Is Coconut Oil Healthy
00:13:07
|
|
| Is coconut oil healthy or not? | |
| Today. | |
| An alarming recommendation to stop eating this stuff. | |
| We're having the debate that will answer it once and for all. | |
| And the term overfat. | |
| Overfat has to do with how much fat is in your body. | |
| People can be skinny and actually be overfat. | |
| I'm going to show you how to determine if you are overfat right in your own living room. | |
| Coming up next. | |
| Ready to say some lives today? | |
| Yeah! | |
| I love you, Dr. Oz. | |
| Or not. | |
| The debate heated up this summer after the American Heart Association came out with an alarming recommendation to stop eating this stuff, pitting health food experts and even doctors against each other. | |
| Coconut oil. | |
| You probably never even heard of it 10 years ago. | |
| Sure, there were coconuts and there was oil, but coconut oil? | |
| And then overnight, coconut oil became America's health food darling. | |
| Hundreds of YouTube videos popped up touting it for improving your health both inside. | |
| It's great for anybody who's trying to fight heart disease and out. | |
| Coconut oil can actually help stimulate hair growth. | |
| Today, health food blogs and Pinterest still praise it for helping with everything. | |
| Weight loss, lower blood pressure, brain health, digestion. | |
| Heck, it's even supposed to be good for your dog. | |
| And studies have backed up the idea that coconut oil's unique chemical composition is beneficial to your health. | |
| We even covered it on this show. | |
| This is the fat you eat to lose the fat you don't want. | |
| But recently, the tide has turned on coconut poison. | |
| Negative headlines, prompted by a science advisory from the American Heart Association, which recommended against eating coconut oil, made me want to take another look at it. | |
| So, is coconut oil healthy or not? | |
| Today, we're cracking the case and telling you the truth. | |
| All right, when the data is conflicting, there are two medical experts I turn to for answers. | |
| But when it comes to coconut oil, they are on opposite sides. | |
| So, I invited them both here today to help us decide, once and for all, if we should continue to cook with coconut oil. | |
| Please welcome my good friends, Dr. Mark Hyman, who says coconut oil is healthy, and Dr. Mike Roysen, who says it is not. | |
| We're going to take on the headlines one at a time. | |
| The first big headline is that coconut oil can cause heart disease. | |
| Mike, Dr. Royce, you say that it does. | |
| Well, the American Heart Association came out with this recommendation because it found that switching from saturated fats to unsaturated fats lowers your LDL cholesterol as much as does a statin and reduces the risk of heart disease as much. | |
| Let me show you the particular problem with coconut oil. | |
| Now, as we go over here, we're going to do a little comparison. | |
| So, what is this, first of all? | |
| This is a bucket. | |
| Bucket. | |
| Thank you. | |
| That's good, Mike. | |
| I can always tell them. | |
| And in the bucket, we're going to put the amount of fat. | |
| It looks pretty ugly, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| But if we put the amount of fat, I'll try not to get too much on you. | |
| But if we put this amount of fat in, that's the amount of saturated fat in lard. | |
| So 40% roughly, a little less than half of lard, the fats in lard are saturated fats. | |
| Correct. | |
| All right. | |
| Now the next one, you're going to pour those. | |
| This represents, I'm standing back. | |
| Yes. | |
| That represents that about 60% of butter is saturated fat. | |
| So butter has 60%, so we've gone 40, 60. | |
| Grab that big bucket down there. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| And when you add that all up, it's 80% of coconut oil is saturated fat. | |
| And we know that substituting saturated fat by an unsaturated fat, mono or polyunsaturated fat, reduces your risk of heart disease. | |
| So just so I'm clear on this, lard has only half the saturated fat that coconut oil does. | |
| Exactly. | |
| And you know you shouldn't exactly eat a lot of lard. | |
| You're also, you know, again, a lot of this information came because folks in Polynesia would eat coconuts and they had low heart disease rates. | |
| They also use coconuts for diesel fuel. | |
| They do? | |
| Yes, that's how they drive the cars in Polynesia. | |
| I didn't know that, but I guess there's a difference between eating the coconut oil. | |
| I think that's where you should keep it. | |
| Okay. | |
| But the coconut itself is different from the coconut oil. | |
| What about the brain? | |
| That was part of your argument. | |
| Well, in fact, the main argument is relates, my main argument relates to the brain. | |
| When I was at NIH, National Institute of Health, in the early 70s, the lab next to mine would give the mouse a little infection and then would feed them coconut oil because coconut oil broke down the blood-brain barrier, allowing that inflammation to get in the brain, and it was an accelerated way of causing dementia and Alzheimer's disease in the mice. | |
| You're kidding. | |
| No, this was in the lab, and it was until we got genetically modified animals, that was the standard way of getting, causing dementia. | |
| Now you've panicked everybody. | |
| So you're arguing that despite the fact that they eat this stuff in Polynesia without getting heart disease, it causes heart disease for us theoretically because of the extra fat and it might cause dementia. | |
| And the dementia risk isn't a theoretic one. | |
| That's what was actually caused in the animals. | |
| And if you were in a court of law, if you were in a criminal court, and you said, I need evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt, I don't think coconut oil causes brain dysfunction in humans beyond a shadow of a doubt. | |
| We don't have that data. | |
| But if you were in a civil trial, it is a preponderance of data, and there clearly is a preponderance of data. | |
| I think coconut oil would owe us a lot of money for the dementia, for the brain dysfunction it caused. | |
| Well, there's some reasons why people love coconut oil, which I'll get to. | |
| But can you just address, Dr. Hyman, the allegations in this court of law about coconut oil causing heart disease and maybe even being related to dementia? | |
| Yeah, well, it seems to make sense, right? | |
| The American Heart Association did declare that, but they've gotten some things wrong. | |
| They told us to eat margarine. | |
| They told us to eat low-fat diet. | |
| They certified whole wheat fruit loops as healthy. | |
| So in this case, I think they got it wrong. | |
| There's not a single study, not one, that connects coconut oil to heart disease. | |
| And the problem is that it's guilt by association, right? | |
| Coconut oil is a saturated fat. | |
| Saturated fat causes heart disease, purportedly, but then coconut oil is indicted. | |
| But the truth is that the saturated fat theory is increasingly being debunked by scientists around the world. | |
| And so we have to really think about what's really going on. | |
| You look at one of the few randomized controlled trials. | |
| This is a study that's definitive. | |
| It shows one group eating one thing, another group eating another thing, 9,000 people. | |
| They fed them corn oil, which is a vegetable oil, versus butter and saturated fat. | |
| The corn oil group had more deaths, more heart attacks than the butter group, even though their LDL went down. | |
| The second- Well, wait a second, I shouldn't say that that wasn't exactly normal corn oil. | |
| They made sure it was inflammatory corn oil. | |
| So they prejudiced the study. | |
| The reason we're debating this in coconut oil is coconut oil allows inflammation to get into your brain. | |
| Well, I would agree with that. | |
| And I would agree with it because in the past, the coconut oil that was used in those studies was like the margarine of coconut oil. | |
| It was refined, it was chemically altered, it was heated, deodorized. | |
| Now we eat virgin coconut oil, and that's been shown in emerging studies to actually reduce the effects on the brain. | |
| In fact, it helps. | |
| Oh, it's kind of like cocaine. | |
| You know, if you give cocaine, it helps you initially. | |
| It's like putting sugar up the nose or insulin up the nose. | |
| The person wakes up for an hour, able to sign their will, and then they go into dementia again. | |
| So that's what it is. | |
| You're learning all the secrets. | |
| You know, it's a little different than cocaine. | |
| Coconut oil actually has some very interesting properties that actually helps the brain function better and actually reduces inflammation. | |
| And in animal studies, now they're finding that virgin coconut oil can actually remove the plaque, the amyloid that gums up the brain in Alzheimer's. | |
| So I'm very hopeful that this is going to play out. | |
| All right. | |
| So let me rule. | |
| I can be the judge here today if you don't mind. | |
| I agree with Dr. Roizen that we ought to limit how much saturated fat we eat. | |
| And coconut oil has a lot, as we showed by pouring it into that big beaker. | |
| I also agree with Dr. Hyman that coconut oil raises the good cholesterol and it appears better than red meat. | |
| So head to head, it would be red meat. | |
| But the brain risk that you're talking about, Dr. Roizen, is concerning. | |
| I did not know about that before, so I'm not quite ready to call it a health food. | |
| But I'm going to say it's okay to eat in moderation. | |
| I want to thank both of you for the spirited debate. | |
| We love each other. | |
| Dr. Royce's book is called Age Proof, Living Longer, Without Running Out of Money or Baking a Hip. | |
| And Dr. Jaiman's A's book is called Eat Fat, Get Thin. | |
| But here's the big question I'll leave you all with. | |
| How much is too much coconut oil? | |
| I'll have the answer when we come back. | |
| What could possess a cheerleader to hire a hitman to kill her father? | |
| All new Oz. | |
| Ahead, no way out. | |
| That's coming up tomorrow. | |
| We just settled a heated coconut oil debate and determined eating it in moderation can be part of a healthy diet. | |
| But how much is too much? | |
| Ashley and her friend Kara are here. | |
| Kara, Kara says her friend abuses, that's her word, coconut oil, putting it on everything from her toast, even mixing it into her morning coffee, maybe putting it in your hair, who knows where else you put it, but we're going to find that out. | |
| Kara, the weirdest way that your friend Ashley has used coconut oil is? | |
| Is, so we went out for drinks, right? | |
| And she has this personal bottle of coconut oil that she takes out of her bag and she put it inside her drink as a chaser. | |
| Ooh. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's a real loyalist. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So why do you love coconut oil? | |
| What is it about it that appeals to you? | |
| Well, I love coconut oil, Dr. Oz, because you can use it with any and everything. | |
| The possibilities are endless. | |
| It's the gift that keeps on giving. | |
| Got that exotic taste to it. | |
| It's good for you. | |
| Great for you. | |
| At least you thought it was good for you until we just talked about it earlier. | |
| Right. | |
| So now we're going to learn about what moderation means. | |
| Come on over. | |
| So actually my team, with Kara's help, tallied up how much coconut oil you eat in a day. | |
| And it came out to six tablespoons. | |
| Sound about right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I thought, how do I bring alive what that really means? | |
| So I compared it to how much you'd have to eat a fast food cheeseburger. | |
| And it's an interesting calculation because this has more saturated fat than 14 fast food cheeseburgers, which is a lot. | |
| So if you're going to choose to eat coconut oil, that might not be the right amount. | |
| Oh, geez. | |
| Now, I'm not even including the chaser you put in your drink, because Kara just told me about that one. | |
| So can I give you some advice on this? | |
| Yes, please. | |
| The correct amount is one tablespoon. | |
| Okay, just one is okay. | |
| Yeah, one. | |
| Hold on. | |
| My goodness. | |
| Okay, sorry. | |
| No wonder Kara loves you so much. | |
| Give me this back a second. | |
| So, you think it's going to be hard to give up five out of the six that you normally eat? | |
| Oh, absolutely. | |
| I love coconut oil. | |
| All right, so I'm glad you came to work today. | |
| Coming over here. | |
| For anybody like Ashley, Kara, some join us, who loves coconut oil but knows you got to cut back a little bit. | |
| I got a little tip for you. | |
| That's a little hack. | |
| You're going to love this. | |
| So, you heat up the coconut oil just a little bit. | |
| See how it's liquidy like that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It turns liquidy to a room temperature, anyway, as you know, sometimes. | |
| But the reason I like this is you can take a teaspoon. | |
| Okay. | |
| Now, a teaspoon is one-third of a tablespoon. | |
| So, you need three teaspoons to get one tablespoon. | |
| So, you can put three of these, scoop them up like this, put them in an ice cube tray, and then put this in the fridge. | |
| That way, it gets nice and hard. | |
| And when you're done doing this, that's all you get for the day. | |
| Just three. | |
| Three, which is these three. | |
| What do you think? | |
| I think that's awesome. | |
| Big improvement from what I'm used to eating. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And it's measured out, and this way Kara's happy with you. | |
| You don't have to take it to the bars. | |
| I don't think it makes sense with mixed drinks anyway. | |
| No, it's embarrassing. | |
| Right, so Kara, this is a gift to you. | |
| Yay! | |
| You can give it to your friend when she needs it. | |
| I don't need it now. | |
| Thank you, Ashley. | |
| Thank you, Dr. Frank. | |
| Don't fight. | |
| Don't fight. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| Kara and Ashley. | |
|
The Waist to Height Ratio
00:14:41
|
|
| Coming up, a brand new way to measure your health that may make your bathroom scale obsolete. | |
| Recently, a group of researchers unleashed a brand new health term on the world, and it was big news. | |
| The term overfat. | |
| And it may not sound very nice, but someday it could replace the terms obese or overweight because it's much more specific to your health than how much you weigh on a scale. | |
| Now, because it was breaking news, I stopped by the Today Show to explain what it is. | |
| And Matt Lauer had some concerns. | |
| I adore Matt, but I stand by what I said. | |
| It's my job to be accurate, and this is one of those ships that I think might save lives. | |
| Here's the best part: all you need to determine whether or not you are overfat is this: a measuring tape. | |
| So I want you to grab a measuring tape from your sewing kit somewhere in your kitchen, somewhere in your home, you got one. | |
| Because in just a few minutes, I'm going to show you how to determine if you are overfat right in your own living room. | |
| But first, what is overfat? | |
| I invited the director at Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and author of Eat Fat, Get Thin, Dr. Mark Hyman here, to help me explain. | |
| Nice to be here. | |
| So, help everyone understand the difference between overfat and obese or overweight. | |
| Is there a difference? | |
| There's a huge difference, Mehmet, because overweight and obese relate to basically something called your body mass index, which is your weight and your height related to. | |
| But the truth is that overfat has to do with how much fat is in your body, not just your total weight. | |
| You can be actually overweight, but actually full of muscle. | |
| Think about football players, weightlifters, they have a big body mass and they're fine. | |
| But other people can be skinny and actually be overfat. | |
| They're not overweight, they're over fat. | |
| And that is quite dangerous, and that leads to all the same complications as being fat, and sometimes it's worse. | |
| Older folks have that problem. | |
| They lose muscle mass. | |
| Young kids have that problem sometime. | |
| You know, they don't have a lot of muscles, it doesn't weigh very much, but they got the fat in their belly. | |
| That's right. | |
| So I understand you and my med team came together, you did a little photographic survey. | |
| That's right. | |
| This is going to be a quiz to help you understand what overfat really looks like. | |
| Take it away. | |
| So think about it. | |
| Everybody, I want you to look at these pictures and you tell me who is overfat. | |
| Is it A, yes, or no? | |
| Is A overfat? | |
| No. | |
| No, okay. | |
| How about B? | |
| Is B overfat? | |
| Yes or no? | |
| Okay. | |
| How about C? | |
| Yes? | |
| Okay, guess what? | |
| All of them are overfat, even the one who's more thin on the left there. | |
| Even A. Even A. | |
| No one in our audience thought was overfat. | |
| No, nobody thought they were fat. | |
| Because you can look skinny, but be fat. | |
| I call this skinny fat or tofy, which is thin on the outside, fat on the inside, not to be confused with tofu. | |
| Yeah, sounds like a cartoon character. | |
| We don't want to be tofy. | |
| No, that's a big problem. | |
| So these women may look good, but if you don't exercise, for example, as a woman, you lose muscle mass and you replace it with fat and your metabolism is slow and you're quite sick. | |
| So you got to use it or lose it. | |
| What kinds of foods cause this overfat syndrome? | |
| So this is pretty straightforward. | |
| We know that the things that drive fat, the belly fat, which is why you measure around your waist, are starchy foods and sugar. | |
| In fact, they drive up insulin, which is the fat storage hormone. | |
| That's a really bad thing. | |
| So let me explain to everybody why I'm really worried about this. | |
| According to the study that I had talked about at the Today Show, 90% of men, 80% of women, and half the kids, 50% of the kids in this country are overfat. | |
| That's a lot of people. | |
| That's just about all of us. | |
| So here's why medical professionals like me are concerned about these stats. | |
| I made a little animation. | |
| Again, we're talking about overfat. | |
| I'm going to help you understand what this means. | |
| We're talking again about the fat in the belly area, not about love handles. | |
| We're talking about fat that goes around your organs. | |
| Let's run this animation. | |
| That fat begins to suffocate those organs inside your belly, producing hormones and inflammation, like Dr. Hyman mentioned, with insulin. | |
| So it does a couple things. | |
| First, it begins to, by those hormones, it irritates your pancreas, so you get diabetes. | |
| It then squeezes your kidneys, making you raise your blood pressure to make up for it. | |
| And then it goes into your liver and it fills the liver, causing something called fatty liver disease. | |
| It also messes with your cholesterol because it's messing with your liver. | |
| And being overfat even affects things like your heart, making it pump harder because of hormonal shifts. | |
| It gets dilated and gets inefficient. | |
| So the question then becomes, is how do you figure out at home right now whether or not you're overfat? | |
| So I'm going to give you the formula. | |
| It's super easy. | |
| It's called the waist to height ratio. | |
| Or I'll call it weather. | |
| No more scales, everybody. | |
| Forget about the scale. | |
| It doesn't accurately reflect what's going on. | |
| It changes with a little bit of extra water weight. | |
| All kinds of things change in morning to night. | |
| This doesn't. | |
| Weather, again, stands for waist to height ratio. | |
| And no woman wants to check her fat. | |
| Who wants to check their fat right now? | |
| Three people, the men. | |
| Women don't. | |
| I get it. | |
| You don't want to. | |
| But we're just going to check the weather right now. | |
| That's our code word together. | |
| The weather. | |
| The formula is simple. | |
| It's two times your waist. | |
| If that is greater than your height, then unfortunately, you're overfat. | |
| This is huge because the average waist for American women is 38 inches. | |
| So 38 inches times 2 is 76 inches. | |
| It's 76 inches. | |
| So if your height is less than 76 inches, you've got a problem. | |
| Say 76 inches, it happens to be 6 feet, 4 inches tall. | |
| So that's not good. | |
| But if you're the average person, it's actually not a bad thing because you could have a waist size of 32 inches, double it, 64 inches. | |
| That means you could be 5'4, which many women are. | |
| That happens to be the average for all of us. | |
| So very achievable. | |
| You know what your goal is. | |
| No one but you knows what the goal is, and we can keep doing this. | |
| Is that clear with everybody? | |
| Okay, so Nisha is here for my audience, and she's volunteered comedy to get her number live on stage. | |
| How are you, Nisha? | |
| So you saw me do the calculation, the weather check over there. | |
| I did. | |
| And you're clear with it? | |
| Yes. | |
| All right, so again, we're going to measure your waist size. | |
| How tall are you? | |
| I'm 5'6 ⁇ . | |
| 5'6 ⁇ . | |
| Okay, so 5 times 12 is 60. | |
| Plus 6 is 66 inches. | |
| Got it. | |
| So if you divide that in half, it's 33 inches. | |
| Are you all with me? | |
| All right. | |
| So your waist side needs to be less than 33 inches. | |
| And again, I'm not judging at all. | |
| This is the weather. | |
| It is what it is. | |
| Let's check the weather. | |
| Check the weather. | |
| So why is it important for you to figure this out? | |
| Well, I've always had an ideal number in my head of what I should weigh. | |
| Now I'm curious to find out if that's the right number for my height. | |
| So your belly buttons are where? | |
| About here? | |
| Right here. | |
| Oh, down lower. | |
| Yes. | |
| Got to do it yourself. | |
| You got to do it right. | |
| Don't trust anybody. | |
| And men especially, because men cheat with their belts. | |
| Men never buy new belt sizes. | |
| They just slide it down. | |
| You all see that, right? | |
| You slide it down like this. | |
| You're going like this. | |
| You got to measure it. | |
| So, belly button. | |
| Okay? | |
| And you can suck in, suck in, suck in, suck in. | |
| All right, and you're, so interesting, you're about 34. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| Right? | |
| So you're not far. | |
| Maybe you're 33 and a half even. | |
| Okay. | |
| So is that okay? | |
| Well, it's a little bit over what you want. | |
| Okay, right? | |
| Because you want it to be 33, which is half your height, and you're actually 33 and a half, closer to 34. | |
| All right. | |
| But that's close. | |
| Okay. | |
| And because the weather changes all the time, all you got to do is dunt yourself a little bit in the right direction. | |
| Yes. | |
| The question is, how do you do that? | |
| How do we? | |
| So for you, Nisha, for everyone out there who just took this test, discovered that you are overfat, which most of us are, stay with us because this is a reversible problem. | |
| Dr. Hyman has five steps to reduce your belly fat today. | |
| Be right back with that. | |
| Say goodbye to the rye meatloaf with other secret ingredients you have never thought about. | |
| The meatiest meatloaf ever. | |
| Oh, new Oz. | |
| That's coming up on Wednesday. | |
| All right, now I'm going to measure your weight. | |
| All right. | |
| Yeah, fine. | |
| Okay, so 39. | |
| All right. | |
| All right. | |
| Okay, so that's about, there we have 67 as your height. | |
| So for the weather measurement, that's the weight height ratio. | |
| We're going to multiply your weight times two. | |
| That's 78. | |
| And then you want to compare that to your height, which is 67. | |
| So in this case, it's just a slightly higher than the height. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So for all of you in the audience, who you know who you are, and those at home who fell into the overfat range, don't worry. | |
| I'll be real clear about this. | |
| Beauty is one thing, weight's another thing. | |
| Health, that's a whole separate issue. | |
| We're focused on health. | |
| And that's what we learned a lot. | |
| I don't want you all worrying about this. | |
| It's easy to fix because Dr. Hyman's here with a 30-day overfat plan. | |
| If you can start today to reduce your belly fat, Nisha, you're going to start this plan today. | |
| You excited about this? | |
| Maybe Monday. | |
| Monday. | |
| How do you feel about making these changes? | |
| I'm excited because it's something that I've been trying to do for a while, but I didn't know how to. | |
| So, Dr. Hyman, you're really good at making this easy to do. | |
| The first step you're telling us is to cut out the sugar in our lives. | |
| Yes, we eat a lot of it. | |
| We eat about 133 pounds of flour and about 152 pounds of sugar. | |
| And flour and sugar are just about the same in your body. | |
| 152 pounds of sugar a year? | |
| That's right. | |
| I mean, I don't eat that much. | |
| Some of you might eat a lot more. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I might do. | |
| Well, I mean, that's probably, that's probably what we weigh, I guess. | |
| That's like a pharmacologic dose of these toxic substances that cause the belly fat. | |
| They cause the overfat. | |
| So you really want to cut rid of those, get rid of those things. | |
| The question is, how easy it to do that? | |
| Not always so easy, but we're going to start with some honesty here. | |
| These are Nisha's hidden sugar pitfalls, according to you. | |
| Yes. | |
| Number one is breakfast, sugary cereals. | |
| Number two, snacks, jelly beans. | |
| You like jelly beans? | |
| I do. | |
| And candy. | |
| I won't ask what kind. | |
| And three, desserts. | |
| You love cheesecake, which I love too. | |
| It's hard to give that up. | |
| It's a must after dinner. | |
| So where do you start? | |
| The must after dinner, the jelly beans you love, or the sugary cereals. | |
| What would you cut out first? | |
| Totally or just for like a week? | |
| No, for 30 days. | |
| For 30. | |
| You can cut one of those out for 30 days. | |
| I can possibly do the candy. | |
| The candy. | |
| I'll do the candy. | |
| That's a tough negotiator. | |
| That's right. | |
| Come on over here. | |
| Now, the good news is most of Dr. Hyman's plan is about things you can put in your diet. | |
| And I love the fact that you've organized these things by times of the day. | |
| So we're going to start off first thing in the morning when you get up. | |
| You're going to ask us to have a healthy fat. | |
| So you had sugary cereals. | |
| I want you to consider maybe replacing that with one of these options. | |
| And what kind specifically do you need? | |
| I mean, most breakfasts in America, it should be called dessert. | |
| Muffins, bagels, cereals. | |
| I mean, I call myself a cereal killer because it's 75% sugar. | |
| Cereal killer. | |
| That's terrible. | |
| But the good news is, if you eat fat in the morning, you actually speed up your metabolism. | |
| So there's a lot of options for fat. | |
| The first is, if you have a protein shaker coffee, you can add MCT oil, which is derived from coconut oil, that speeds up your metabolism. | |
| It cuts your hunger because it produces ketones. | |
| And it also helps your brain and stay more clear. | |
| It's really powerful. | |
| And people who use it actually help lose weight. | |
| It helps prevent belly fat. | |
| It's really powerful. | |
| Have you heard of bulletproof coffee? | |
| I haven't. | |
| Well, now you have. | |
| That's what this is. | |
| You got to add a little butter in there and mix it up. | |
| A little butter too, I guess. | |
| But while you're tasting this, walk us through the other. | |
| So the other thing is, you've got to add stuff to your breakfast. | |
| You can add nuts and you can add seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds. | |
| You can have grass-fat steak in the morning. | |
| You can have basically dinner for breakfast. | |
| Avocados are a great source of fat. | |
| So which of these would you consider replacing sugary cereal with? | |
| The almonds. | |
| The almonds. | |
| You're a tough customer. | |
| You're right. | |
| We'll start there. | |
| The coffee you didn't like, I guess. | |
| I'm not really a coffee drinker. | |
| That's fine. | |
| So that's why I chose off. | |
| He gave you six different options. | |
| It's okay, but that's fine. | |
| You have lots of options. | |
| You pick which makes sense. | |
| And maybe you don't give up sugary cereal day one. | |
| And I will come back to that in a second. | |
| Second step, a fiber-rich prebiotic. | |
| You've heard of probiotics. | |
| Yes. | |
| These are prebiotic foods. | |
| And this is going to be part of your lunch. | |
| Dr. Hyman, walk us through it. | |
| So the good news is that there's foods you can eat that have a special fertilizer for healthy bacteria called prebiotics, like a probiotic, but it's a prebiotic. | |
| That includes artichokes, which are fabulous. | |
| Okay. | |
| Plantains, which are green bananas. | |
| You can kind of cook them up on the stove. | |
| Asparagus and lentils are all great sources of fiber and prebiotics, which helps slow your uptake of the food, helps fertilize your good bugs, and helps you lose weight. | |
| Now, can I have this fried? | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Yes, you can cook this. | |
| Yeah, I don't know. | |
| I don't fried artichokes. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Fried artichoke. | |
| Stir-fry. | |
| You can stir it. | |
| You're stirring fry. | |
| Come on over here. | |
| Okay, this is a big deal. | |
| And I actually thought Dr. Hyman, because he can be pretty strong. | |
| Look at him. | |
| He looks baby-faced now. | |
| I want people to be healthy. | |
| He's a serial killer, like he said. | |
| So he wants you to set a carb window to cut down on mindless carb loading in the afternoon. | |
| Yeah. | |
| With your snack habit of candy and belly beans, this is a big deal. | |
| So 2 o'clock in the afternoon, set yourself a little clock there. | |
| You have it for lunch. | |
| After that, you're done. | |
| The jelly beans, you've got to have them before 2 o'clock. | |
| You're giving them up anyway, you told me, but you're going to have them before 2. | |
| Okay. | |
| And then the last part about this may be for you a bit more challenging. | |
| You're going to have to go dry for this one month. | |
| Dr. Hyman, why is this so important? | |
| I mean, wine is supposed to be good for us. | |
| I mean, a little bit is good. | |
| A little more may be bad. | |
| And wine, actually, and alcohol in general is basically another form of sugar. | |
| And it gets absorbed, it goes to your liver, it can create fatty liver, create inflammation in the body, all of which make you hold on to weight. | |
| So it's fine intermittently, but not as a regular two-glass a night habit. | |
| And the more you drink, the worse you are. | |
| So I did a little math. | |
| Two glasses of wine, which I'm assuming you enjoy wine once in a while. | |
| I do. | |
| So two glasses of wine a day. | |
| Do the math. | |
| It's 72,000 extra calories a year. | |
| Wow. | |
| That translates to about 20 pounds of extra fat. | |
| This is 20 pounds of fat. | |
| This equals to this. | |
| Yes, this is this. | |
| Wow, that's exactly what you're doing. | |
| If you have two glasses every night. | |
| So hopefully you wouldn't do that every night, but this is roughly what we're asking you to give up. | |
| I think to lose 20 pounds. | |
| You wouldn't mind. | |
| So for the month, you get a 12th of that benefit. | |
| It makes it much easier to win this battle and put you in the place you want to be. | |
| Thank you for being here. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| Thanks for your questions. | |
| Mark, wonderful, as always. | |
| We're putting the full plan, including the weather formula. | |
| Remember, it's about weather, waist, height, ratio, the weather formula to measure your waist and bonus tips as well as a core workout that will blast away any belly fat at Dr.Oz.com. | |
| It's going to be on my app as well. | |
| I want you to take your measurements today and then remeasure them after 30 days, evaluate where you are and tell me how it went. | |

|
|
| Plus tell your friends to do the same. | |
| In fact, measure them. | |
| Sort of embarrass them a little bit. | |
| It's good for them. | |
| Builds character. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| And now, True Crime Thursdays. | |
| cases on Dr. Oz. | |
| Whether you care for an aging parent, a child, friend, or spouse, in today's world, we put our heart and soul into caring for others. | |
| So much so that we don't always take the time to care for ourselves. | |
| But that, my friends, ends right this minute. | |
| If you're one of the nearly 40 million caretakers in America or a parent juggling the demands of a family, today's time for you to be cared for. | |
| So sit back and relax. | |
| I'm about to give you your new 20-minute self-care staple with what's behind me right there. | |
| And I've enlisted the help of integrated physician Dr. Tasneen Bhattia, who's here on behalf of our trusted sponsorship partner, Dr. Thiel. | |
| Glad to hear you back. | |
| I'm passionate about self-care, but I don't think people appreciate how important it is. | |
| It is so important, Dr. Oz. | |
| Millions of Americans take care of somebody else, whether it's children, parents, or it's their profession. | |
| It's physically and emotionally exhausting, and it can actually put your own health at risk. | |
| You know, one of the things we know is that when you take care of yourself and your own needs, you're going to do a better job for everybody else around you, and everyone will benefit the people you take care of and the people in your life. | |
| And I know this firsthand because I juggle every day the role of being a doctor and a mom and a wife and trying to keep the pieces together. | |
| So let's take you an example. | |
| How do you give someone a concrete action step that lets them just carve out the 20 minutes they need? | |
| What do you recommend? | |
| So again, the fundamentals of self-care are not going to change. | |
| We have to exercise, we have to sleep, we have to eat a well-balanced diet. | |
| But again, I tell my patients that even for me, we have to have a simple home care strategy that we can do anywhere. | |
| And so something like a 20-minute Dr. Thiel's Epsom salt bath is a great solution because not only does it sort of relax tired, achy muscles, it forces you to quiet your mind and let go of an emotionally exhausting and depleting day. | |
| And the best part of all of it, it can be done anywhere. | |
| It's not something you have to make an appointment for. | |
| You can do it at home. | |
| It's easy to do. | |
| And just relax and let the day go away. | |
| I've been very public with my fandom for Epsom salts, but for folks who may not know what they are, why are they so important? | |
| Why do people that know often love them like I do? | |
| Well, I want everyone to love Epsom salts. | |
| Epsom salts are a compound of magnesium sulfate, and it's a great natural alternative to over-the-counter or prescription medications or drugs. | |
| Really, Epsom salts are helping to kind of relax the body. | |
| And a 20-minute Dr. Thiel's Epsom salt has a triple benefit. | |
| It helps the relaxation of just taking a bath. | |
| That's a ritual that's amazing in itself. | |
| The magnesium that relaxes the body. | |
| And then with the Dr. Thiel's products, we have the essential oils like lavender, spearmint, or eucalyptus, which have additional mind-body benefits. | |
| You can't lose with this one. | |
| Yeah, it's a party in a bag. | |
| Come over here. | |
| Our bathroom smells like that all the time for those reasons. | |
| So show us how to properly make an Epsom salt bath. | |
| Sure. | |
| So it's simple. | |
| First of all, you want to check the temperature of your bath water. | |
| You want it to be warm but not hot. | |
| So right around 90 degrees or so. | |
| And then we take two cups of Epsom salts, pour it directly in, and then you can stir it, mix it for a little bit, and then go ahead and jump in and soak. | |
| And we usually recommend soaking. | |
| You can already smell it. | |
| We usually recommend soaking twice a week for about 20 minutes at a time. | |
| But once you're in here, you're going to feel that relaxation benefit within about five to ten minutes. | |
| And if you do it before bedtime, it's also going to help you asleep. | |
| It's the best for that. | |
| I love the way it makes your skin feel as well. | |
| So here's the thing. | |
| Who better? | |
| Who better to try a Dr. Thiel's Epsom salt bath than the hardest working caregivers that I know? | |
| They are the nurses of America. | |
| And many of them are in my studio audience today. | |
| I stole them from work. | |
| Now, before the show, I asked some of them to give it a test run while on break back at the hospital. | |
| Take a look. | |
| Hi, Dr. Ross. | |
| Hi, Dr. Ross. | |
| Thanks for allowing us to use Dr. Thiel's Epsom salt today. | |
| It's been a very, very long day, and now we're just trying to relax. | |
| It's a great way to do it. | |
| So, Dr. Taz and I are going to join you all here. | |
| I'm getting my socks off. | |
| So, Kate, you're on your feet all day long. | |
| Nurses always are. | |
| Running 100 miles an hour. | |
| So, how have these Epsom salt baths work for you so far? | |
| Actually, it's helping soothe and relax my feet. | |
| When I actually do take a bath, it relaxes my muscles. | |
| And the aroma of the lavender that I actually use just decreases my anxiety. | |
| It's actually perfect. | |
| Lavender is pretty powerful. | |
| These scents, you can't ignore them. | |
| The aromatherapies used in other parts of the world. | |
| We somehow forget about it. | |
| Although in the hospitals now, we're starting to make the room smell differently. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because it helps our patients. | |
| So, what kind of a difference have you noticed so far? | |
| I notice your feet swimming in there. | |
| Actually, my feet feel very, very soft right now. | |
| But I do feel, I actually do feel that my, it's a different feeling. | |
| It's the tension. | |
| I actually do feel the tension leaving my body. | |
| And after a long shift, when I do take a bath, I definitely feel so much more relaxed. | |
| Do the doctors ever massage you like this too? | |
| No. | |
| Those doctors are doctors. | |
| So, Jen, how does putting your feet in the Epsom salt bath help you? | |
| Oh, not only it feels more relaxing, but I feel like after a long shift, not only dealing with patients, but also dealing with the everyday home life, rushing around, it helps reduce my anxiety and just gives me a better attitude so that I can deal with the family and deal with stresses in the everyday field of nursing as well. | |
| So, I love the foot bath, but I really like just getting in the tub with Epsom salt. | |
| Would you make the time to do that now that you've experienced just your feet? | |
| Yes, absolutely. | |
| It's very easy to do. | |
| You need the time to take for yourself, and a lot of times, women don't do that enough. | |
| So, not only as women, as moms, but also as nurses, we're always so busy taking care of other people that we need to give ourselves more time to take care of ourselves. | |
| Did all the nurses here commit to twice a week, right? | |

| Now it'll take Dr. Tasli Bakia and our trusted sponsorship partner, Dr. Thiel, for that great gift. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| Enjoy it! | |
| Say goodbye to Dried Meatloaf with other secret ingredients you have never thought about. | |
| The meatiest meatloaf ever. | |
| Oh, new Oz. | |
| That's coming up on Wednesday. | |
| Back with something to feel real good about. | |
| Have you ever noticed that sometimes when life throws you an unimaginable challenge, it also sends a dose of hope along with it? | |
| That's exactly what my next guest, Courtney Walden, says happened for her. | |
| When I saw her story in People, I knew we had to share it. | |
| So please take a look. | |
| Courtney and her husband were celebrating their two-month wedding anniversary. | |
| She had just tucked in her four-year-old daughter, Caroline, and was outside while her husband grilled. | |
| Courtney woke up in the hospital, virtually a new person, with drastic burns altering her face. | |
| She spent 51 difficult days in the hospital undergoing skin grafts and laser treatments. | |
| The one person that got her through it all was her daughter Caroline. | |
| But not Courtney's husband. | |
| Two weeks after she came home, he left her. | |
| Courtney's parents, though, have been amazingly supportive, as has the local community. | |
| They've kicked in big time and are building a new home for Courtney and Caroline. | |
| Courtney's goal now is to help everyone who's been through anything traumatic. | |
| No little surprise with help from the team at WSBTV2 Atlanta. | |
| Courtney is joining us live via satellite from Georgia with her mom Karen and her daughter Caroline. | |
| We'll take a short break and chat with them when we come back. | |
| What could possess a cheerleader to hire a hitman to kill her father? | |
| All new Oz. | |
| I had no way out. | |
| That's coming up tomorrow. | |
| Courtney woke up in the hospital virtually a new person with drastic burns altering her face. | |
| The one person that got her through it all was her daughter Caroline. | |
| And now the local community has kicked in big time. | |
| They're building a new home for Courtney and Caroline. | |
| We are back with Courtney, her mom Karen, and her daughter Caroline. | |
| They are in front of that new home. | |
| And so, Courtney, if I can let me start with you with all the skin grafts and thank you for being here and the latest treatments that you have been going through. | |
| How are you feeling? | |
| I am feeling wonderful. | |
| You know, after all the skin grafts and everything I've had, it's just in going to physical therapy, it's just helped my mobility so much. | |
| God has blessed me tremendously and I'm feeling great and glad to be alive. | |
| Karen, what's it been like watching your daughter recover physically and emotionally? | |
| This has been the most unforgettable year I could ever imagine. | |
| I mean, it was so hard to see my child go through all Courtney has been through. | |
| It's been horrible pain and a lot of horrible recovery, but she's made it and I'm so proud of her and all that she's been through and the inspiration she is for so many people. | |
| I couldn't be proud. | |
| How does it feel to have everyone come together to build that lovely house I can see behind you in Georgia? | |
| Oh my goodness, that's just an amazing, remarkable experience. | |
| You know, I never once thought or dreamed that everybody would just come together and build me and my daughter this beautiful house. | |
| I am just so humbled and grateful for it. | |
| And I cannot tell everybody thank you enough because it took everybody. | |
| Well I think it goes to show there are lots of good people out there in the world. | |
| You know what? | |
| They're even more good people than you can imagine. | |
| People who want to do something nice for you. | |
| So your sister's going to hand you something now. | |
| It's a little gift from Overstock.com. | |
| They heard about your story and they wanted you to have this $5,000 gift card to furnish that new house of yours. | |
| Go ahead, Lindsay, hand her the card. | |
| Oh, that's okay. | |
| Oh, that's okay. | |
| I lost my earpiece. | |
| Oh my goodness. | |
| Thank y'all so much. | |
| You're going to sock it perfectly. | |
| Oh, that is amazing. | |
| Thank y'all so much. | |
| Caroline, tell them thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| That's lots and lots of all your dolls. | |
| You know, Caroline doesn't seem as happy about the check. | |
| Thank you. | |
| I think Caroline needs something more than just a cardboard check. | |
| So we got some friends over there. | |
| They're driving up in a truck right now. | |
| My friends over at Mighty Swings Play Systems want you to have an amazing swing set. | |
| You can play in your brand new backyard. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Wow. | |
| So, Courtney, playground. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Well, they unload the swing set, Courtney. | |
| How's the furniture and that swing set going to help you and your daughter, Caroline, start over? | |
| Yes, thank you so much. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| I can't tell y'all, thank you enough. | |
| Thank you so much for the riding along. | |
| Well, God bless y'all. | |
| I'm very proud of you. | |
| I just want to cry right now, but it'll be ugly. | |
| Wow. | |
| Oh, gosh. | |
| There went my earpiece again. | |
| We are blown away, Dr. Island. | |
| Yes, we are. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Lots of kisses from here. | |
| God bless y'all. | |
| Have a good time. | |
