Time Text
Today, a heart attack almost killed him.
And now he's at 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.
And gut instincts.
And how do you know if it's a gut feeling or something?
It's gas.
Well, one passes the other doesn't.
How to trust your gut to get the life you want.
coming up next.
Oh, oh, oh.
Are you ready to save some lives today?
I love you, Dr. Oz.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the sound of your heart.
Listen carefully.
It's the organ I've dedicated my entire life to.
You hear that pounding?
That by the time you're 50 years old, your heart has beat over two billion times.
All without you even noticing it.
The heart is so hard working, in fact, that it's difficult to notice.
There's a problem until it's too late.
But today, we have a brand new quiz that you can take right now that will reveal the hidden risk factors for heart disease.
The ones that no one ever tells you to look for.
And help me break it down is a man who touched death and he escaped.
And now he's on a mission to save your life.
In February, Bob Harper, to fit this icon, collapsed after working out in a New York City gym, suffering a heart attack and going into cardiac arrest at just 51 years old.
But Harper bounced back.
I am feeling so much better.
He wrote on social media just two weeks later.
I'm so lucky to have friends and family take care of me.
I sat down with Bob earlier this year to hear about the day that changed his life.
I think about the fact that my heart stopped.
My heart gave up on me.
Now, almost eight months after his collapse, Bob is back with a mission of awareness.
Today, he reveals the hidden heart health risk factors you need to know.
Please welcome to Star of the Biggest Loser, my dear friend, the win and only Bob Harper.
Come on out!
Come in.
Into the vaccination.
I was feeling I told them not to grab your biceps.
They think you're like a charmin.
They want to just squeeze you like toilet paper.
Just get-I was like really trying to maneuver those stairs.
Yes, I know.
It's not hard, not easy to walk downstairs like that.
It's not easy to walk down those stairs.
So let me ask the big question.
Despite your demeanor and you're always upbeat, how are you doing?
I mean, you you you couldn't have gotten closer to dying.
It's been uh it's been a really intense eight months.
Uh I'm feeling better.
I'm feeling a lot better.
Everything about it's changed.
My whole my whole life has changed.
My workouts, my nutrition, my whole life is completely different now.
So you are willing to revisit this issue, and I do appreciate you taking time, but also exposing yourself to make this a big topic for everybody.
Because you realize that some of the signs that were happening in your life weren't really that clear.
You know, you have good signs and you have bad signs.
Crushing pain in your chest, you're gonna go see a doctor.
You had sort of a weird dizzy thing going on.
Yeah, uh, six weeks before my heart attack, um, I fainted in a gym in Los Angeles, and that was a big sign.
That was just like the universe tapping me on the shoulder saying, Bob, something is up right now.
So today we're gonna show you all the signs that you need to be listening to.
And it's important you know these warning signs.
There's the big ones and there's some smaller ones.
We got a heart risk IQ quiz to help you learn what those are.
So come on over.
Our first question.
And these are topics that you wouldn't normally associate with your heart.
So we're gonna start off with the teeth.
How do you take care of them?
The questions are.
The first one is how do you take care of your teeth?
A brush and floss at least twice a day.
B, brush and floss once a day, or C, brush daily but never floss.
I need I need honesty here.
I know all the A's are out there, all the good two shoes A's.
But how many C's are out there?
Let me see some hands.
Thank you.
I see the this is the face I'm saying.
I didn't know about this, by the way.
And five, and by the way, I don't know anybody that flosses twice a day.
That is like commitment.
I do once a day, and I'm feeling really good about myself.
This is a different diagnosis.
If you said this twice a day, dot flossing, I know there's something else going down.
Most people ideally would do this, right?
This is the problem.
This this word never next to floss is a concern for me.
And let me just go into this tiny tiny bit.
We know that when you have bacteria in your mouth and they build up plaque, and the bacteria can grow in the plaque, it creates this whole inflammation in your mouth.
A civil war, so to speak.
Well, guess what?
The immune cells, the blood supply to your mouth goes to your heart too.
Where do you think the blood came from?
So when the heart sees the immune response, the inflammatory forced fire in your mouth, it starts to feel the heat.
And that turns out, well documented that people who have periodontal disease because they didn't floss or brush, have much higher problems with heart disease.
I never knew that.
How many of you knew that?
How many people knew that?
And we have a smartest audience in television.
Some people are pointing to the person next to them.
All right, so these are ideas, these ideas that are gonna change your life, but you gotta keep track of them, tell your friends about them.
So, question number one, the cover teeth.
Question number two has to do with this.
These are pictures of two ears.
Can you identify the difference between the ears?
Look at them carefully, look at them thoughtfully, and I'll give you a second or now.
Let me hear what you guys are thinking.
You see the difference?
Yes, you're pointing to the ear lobe.
People at home, you see how this earlobe is beautiful and unblemished?
This earlobe's got a little line right there heading this way.
You all see it?
That little crease, a fold, right?
A diagonal crease in the ear lobe is called Frank's sign.
People who have this kind of ear lobe versus the unblemished ear lobe don't seem to have uh the same risk for heart disease.
We think this might be for a couple reasons.
It might be because it it reflects us how the soft tissue in your body folds and cracks with age.
So your blood vessels could be doing that as well.
And there's not much blood supply to the earlobe.
So we sometimes think that if you don't have good blood supply to your ear lobe, you can see it this way.
Well, maybe the same thing's happening inside your heart.
So it's a clue.
Pay attention to it.
Your earlobes are fine.
Yes, too.
You have a very nice earlobe.
I'm very proud of my earlobes.
Yes, very nice earlobes, everyone.
I got them from my mom.
Next question is on tape from someone.
They're they're so busy they're still at work.
What do your work hours look like?
A, Monday through Friday, nine to five.
B, I do shift work.
It changes all the time.
C, I make my own hours.
D, I don't work.
All right, any guesses which one is the biggest risk factor.
B. You got C's, you got B's.
You see them all up there.
Let's go through the questions.
Y'all, you all clear on this?
If you answered B, if you're a shift worker, because it messes with the circadian rhythm.
Right.
That's what I thought too.
It's just like going to bed whenever when you're really supposed to be, you know, up.
Yeah.
Just seems like it'd just be so hard on the whole system of the body, right?
Yeah, and you have to keep changing back and forth because your friends want to go out, you want to play with the kids, and you're still trying to be this weird shift worker person.
So your circadian rhythm is really vital to how your body works, and it does predispose you to heart disease.
Okay, next question in our quiz.
The heart IQ quiz.
Yeah, it's this one.
Um, how far is your commute to work?
A, zero to five miles, B, six to ten miles, C 11 to 20 miles, or D, more than 20 miles.
How many people answer D out there?
Hands up.
That's a lot of.
Yeah.
So the longer commuters have a much higher incidence of having heart problems.
The stress of what?
The the uh the the traffic and just it's part of the stress, and I'm sure part of it is when you sit, you know, when sitting is a new smoking.
It's really a problem when we sit at work and everywhere else.
But when you're driving in a car, you're sitting for a long time.
And people who drive for more than 20 miles have a higher body mass index, they have bigger waist size, they're heavier.
And they have higher blood pressure, perhaps because of the stress and the weight that they're carrying around.
So you put it all together, you begin to rise.
Oh my goodness, they're simple lifestyle things that are making me at risk for heart disease.
But at the same token, I can change those.
Right.
Right?
I'm chill things that you can actually, you can floss more often.
You can drop, you know, figure out different kind of a commute, you know, partner with someone else, you have got company.
You can you can do things that are different, but there's one thing that you really can't change.
And it's something that I want you to speak to.
Because you do everything right.
Right?
Besides being a wonderful human being and not carrying a lot of uh just you know, issues in your heart.
You're willing to share a story that we all have to hear.
The one thing you couldn't change is from someone that you love dearly.
It's a hidden risk factor.
Family history.
Uh I tell people all the time, you need to know what your family history is.
I have something which uh we we diagnosed lipoprotein A. 25% of us.
I didn't realize it was that high.
I looked it up when you had your problem.
One in four of us has a high lipoprotein A. We don't go running after it all the time.
It doesn't cause a problem.
It was a very helpful problem to have a thousand years ago.
But in the modern world, it sets us up for catastrophic heart attacks and otherwise healthy seeming people.
But again, there's some things in life, guys, that you can change.
And there's some things you can't.
Right.
Focus on the stuff that you can change.
And there's stuff that can't change, oftentimes won't be as important if you've dealt with the other stuff.
I know I've been telling a lot, uh telling people so many so much these days that when you go to see your doctor, it's not just about getting your LDLs checked in your HDLs, but it's checking your LP little A, right?
And so it's like there's another factor there that um you need to ask your doctor about.
On the way to the doctor, make sure it's not 20 miles away, flosh your teeth in the car, all the good stuff.
All right.
You can take this quiz on Dr. Oz.com and stop my app as well, and please share it with the people in your life.
Coming up next, it is free class day.
And guess what?
Bob is taking us through his heart health transformation workout, which you are going to adore.
Stick around.
Can you be saying we're investigating a mysterious illness that more women are identifying that's affecting the brain?
Medical Mystery Monday.
That's coming up Monday on Dr. Oz.
Thank you.
We're back, and it's time for another free class best-selling author and biggest trainer, bringing the rather biggest loser trainer, right?
The biggest trainer around Bob Harper is here, about to give you access.
Access for the first time to his signature black fire fitness class.
Please welcome Bob Harper.
So we got lots of students here.
And today's Today's class is a big deal.
Bob's gonna take he says the number one thing to do, this is the most important part of his fitness plan, is nutrition.
Nutrition.
Take it away, Professor.
I used to think for the longest time that you could get the body that you want by just going to the gym, right?
You can just like practically beat out everything that you've eaten the night before.
A lot of people have that mentality of, oh, I ate too much last night, so I'm gonna go to the gym.
You have got to make sure that your nutrition is on point every single day.
And then you go to the gym and put those workouts together and you put those things together and you will get the body that you want.
Right, so you're gonna teach us the three big macronutrients and what part of our diet they should be.
Right.
Uh shall I go over there?
Please take it.
Okay, yeah.
Your chalkboard.
Yeah.
The professor.
Well, I think with a lot of diets that are out there, you know, they're trying to tell you to be low, um, you know, no carbs, they're trying to get, you know, uh higher fat.
I want you to balance out your plate.
Every time you sit down to eat, I want you to ask yourself, where's my protein?
Where's my fat, and where's my carb?
So here's my nutrition plan.
The first thing here is your protein.
I want you to get about 40% of your daily intake with protein.
So then we're gonna move into carbs.
People get so afraid of carbs, right?
You're always like, ooh, carbs has become a bad word.
Carbs are a fuel source.
Now they love you.
Yeah.
Right?
I'm putting carbs back on your plate.
I mean, it's important.
So, um, carbs.
Quinoa, broccoli rice.
Have you ever had broccoli rice?
No, what isn't it?
Yeah.
Um, because everyone talks about like cauliflower rice right now.
It's the same idea, but with broccoli.
I've been putting that in a lot of foods that I've been um cooking lately, and people love it.
You don't even know the difference.
It's really crazy.
It's the same like um with broccoli uh with cauliflower rice, if you've ever had I love a rocky rice.
And then, of course, kidney beans.
Now, here's the thing, because I know a lot of people say quinoa, kidney beans are a good source of protein.
They do have protein in them, which is great, but they're also very high in carbohydrates.
So I look at that as a carb more so than I do a protein.
That's how my brain works.
I mean, uh, do you I eat a lot of beans?
I uh Well, you probably can smell me already.
No, I'm a bean guy.
No, you smell wonderful with those pretty earlobes.
Um, so with your carbs, I want you to think the same thing.
Uh, well, that's my, yeah.
So think 40%, right?
So, and then finally, fats.
Fats keep you satiated, fats make you um feel fuller longer, right?
So uh, you've got the ones we all know about.
We've got avocado, we've got nut butters, we've got olive oil.
Now, here's the thing.
This is where I want you to have about 20% of your fat.
For me, and this is what I wanted to ask you about.
For me, with uh with my precondition precondition, um, I have to have around 10%, half of that daily.
So I go um really low fat.
Uh, and I want I want you to tell me what you think about that because it's really hard.
So I spent most of my life saying 20% fat's the right thing to do.
That's what the American Heart Association with the Mediterranean diet has even more fat.
And I think for the average person, that's good advice, but you're not the average person anymore.
And when we almost lost you, and we have to look deeply into our souls when someone like you who's doing all the things right, you're not smoking, you're not obese, you don't have diabetes, you don't have high blood pressure, without those risk factors when people are having issues, then we gotta get more serious about what diet can do.
Because food can fix it.
You just have to use it really, really aggressively to deal with what you've got.
So when you look at Dean Ornish's work, for example, and I know you've you've talked to him.
Uh this is a guy who's just changed the way we think about heart disease.
I love Dr. Orange.
He is fantastic.
And when you look at the results that he's gotten, I mean, Medicare pays for his advice, because it works so well.
But the reduction in the bad lousy LDL cholesterol, you know, 35% when you have your fats down to 10% of your diet, and your chance of having a heart problem drops by 30%.
So these are gargantual numbers.
I don't even have pills that can do that.
So when you give advice like this, don't think of this as soft, touchy feely things just because you can do it at home.
Realize it is as powerful as what a doctor like me can offer you.
Still see someone like me, but do what you gotta do on your own, so you don't have to see me for the wrong reasons.
So I think you're getting the right advice.
So you're not gonna change that?
You're not gonna tell me I can have 20%.
Because I really wanted to put them on the spot right now and just go follow it out of me.
I really wanted that.
You know what?
I'd much rather you respect me than love me.
And hopefully you'll do both.
I love this.
I love you and respect you.
All right, coming up next.
Exactly you get up and get moving, Bob gives us his black fire-free class day workout.
You are going to adore it.
Stick around.
It is free class day, and Bob Harper is here.
He's teaching us part of his signature black fire workout routine to improve your heart health.
Be right back.
We are back with more of our pre-clash from Bob Harper.
And before we get into more details, these guys have been begging for answers.
So, Cindy, ask a question that's gonna stun us all.
Okay, so there's always been a conflicting theory about full body workouts versus one specific muscle workout.
What do you think about that?
Well, I think that if you are going into a competition or you're wanting to like be a bodybuilder, you have to really focus on those single body part movements.
I work with people that are just trying to lose some weight, get healthy, burn maximum calories.
So I'm a big believer in just getting a full body workout when you work out.
All right, so you're gonna teach us your strategic endurance class.
You ready for this?
Yes.
All right, all right.
So the first thing we're gonna just warm up.
So legs a little wider than your mat.
Yeah, take big deep breath, inhale all the way up, exhale, big deep breath, inhale up, exhale again.
Full breath up and exhale, bring your legs a little closer together.
Do it one more time now.
Reach both arms above your head, reach over to one side.
And reach over to the other side.
Good.
Does that feel good, Dr.?
Yes, I like this.
Good.
And release the arms.
Open your legs about a hip width uh hip width apart.
We're gonna go into a deep squat.
Hips below parallel and come up nice and high, down low.
Oh, you're really going low.
And high.
I like to go really low.
I like to get my hips below my knees.
And if you want to increase uh this up a little bit more, add a little hop on the top.
So squat down, hop up.
Squat down, Dr. Oz, you can go a little lower.
I thought he'd noticed.
Dr. Oz can go a little lower than that.
And four more.
Three, two, and one.
Great having you here, Bob Grafing.
We'll be right back.
No!
That's just your warm-up.
All right, here's what you're gonna do.
I don't want you to think about being in competition with anyone else other than yourself.
So what I like to do is keep track of the reps that I do with movement.
I'm gonna teach you this one movement, it's a sprawl.
A lot of times you do burpees.
This movement I want it to be very simple.
You're gonna go down into a push-up position.
From here, jump back here, look up, come back with that box front, step up and off.
You're gonna do that for 45 seconds.
Keep track of how many times you do that, okay?
Clock starts in three, two, one, go.
This is the time that you go fast.
You can either jump or step up.
I prefer you to step up just to get an idea of it good and back.
Good.
45 seconds, you said.
45 seconds.
You jump back, forward, step up, off quickly.
There you go.
This is the time.
You've got about 15 more seconds.
Yeah, look at them.
Look at them.
Keep going.
Doctor I'm perfect.
I'm doing he's adding a push-up.
He's making it harder.
Good.
And go ahead and stop.
Keep track of how many you've done, put it on that board.
How many did I do?
You guys can count.
Now, the next thing you're gonna do, your heart rate's up, right?
Feel like your heart rates up?
Yes.
Good.
Definitely up.
So now everyone always wants to work core.
We're gonna do that.
Very simple.
You're gonna lay down on the ground.
You're gonna butterfly the legs out.
You're gonna reach your arms over your head, and you're going to use momentum to throw your body up.
Shoulders going past your hips.
A lot of times when I see people doing crunches, they like to stay down low to the ground, which is great.
This is just another way to do it.
Okay?
So really use the arm, use momentum, use speed.
45 seconds, keep track.
We go in three, two, one, go.
Go one, go.
Really lay all the way back.
Reach your arms over your head.
Yes, and throw that body up.
Is the wheezing normal?
So think about it.
I want to keep that heart rate up.
We got 30 seconds left.
Keep going.
This is where you can start getting that speed.
We were slow and controlled with those falling stars.
Now what I want you to do is be fast.
Dr. Oz is a master.
Look at his core strength.
Look at Dr. Oz's core strength.
I knew it would work.
15 seconds.
15 more.
Good.
Remember to keep track seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one.
Whoa!
Bob upper.
Love you.
You can find all these workouts back, all the free class day videos are at Dr. Oz.com and they're on our app to check it out.
You'll find out why it's so popular.
We'll be right back.
Up next, my friend Devon Franklin is here.
He is sharing how to get to the next level of success in your life and your career.
Let me tell you something.
Today God called you here because it's time to stop hitting the snooze on whatever he called you to do.
Today is the day he wants you to answer the alarm.
Those are words from one of the biggest success stories that I know.
Preacher and New York Times best-selling author, Devon Franklin.
He is here today to show you how you can become wildly successful without losing your faith.
He has created a 30-day plan that you can follow to help you thrive and get to the next level.
What is the path in life that is going to lead to success?
He's a spiritual voice for a new generation with a message for all of us.
In the movie of your life, you will succeed.
Preacher Devon Franklin started out as a Hollywood executive and movie producer.
He worked on films like The Karate Kid, The Pursuit of Happiness and Miracles from Heaven.
Throughout his life, Devon has taken a road that's traveled, placing his faith front and center, and has still found success.
I used to be an executive for Columbia Pictures and was senior vice president of production and made movies that you guys have seen.
But while I was there as an executive, the alarm started going off again.
And the alarm was saying, Devon, you are more than just the title on your door.
I would get the direct deposit into my account and it would not satisfy me.
Why am I not happy?
Because there was more I was called to be.
So you know what I had to do?
I said one day, okay, here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna quit my job.
Because I no longer want to be defined by what I do and a title.
I have to be comfortable being who I am, and I have to be able to have the faith to walk that out.
Please welcome Preacher and New York Times bestselling author, Devon Franklin.
So nice to see you.
Devon, I love you.
I love you.
All the ideas you come up with, these are they're startling to me because you get people to think differently about something many of us have taken for granted.
Yes.
Which is how faith and the real world, the secular world can live together.
And you argue that you can be wildly successful without losing your faith.
How do you convince people that it's not a one or the other solution?
Because we aren't one or the other.
We're both spiritual and we're both secular.
We live in a world that doesn't necessarily believe our values or necessarily honor what we want to stand for.
So too often we allow our spirituality to stay compartmentalized.
But I believe that our spirituality and our faith was designed to thrive in the secular world and transform that world as a result.
Alright, so we're going to be real practical about this.
Make it all clear for us.
He's found a trailblazer for a bunch of reasons.
He's found a way of combining spiritual principles with secular of this world strategies that help guide your success over the next 30 days.
He calls these principles the Hollywood Commandments.
Now we all know about the Ten Commandments.
Right.
What are the Hollywood commandments?
Uh the Hollywood commandments.
See, I've been in Hollywood for 20 years.
And these are the top 10 lessons for life-changing success that I've learned from 20 years of being in Hollywood.
And that's why I wrote the Hollywood Commandments was to help people with these 10 lessons become more successful.
And it's not for actors or not only for actors, I'll say, or directors or producers.
It's for everybody.
It's for everyone.
I mean, everyone out there listening.
This is not a Hollywood book by a Hollywood elite at all.
This is for anyone.
If you are stuck in your life, if you are frustrated, if you're complacent, if you are just looking for the help on how to achieve your dreams, this book can apply to anybody in any of those categories.
How many of you will feel like that once in a while?
Like you're need a little guidance.
Right.
Okay, we're gonna walk through a 30-day plan that uses these Hollywood commandments to kickstart your success.
The first commandment to success is to realize your prayers alone are not enough.
I mean, that sounds sort of blasphemous.
I know a lot of folks are saying it's just the prayer show for prayer, but you say it's bigger.
No, hold on, before everybody turns off.
Right.
I didn't say prayer doesn't work.
I said prayer alone is not enough.
Faith without works is dead.
So I believe you have to pray and then prepare for what you just prayed for.
So for example, if you invite someone over to your house and they RSVP.
Right.
And you say, okay, great, they're coming.
What do you do?
You prepare.
You prepare, you get the house ready because you know who's about to arrive.
The same way with our blessing.
When we pray for the blessing, we then get our life ready to receive it because we're expecting to get the answer to our prayer.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pray and prepare.
Pray and prepare.
So the Devon he recommends the 10-10 rule for prayer.
Just get a real concrete about this.
Yes.
What is 10-10?
Here's what it is is that sometimes uh, you know, you've hold the old, you've heard the old adage, right?
That if you fail to plan, you're gonna plan to fail.
Yes.
And so this is to help deal with that issue.
1010, 10 minutes of prayer and 10 minutes of preparation every day.
This will help build the habit over 30 days of spiritually getting in line with God.
And I believe that once we begin this every single day, we set ourselves up for the very success that we're believing for.
All right, so I'm gonna keep challenging you because I I love how you can bring faith into the real world.
I want you to meet somebody.
Okay.
Many people carry around prayer journals, right?
And these these prayer journals, and Raquel here is Joining us.
She has one of them.
And you're very brave to have brought it today.
I appreciate it.
I'm gonna share your story real quick.
So she feels, and you're not alone that your prayers are not being answered.
And when it comes to success, I think there are a lot of folks who join Raquel and say, Well, I prayed for the right things, good things, things that should happen, and yet I can't get it.
Why do you feel that way, by the way?
I mean, honestly, I feel like my prayer language right now is frustration.
Um, I moved to New York to pursue a career in production two years ago, and I've been successful when it comes to working for other companies, but my goal was always to start my own business.
So walk us through the 1010 plan.
Yeah.
And apply it to Raquel and so many others who are struggling, not believing their prayers are being heard.
See, Raquel, why this is so helpful and why I do think this will actually help you out is because you said you've been praying, but then you get busy at work, and when you get busy at work, you don't have the time to actually pursue the things that are in your heart.
When you do the 10-10 rule, you are setting aside active time in your schedule.
And I can promise you that once you begin to work towards your goal, you're gonna feel less stress and you're gonna feel less frustration.
I also have this thing called the frustration prayer in my book, which I'm gonna share with you.
I love this.
I love this.
This is make this part of your daily 10-10.
So as you are preparing, you have to put frustration on the altar, and every day hit it back.
Let me just use it.
Put your hands like this, right?
If I if I do this, what do you do?
Push back.
Okay, so right now I'm life.
What do you do?
Push back.
There it is.
Every day you get up and you push back.
You're stronger than anything coming against you right there.
You got it.
We're gonna put that frustration prayer up on Dr. Oz.com.
Everybody out there, you want to check it out?
Simple, easy, and very stimulating.
It's what I like about it because it's not just sitting back passively and waiting for stuff to happen.
Right.
You know, there is role of faith, obviously, it's huge, but you gotta get the other work down.
That's why the third part's so important.
Okay, let's say for everyone out there who can't get past their past.
You can't shake the past.
I want you all to listen to how Devon describes how you manage that.
I need to talk to somebody right now, because the reality is you feel crushed by your dream.
Because there was some point in time when you shared your dream with someone and they did not see the same dream you saw.
So instead of them speaking life to your dream, they spoke negativity and it really hurts you.
And some of you are still dealing with the ramifications of the pain that was produced when you were just so excited about sharing your dream, but then your family member or your friend who you really thought was gonna have your back.
Put water on the fire of your destiny.
God sent you here today because it's time to pick your dream back up.
That's why you're here.
I need you to know that he sent you here today because it's time to pick your dream back up.
It is powerful.
So, what's the Hollywood commandment that you're preaching about that you're describing in that video?
How do you put it into practice?
That Hollywood can commandment is your amnesia is an asset.
Because too often we stay in the past.
We're stuck over a failure or something we thought was a failure or what may have been a setback, and instead of being in our present and preparing for our future, we stay in the past.
So important to forget the things that are holding back.
Don't get hung up on it.
Yes.
Simple stuff, but delivering power.
That's right.
That's right.
All right.
Now y'all heard the term gut feeling, right?
We all think we know what a gut feeling is, but how do you know what your gut is really trying to say?
Up next, Devon tells us exactly how to know what our gut is saying with the first of its kind simulation.
Stay around.
Thank you guys.
A newlywed found with a gunshot wound to the head.
Is it a suicide or is it murder?
All do Oz.
That's coming up on Tuesday.
We're back with the 30-day plan to be wildly successful without losing your faith.
The two together, they work.
Now, how much do you trust your gut instincts?
I know I ask that a lot, but I'm just curious.
Do you really trust your gut instincts?
How do you know if it's really there?
For the first time on the show, for the very first time, we have a gut instinct simulation that will help you know what your gut is really trying to tell you.
So, first of all, where did God instincts come from?
You know, I believe gut instincts are God speaking to us.
God does not always speak in a yell, he speaks in a whisper.
And how do you know if it's a gut feeling like you're describing the whisper from God or it's uh it's gas.
Well, one passes, the other doesn't.
I like that.
I like that.
That's very good.
One passes, the other doesn't.
The gut instinct from God does not pass.
It stays in your spirit, and you can't avoid it.
And usually the gut instinct is gonna require us to get uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Because sometimes our comfort leads to complacency.
So Devon's created a first of his kind simulation to show you if your gut could talk, what would it say?
All right, here we go.
I'm gonna done a hard hat to do this.
I appreciate you.
Never done this before.
There we are, all right.
So, Devon, take it away.
Okay, okay.
I'm being the gut instinct.
Okay, there you go, right?
Okay, but straight ahead.
You see the gut?
I see the gut feeling.
Next exit.
So this is this is how we are, right?
We're on the road to success.
But is it gas?
It's not gas, because it's not passing.
It's not passing.
Just be careful.
So here's the thing.
We we we're on the road to success.
But what happens?
We feel the gut, we hear God speaking.
Yes, but then all of a sudden, we want to let the facts we let our intuition, we say, wait a minute, it doesn't align with where I want to be.
I don't have the money, I don't have the education.
Get the facts.
There we go.
Our minds so sometimes the facts can work against our faith.
So instead of going to the gut feeling, we then go this way.
This is a one-way street.
It leads us away from where we're supposed to be.
Do you know where this takes us when we don't follow our gut instinct?
No.
Look at this.
Doubt and fear just ahead.
Yeah.
This is where so many of us live on the highway to success.
We stop right here because we've gotten so far away from what we're supposed to do.
Now, if you just keep going there, guess what's gonna happen?
You know, crash in it, crash.
Exactly.
So we gotta turn quickly and get back to the gut feeling.
Because the gut feeling on the road to success is gonna take us to our purpose, our peace, and our power.
And when we are there, we cannot be stopped.
I like this.
Hey, I like that tour.
You guys busy?
All right, well, let's help an audience member.
Shark Share's here, Sharey, meet Devon.
She thinks her gut is speaking to her.
She thinks her gut speaking to her, but she's not sure.
So what are you feeling?
I feel absolute fear.
Pure absolute terror.
Um, I'm a writer, I write fiction novels.
I also help people write books.
I teach a whole course on how to tell your story and share your message.
But when it comes to sharing my own story and giving some personal insights to my own backstory, I'm absolutely petrified.
Um my gut is saying go, but it's also feeling like somersaults.
So I feel that.
I think everyone here feels the same thing.
So what is the gut test, the gut check test to make sure we're not gonna pass.
It's so important to do this this gut check test.
Because too often when you feel the gut check, you're like, how do I know it's my gut?
So here's a couple tips that will help you.
Uh, people coming into your life.
Now, here we are.
We're people coming into your life to give you confirmation and courage to go and do what your gut is telling you, which is tell your story.
Here's another tip: strange timing.
Right.
This may seem like wait, I'm already in my career, but why do I feel like I need to tell my story?
The timing of it is telling you that maybe this is exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
Here's a third tip.
Details falling into place.
You already are helping others tell their story.
So it actually is pretty easy for you to tell your story.
All you gotta do is make your fears your to-do list and start doing it.
Here's a here's the hard hat for the tricks.
It's a little something extra on the show.
Devon, thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
For the complete 30-day guide to be wildly successful without losing your faith, go to Dr. Raz.com.
And for even more insights, I want you to think carefully here.
Devon's new book just came out.
It's called The Hollywood Commandments.
I read a lot of books.
This thing is really, really special.
Pick it up in stores now.
We'll be right back.
*applaudissements*
We are investigating a mysterious illness that more women are identifying that's affecting the brain.
Medical Mystery Monday.
That's coming up Monday on Dr. Oz.
Two words.
Healthy and delicious.
Can you have both at the same time?
Well, your kids and maybe even your husband may complain and tell you no, but there's another man in your life who says you can have it all.
I'm talking, of course, about Rocco Despirito.
Come on out, Rocco!
Whoa!
How are you?
Oh, check my heart.
Well, the Hearts in America are all looking forward to meeting you and spending time with you.
Thank you.
Ruggers came up with a new book, which is fantastic.
And he makes the argument that you can have flavor and you can have healthy at the same time.
So what is the formula to achieve that magical combination?
Imagine that food that's good for you.
They actually like to eat.
Alright, so you actually put a formula together.
So walk us through this.
Yes.
Everybody at home, if you don't think it's possible, here it is.
The formula.
Here's the formula.
Here's the secret formula.
Chef's it's an art formula we do, but there is a little bit of math or an algorithm to it.
You start off with your favorite vegetable.
I happen to like broccoli, could be any green leafy vegetable, cruciferous vegetable, anything that you like.
A lot of that vegetable.
Then you add a superfood off my superfood list in the book.
That happens to be chia seeds.
Rich and omega 3s, right?
You know all about that, Dr. Ross?
I love them.
Then acid.
Always need acid in your food to bring out the flavor.
One of my favorites is lemon juice.
Lime juice would work well.
Balsamic vinegar would be great as well.
Cider vinegar would also work.
Then a non-calorie condiment.
It's acting as a flavor uh provider.
Sriracha is a great example.
Then a healthy plant-based fat, coconut oil, one of my favorites.
And then four ounces of your favorite protein.
Could be uh plant-based, could be red meat, could be chicken, could be fish.
But in third, it's sort of a you're meaning vegetables.
You don't have to add the meat, you can eat other forms of meat.
You're absolutely right.
You can there are lots of fruit protein sources in in the veggie world.
My bookworth's great in it with a keto diet, which is high-fat, high protein.
Uh plants contain lots of protein.
Plant-based diet, as you know, is great all around.
Uh, it's less expensive, great for the heart, great for the energy, great for the environment.
There are really so many reasons.
So you have proven that you can check the healthy box and check the delicious box.
I believe I have.
So prove it to us.
You made a recipe for us today that I think is an example, it's emblematic of what you're talking about.
Absolutely.
So these are uh Italian sloppy joes.
Uh, we start off with um big giant beautiful mushrooms.
So this will suffice as a a bun or a bottom layer.
And then we start with um ground turkey, you can use breast or you can use thigh, up to you.
Uh tomato puree, fresh tomatoes if you like, olive oil, onions, oregano, basil, and a little bit of tomato paste and garlic.
All right.
So that's all been sauteed in this pan.
To the pan, we're gonna add the tomato product.
You stir, yeah, sure.
Sure, yeah, no problem.
The least I could do a little bit.
Make yourself useful, Dr. Roger.
Please, finally.
We add a we're adding basil, we're adding oregano, salt and pepper, of course.
Yep.
Way up high.
All right, so this takes how long to simmer it down?
So this takes 20 minutes total, start to finish.
If you have a really hot stove, one of those fancy ones, it could be 10, 15 minutes.
Okay.
And then you just make it like you'd make a burger or a sloppy joe.
You can have a top and bottom if you want, or just the bottom alone.
Um, and make it a healthy portion.
We're talking about very few calories here.
Remember, sloppy gels are supposed to be sloppies, yes.
Exactly.
I'm gonna eat this as sloppily as I can.
But not every recipe works, you know, Dr. Oz.
I've I tried pasta for many years.
Trying to make pasta healthy and delicious.
Wow, that's an amazing.
That's the guy fieri hold on the burger.
I love that.
That was really good.
Yeah.
Kids love these things.
Give them a napkin, here's no worries to.
Who wants to taste one of these?
I'm going to at the break.
Oh, good.
Lots of hands went up.
We're gonna go attack the audience.
But when we come back, broccoli's got a healthy, no-baked, listen carefully, no baked chocolate chip cookies.
They are ready to eat without even turning on the oven.
And you take no time to make.
Stick around.
A newly wed found with a gunshot wound to the head.
Is it a suicide or is it murder?
All does.
That's coming up on Tuesday.
We are back with Chef Record the Spirit O who wrote a book where he swears everything is both delicious and healthy.
I want you to prove it.
Did you ever make a dish that was really, really healthy, but didn't make the book because it wasn't delicious.
Interesting question.
You know, I like to think I'm pretty good at this at this point, but there are some fails.
I've tested on my family and they're brutally honest.
And they're all good.
This sucks.
Yeah.
Oh, because this is all good.
I know you're a mom, it's right.
Making tofu alfredo just doesn't work.
No matter how much no matter how much kale you put in it, it just doesn't taste good.
Who wants tofu alfredo?
Anybody?
Not a single person wants tofu alfredo with jail.
All right, what do you got for us?
This they will want.
So this is really cool.
This is a no-baked chocolate chip cookie.
Imagine not having to bake anything anymore.
Just making chocolate chip cookies and eating them, right?
Who might want one of these?
No, I think right over there, they're they pre-ordered, by the way.
Pre-ordered?
Yeah.
All right.
Go ahead.
You keep teaching Rocco.
I'm eating over here.
Should I bring it?
They want more.
They're gonna rush.
No, Scott, get the work over there.
What are you doing?
They were begging me.
Hey, I'll take this.
Go.
Someone's gotta cook.
All right.
Can't have America watching your backside.
Okay, so what are you making there?
Well, let America decide.
So, what I'm making is uh no baked chocolate chip cookie.
This is coconut flour.
This is almond flour, it's basically just ground up almond meal and coconut meal.
If you're allergic to nuts, obviously you'll use all coconut and not any almond.
This is almond paste or almond butter, and then we have sugar-free chocolate chips.
So you mix these ingredients together.
You end up with a uh a mound of what feels like cookie dough, right?
And then you you make balls and press them.
And you don't have to cook it at all?
There's no baking required at all.
I'm gonna get my hands in there.
You keep making for C S. What do you guys think so far?
People have been eating them.
Is it great?
Really good.
You like the cookies more or Rocco more?
Both.
Both.
She has an unfair advantage.
She just touched me for 12 minutes straight into commercial.
So you just you just make a round ball and then you press it into a cookie shape.
Of course, your food stylist made them look a lot nicer than I'm doing.
Always brilliant.
We'll pass the rest now.
Thank you much.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
The book and the food is delicious.
You can find the recipes at Rocco's uh and all last more Rocco Recipes Doctoraz.com.
Remember to check out Rocco's new book.
It's called Healthy and Delicious.
It's available now.
Listen, it's page what we're gonna give you this page.
400 pages, so that's enough to cover the audience.
We're gonna give you everyone gets this one page.
Is that okay?
Just the one page.
Is that good enough?
You all happy one page?
I don't know.
Maybe maybe we could do a little more.
What do you think?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
