim, for poacher at home, why should they care a lot about this contest?
	Well, everyone gets to vote at home and they get to be a part of this.
	And uh they also, the winner of the contest would actually be posting uh plans and videos on so that everybody at home can try it.
	So you can look like this.
	See this?
	You can look like this.
	Wow, look at that.
	It's easy to do, and you control it.
	It's your power.
	So we posted the contest all over social media, kick it all off, and my friends, the candidates are already pouring in.
	Take a look.
	Dr. Oz.
	I'm your next great trainer.
	I'm gonna be your next great trainer and make you a part of the gun squad.
	We've scoured the globe and received submissions from hundreds of trainers.
	I live in Acalo, Florida.
	I'm from Philadelphia PA.
	I'm from Sparta, New Jersey.
	I'm here in Phoenix, Arizona.
	All telling us why they should be the next great trainer.
	Because just like you, I have a deep desire to see people thrive.
	Because I can motivate and inspire you.
	Because I'm passionate about making training a holistic experience.
	My mission is to inspire women and men from around the world to become the strongest version of themselves from the inside out.
	They've shared with us their personal fitness mottos.
	My motto is progress, not perfection.
	Tough times do make tough people only compete with yourself to become the best version of yourself.
	Movement is medicine.
	Trust in the process.
	And how they've motivated their clients to change for the better.
	One of my biggest inspirational and motivational success stories, he came to me just three months ago and lost over 44 pounds.
	I get emotional.
	Literally, I am so invested in my crying.
	I have people who are winning the daily battle against depression.
	They've even shown us their signature moves.
	It's called Under the Fence.
	I'm gonna extend my leg, let go, and that the game.
	My signature move is a squat kick kick.
	My signature move is kidding asleep into an overhead snaps.
	Today, which one of these fitness gurus has what it takes to be the next great trainer?
	Oh, yeah, love it.
	The submissions are rolling in, and it's not too late for you to enter.
	Now's the time to do it.
	So, Tim, what makes someone stand out for you as a great trainer?
	First of all, you need to have experience.
	Experience is a big factor.
	You need to know what you're doing.
	Secondly, you need to know how to be knowledgeable about nutrition.
	If you're not knowledgeable about nutrition, what are you training for?
	A lot of people want to be able to drop weight, look good, drop body fat, and walk around with confidence.
	And so I would also say motivation.
	You got to be able to instill confidence in their clients and, uh also a little decrease body fat and I would say the last thing not least is increase energy in someone that's the number one thing most folks actually want just to be able to do more with what they got which is what this is about.
	Aaron attributes you're looking for is the that's one of the judges who will make the big decision.
	So my number one thing is passion.
	Clients can see right through it if you don't if you're not passionate about what you're doing they will know.
	So I'm looking for someone that just has it you can just see it coming out of them.
	I'm looking for someone that doesn't do cookie cutter training sessions someone that's more knowledgeable to train all different kinds of clients because it's not one workout fits all of course you have to be knowledgeable about fitness that's super important.
	And then you you just have to love what you're doing and be able to connect to a client more on a mental level too because then they'll open up to you if you can get someone to open up to you and that's when you break into them and they start changing.
	They want to change you could just like during sessions you just get them to open up and they're like I can do this and you just motivate them on a mental level.
	Alright so everyone wants to know the secrets of their trainers how they actually get to look like you guys look you know what I feel like it starts in the morning and then it goes on all day.
	If you start your day off right you're able to continue it it makes you crave the good stuff.
	So in the morning I start my day with a bowl of oatmeal egg whites and berries every day and then I go to my shot of beet juice and lemons and from there I do my multivitamin which is cell centrals cell central is like an amped up multivitamin has an excellent science.
	So come on over here.
	You guys are trainers you're gonna teach us one simple move each the best move that all of America has to know.
	You up for it?
	Yeah of course so one of my favorite moves we're gonna do squat into a lunge so we're right here we're gonna stand on our left foot tap our right toe keep our chest up come all the way down into a squat take it back for a lunge without fully standing come in squat lunge without standing stay low.
	Oh, yeah, that's the problem.
	Burn it, baby, burn it.
	Tim's loving it.
	Your chest up makes me don't round your back.
	Oh, yeah.
	There we go.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then you can add weight so that you get more advanced.
	All right.
	Actually, you know, even in the five I did, I feel that because we didn't come up all the way.
	Tim, show me how to do what you do so well.
	We were boxing the other day, by the way.
	He caught me right here.
	I never saw it hit me.
	He never saw it.
	I'm going to do some Superman push-ups.
	Superman push-ups.
	We're going to walk with him, all right?
	You're going to drop down.
	What makes him Superman?
	Oh, my goodness.
	And walk with them.
	move each time oh my goodness all right you guys keep going Aaron and Tim know exactly what it takes to be the next great trainer but could it be you want to hear from all the talented people out there who ready to inspire the rest of the world keep going you're almost there the question is what are you waiting for?

	We've got a heart risk IQ quiz to help you learn what those are all new odds.
	a video from our friends at BuzzFeed Nifty.
	Now I want you to tell Green Tea to move over.
	Everyone is freaking out about butterfly blue pea tea.
	Pictures of blue tea drinks are all over the internet.
	You've probably seen them.
	Lisa sitting next to me in the steers here.
	Has been sipping on some blue tea.
	You started off very slow, but you're getting seemingly more excited about it.
	Yeah.
	Um, in the beginning I expected it to be a little fruitier, I guess, due to the color, but it has a nice tint of sweetness.
	It sort of has a woodsy flavor to me, with just a whisper of sweetness.
	Yeah.
	Coming over.
	I'm gonna show you something really cool though.
	So this looks blue like it came out of a Kool-Aid box, but in fairness, it is all natural.
	It comes from these little herbs and flower bits here.
	And this is sort of cool.
	These dried flowers naturally give off that blue.
	You saw that in the little video.
	The tea is extremely popular in Southeast Asia for a reason.
	They drink it to protect against aging.
	Some of the longest of populations in the world are there, so we might want to pay attention.
	It's caffeine-free, but this is the product most.
	The colors change differently depending on what you mix it with.
	So this these flowers are a little bit alkaline, and this lemon juice is a little bit acidic.
	So this is gonna be fun.
	Are you ready?
	Sure.
	Get a shot here.
	You pour it in pour yours too.
	Are you ready to go?
	I popping changes in front of us.
	Look at that.
	Whoa!
	Now we're impressed.
	And it tastes changes completely as well.
	So I'll toast you in the lemon juice and on the tea.
	Thanks for joining us.
	Make life fun, everybody.
	Happy and healthy.
