=== Decoding Your Dreams (13:02) ===

[00:00:03]  Decode your dreams.
[00:00:05]  Whether you're naked in a crowd, chased by a stranger, or falling down a hole.
[00:00:14]  See what dreams can tell you about your health.
[00:00:16]  And if your to-do list has you running out of steam, watch this.
[00:00:21]  See how to get twice as much done and feel half as tired.
[00:00:25]  Coming up next.
[00:00:32]  Are you ready to say some lies today?
[00:00:39]  I love you, Dakar.
[00:00:50]  Think about this.
[00:00:51]  Think about this.
[00:00:51]  We spend nearly one third of our lives asleep.
[00:00:55]  And in those hours, we're living an entire second life in our dreams.
[00:01:00]  But what really goes on inside our brains at night?
[00:01:03]  And what are those dreams trying to tell us?
[00:01:06]  Let's start with the science behind why we dream.
[00:01:08]  My go to, Renata, is breaking it down.
[00:01:12]  No, it's not sleeping beauty.
[00:01:14]  It's me, Renata, here to explain the three scientific theories behind why we dream.
[00:01:21]  Number one, some scientists say dreams are just a chain reaction of random electrical impulses that take place when we're asleep.
[00:01:30]  Number two, others believe dreaming is part of our memory consolidation process, like a giant file cabinet in our head getting organized nightly.
[00:01:40]  Number three, but more and more scientists are starting to see dreams as a big old therapy session happening in our heads while we sleep.
[00:01:50]  So, like I was saying, Doc.
[00:01:52]  Where we try to work out the complicated problems we just don't have time for during the day.
[00:01:58]  And when I dream, I'm always naked.
[00:02:01]  What's that about, Dr. Oz?
[00:02:05]  I don't know about that naked stuff, but we got psychologist Dr. Jennifer Harstein here to hack into some of the most common dreams people have, revealing what they mean and what they can tell you about your health.
[00:02:15]  So you say that dreams can actually offer a window into what's happening inside of our bodies.
[00:02:19]  Absolutely.
[00:02:20]  It's a time at night when we're dreaming.
[00:02:22]  That we're kind of living out the emotions or experiences that we really can't handle during the day.
[00:02:28]  Maybe they're just too overwhelming.
[00:02:29]  So, oftentimes we kind of blow them off, but we don't want to disregard them.
[00:02:32]  We want to kind of pay attention to what they're telling us because it's our body and our mind's way of working out some things that maybe we just can't do on our own.
[00:02:38]  And there's something going on with dreams.
[00:02:39]  Evolution would have gotten rid of that otherwise.
[00:02:41]  There has to be some value.
[00:02:42]  We spend too much time asleep and too much time dreaming.
[00:02:44]  So, today we've created a dream pod, which will bring our audience's dreams to life.
[00:02:50]  So, we're going to meet our first dreamer.
[00:02:52]  Her name is Brooke.
[00:02:54]  So, I have this dream that starts with me in the shower getting ready for work in the morning.
[00:02:59]  It's still dark out, and when I get in the car, I'm still tired.
[00:03:03]  I'm driving, and out of nowhere, the car starts going faster, and I'm in this strange long series of tunnels.
[00:03:10]  All of a sudden, it's like someone switched on the lights, and it's super bright out.
[00:03:14]  The car keeps getting faster and faster, and I can't control it, even though my hands are still on the steering wheel.
[00:03:21]  And I never end up at a destination.
[00:03:23]  and I usually wake up super confused just trying to remember where I was headed.
[00:03:30]  Brooke, come and join us before you have an accident.
[00:03:33]  Driving out of control.
[00:03:35]  How are you?
[00:03:36]  Hi.
[00:03:38]  She's sweaty.
[00:03:39]  I'm cold, clammy hands.
[00:03:41]  From the dream.
[00:03:42]  From, oh, it's exhausting.
[00:03:43]  So, what does it mean?
[00:03:44]  Just interpret it at a high level.
[00:03:45]  So, the first thing we want to think about is you're in a car, right?
[00:03:48]  And it's literally you're in the driver's seat, and it kind of can signify the drive that you have, right?
[00:03:52]  So, what's your motivation?
[00:03:54]  What are you trying to work towards?
[00:03:56]  But then it's out of control.
[00:03:57]  So, even though you're working towards something, it's kind of outside of your control, and it's just taking you all over the place.
[00:04:02]  Place and all of that can create some worries and anxieties and feelings of being overwhelmed.
[00:04:06]  So, is there a part of your life where you feel like you're out of control, where your drive, your ambition is taking you into little gutters here and there?
[00:04:14]  Yeah, so I'm turning 25 and I'm in this quarter life crisis, which I'm sure a lot of people go through.
[00:04:21]  And I'm in between jobs right now, so I'm at home living with mom and dad, my roomies.
[00:04:28]  They're roomies?
[00:04:29]  My rent.
[00:04:30]  They're my roomies.
[00:04:31]  My kids call me roomies, you think?
[00:04:33]  Totally.
[00:04:33]  Totally.
[00:04:34]  Absolutely.
[00:04:34]  Well, but it makes sense then that you're having dreams where you're feeling like your life is out of control.
[00:04:38]  First of all, you're back in your parents' house.
[00:04:40]  You're not really in your own control, there's their rules and their expectations, so you're back there.
[00:04:45]  As you pointed out, quarter life crisis, what direction are you going in?
[00:04:49]  So the best thing you can do is kind of sit down with yourself, really start to figure out what that long term goal might be for yourself, identify what the first step is to get to that goal, and go for it.
[00:04:58]  And then you might, you know, be back in control of the car.
[00:05:02]  Good luck.
[00:05:02]  Thank you.
[00:05:02]  It's helpful to know it anyway.
[00:05:04]  It is.
[00:05:04]  It is.
[00:05:05]  Next up, I got a dream pod.
[00:05:07]  With Adrienne.
[00:05:08]  She's got an interesting dream.
[00:05:11]  So I have this dream that my man is cheating.
[00:05:15]  It starts off with us at a party where we know a lot of people and everyone's hanging out and having fun.
[00:05:21]  But then he gets up.
[00:05:22]  He walks away down this long hallway and says, He'll be back.
[00:05:28]  I go looking for him.
[00:05:29]  I come to this room where everybody is dancing and the music is super loud.
[00:05:35]  I feel like I'm in slow motion and I can't find him.
[00:05:38]  Suddenly, I'm in a hallway, almost like a hotel, searching and knocking on all the doors because in my mind he's behind one of them with another woman.
[00:05:51]  When I wake up, I'm mad, even though he's done nothing wrong.
[00:06:00]  Andrew, come join us.
[00:06:01]  He is in trouble, in trouble.
[00:06:05]  I've heard of dreams like that when I awaken.
[00:06:08]  So, what does a cheating partner dream mean?
[00:06:10]  They're so common.
[00:06:11]  They are so common.
[00:06:11]  And very often, it's really pretty simple, right?
[00:06:14]  We kind of put it into this adultery phase, but it's like you're not connecting with your partner.
[00:06:19]  So, somehow, you kind of create in your mind that something else must be going on.
[00:06:22]  When really, it's about finding a way to reconnect or feeling like you're not kind of making that a priority in your life.
[00:06:29]  Is that an issue?
[00:06:29]  I mean, it's a little private to talk about, right?
[00:06:31]  You feel like you're not reconnecting the way you need to?
[00:06:34]  Kind of.
[00:06:34]  It was a little scary.
[00:06:36]  Like, are you in my home?
[00:06:38]  Sometimes.
[00:06:39]  Actually, you want to know something, something amazing is about to happen.
[00:06:42]  We're engaged now.
[00:06:43]  Congratulations.
[00:06:44]  Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.
[00:06:46]  And you would think, with that major connection, right?
[00:06:49]  No, I'm putting so much focus into the wedding.
[00:06:52]  And it's becoming its own production, and also the reality of this is about to happen is starting to sink in.
[00:06:59]  Absolutely.
[00:07:00]  And I think there's a couple things you bring up that's really important.
[00:07:02]  First, we forget when we're planning a wedding what the reason is.
[00:07:06]  We're getting married for, and it's about you and your partner and really building a life together.
[00:07:11]  So, you've got to go back to the simplicity of that and remember that slow it down a little bit.
[00:07:16]  Just to step in there and defend this man that you're about to marry.
[00:07:19]  So, I mean, is it possible to wake up mad at somebody, even though you know it's a dream?
[00:07:24]  You sort of get up on the wrong side of the bed?
[00:07:26]  Yes, it's 100% you can wake up mad at somebody.
[00:07:28]  It's like you fought these emotions the whole night in your dream, right?
[00:07:32]  I've experienced this personally.
[00:07:34]  I thought she was making it up for many years, but after 33 years of marriage, I'm sure my wife is actually mad at me.
[00:07:39]  And she harbors that, it takes you a while to work out of it.
[00:07:41]  So you can get in this double indemnity.
[00:07:43]  You get blamed for what you may have done, and you get blamed because they dreamt you did something.
[00:07:46]  Oh, yeah.
[00:07:46]  No matter what, you're in trouble.
[00:07:47]  Oh, yeah, you're in trouble.
[00:07:48]  All right.
[00:07:49]  So you just got to be nice and good and give in all the time.
[00:07:51]  I always am.
[00:07:52]  Okay, just checking.
[00:07:53]  Up next, meet a woman who is so frightened by her recurring dreams she's afraid to go to bed.
[00:07:58]  We'll be right back.
[00:08:02]  Your beauty salon may be making you sick.
[00:08:05]  Toxic hair treatments are the new secondhand smoke.
[00:08:09]  How the fumes can affect your health.
[00:08:12]  Plus, you may think your home is burglar-proof.
[00:08:15]  Whose house is that?
[00:08:16]  Oh my goodness.
[00:08:17]  See what happens when we break into her home.
[00:08:20]  So the window's open.
[00:08:21]  It's just the screen.
[00:08:22]  It's like an invitation.
[00:08:23]  And how to safeguard your own.
[00:08:26]  All nuance.
[00:08:28]  That's coming up tomorrow.
[00:08:37]  I'm here with Dr. Jennifer Arstein and we're hacking into some of your most common dreams to find out what your brain is really trying to tell you.
[00:08:43]  Now, we've created a dream pod in our studio and it's time to meet our next dreamer, Sarah.
[00:08:48]  Now, she says she's so upset by a recurring dream that she's sometimes afraid to go to sleep.
[00:08:54]  I have this dream where I'm in a magical looking forest and it's very peaceful.
[00:09:00]  Wow, at first.
[00:09:02]  And then something approaches me, but I can't tell if it's a person or an animal.
[00:09:08]  And it begins to chase me.
[00:09:11]  So I run, I'm running really fast.
[00:09:14]  And I get tired.
[00:09:15]  And it seems that it's not easy anymore to run.
[00:09:19]  Then, out of nowhere, it begins to rain, like really, really hard, thundering and lightning.
[00:09:27]  I suddenly come to the edge of a cliff, but can't stop in time.
[00:09:31]  And I fall, I fall deep into darkness.
[00:09:33]  And as I'm falling, I can feel it in my whole entire body.
[00:09:38]  I wake up scared, like a panic attack, my heart is racing.
[00:09:43]  And sometimes I'm even full of sweat.
[00:09:45]  It's just not a good place to be.
[00:09:52]  I have some dream.
[00:09:54]  Before Dr. Harsin tells you what this means, I want to show you what actually happens in your brain.
[00:09:58]  If you don't mind, come on over here.
[00:10:00]  So just a little less petrified next time.
[00:10:02]  Okay.
[00:10:03]  Let's examine what's really going down.
[00:10:04]  So when we go to sleep at night, a couple of things happen.
[00:10:07]  First of all, your brain's wide awake, right?
[00:10:09]  And communications normally will go down to your leg before you fall asleep, and you can move things around.
[00:10:13]  Thankfully, that's what we got to do to live.
[00:10:14]  But when you go into this deep, dreamy sleep, You actually turn on this thing called the pons, the bottom of the brain, and it blocks all the messages from the brain to our muscles, so our muscles can't move, which is a good thing because we'd act out our dreams otherwise.
[00:10:27]  However, at the same time, other parts of the brain, like this is the prefrontal cortex, right behind your eyes, this part's turned off, which is a good thing, and then your eyes begin to move and flitter.
[00:10:36]  That's why we call it rapid eye movement or REM sleep.
[00:10:40]  Now, I pointed out that some of the brain's turned on and some of it's turned off for an important reason.
[00:10:44]  While you're paralyzed and can't move, at the same time, the part of your brain that's rational gets turned off.
[00:10:50]  So your dreams aren't rational.
[00:10:52]  And that's one of the reasons that as you first try to interpret them, they're so confusing.
[00:10:56]  Which is why Dr. Hartstein's advice is valuable because we've got to figure out what went down that forest.
[00:11:01]  So grab a seat.
[00:11:02]  Thank you.
[00:11:03]  And in theory, the silver lining is that the dreams are going to help you process some stress you're not coping with.
[00:11:08]  But Dr. Hartstein, this specific dream, in a forest, something's coming at you, you don't know what it is.
[00:11:12]  Right.
[00:11:12]  So there's two very common themes.
[00:11:14]  In your dream, right?
[00:11:15]  The chasing and the falling.
[00:11:17]  So, when we're thinking about the chasing, a lot of that has to do with maybe there's some sort of anxiety or some sort of trouble going on in your life that you're just not facing.
[00:11:26]  And you're not just kind of stopping and turning around and being like, hold up, let me handle it.
[00:11:29]  So, we're avoiding it in our day to day, and it's catching up with us in our nighttime dreams, right?
[00:11:34]  So, that's one thing we really need to think about.
[00:11:36]  And the falling piece of things is really also about some of that anxiety, losing that control, feeling maybe like you can't handle it, or maybe you're inadequate.
[00:11:44]  So, you're kind of letting go and you can't kind of face that reality.
[00:11:49]  And so, both those things together make it really challenging.
[00:11:52]  The one thing to think about in response to what you're talking about, how our body shuts down, is we do have what's called myclonic jerks when we sleep.
[00:11:59]  And that's where our body muscle, like our muscle spasm in our hands and our feet.
[00:12:04]  You see it in dogs a lot, or you might see it if you're sleeping in bed with someone else where they jerk and they switch.
[00:12:09]  And sometimes that's the thing that kind of arouses us and makes us wake up.
[00:12:12]  But it is a myth.
[00:12:14]  You actually can see yourself fall and hit the ground and you will not die.
[00:12:17]  Is there an anxiety event in your life right now?
[00:12:20]  Yes.
[00:12:21]  I have a really big family.
[00:12:22]  And everybody comes to me for help.
[00:12:24]  So, over that is.
[00:12:26]  So, how do you put those pieces together?
[00:12:27]  So, there's clearly a reason to be anxious.
[00:12:29]  Sure.
[00:12:29]  Your brain's trying to process it.
[00:12:31]  So, your brain's trying to process all this anxiety of just keeping your life together, helping everybody else out, and feeling inadequate because can you help everybody else out?
[00:12:39]  And the person that's getting lost in all of this is you.
[00:12:42]  Yeah.
[00:12:42]  Right?
[00:12:42]  And so, it's really important that you figure out how to one day a week, two days a week, make yourself a priority, put yourself first, learn how to say no if you need to say no, which is so hard.
[00:12:54]  But, you know, people will tolerate disappointment.
[00:12:57]  You've just got to be able to handle that and take care of yourself because you're no good to them if you're no good to yourself.
[00:13:01]  So we've got to focus on that too.
[00:13:03]  Thank you.
[00:13:04]  I hope that's helpful.

=== Priorities Over Time (04:09) ===

[00:13:05]  Yes, thank you so much.
[00:13:06]  So, not everyone remembers what they dream, but many want to.
[00:13:09]  You just heard today there's lots you can do if you know what your brain is trying to tell you.
[00:13:13]  So, here's a technique you might want to try.
[00:13:14]  I've used this myself, it really does seem to be impactful.
[00:13:17]  Everyone, just do it with me right now.
[00:13:19]  Close your eyes.
[00:13:20]  If you're at home, please close your eyes unless you're driving.
[00:13:23]  In the morning, when your alarm goes off, I want you to keep those eyes closed.
[00:13:26]  Because if you open your eyes, there's too much information flooding into your brain.
[00:13:30]  Erases your dreams possibly.
[00:13:31]  So, tomorrow morning when that alarm goes off, stay focused, close your eyes, and repeat your dreams out loud so you can better remember them.
[00:13:39]  Simple, easy little technique, but it's powerful.
[00:13:42]  Try it and see if it works.
[00:13:42]  And if it does, then interpret it and use some of Dr. Hartsey's insights.
[00:13:45]  We'll put some of them up on droz.com.
[00:13:47]  Be right back.
[00:13:51]  Coming up, the four hour guru, Tim Ferriss, is here to show you how to get twice as much done and feel half as tired.
[00:13:57]  Cheers to that.
[00:14:07]  I know you all have these to do lists.
[00:14:09]  They get longer and longer and they sort of feel like they're endless, don't they?
[00:14:13]  We've all been here.
[00:14:13]  I'm not going to read this whole thing, but you have your own version of this.
[00:14:16]  But what if I told you that I have a plan for you to get twice as much done while feeling half as tired?
[00:14:24]  I do.
[00:14:25]  I brought in one of the most productive people I know, the four hour guru himself, Tim Farish, to show you how.
[00:14:31]  Now, he has spoken.
[00:14:32]  Give him applause, he deserves it.
[00:14:33]  This guy has corralled hundreds of the most successful people in the world for his new book, Tribe of Mentors.
[00:14:41]  How do these people accomplish so much, so much, and they don't burn out?
[00:14:45]  So they have the same type of lists, they have the same type of insecurities, but they have tools and routines that they've developed over time that people can borrow.
[00:14:53]  So it's actually relatively easy to test drive a lot of what these people do.
[00:14:56]  So you can apply to anyone in the audience?
[00:14:58]  Yes.
[00:14:59]  Absolutely.
[00:15:00]  Absolutely.
[00:15:01]  We're challenging you.
[00:15:01]  I'm ready.
[00:15:02]  So he says the first thing we need to do is to hack our to do list.
[00:15:06]  And these are the to do lists from everybody in the audience who feels lucky here.
[00:15:12]  How about this one?
[00:15:14]  Okay, ready?
[00:15:15]  This is from Jamala.
[00:15:18]  Jamala.
[00:15:19]  Where's Jamala?
[00:15:22]  Come on down.
[00:15:23]  Come on down.
[00:15:25]  This is quite a list here.
[00:15:26]  Wake up the kids in the morning.
[00:15:28]  You have to do that?
[00:15:29]  Yeah.
[00:15:30]  Hold that mic.
[00:15:31]  I'll hold your list for you.
[00:15:32]  Okay.
[00:15:32]  So start reading this off if you don't mind.
[00:15:34]  So I wake up the kids, I get them dressed, I make their breakfast, get their lunch ready, bring them to school.
[00:15:40]  Then I have to take care of my business, send emails, run errands, run to the supermarket, post office.
[00:15:45]  Gosh.
[00:15:46]  This is all before pickup.
[00:15:47]  And they're seven, five, and three, so it's a lot.
[00:15:50]  I do the laundry.
[00:15:52]  It's endless, as you can see.
[00:15:53]  You're restating the table?
[00:15:55]  Are you kidding me?
[00:15:56]  Yeah, I'm doing a lot of decorating and remodeling at home.
[00:16:00]  Jim, I'm a busy guy.
[00:16:03]  This is exhausting to me to read.
[00:16:04]  So cuddle up over here for a second and listen to this man.
[00:16:06]  So, this is a to do list that I'm sure is not unique in the audience here in the studio and at home.
[00:16:11]  So, hack this for me.
[00:16:12]  What a successful people do with a list like this.
[00:16:14]  This produces a lot of anxiety.
[00:16:16]  It does.
[00:16:16]  This is a lot.
[00:16:17]  So, the key here is.
[00:16:19]  To not worry about time so much as priorities.
[00:16:22]  That's the best way to put it.
[00:16:23]  And I think that one of the best places to start, in which a lot of successful people start, is with a not to do list.
[00:16:29]  So, a few things that you can do to shut out the noise.
[00:16:31]  The first would be turning your phone to grayscale, so making it black and white, so that you're less inclined to use social media.
[00:16:37]  So, studies have shown this dramatically reduces all of the noise.
[00:16:41]  I know it's hard, but it's really easy to change the phone.
[00:16:43]  But, taking it away from me, I never knew you could do that.
[00:16:45]  So, you make it all black and white.
[00:16:46]  Yeah, and immediately you'll drop your, say, social media use 30 50%.
[00:16:50]  Very interesting.
[00:16:51]  Yeah.
[00:16:51]  So, in terms of distraction.
[00:16:53]  Very interesting means I'm not going to do it.
[00:16:55]  It's interesting you said it, but I'm not doing it.
[00:16:57]  I will try it.
[00:16:58]  All right, I'll give you another one.
[00:17:00]  So, for a lot of these, you have to ask yourself is a few dollars worth more than the finite time that I have, right?
[00:17:06]  And there are services like TaskRabbit and others that would allow you to get help with, say, painting the house, whether it's assembling furniture, and some of these errands, say, outside of the house.

=== Shutting Out The Noise (03:21) ===

[00:17:14]  Okay.
[00:17:14]  And so that can be a really, really wise trade.
[00:17:16]  And I know a lot of moms, including single moms, who have used this really effectively.
[00:17:20]  And then for what remains, because such a list is really overwhelming for me too.
[00:17:24]  Is go through each and ask, if I were to get this done, would I be satisfied with my day?
[00:17:31]  That's question number one.
[00:17:32]  Number two is, which of these, if done, would make the rest of them easier or less stressful?
[00:17:37]  And in that way, you can put them in an order.
[00:17:40]  And also, a common refrain that I hear from people who are the best at what they do is if you win the morning, you win the day.
[00:17:46]  So try to get one of those most important items done before lunch.
[00:17:50]  Take this and win the morning next time.
[00:17:52]  Thank you very much.
[00:17:55]  So, Richard wants to hack your sleep, which is the single most underappreciated problem in America, but he's going to do it with apple cider vinegar, which is a home remedy I get told about all the time, but not usually for sleep.
[00:18:08]  Yeah, and I was introduced to this by a PhD from Berkeley, actually, at one point, and a number of elite athletes have told me why this seems to work.
[00:18:16]  So, it's two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of raw honey, and you simply put them into hot water, mix it up before bed.
[00:18:25]  Could not be cheaper.
[00:18:26]  And for a lot of people who say get tired and wired, they lay down in bed and suddenly they're wide awake and don't know why, it's because of this stress hormone called cortisol.
[00:18:36]  And there are people who believe that the apple cider vinegar lowers cortisol.
[00:18:39]  But it actually, it's not bad at all.
[00:18:41]  It's like salad dressing in a water.
[00:18:43]  Yeah, it's like salad dressing with a touch of sweetness.
[00:18:47]  And it's something that has helped thousands of people, readers of mine, when everything else failed.
[00:18:54]  It's been really, really wild.
[00:18:54]  And I was an insomniac for about 25 years.
[00:18:56]  And this is one of the things that finally helped me with that onset insomnia.
[00:18:59]  You know what I like about what you do?
[00:19:01]  You know, we study in medicine with these clinical trials, lots of money have to go into them.
[00:19:05]  We try to tell you 10 years later whether something works or not.
[00:19:08]  You haven't gone out and talked to people who've actually done it for themselves.
[00:19:11]  So we can't prove that this works.
[00:19:13]  But if you tell me that 100 people you really respect or 1,000 people you really like a lot who have done something incredible with their lives do this, at least I want to try it.
[00:19:21]  So put these things in the bottom of that checklist that you're going to have already shortened down and try some of these hacks out.
[00:19:26]  All right.
[00:19:26]  By the way, there are probably other things you've learned talking to these luminaries about sleep.
[00:19:30]  There are, yeah.
[00:19:31]  There's some other really wild ones.
[00:19:33]  So, for instance, I learned from Jane McGonigal, she's a PhD and studies game design, that you can use Tetris, like a free version of Tetris, that game everyone's played, for 10 15 minutes before you go to bed.
[00:19:43]  And it helps to overwrite, to block those loops, the argument that you had, the thing that's on your to do list.
[00:19:48]  It helps to overwrite that.
[00:19:49]  So, it actually has some applications for PTSD as well.
[00:19:52]  So, I started doing Tetris, which no one has to really twist my arm to do.
[00:19:56]  It's a fun game for 10 to 15 minutes before I go into my bedroom.
[00:20:00]  And that plus this, you're out.
[00:20:02]  Weighted Blanket is another one.
[00:20:03]  That's kind of unusual.
[00:20:04]  A weighted blanket?
[00:20:05]  A weighted blanket.
[00:20:06]  So, much like in many cultures, children are put into a papoose.
[00:20:09]  I mean, they have those kind of constraints and weight.
[00:20:11]  A lot of people who suffer anxiety, a weighted blanket like that.
[00:20:14]  Stand up comedian named Whitney Cummings introduced me to that.
[00:20:16]  And again, it's just like a magic trick.
[00:20:18]  It's really wild.
[00:20:19]  It's so cool to even find these things out.
[00:20:21]  You don't even know they asked the question.
[00:20:25]  What are the issues that come up with the viewers and lodgers of their morning coffee?
[00:20:28]  And we fight back and forth, you know, cat fights really, scratching at each other about whether you should take morning coffee out of your diet, put it in your diet.
[00:20:34]  You've got a hack.

=== Weighted Blanket Secrets (07:36) ===

[00:20:35]  That you keep your morning coffee in your diet.
[00:20:37]  Exactly.
[00:20:38]  Yep.
[00:20:38]  So the sleep is kind of the bedrock for everything.
[00:20:41]  But then, of course, sometimes you need a jumpstart.
[00:20:44]  And what I've found, and this is really just borrowing from studies and learning from scientists, is that in grapefruit juice, that's what this is, and it's unsweetened, so maybe a little bit bitter, has something called naryngin in it, which extends the effects of caffeine.
[00:20:59]  What this means is if you're like me, you have one cup, you have two, you have five, you have six, uh oh, now you're in real trouble.
[00:21:04]  So instead, you can take, say, a shot of grapefruit juice.
[00:21:08]  Cheers.
[00:21:09]  Cheers, Prost.
[00:21:12]  And then, once you've done that, that's a strong grapefruit juice.
[00:21:17]  Once you've done that, you can get the same mileage that you would get out of five or six cups with, say, one or two or three cups.
[00:21:23]  And I also replace sugar with cinnamon.
[00:21:27]  And the reason for that is many fold, but one of the biggest reasons is that it increases or can increase insulin sensitivity.
[00:21:34]  That's just a fancy way of saying that the mood swings, the energy crashes you might feel in the afternoon, you can, in many respects, prevent by adding some cinnamon.
[00:21:43]  Well, and it helps with blood sugar and all the things you said, but I can't say this I can't imagine you picking more than one cup of coffee.
[00:21:50]  You bouncing off the walls in the studio.
[00:21:52]  Yeah.
[00:21:52]  Yeah.
[00:21:53]  And this is also a great way because it replaces that desire you have for something a little bit sweetish without any calories in it.
[00:21:59]  Absolutely.
[00:21:59]  All right, I'm coming up.
[00:22:00]  You got lots more of Tim's amazing hacks and shortcuts this time.
[00:22:03]  You can help your body by getting the one you want for the new year.
[00:22:06]  Stay around.
[00:22:10]  A sexual harassment epidemic.
[00:22:13]  New accusations every day.
[00:22:15]  Should punishment be the same for every offender?
[00:22:18]  The sexual harassment explosion.
[00:22:20]  Now what?
[00:22:20]  A Dr. Oz special report.
[00:22:23]  That's coming up Friday on Dr. Oz.
[00:22:30]  I'm back with Tim Ferriss, who is sharing his secrets to improve your body and mind.
[00:22:34]  We're going to start with the body.
[00:22:35]  Tim says, the secret here is a slow carb diet.
[00:22:38]  But folks don't really know what slow carbs mean.
[00:22:40]  So, what are fast carbs?
[00:22:41]  What are slow carbs?
[00:22:42]  So, the slow carb diet, I tested dozens of different diets on thousands of different people, and this had the highest compliance rate, the highest success rate.
[00:22:50]  It's really simple.
[00:22:50]  So, I'm going to explain the difference between these two, but the basic three rules are don't eat anything that's white or can be white, do not drink your calories, and then have one day a week where you just go crazy, eat whatever you want.
[00:23:01]  All right, that's really about it.
[00:23:02]  They like that part, the throwback part.
[00:23:04]  They like the go crazy part, which is important.
[00:23:07]  Now, slow carbs, fast carbs, really what you're consuming are carbohydrates that are digested more slowly.
[00:23:13]  And what this does is prevent a whole host of different problems, including fat gain, or can help mitigate that problem.
[00:23:20]  And it's really been fascinating to see how many people who've always failed at every diet they've tried have been able to follow this as a lifestyle, not just a crash diet, but a lifestyle.
[00:23:30]  And my dad lost more than 80 pounds, for instance.
[00:23:33]  I know people who've lost more than 200 pounds.
[00:23:35]  Or people who just want to look better in a pair of jeans.
[00:23:37]  I've seen people lose up to 20, say, pounds in the first four to eight weeks with really simple changes.
[00:23:43]  A lot of diets give you big weight loss.
[00:23:45]  What you're catching my attention with is the observation that this is easy to stay on.
[00:23:49]  That way, more people than just a few will do it.
[00:23:51]  I follow this myself.
[00:23:52]  I followed it for more than 10 years.
[00:23:53]  So, fast carbs, again, it could be white, pasta, bread, sugar.
[00:23:56]  Yep, rice, exactly.
[00:23:58]  Which seems hard, except you get all this back.
[00:24:00]  And these things, because they're absorbed more slowly into your body, we talk about this.
[00:24:03]  By the way, the foundation of most of the diets we talk about that could work have this.
[00:24:06]  Exactly.
[00:24:06]  It's just a simple, elegant way because you're a hacker.
[00:24:08]  Yeah, I'm just trying to distill it down so it's easier to digest, so to speak.
[00:24:12]  Now, for me, this makes sense, but for the audience, like Aline over here, it's a bit more of a challenge.
[00:24:17]  She says that these slow carbs are hard to get into her diet.
[00:24:20]  So, give me your story a little bit.
[00:24:22]  You just watched us over there.
[00:24:22]  What's the biggest challenge when you're trying to regulate what you put in your mouth?
[00:24:25]  Well, I'm totally about eating healthy, but I find like with three meals a day, I'm bound to slip up somewhere.
[00:24:32]  So, you know, I would just really like to have some type of healthy routine that I can easily jump into.
[00:24:38]  All right.
[00:24:38]  So, I'm going to share a thought with you.
[00:24:40]  The average person who's thinking about their diet, no matter what program it is, starts off like this.
[00:24:44]  This is what their week looks like, right?
[00:24:46]  You got seven days of the week, you got breakfast, lunch, dinner, and is that sort of who you are?
[00:24:50]  A bunch of question marks, you're not sure what we're going to do?
[00:24:52]  Yeah.
[00:24:52]  21 choices basically make, 21 chances to make a mistake.
[00:24:55]  Yeah.
[00:24:56]  Tim.
[00:24:57]  The shortcut to this problem is embracing that slow carbs can't be just an accident.
[00:25:01]  That's right.
[00:25:02]  Yeah, it really just comes down.
[00:25:03]  We all have default meals.
[00:25:04]  If I ask people, like, what do you eat for breakfast seven days?
[00:25:07]  It's going to be probably more or less the same thing.
[00:25:09]  So the most important to start with is breakfast.
[00:25:12]  And the good news is just fixing breakfast can lead to dramatic changes, even if you leave the rest the same.
[00:25:18]  And an ideal breakfast would be something like two eggs, some lentils, some spinach.
[00:25:23]  If that's too much, too much of a pain, then you could do, say, a whey protein shake and A little bit of lentils.
[00:25:29]  It can be really fast.
[00:25:30]  And 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes is usually the guideline.
[00:25:34]  And then if we go to lunch, then again, most people eat more or less the same two or three things.
[00:25:39]  So you're just picking a better default meal.
[00:25:40]  It could be a cob salad.
[00:25:42]  This week for me, I'm eating burrito bowls with no rice, but all sorts of other delicious stuff, guacamole and so on.
[00:25:47]  And that's my go to.
[00:25:48]  Okay, how about for dinner?
[00:25:49]  So dinner, good news, you have some variety options.
[00:25:52]  So you can use different spices.
[00:25:53]  You finally smiled.
[00:25:55]  Aline finally smiled.
[00:25:57]  And there's no me.
[00:25:59]  And, you know, in my experience and that of now, I'm in.
[00:26:03]  Hundreds of thousands of people have tried this.
[00:26:06]  Protein, veggie, fats, you're good to go.
[00:26:08]  You're just avoiding things that are white or that could be white.
[00:26:11]  And every once in a while, you're even allowed a little bit of wine or something like that.
[00:26:14]  So it's not too difficult.
[00:26:16]  A little bit of wine.
[00:26:17]  And this is it.
[00:26:19]  This is it.
[00:26:19]  And try it for two weeks.
[00:26:20]  And it's extremely, extremely simple to follow.
[00:26:23]  Hope that works for you, Dean.
[00:26:24]  Thank you so much.
[00:26:25]  Come on over here.
[00:26:25]  So, Kim wrote this great book, Climate Mentors, which he directed advice from hundreds of the most successful people in the world.
[00:26:32]  Maria Sharapova, Arianna Huffington, Aisha Tyler, lots of folks we've had on the show.
[00:26:37]  But you asked them for wise shortcuts, clever shortcuts that we could all learn from.
[00:26:43]  Give me a couple.
[00:26:44]  What were your highlights?
[00:26:45]  So, little things that make a big difference.
[00:26:46]  That's always what I'm looking for, the little tweaks, right?
[00:26:48]  So, for instance, I have something in my pocket that people may not have noticed.
[00:26:53]  It's this.
[00:26:54]  It's called a Rubs ball, and it looks like a golf ball with little prongs on it.
[00:26:57]  This was introduced to me by Amelia Boone, four time world champion in obstacle course racing, who is also a full time attorney.
[00:27:03]  She's a busy, busy lady.
[00:27:05]  And you roll out your feet.
[00:27:07]  Say in the morning for a minute or two, and then again at night, and all sorts of knee and hip and back pain, for me at least, and for a number of other athletes, have just gone.
[00:27:15]  It's hard.
[00:27:15]  It's a hard ball with little points on it.
[00:27:17]  It would probably be a little uncomfortable to stand there.
[00:27:19]  It's a little uncomfortable, so you sit down and then just weight it on one foot, and that fits in a jacket pocket.
[00:27:24]  It's so easy.
[00:27:26]  Boom, and it's gone.
[00:27:27]  So that's one.
[00:27:29]  And another one, which is reishi mushroom.
[00:27:34]  So reishi mushroom before bed is another.
[00:27:38]  Ingredient that I've found, and now many, many people have found to just be the missing piece for sleep and proper deep rest.
[00:27:47]  Making a tea out of it, a soup?
[00:27:49]  Yeah, just making a tea.
[00:27:50]  So you're taking a tablespoon of powdered reishi, drop it in, mix it up.
[00:27:54]  It has a very earthy flavor to it.
[00:27:56]  It's not bad.
[00:27:57]  And who would have thought something that's been around for thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of years?
[00:28:02]  So perhaps because you've started putting it on the radar screen, I'm hearing that will be the biggest health trend of 2018.
[00:28:08]  The Reishi Mountain mustard being used in the sugar.

=== Reishi For Deep Rest (06:53) ===

[00:28:11]  Thank you for sharing all these secrets with us.
[00:28:13]  Bonus hack from Tim on how you can read twice as fast as on droz.com.
[00:28:17]  Check it out.
[00:28:17]  Lots more information from him.
[00:28:18]  Tribe of Mentors is available everywhere.
[00:28:20]  I'm thinking we can give one chapter to each member of the audience.
[00:28:24]  Let's do it.
[00:28:25]  Just one chapter?
[00:28:25]  You know what?
[00:28:26]  Why don't we just give a book?
[00:28:27]  The whole book?
[00:28:27]  Let's give the whole book to everybody.
[00:28:29]  Everybody?
[00:28:29]  Yeah.
[00:28:29]  All right, y'all go home with a coffee.
[00:28:31]  Enjoy it.
[00:28:32]  We'll be right back.
[00:28:37]  Your beauty salon may be making you sick.
[00:28:40]  Toxic hair treatment of the new secondhand smoke.
[00:28:44]  How the fumes can affect your health.
[00:28:48]  All nuance.
[00:28:49]  That's coming up tomorrow.
[00:28:57]  We put our best face forward, especially around the holidays.
[00:29:00]  Today, we're tackling beauty from the inside and the outside so you can look and feel your best.
[00:29:05]  I'm going to reveal how you can restore your skin's appearance this holiday season.
[00:29:10]  And here to help us walk through all the details is dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe, who's here on behalf of my trusted sponsor partner, number seven.
[00:29:18]  Thank you for being here.
[00:29:19]  Thanks for having me.
[00:29:20]  You always say you are what you eat, but be specific.
[00:29:22]  How does a diet play a role in how your skin can glow and impress everybody?
[00:29:26]  Well, diet can actually help determine the quality and the appearance of your skin.
[00:29:30]  But that's actually a newer way of thinking.
[00:29:33]  So, back when I was in training in medical school, in residency, you know, we were taught that diet had no impact whatsoever on the skin.
[00:29:41]  And it's just now that the dermatology textbooks and the guidelines are all being revised to reflect this notion that diet actually does indeed impact the skin.
[00:29:52]  But of course, that being said, you know, you can change your diet and don't expect it to erase your wrinkles and solve all your skin concerns overnight, but it can slow down the aging process and even out your skin tone.
[00:30:04]  So, this time of year, We all love having a good time.
[00:30:06]  And a lot of good time food is sugary food.
[00:30:09]  Oh, yeah.
[00:30:09]  So I've been trying to understand this and explain this to the audience, but please take this away.
[00:30:13]  When you eat something sweet, what does it do to your skin?
[00:30:15]  Does it really impact on it?
[00:30:16]  The more sugar you eat, the faster you age, and it's that simple.
[00:30:20]  So the current thinking is that.
[00:30:22]  Are you hearing this?
[00:30:23]  Yep, yep, yep.
[00:30:24]  When we eat sugar, it's thought to actually disrupt that healthy balance of bacteria that live in our gut.
[00:30:31]  And that can actually trigger inflammation in the gut, which is thought to in turn trigger inflammation in the skin.
[00:30:36]  So it makes perfect sense.
[00:30:37]  It hurts every other part of our body.
[00:30:39]  Why would it spare our skin?
[00:30:40]  Right.
[00:30:40]  Okay, so eating sugar is inevitable around the holidays, but you say there are some foods that could be our salvation.
[00:30:45]  It could help us revitalize the skin from the inside out.
[00:30:47]  So I'm going to give a couple examples, and you tell me why they work.
[00:30:50]  The first, vitamin A. Right.
[00:30:53]  So colorful foods, so foods that are naturally bright in color, they tend to contain a lot of antioxidants.
[00:30:59]  And antioxidants can help to protect the skin from harmful free radicals that damage the skin and accelerate the aging process.
[00:31:06]  So, vitamin A rich foods like sweet potatoes.
[00:31:10]  Not only are they loaded with those antioxidants, but they also help to speed cell turnover.
[00:31:15]  So it gives you that healthy glow from the inside out.
[00:31:18]  So it's protective, right?
[00:31:19]  Sort of like this starch spray, right?
[00:31:21]  If I starch spray this face, which has got some wrinkles on it, right?
[00:31:25]  Perfect, except for the wrinkles in the brows, the forehead, the neck, by the way.
[00:31:29]  Don't forget that.
[00:31:30]  The frown lines or smile lines, right?
[00:31:32]  But so to speak, this is my vitamin A.
[00:31:34]  Okay.
[00:31:35]  Right.
[00:31:35]  Vitamin C.
[00:31:36]  We talk about this all the time because in order to make skin, you need vitamin C. Very true.
[00:31:40]  So vitamin C retreats.
[00:31:41]  Strawberry and lemons and oranges.
[00:31:44]  You know, these actually help to even out the skin tone as well.
[00:31:47]  And they're so easy to throw into your holiday grocery shopping cart, right?
[00:31:51]  The antidote to our sugar.
[00:31:52]  Yes.
[00:31:53]  And that, so to speak, is the iron.
[00:31:55]  Because vitamin C works to even out the skin tone.
[00:31:58]  I'll get in the neck as well.
[00:32:00]  All right.
[00:32:01]  And how about the last bit?
[00:32:03]  The calcium is just something that people don't think about as often.
[00:32:06]  You know, calcium, people know that calcium is really good for their bones, but calcium is also really great for the skin.
[00:32:12]  And calcium rich foods like milk and kale.
[00:32:16]  Can actually restore the skin's skin.
[00:32:18]  Always kale.
[00:32:19]  It always comes back to kale.
[00:32:23]  It's all about the kale.
[00:32:24]  The kale makes me powerful.
[00:32:26]  And as the calcium pulls your skin apart like this.
[00:32:29]  Yes, it makes it nice and firm and tight because as we age, you know, the calcium levels in our skin, they drop.
[00:32:35]  And when that happens, we have a decreased production of key structural components.
[00:32:38]  So it leaves the face and the neck, you know, thin, dry and weak.
[00:32:43]  Now it's essential to try to get as many of these ingredients in your diet as possible and nourish and feed your skin from the inside out.
[00:32:50]  But it's equally as important to try to use these ingredients Directly on the skin and treat the skin from the outside in.
[00:32:57]  And really, the most effective way to do that is to find a powerhouse product like a serum, ideally one that's simple to use because the holidays can get crazy, the schedule gets nuts.
[00:33:07]  You want a product that's simple to use but super effective.
[00:33:10]  So, come on, walk over here.
[00:33:12]  Tell me if you, as a dermatologist, a very busy practice, everyone's trying to get into her practice, by the way, in this area of the country.
[00:33:17]  What do you recommend to your patients?
[00:33:19]  One of the easiest ways to incorporate all those ingredients into your skincare regimen is to use the new number seven, Restore and Renew.
[00:33:26]  Face and neck serum.
[00:33:27]  It actually contains all those ingredients that we just discussed to revitalize the skin, and it delivers five clinically proven results for the face and the neck.
[00:33:36]  So, when it comes to the face, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles thanks to a powerful peptide blend and vitamin A.
[00:33:42]  It helps to firm up the texture of the skin thanks to hibiscus extract and hyaluronic acid.
[00:33:48]  It evens out the skin tone thanks to Indian gooseberry and vitamin C.
[00:33:53]  And when it comes to the neck, you know, it really firms up the neck and reduces that crepey texture that we all hate in the neck thanks to an added complex of.
[00:34:00]  Calcium amino acids and skin ceramides.
[00:34:04]  So, I wanted to ask a couple of viewers to try it.
[00:34:06]  So, Lisa, just before around the holidays, come on in, Lisa.
[00:34:09]  Start using this product.
[00:34:10]  How was it, Lisa?
[00:34:12]  How are you?
[00:34:13]  Have you been happy with it?
[00:34:14]  I've been very happy with it.
[00:34:15]  I feel like it's smoother, softer, and my favorite part is that crepe-iness has reduced.
[00:34:22]  I felt comfortable wearing, you know, the right neck to it.
[00:34:25]  Showing it off.
[00:34:26]  There we go.
[00:34:27]  Tell us why the neck is so important.
[00:34:28]  You know, people often neglect their neck.
[00:34:30]  You know, and then one day my patients wake up and they're like, Face doesn't match my neck.
[00:34:33]  So, you always want to treat your neck and your face as one cosmetic unit.
[00:34:38]  And I love that this particular product you can use for both.
[00:34:43]  Some are just the face, some are specifically designed for the face and the neck, which is really nice.
[00:34:47]  Pat, what bothers you about your skin?
[00:34:49]  I don't like heavy laugh lines, crow's feet, lines under my eyes, and I've noticed definitely diminishing in the lines.
[00:34:57]  And especially when I put my foundation on, it's not creasing into those crevices.
[00:35:03]  You just applied it.
[00:35:04]  Morning and evening.

=== Chelsea's Kindness Act (07:37) ===

[00:35:05]  Yeah.
[00:35:06]  And you got your neck.
[00:35:07]  Yes.
[00:35:07]  Those smile lines are called smile lines for a reason, by the way.
[00:35:10]  It's because you smiled a lot in your life.
[00:35:11]  So I like the smile lines.
[00:35:13]  But I get it.
[00:35:14]  If you want to improve on them, reduce them just a tiny bit, nudge yourself back a little bit in time, it's a good way to go.
[00:35:19]  How do you find it?
[00:35:20]  What does it cost?
[00:35:20]  So this serum, you can get it at Target or Target.com for just under $35.
[00:35:25]  And my husband noticed.
[00:35:27]  Really?
[00:35:27]  So your husband noticed?
[00:35:29]  Yeah.
[00:35:29]  A difference.
[00:35:30]  My husband doesn't notice anything.
[00:35:32]  Cool.
[00:35:33]  That's saying a lot.
[00:35:34]  It's the biggest endorsement.
[00:35:35]  So here's the we can go around the audience and just put a little dollop in their hand.
[00:35:38]  Everyone gets a little dope.
[00:35:39]  Is that okay for you guys?
[00:35:42]  No, that was not a good response.
[00:35:44]  I think they all want something.
[00:35:45]  Thanks to my trusted sponsorship partner, number seven, you're all going home with number seven's Restore and Renew Face and Death Multi Action Serum.
[00:35:53]  We'll be right back.
[00:35:57]  I'll bet something to feel good about.
[00:35:59]  Find out what happens when a waitress gets the tip of her life.
[00:36:08]  Today, we've got something to feel good about.
[00:36:10]  It's a surprise for one of the most hardworking, underappreciated people out there.
[00:36:15]  Waitresses often work long, tireless hours, surviving on, well, frankly, bad tips.
[00:36:20]  But watch what happens when one waitress in California gets surprised not once, but many times over in a prank that has a happy ending.
[00:36:29]  Like many waitresses, Chelsea has struggled financially.
[00:36:32]  She had to raise her little sister from when she was just a girl.
[00:36:35]  She overcame a severe eating disorder, and her car is a complete piece of junk.
[00:36:39]  If anybody could use a break, it's Chelsea.
[00:36:42]  Leave a 20 on the table and then a thousand in the footboard.
[00:37:00]  What did you say to that man?
[00:37:01]  Did he say anything to him?
[00:37:03]  Did he literally just leave you $1,000?
[00:37:06]  What?
[00:37:06]  Close the bill out and stick the rest in your pocket.
[00:37:08]  What?
[00:37:10]  What do you want me to do with it?
[00:37:11]  She didn't want to keep the money.
[00:37:12]  It's in her nature just to split it up with everybody.
[00:37:15]  We'll put it here.
[00:37:16]  She doesn't want to hold on to it.
[00:37:18]  She's like freaking out.
[00:37:19]  How's your day going, all right?
[00:37:20]  It's interesting.
[00:37:21]  Interesting good?
[00:37:22]  Always interesting good.
[00:37:23]  Oh, well, that's a good attitude.
[00:37:25]  So, my travel agent's already set.
[00:37:28]  I'm so embarrassed.
[00:37:29]  I only had money for the actual bill.
[00:37:32]  Okay.
[00:37:32]  We don't have it for the tip, but we have a travel agency, and we get these vouchers for two people to Hawaii.
[00:37:38]  It's all expensive.
[00:37:39]  We have to pay all the time.
[00:37:46]  I'm Chelsea's boss.
[00:37:47]  Believe me, Chelsea deserves a vacation.
[00:37:50]  What is happening to you today?
[00:37:51]  I quit.
[00:37:52]  I quit.
[00:37:53]  The next surprise I'm really excited about because it could really change Chelsea's life.
[00:37:57]  Dr. Pavoy, cue the yoga book.
[00:37:59]  Make sure Chelsea can see it.
[00:38:02]  You do yoga?
[00:38:04]  I do yoga.
[00:38:06]  I do a lot of yoga.
[00:38:07]  Thank you too.
[00:38:08]  How did you get into yoga anyway?
[00:38:10]  It's a long story.
[00:38:12]  I had a really severe eating disorder when I was young.
[00:38:15]  I came out of treatment of therapists.
[00:38:17]  I think yoga would be really beneficial for you.
[00:38:19]  It was life-changing.
[00:38:20]  When I was approached to help Chelsea, I did my own research on her and I was just so taken with her story and how hard she worked to go from the bottom of the pit to the top.
[00:38:32]  is so proud of her achievements and wants so much to give back to other people that I was just thrilled to be a part of it.
[00:38:38]  I've been running a non-profit eating disorder program for the last 14 years and I'm just opening up a new program.
[00:38:45]  The one component that I'm missing is yoga.
[00:38:48]  I was wondering if you have any interest in being part of the program.
[00:38:53]  Really?
[00:38:53]  Really?
[00:38:55]  Wow.
[00:38:57]  That's not what I was expecting today.
[00:38:59]  I just happened to be here and meet you and I thought that's sort of random.
[00:39:02]  Is it something you're interested in?
[00:39:04]  Yes.
[00:39:04]  And this could be a great thing.
[00:39:05]  Sorry, I'm sort of like with your back, but thank you.
[00:39:09]  Pretty cool, isn't it?
[00:39:11]  Well, when we come back, the prank isn't over.
[00:39:13]  Wait until you see what happens next and what Chelsea is doing to pay this act of kindness forward.
[00:39:23]  Toxic hair treatments are the new secondhand smoke.
[00:39:26]  How your beauty salon may be making you sick, all nuance.
[00:39:30]  That's coming up tomorrow.
[00:39:37]  We're back with something to feel good about.
[00:39:39]  Now, during one of her shifts, the folks at prankitforward.com surprised waitress Chelsea Roth with a $1,000 tip.
[00:39:46]  And then a free vacation to Hawaii.
[00:39:49]  And then an offer for her dream job, kitchen yoga.
[00:39:52]  But that wasn't the end of the surprises.
[00:39:55]  The best was still to come.
[00:40:00]  Car key.
[00:40:02]  Car key.
[00:40:03]  That's you.
[00:40:04]  That's your car key.
[00:40:05]  I don't understand.
[00:40:07]  Let's go outside.
[00:40:09]  Come on, let's go outside.
[00:40:10]  You got a minute.
[00:40:12]  I'm Lenny.
[00:40:14]  Don't let her see you.
[00:40:15]  I think she's going to be really amazed that not only the show, but the people around her wanted to do this stuff for her.
[00:40:21]  See that car?
[00:40:23]  That's your car.
[00:40:24]  Why are you doing this?
[00:40:24]  Let's do this because I want to give you a tip today.
[00:40:26]  Who are you?
[00:40:27]  I'm giving you a car.
[00:40:28]  Come on.
[00:40:29]  Let's go.
[00:40:29]  Let's see who's inside.
[00:40:30]  Hey, I love that manette.
[00:40:33]  Hey, I love that manette.
[00:40:42]  Good friends, please.
[00:40:53]  You know what I really loved about that?
[00:40:54]  She was more excited to see her friend than to get the car or the money or the tickets to Hawaii or anything else.
[00:41:00]  So you reached out to Chelsea to see how she's doing.
[00:41:02]  And here's what she had to say.
[00:41:04]  Hey, Dr. Oz, this is Chelsea Roff coming to you from Los Angeles.
[00:41:08]  And I just wanted to send an update on how things have been since that crazy, crazy day I got surprised with a brand new car.
[00:41:16]  Amazing, to say the least.
[00:41:18]  I now run a nonprofit organization, which is just a dream come true.
[00:41:23]  The organization is called Eat, Breathe, Thrive, and our mission is to prevent and help people fully overcome mental health challenges through integrative health programs and many other modalities.
[00:41:32]  We've got them running in schools, which is awesome.
[00:41:34]  They're designed to prevent eating disorders, prevent substance use issues, and teach kids skills for mindful eating, body confidence, and emotional resilience.
[00:41:43]  Things are great.
[00:41:44]  Things are great.
[00:41:45]  And I feel tremendously blessed and still surprised daily that this is my life.
[00:41:55]  And here's something else to feel good about a free yoga workout from Chelsea that we're putting up on drraj.com, and it's on our app.
[00:42:02]  But check it out and enjoy it.
[00:42:03]  Now, the folks at Prank It Forward are at it again with all new pranks for good, like this one an aspiring new singer who she gets to meet her idol.
