We break it down with our Tea Tox Decoder. Then, full-figured supermodel Ashley Graham opens up. When you put yourself out there and are a supermodel, people attack you. Criticism at any stage of the game sucks. Coming up next... We'll save lives today. You guys ready to get healthy? Oh, thank you. Pinterest and Instagram posts about tea detoxes, from slender celeb endorsements to the incredible stories of people who swear they took off 10, 15 pounds in just a couple days or weeks. How do you know which tea detoxes are worth your money? Which ones are safe? Well, grab a pen, because today we get the Tea Tox decoder. To break it all down. So you know which tea is best for weight loss, which is best for detoxing, even glowing skin. So you look your best. Plus, Renata's going to be here picking questions from my social media board so you can get all your burning tea questions answered before the show is over. Now, I even asked naturopathic expert Dr. Pina Laguda-Che to look into some of the most popular all-in-one detoxes that's being advertised as quick fixes for weight loss. And we have them all here. They're all here. But listen, everybody, I took the labels off. You know why? Because people steal my picture with their labels. They put it online and say that I sell their product. So just to make it clean, there's no actual real labels here. But this is the stuff. So, your big investigation, what'd you find? Yeah, so it's actually pretty quite, this industry has been booming in terms of using celebrity endorsements to promote detoxification by using teas. And what they claim is that they can reboot your body, detoxify, reset, you slim you down, even lower cholesterol and even lower heart disease. And for two cups a day at a big bang of $55 a month, I think it's a big to-do. Right, so there... Always concerns I think our audience should have when they see quick fixes. And I want you, if you don't mind, to go through some detail about the concerns you have about whether these can actually deliver the big promises. They're offering it. What are some of the risks of taking these detoxes? Well, the problem that I have as a naturopathic doctor is that these are combinations that you don't really know exactly what you're getting in there. So they make a lot of claims that, okay, they're going to detox you, but they don't actually say how or why. And the biggest reason as to how they detoxify you is through using laxatives, which a lot of people are not aware of can be harmful to your health. And the biggest ingredient that they use in these detoxes is an herb called senna. So on its own, Senna is actually not Not controversial. It's FDA approved for constipation. I recommended it in my practice. But the problem is these detoxes, as you can see, are listed here. They're 14-day. Some are 28-day programs. And really, Senna should not be used at most two weeks. So here's my issue. We've got the mixture of products, right? So I look at this and I see a lot of stuff and I don't know what's in there. And I would never prescribe medications like that. No, never. I have a concern about the $55 or whatever it costs. And I think to myself, guys... The truth is, all the benefits are from buying tea. So just get it a la carte. Right. Buy the teas you want, right? You get what you want, how much of what you want, without a lot of other stuff in there, and you save money along the way. So just for you, we have made the decoder. For these teas, that's what it's all about. It's about you controlling your destiny and saving money while you do it. So I'm going to put all the things you want from a tea talks up on the screen. Look at the screen right here. I'm going to decode which tea is good as a solution for each of these. So one's going to curb cravings, boost metabolism, lose weight, whatever the issue is. We're going to walk down this line. So the first tea is designed to curb your cravings. We're going to decode that. Using, you say, mint tea. Yes, so I really am a personal fan of mint tea. I actually drink it quite often myself. Mint tea has been shown to curb cravings in a study, really not by the leaves itself, but really more so by the aroma. And the study that showed that people who used mint or smelled mint instead of eating, it actually curbed their craving and actually ate 1,800... Calories less than other people so it really does work. So usually what I recommend is either using I personally love the fresh leaf you could break it and infuse the hot water You could obviously use a tea bag or the dry herb and the really important thing about cravings, too Is that a lot of people confuse thirst with hunger that the brain can actually differentiate when it's hungry versus thirsty So I always try to recommend drinking first wait 15 minutes, especially drinking something That's going to curb your cravings and then see how you do I have a weakness. Whenever I taste mint, I desire dark chocolate. Well, they go hand in hand. Yeah, as a child, I was probably amazed. You know, you buy the little ones in the candy store. All right, next, we want to find a tea, the best tea to boost your metabolism. We're going to decode that using green tea. Right. So green tea has something in it called catechins. And catechins has been shown to actually boost your metabolism. There was a study done that people drank green tea for 12 weeks before they exercise, and their diet was the same. So the participant's diet was the same. They drank the green tea beforehand. And those people lost significantly more weight than the people who didn't drink green tea before they exercise. So it's pretty quite remarkable in how How it could, you know, help you release fat. But some people like caffeine. And caffeine is actually good for a lot of reasons. And so the cousin of green tea is oolong tea that has even more caffeine. And this is the best tea, you argue, for weight loss. So we're going to decode. Again, all these labels you see on the packages, that's just decoded one by one. If it says weight loss, they have caffeine in there almost for sure, and oolong tea might be a reasonable source for it. Right, so oolong is in the same family as green tea, black tea, and white tea. So if they're all in the same family, it's just different things are done to it. So oolong tea has something in it called polyphenols, and it actually has the highest amount of it. And so what oolong tea does, it's very interesting. It has this very unique combination of caffeine and a very powerful antioxidant that actually allows... to lose weight that actually will inhibit fat absorption into the body. It's really quite remarkable. So the dose, do these have doses? Two cups a day, right? Two times a day, try it out. And it's delicious. All right, Renata, let's go down to our social media board over there. You got any burning questions about tea? All right, so question for you, Dr. Oz. It says, Dr. Oz, I am interested in a tea tox. Which is better, loose leaf tea or tea bags? Loose leaf or tea bags? Yeah. You're the expert, Dr. Pita. I hands down say absolutely loose leaf tea. Because in loose leaf, you're actually getting the full plant and not getting what's called dust or fanning. So you're getting a much higher quality tea when you use the loose leaf. So what I recommend is if you want to, when you're infusing your tea, do two teaspoons. You put it in an infuser. There's something sensual about this, by the way. And it smells amazing. I could just throw a bag in there, but... And it smells it, because it smells, you're really getting the plant, you know, you're getting all senses in there, then you put it in the boiling, in the water, and you allow it to infuse for a minute before you start drinking, so you really want to get all those Is the cost the same, roughly, between bags? I think roughly it's the same, because actually, most people don't realize that they use one tea bag, and they toss it, so you're actually paying more, where when you're using fresh loose leaf tea, and especially when I recommend in the green tea family, you could use those teas over five, six times. Just add more hot water. And actually, the longer that you use the same leaves, the more antioxidants you're getting out of it. You've got to be kidding me. Who would have thought of that? I know. Amazing. All this stuff you learn if you're a naturopathic doctor. I know. Social media guru, Bernadette, what else you got there? All right, now, this girl, she done got turned up over the weekend. She said, I just spent my birthday weekend with my girlfriends overindulging in cocktails and fried foods. What is the best tea to drink if I've overeaten and I've overindulged? Help her out. She was just a hot mess all weekend. She's a hot mess. She definitely needs a reset. And you know what? Pina's got the answer when we return. Next, bloated and crampy from overeating? We have the best teas to help you recover and soothe your belly naturally. Plus, sip on this tea-tox blend for glowing skin.

Then, Alan Thicke shocked fans when he suddenly died. Now his co-stars from Growing Pains are speaking out. We were just devastated. Together, for the first time, in a tribute to the man they all loved. He was so looking forward to the next chapter in his life. All new Oz. That's coming up tomorrow. We're back with the Tea Flush Decoder, and now Pia's going to give us the best teas to recover from overeating. In fact, Yadira posted that question you just heard on Facebook about overindulging with her friends this weekend. Renata called her a hot mess. I'm quoting Renata. What kinds of foods are your friends eating with you? Yeah. It's your birthday, the calorie counting is off, so there was pizza, there was cake, cake pops, margaritas, all the things that make you feel like you're having fun with your girlfriends, but after the weekend. I'm feeling a little gross, I'm feeling a little bloated, I'm feeling a little hot messy, you know. A little sludgy. A little sludgy and slow. Loose shirts, loose shirts. Loose shirts, I love it. Well, Pina has a loose shirt on for a different reason. She actually brought us a home remedy, which I really thank you for. Of course. We're going to decode your problem. The personalized blend is with fennel seeds, so come on over. You guys call it the belly scrub in your family, I'm told. Yes, I love this. I actually have it here with me this morning in my own little canister. So what you want to do, the ingredients are fennel seeds, bay leaf, and lemon peel. And basically, and they work for different reasons. So fennel seeds themselves actually help promote digestion. It will get rid of the bloat. It'll get rid of that extra abdominal gas and that Cramping and that discomfort, the oils and fennel will eliminate that. So take a little bit of fennel seeds, okay? And then basically that's why I usually put it in a pot of water and I bring it to a boil. And then some lemon peel. And then you want it to just infuse. And you bring it and you'll see the color of the water change to exactly this like light yellow. Infuse five minutes, ten minutes? Not even ten minutes. It's maybe like three minutes. And is it good to have in the morning? You can have this. All day, every day. So if you always are subject to blow up just because you're not eating right or you're under stress, This is my favorite thing. Well, how often do you go out with your friends? Right. I'm a weekend warrior, you know, sometimes. I'm worried about you, dear. Do you like the taste? What do you think of it? I love the taste. And I love that this is stuff that I would commonly have in my pantry. Absolutely. You know, very easy to put together. 100%. And that's what everyone has at home. And if you feel like it's still a little bitter, you can even add a touch of honey to it. It's outstanding. That's right. Right. So drink up. It's prophylactically your dear is drinking it now. It actually feels like someone literally is rubbing my stomach. It's very soothing. A massage from the inside. It's wonderful. You know what? Take us home with you. You might need it next weekend. All right. Come on over here. Let's check the message board again. Take it away, Renata. What do you got for us? All right. So this one says, I would love to get into the tea trend, but some of the teas I've tried are really bland. And frankly, I'm a coffee person. Can I add milk to them? So this one says, I would love to get into the tea trend, This girl wants some flavor. but some of the teas I've tried are really bland. That's what it sounds like. And frankly, I'm a coffee person. She wants some flavor. What's the couple of things? Can I add milk to them? She was asking about milk, and then what else do you flavor? So this one says, I would love to get into the tea trend, but some of the teas I've tried are really bland. You know, that is a complaint I hear. And frankly, I'm a coffee person. Coffee, people, there's such a richness to it. Yes. And aroma, and people have made it exotic and the like. So what do you recommend with teas? We're not going to come over here. We'll play a little bit. Yeah, why don't you come over? You guys can play while I talk about this. So with tea, I think you could do the same thing and be as fancy as your... Mocas, macchiatos, and things like that. So you could do the same thing with tea. So as you see, we have an arrangement of things that you absolutely can infuse your tea with. So to answer the first question, can you add milk? I say yes. But really, with tea, you can do anything with it, and I think it would be quite tasty and delicious. Why does mine look like that? Why does mine look like that? What are those curls? I think you guys are going to just arch each other a little bit. Is that cayenne? Really? Oh, my gosh. No. Really? We need the medic. We're going to need the medic. All right. I just put a little bit in there. Okay. All right. And you've got it. Now, these are all added. Are there any things you shouldn't put together, or is it pretty safe? No, everything is pretty safe together. It's really what your palate would permit. Like, personally, I'm a big fan of ginger, so I'll always do a slice of ginger in my tea. It's really great as a digestive tonic. So you really can mix and match with any of these. And you have honey and agave. Yes. And it's okay to add it if it's a little bit hot? Yeah, definitely if it's a little hot, you can do it. Do you want honey in mine? I know you want honey. But again, with either one, with any sweetener, you don't want to add too much. Because if you're doing it for weight loss and so on, you don't want to add a lot of sugar. You were so sweet already, Renata. Aw, thank you. I wasn't looking when you added stuff, so I'm going to find out. Should I stand back? I did right by you. Let me see what you did to me. I'm trying. It's curdling in there. Yeah. Let's see. Whoa. God darn it. All right, the latest detox trend that can actually brighten your skin. I'm going to put this stuff on my skin. Me too. It's not designed for your mouth. We'll be right back. Oh, God. Yeah. Next, sift your way to better skin. The teas you need to look younger and clear up imperfections. It will actually prevent wrinkles and that skin sagging, so drink up. Plus, a tea-rific solution for dark circles. Are you guys feeling good about this? I love it. Yes. We're back with the essential tea-tox regimen for your skin, that's right, you've all heard it here, Stin is benefited by tea, it can brighten up your skin, it can help with aging, signs of fatigue, that'll show up on your face, but you don't expect it! And Pélo de Jouger is here in our makeshift tea room with some audience members. To show us exactly how to do this. You up for this now? Yes. Ready up? You're up for anything we say, right? I am. It's pretty radical. The first part of the T-Tox skin regimen is to drink white tea in the morning to protect your collagen from being broken down. That's going to help you look younger because collagen is that bouncy stuff that makes your skin look resilient. All right. How do you do this? How often do you do it? Okay. So the thing with white tea, it's that it's not as processed. So it actually has a higher antioxidant. So when your skin is actually exposed to sun damage or Time, basically, your skin produces something called MMPs, which are these enzymes that actually break down the proteins in your skin, like collagen and elastase. So what the white tea does, it actually inhibits that production. So drinking the white tea will actually prevent that aging process and that's preventing wrinkles and that skin sagging. So drink up. What do you think of the taste? Smooth like your skin will be, is that what you're trying to say? Exactly, exactly. So you could drink a couple of cups a day, one to two cups for you, and it's very good for you. And it's a very low caffeine content in comparison to black and green tea. Well, now that they heard the potential benefits, is there a chance you could overdose on them? With white tea? No, not that. I'm kidding. You don't have to answer all the questions. I know, I'm so straight. All right, next up, schizandra berry. You guys probably haven't heard of this. I'm just going to explain it to you. But we're going to use this now for skin imperfections, help clear them up, and try it in the afternoon. Yes. So, Sazandra works, and I like it because it actually works on the liver, which helps clear up the skin. It actually helps clear up blemishes from the inside out. And the great thing about Sazandra, and the reason why I like it in the middle of the day, it actually is a great anti-anxiety. So, it actually helps not only clear up your skin, it helps with the stress and anxiety. So, I think it's a great choice. Let me get more of this. Are you relaxing with that? Yeah. I am. All right, so you can drink it once in the afternoon, twice in the afternoon. Yep, once or twice, one or two cups, plenty. For imperfections, it's worth it. Okay, finally, chamomile tea. This is what you use in the evening to get rid of those dark circles, especially if you're about to go out. So why is it the perfect solution to put on top of your skin? Right, so chamomile topically has been used in so many skin formulations for eons. And you guys could all try it. So what you're going to do is you're going to take a teabag. And you're going to put it on your eyes like this is great before bed as a nighttime ritual. So after you wash your face and you're doing this before bed, you put the chamomile. It removes the dark circles. It decreases the puffiness. And it's really relaxing before bed. So chamomile, you also could drink it. You could take it down now whenever you're done. I feel like pre-blind myself. I see. You guys are crying, I see. You're crying. It brings tears to your eyes. When you do the tea, try to wring out the water so that the tea is...

Next, before she was fashion's it-girl, supermodel Ashley Graham faced many setbacks. She opens up about bullying, addiction, and how she's redefined what it means to be beautiful. It was in that moment where I realized, I've got to tell myself I love me. Alan Thicke shocked fans when he suddenly died. Now his co-stars from Growing Pains are speaking out. We were just devastated. Together for the first time. He was so looking forward to the next chapter. All new Oz. That's coming up tomorrow. My next guest is one of the most famous bodies in the world and has turned the modeling industry on its head, redefining what it means to be beautiful. Ashley Graham, think about this. She started in the business at age 12. By 2016, she was the first full-figured model to land the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in the magazine's 52-year history. And she's unapologetically real, even sharing photos of her cellulite on social media, which no one does, right? But before she was fashion's it girl, she faced many obstacles. Today, she's opening up for the first time about bullying, drugs, alcohol, and her complicated relationship with food. Please welcome supermodel Ashley Graham. Thank you very much. Thank you for having me on. I'm so happy you're here. Thank you. Well, the audience loves you. They've been looking forward to you. I'm really looking forward to them. I have to tell you, my mom and my mother-in-law love you. And they would be so mad at me if I didn't say that. Well, you're very kind. Let's talk about the New York Fashion Week event that happened recently. You launched your own lingerie line. I did. And I know that in the discussions around it, people were calling you plus size. And I heard you didn't like that term. Well, I think that plus size, the term plus size is kind of a word that is divisive towards women. Something that I really believe in is that women of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and ages and backgrounds of religion should be honored as equal. And I don't think that, right? Right? So I don't think that we need to start placing women in categories because of the number inside of their pants. I've been told I was plus size my whole life, and it's not something that... necessarily felt good. It didn't feel bad, but I just knew that I was different because of my hip size. So I don't want young girls to think that they're any different because of the number inside their pants. Let's talk about the way you've broken through the barriers that have held us back. Those words in particular. So when you're on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and I just want to put that picture up again for everyone to look at. Yes, let's look at it. Please look at it. Yes. So big milestone for full-figured women. It is. When you look at that picture, who do you see? I see me looking real sexy. You do are sexy. You do. But you also, I hope, see yourself showing a different side of women. A side that historically women were always revered for. This is the thing. This is the mark that Sports Illustrated made in the fashion industry and said, being beautiful does not equate to size. Good for you. Yeah. The path to getting here wasn't always easy. It wasn't. I saw a picture. Hence the book. Hence the book. I saw a picture of you at age 12. Yeah, looking like a woman, right? Looking like a woman. What was that like, entering the industry at that young age? It was interesting. I mean, my mom and dad guided me a lot. Um, but it was difficult because I had people telling me, you know, you have to lose weight. You have to be a certain size. You have to, you have to do this and that to fit into a certain category. And when I had finally moved to New York at 17, and I talk about this in the book, it was really difficult because I wasn't eating right. I had gained a lot of weight and it wasn't right on my body type. Um, I was trying to fit in and partying and hanging out with the wrong guys. And it was in that moment where I realized, you know what? I've got to grow up, I've got to be a woman, and I've got to tell myself I love me. And it's weird. I really believe that words have power. And if you start talking to yourself in the mirror and you start saying, you know what, Cellulite, you're kind of cute today, you start to believe it. Or, you know what, lower belly fat, You might be poking out a little bit, but I'm going to choose to love you. And it really starts to change. Your mind starts to change. And then you start to make less bad decisions about who you're hanging out with and what you're doing. And thank God for my mom, because she's just really been a solid rock for me. Tell me. Let's talk about your mom and the influence she must have had when you were still young back in Nebraska and being told, and you said this in the book, that you have thunder thighs. Yes. And other... Rawr. Rawr. And other... You said rawr. Rawr. I was trying to emulate you. Good job. You know, trying to be the person you want to be, and yet hearing comments, sometimes they probably weren't even designed to be mean, although they come across that way. Of course. I mean, what I really want young girls to know is that you're not going to feel confident every day, but I'm going to give you tools to know how to get out of that insecurity or to know how to get out of bed and know that you can conquer the day without having to feel fat and ugly and not worthy. So what complicates life more, and you've pointed out, you go through a period, and you talk about this very openly, where you're experimenting with ecstasy and cocaine, you realize that's not who I want to be, that's not my future. And then a second little trick pokes in, and this issue of being in an abusive relationship, which so many young women all pray to. It's ugly. It's a place where I felt really lost and I didn't feel that I was being abused. I felt like, this guy, he just loves me. Any man who came into my life and told me I was beautiful, I attached myself to them because I was insecure. But because of that situation, I grew to understand myself. I grew to understand that my body is power. And if I give up my power, I'm going to give up my life to a man who's not worthy of it. So that... What was the turning point? How did you have that epiphany? There was a few, and I wrote about it in the book, and I know you read it. Thank you for reading it. It's well done. Because not everybody reads the book. Yeah. Well, it's real- It's written for a young audience. Yes. It's not written for my age people, which is why I think it'll work. Thank you. My ex-boyfriend had at one point chased me around the kitchen with a butcher knife and I hid myself in the bathroom and I called my mom and I didn't even call the police because I was just that insecure and she talked him off of a ledge and I thought this has to be it, like I can't go back and I still went back and it was a best, I know, and it was a best friend who said, Ashley, you are better than this. This is not the woman I know. So it was that friend that really kind of, it was something that switched inside of me. And I said, that's it. And you know what I did? I made a vow to myself that I wasn't going to have sex until I was married. And I know I went from one extreme to the other, Dr. Oz. Yes, that's a big vow. I really did. But it was really great because I figured out who I was. I didn't need a man. I didn't need media telling me who I was. I just wanted to be healthy. I wanted to be happy. And I wanted to know. Ashley, and it was the best thing I could have done. Well, I'm glad I'm meeting Ashley today. All right, up next, she's gonna share some supermodel secrets, including her complicated relationship with food. Yes. Another big topic that comes up a lot. And how she keeps that darn good looking skin of hers glowing and radiant all day long. Stick around. Next. Is like something to start your day off. It gives you that boost of energy. It's actually pretty good. Plus. I don't know. It just is nice hydration. I just love it. It's my beauty secret, and I keep it in my purse at all times. Coming up. I'm back with Ashley Graham, who's here to share some of her supermodel secrets to diet and beauty. You have become such an icon. I'm an icon. My daughters, like most daughters, like young women in the country, know you and follow you. But they knew about this Barbie doll you're making. Yes. So you brought us a picture we can show for the first time. Yes, here it is. This is my Barbie. Mattel came to me when I had... I've been honored to be Woman of the Year with Glamour, and they said, we want to have you as one of our sheroes. And I said, okay, I will make a Barbie, but her thighs have to touch, because that's real life right here. And I want her to have cellulite. So they said, her thighs can touch, but she can't have cellulite, because it's going to look like a mistake. Everything else is me. The round arms, the little belly fat, like the boobs, everything. It's me. Yes, it's me. So because you're so honest and open, there are lots of folks who are fans. And I've got someone who doesn't know this is about to happen, but she's in the audience. If she doesn't mind, I'd really appreciate if Sarah would come down. Hi! Don't say anything yet. Let me put this on you because you're not mic'd. Now you can hug. There we go. Fix your hair. Yeah, you have to fix your hair. Hi. Hi. It's amazing to meet you. Yes. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, I'm like shaking. Don't shake. It's okay. I'm shaking. We're on TV. It's not me, is it? Yeah, no, it's Dr. Oz, right? Yeah, so nervous. So why does Ashley inspire you? Before I started modeling, I saw a picture of you on the runway. You were in a black bikini with studs on it, tall boots, and that was my goal. Oh my gosh, I remember that one. That is so funny! I actually have it on my phone. It's like the fifth picture that's carried over my phone for the last five phones. And I remember seeing that. I was like, I can do what she does. Yes! Yes! On your phone, you have other things as well. Yes, I do. Including a quote with some pictures. Can I read this, if you don't mind? Yes, for sure. So I'm going to put this up for everybody, and I don't mean to embarrass you, but I just want to show this to be real here. The woman on the left is a trailblazer, an inspiration and a role model. On the right is just me. Who aspires to be like Ashley Graham. Oh, you're so sweet. You are so sweet. Thank you. All right, so she's going to inspire us to be as beautiful as she is. Let's go back to this first table. This is called the beet smoothie. Now, as much as you may adore her, you got to be honest here. All right, you can tell by the way, looking in your eyes, whether you like the food or not. So why does this energize you? And we'll taste while you teach. Okay, so... I have no idea why it energizes you because I'm not a doctor, but maybe you could tell us that part. I'll help with that if you tell me what's in it.

When you see steam coming out of your hair, that is not a good thing. That's right. The cast of Growing Pains remembers TV dad Alan Thicke. We were just devastated. All new us. That's coming up tomorrow. Most women, there's nothing, I mean nothing more personal than your relationship with your hair. You heat it, you style it, you stress it out, right? Don't I get this right? It just can't go on living in this hostile environment anymore. So today, I'm giving you my repair for damaged hair with a product that can erase the damage that you've inflicted. But first, I wanted to find out a little more about your current hair status. So I sent my go-to girl, Renata, to find out. Hey Dr. Oz, I am on a hair abuse investigation to find out what women are doing that's causing so much damage to their hair. So what is your relationship with your hair? Okay, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. My hair is my nemesis. It ends galore. I got constant breakage. I hate it because it gets so dry. It's too thin. Look how dry it is. It's really not good. This part's faded up so this part sticks out. The back is all messed up all the time. Getting this part right, there's just so much! How are you abusing your hair? I admit it, I use too much heat. What you been doing to your hair, girl? I don't wrap it up. Hairspray. A lot of heat, a lot of color. Blow dryer. I wash my hair so much. Is this the culprit? That's exactly the one that I use. Yeah, is this the problem? It is. Is this the culprit? Yeah. You're using this and this? I am using both. I confess, I'm a hair abuser. Oh my goodness, Dr. Oz. You heard it here. The damage is real. These folks need a hair repair. I told you not to touch it. That or not, that's something else. Dr. Rocio Rivera is here on behalf of my trusted sponsorship partner, L'Oreal Paris, and together we're going to help repair your damaged hair. So first off, why do women have such a complicated relationship with their hair? What is going on? Well, I'm a living example of the complicated relationship that women have with their hair. As a woman, I love to color my hair, as you can see, style it, but also as a scientist I know exactly that the damage in my hair is caused by those things that I do every single day. So over time as I style it and I use those heating tools, I color it and I wash it, the quality of my hair There are changes. Hair, unlike skin, cannot repair itself. However, there are things that we can do now to repair damaged hair and maintain healthy hair as well. Since you're a world expert, show us a couple of tricks, some hacks to avoid the catastrophes. Absolutely. The uncomfortable relationships we have with our hair. So the first thing that we need to do is start taking care of your hair now. But you don't have to give up any of the coloring, the heat tools that you love. No one has to give them up. There's just some little things that you can do. One, never brush your hair while it's wet because it really breaks the hair. Instead, use a tooth comb. All right, next up. Trick number two. When you use your healing tools, your hair has to be completely dry. When you use it when it's wet, the ceramides, the ceramides are those molecules in the hair that wrap it and keep the moisture in. You kind of destroy them. And one little thing, when you see steam coming out of your hair, that is not a good sign. That's right. You're boiling your hair. Absolutely, yes. It's not a good sign. So use the cooling option in the dryer or air dry it, and then you can go ahead and use your tools. Yes, just drive around with your hair just looking back. Looking beautiful. You also have another hack, which I think is a pretty cool idea. This is the Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Bomb, and you recommend it to folks. And I trust you on this stuff, so why? Use deep treatments while you're still in the shower. The steam in the shower will open the hair cuticles, just like the pores in your skin, and then the treatment goes in and repairs right at the core, just like cement gluing shingles in a broken roof. And I recommend using a balm, actually, in the shower. The L'Oréal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. And why is it better than other ways of fixing your hair? Well, I recommend the entire system, so the shampoo and the conditioner, but the balm is the star of the show. It erases the damage of one year in your hair. So dry, dull, rough hair, weak hair, split ends. Smooth out completely with just one use. And the secret is the ceramides in the formula. We have ceramides that were patented by L'Oreal that replenish your natural ceramides and will make the hair immediately beautiful and perfect. These are the ceramides you boil away if you heat your hair the wrong way. Absolutely. This will bring them back in. So we built a little model for everybody to show how years of styling leads to damaged, dehydrated, and weakened hair. We made you a follicle. You talked about shingles earlier. Yes. This is my version of that. So, this is your hair. Now, watch what happens. When you blow dry it, you use a flat iron, chemically treat it the wrong way, too much color, not the right time, you end up with breakage, split ends, dryness. Do I have it right? Weak hair, rough. You can see why it's rough, your hair, right? See how that's rough? It's not soft. And the split ends, obviously, you predict them, but also, this ruins the body of the hair. You don't get that same shine. All right. So if you use... The Total Repair 5 system, it's like this little wrap. Absolutely. Basting your hair and effortlessly covering it up. So that over time, those broken shingles no longer are visible. And there are a couple of parts that I like a lot. It repairs the hair follicle. And again, the whole hair is repaired. So you can visibly see differences. Now look what happens. It won't break. No, not only won't break, but you don't have those little split ends anymore. The weakness, the dullness, the dehydration, that roughness is all gone. Look how shiny it is, how smooth. Yeah. It's absolutely fantastic, and it's also from the inside out. The ceramides will go in and replenish those lost ceramides. All right, so I wanted to see how well it worked, so come on over. Let's go. We asked two women with damaged hair to try it out for a while. I always like when our audience members confirm what we're hearing on their set. So this is Lucy's hair before, and this is how it looks today. There she is. That's a big difference. Give him a hand, boy. Describe what your hair was like before you started using the Total Repair 5 system. Well, as the picture, that looks really bad. My hair was brittle. It broke every time I would use a flat iron. I dry my hair almost every other day. I use a flat iron every day, sometimes twice a day. So how did the Erasing Balm help with the condition of the hair? Well, my hair looks so much healthier, more natural. It flows easy. I can use a curling iron just once. I don't have to use it twice a day. My daughter also told me how much my hair looks so much healthier. Your daughter told you something nice. Yes, my 23-year-old daughter. That's so rare. I know. So, I mean, you know, she was playing with my hair the other day, and she's like, your hair looks, it feels nice and smooth. So do you want to feel it so you can? I don't want to feel it. It is soft, right? Do you think your daughter's taking some of your Total Repair 5 erasing balm? Most likely. I told her she's not allowed to touch it because it's mine. That's fine. All right. This is Jamie's hair before, and here's what it looks like today. Yeah, a lot of split ends, Jamie. Oh, my God. So, when you use the Total Repair 5 system, what happened?

Then, Alan Thicke shocked fans when he suddenly died. Now his co-stars from Growing Pains are speaking out. We were just devastated. Together, for the first time, in a tribute to the man they all loved. He was so looking forward to the next chapter in his life. All new Oz. That's coming up tomorrow. There she is, our go-to tester and friend of the show and always craving more information. So for today's Wait a Minute Wednesday, I'm taking her order. Is a wrap really healthier? So let's get to it because she's right here. My hot... My beauty is here. The props team has not all wrapped up for a reason, so you got the whole story right in there, huh? Yeah, the whole story's right up in here. I just need to know once and for all, is it bread or is it the wrap that's healthier? All right, so unwrap yourself and let's look at this. Ready? Here's the story. It's a big reveal. Two slices of bread, 70 to 280 calories, right? And how about tortillas? The high range of that, 170 to 200 calories. Really? Surprised? I'm very surprised. Very surprised. Toss that off and I'll show you why. Okay, yeah, let me just toss it off. Okay, sachet. It's like Cinderella. She's sachet across. So, it's not the whole story. Let's go through what's going on here. I guess it comes up all the time. The wrap you're eating may have a wrap sheet, literally. Wraps are highly processed, a long list of ingredients, and you don't want to have all that stuff. There's another problem, too. It's the surface area of the wrap. It's the equivalent, by the way, because it holds so many condiments. I'm having your own pizza. Shut up. The same number of calories as your own personal pizza. Wow. What do you think? That's ridiculous. Yeah. And we're being told that tortillas are more healthier? Yeah, not quite. And here's the biggest problem. Come over here. I'm going to ask you a question because you weren't saying which sandwich should you pick. Yes. So I've put them here. Which one do you think has more calories? This is like a bowling ball filled up with food. It's huge. It's huge. And there's two dainty pieces of bread. And you can even get the Ezekiel bread. It's on the lower side of that calorie list I gave you. It's good to go. Which one did you pick? I'm going to go for my two slices of bread with toast. Clink, clink. I'm going to join you as well. Love your question. Everybody remember, happy and healthy starts at home.
