The Dr. Oz Show, Emmy-nominated six seasons in a row. Today on Oz, Dr. Oz gets you in the know, now. Controversial topics and trends affecting your health. Dr. Oz puts it in context, breaks it all down, so you know now how it impacts you. Plus... People think you need this in order to stay healthy. The biggest budget boosters to stay healthy, even when you're broke. And I'm gonna prove it to you right now. Coming up next on Dr. Oz. So I want you all to be in the know. So we're starting today's show with the biggest headlines and trending health topics everyone's talking about. Everything you need to be in the know, now. First off, the story that's caught everyone's attention. Tom Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson, has revealed she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Joining me now, I know it's bad news, but there's a lot of hope on this story. Joining me now is executive editor of People Magazine, Kate Coyne. Nice to be here, Kate. And you should all know that Rita spoke to People Magazine exclusively about her condition. So what did she say? Well, it's really a fascinating story. Rita recently was on Broadway and she pulled out of the show and she's now revealing that the reason why she did is because she was diagnosed with breast cancer, has undergone a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. So that operation just happened, but I want you to understand her thought process and what's going on. So first off, what's the prognosis? Well, the prognosis is actually very good. She's surrounded by her husband, her family, her friends, and she's expected to make a full recovery. And a little bit about why she's telling this story. Why does she want to get it out there? Rita has a very powerful message that she wants to be sure to get out there. What happened with Rita was that she actually got a biopsy that came back clear. Doctors told her that it seemed to be fine, that there was a mast, but there didn't seem to be any cancer. And yet, something in Rita's gut told her that she should get a second opinion. And so she did, and the second pathologist found the cancer. So Rita is very adamant now about getting the message out there that getting a second opinion can make a world of difference. In her case, a life-saving difference. You know, I think very often people think you only need to get a second opinion when you've gotten bad news. In her case, she got a good outcome, but she's still decided to get another look at it. I think she saved her life with that second opinion. The story's going to be in tomorrow morning's People Magazine. Yes, it is. Also trending in the celebrity world, singer Pink takes on fat-shaming critics. I don't know if you've seen this story, but if you could give us a little background on it, Kate. Pink attended a cancer benefit, actually, that was honoring a friend of hers. And she wore a black dress. She felt beautiful. She looked beautiful. And yet when she got home, she was stunned to see tons and tons of comments of people just fat-shaming her, body-shaming her, piling on about what they thought was an unflattering look for her. So just so you know, Pink ended her Twitter post by saying, quote, I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous, and crazy strong body is having some much-deserved time off. I'm proud of her for saying that. Folks, I look at that picture, I see a very healthy woman. I don't know what's going on, especially in that context. I want to end fat-shaming now, and you're going to see me take this issue head-on in the next few weeks in a very big way. Fat-shaming doesn't make anyone thinner, it just makes the bully small. Next up, thank you. I feel very strongly about this. We're going to talk about free-range parents. They're under fire again for letting kids play alone at the park. Take a look at this story. Silver Spring, Maryland. The couple called the free-range parents again under fire. For the second time in four months, police have picked up Danielle and Alexander Mayteeb's 6-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son while walking home alone from a park a mile from their house. But this time, instead of bringing the children home, police took them directly to Child Protective Services, holding them for nearly six hours. Now the parents have been charged with unsubstantiated neglect, setting off a firestorm of controversy. The outraged parents defending their free-range belief children should be allowed to explore the world unsupervised to gain greater independence. Children need to take small, manageable risks. They need to be given their freedom. They need to learn how to navigate the neighborhood, how to cross the street on their own in the way that every other generation has built up those skills. So the mom said of her 6- and 10-year-olds, we are shocked and outraged that we have been deemed negligent for granting our children the simple freedom to play outdoors. So I wanted to know what you think. So I asked for feedback on my Facebook page. I got about 10,000 responses in a day. You're pretty anxious to talk to us. Here's what you said. Sherry said, and this is a pretty common response, that she was in favor of letting the kids play outdoors. She said, this is ridiculous. We can't raise our own children. It's not neglect. It's called giving responsibility. And although most of you agree with Sherry, some of you raised concerns. For example, Jennifer said that in today's climate, I think this is irresponsible. And then Wanda added, she said, things are just different now versus when we were kids. I would never allow my kids the freedom that I had as a child. There are too many sick people. So I was curious about this. How many of you think that's true? We've changed a lot. It's just a more dangerous world. So most of you have your hands up. Let me just give you a little insight on this. I was concerned about whether that fact was true or not. So as a doctor, I just look at the information, the data that's out there. It turns out kidnapping rates, they've actually gone down in the last 40 years. They've gone down. Crazily, it's actually safer in some ways. We just hear about it a lot more. However, just to give credence to some of the comments we get, while adoptions are rare, kidnapping is not common, car accidents are not. And with the children playing a mile away from their home, I think that's actually what officials are so concerned about in this case. I thought I'd show you a little picture. This is me and my sister, one of my sisters, when we were kids. My parents, like many of you, told us to go outside and play and then be home before dark. You all get that from your parents? There's some benefits of that. I actually think that has a lot of merit to it. Admittedly, we were on the neighborhood block playing, not a couple city streets away, but it's worth keeping in mind. Next, how many of you saw the story of a 65-year-old woman who's pregnant with quadruplets? Yeah, just broke, just broke. She already has, before this pregnancy, she already has 13 children and 7 grandchildren. That's a lot of people. So who's got to talk about this? Who's got something to say about this? We got a couple folks. Well, since you have the mic, why don't you go first. Since you're small up there, you're next. I think that that is dangerous in so many ways. First of all, she's 65 years old. Second of all, she's going to have 4 babies. That's 4 babies coming out of that old body. Also, in about 10 years, what type of quality of life is she going to be able to give these children? She's going to be 75 and they'll be 10. That's if they actually make it. It's very dangerous having a baby pass, what, the age is 45, if I'm not mistaken? That's going up a lot. And she's 65? But then again, she has a lot of children already, so if somebody can do it, it should be her. So who disagrees? Who actually thinks she should do what she wants? Go ahead, ma'am. Well, Tatas, excuse me. Good afternoon. I totally disagree because I am a believer. And I believe that no one on Earth should tell someone or dictate when they should or shouldn't have a baby. God owns it all. And he is the greatest force there is on planet Earth. And I'm so sorry if I'm in opposition to my friend. But I do believe that if her doctor has allowed her to go this far in her second trimester to procreate, why shouldn't she? I'm going to come back to that because you mentioned her doctor. What's her first name? Cecilia. Who agrees to Cecilia? Go ahead, sir. I think that if God allowed her to get pregnant and have this baby, that's just what she should do. She's in God's hands. God wouldn't allow that to happen if it wasn't meant to be. So let me just come down here. I'm going to push some buttons down here because I'm hearing a conversation. So experts say that getting pregnant is like running a marathon. And people who are younger can run better marathons in general than people who are older. And moms over age 40 have more risk, as you mentioned. And those risks aren't just for the mom. They're actually for the baby. And for multiple pregnancies, it actually becomes an issue. So high blood pressure becomes a problem. The baby's weight being small. In fact, the chances of them getting delivered much earlier than they're supposed to be. So what do you make about that challenge? And I'm asking this not to try to find out what God's mission and purpose is, but remember, these babies were placed there by a doctor. It was not a natural conception. Once again, Dr. Oz, excuse me. Nothing, nothing on planet Earth is impossible for God. Number one, Elizabeth in the Bible was 80 years old. I know we're talking about 2,000 years, like a long time ago. Nothing is impossible. It's not about impossibility. Is it the right thing for those children? Well, Dr. Oz, we're talking about what my belief is because I'm pro-life. And I do believe that if this lady wants to have a child, whether it's by natural conception or if it isn't, why can't she have a child? Who disagrees? Why? Why don't you go? Go ahead. Stan, if you don't mind. Hi. Thank you, Celia. I'm Suzette. Hi, Suzette. What I think is, well, she might be able to have the children, and that's great and terrific, but what I think is really unfair, she's a single mom. She has 13 kids already. So the responsibility when, in another 10 years, as you were saying, how is she going to take care of these kids, it's going to become the responsibility of either her other children or other people in the community. And that's the part that's also not really fair. See, for me, interestingly, and I appreciate all your honest comments, for me this is much more about the doctor. I'm disappointed that a doctor would implant these embryos without appreciating the fact that he's putting a lot of kids at risk. I know this has happened in the past, but I think that's where we as professionals have responsibility. All right. Thank you much. Next, I want to introduce you to a young woman who is making national headlines for being allergic, listen carefully, allergic to water. Alex is 17 years old, and she joins us now for her first television interview ever. Welcome to the show, Alex. How are you? Good. How are you? So there are only about 50 reported cases of people who are allergic to water. I didn't think there were any before I heard about you. And I do appreciate you coming on the show to talk about this. When do these start? Well, the disease becomes prominent usually in puberty. So for me, when I was 12, my first reaction was actually to a hotel pool. And so I initially assumed it was to the chemicals in the water. Obviously, no one jumps to I'm allergic to water. So over a period of two years, it actually progressed and got worse, and I became much more sensitive. I started having reactions to washing my hands and showering and even the rain, humidity, and my sweat. So, you know, it got worse and worse progressively, and it will because it is a degenerative disease. How did you figure it out? I mean, most people would never be able to put the pieces together. Well, it was very frustrating mostly. So it kind of motivated me to figure it out because I wanted to stop the reaction. So I saw five or six specialists and doctors, and they kept telling me it was the chemicals or the hard water or Utah's climate. But I actually started looking into it myself and found the disease aquagenic urticaria, which fit me perfectly. Say it again. That's a mouthful. Aquagenic? Aquagenic urticaria. Yeah. So it's only on my skin, so I can drink water fine. But it had all of the little things that I didn't think may be the disease. Like I have really dry eyes all the time, which is actually a symptom. So I took that to my dermatologist, and he, you know, looked at me like, okay, and brought in a couple more, and they talked about it. And it's the only thing that made sense, so it was the official diagnosis. So what do you do? How do you avoid getting water on your skin? I don't go to many pool parties. I'm going to move this water away from you. Thank you. Accident. Mostly, there are little things you have to do to avoid water, obviously. I don't wash my hands. I use hand sanitizer when I go to the bathroom. I take really short, cold showers because cold water affects me less. And mostly, I just don't do the dishes. What a huge benefit. You must have an umbrella you carry with you all the time. Yes, always have an umbrella. Are you surprised? I mean, you're trending. Everyone's talking about you. Has that caught you off guard? Well, I've lived with it for so long, I kind of forgot it was a big deal. So, yes, it's really surprising. It's odd to see yourself on the Internet. But mostly, it's a good platform to have because I've gotten so many emails from people who have similar diseases to it, and they're grateful that there's finally a face to it and a dialogue about urticarias and people who don't have diseases that are recognized and really need to be talked about and figured out. You said you have a degenerative problem. Yes, sir. It's actually a race. The longer you stay alive and do what's right to keep going, the more medicine will catch up to you. Because we're going to figure out how to deal with a lot of these issues. I'm sure yours will be included. Good luck to you. Thanks for coming on. That's the hope. There's lots of it out there. Hang in there. We're getting closer. I'll be right back. Next, think you need a lot of money to stay healthy and fit? Do you skimp on buying better products to save a buck? From the food you feed your family to gym membership alternatives, simple money-saving solutions and swaps that will make staying healthy easy and cheap. Next. All new on the Emmy-nominated Dr. Oz Show, Teresa Caputo has a gift for communicating with the dead. But... There have been critics accusing you of being a fraud. What do you have to say to them? That's coming up tomorrow on Dr. Oz. I'm going to be giving you budget-boosting tips to stay healthy without breaking the bank. Today, the money coach Lynette Califani-Cox is here with simple money-saving solutions and swaps that are going to make it really easy to stay healthy and do it in a little bit of a budget. Very little bit. And there's a common misperception going on. I brought a little cash with me. That people think you need this. No. People think you need this in order to stay healthy. I don't think this is true. So, Lynette, what is the real health-wealth connection? Well, you're right that the real wealth-health connection is not what people think it is. You don't need a ton of money in order to stay healthy. So, the thing people have to do is change their mindset and think about today and what they're doing now. With your wealth and with your health. Most people think about tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll start a diet. I'll start eating better. Tomorrow, I'll get a raise. I'll make more money. That's not how it's supposed to be done. So, I'm going to share with your audience some tips. And I'm going to prove to them. As a matter of fact, give me that money. I'll tell you what. Yes. As a matter of fact. That's right. You can be healthy. Boost your budget. And I'm going to prove it to you right now. Can I get the money back at all? We'll see. So, let's start with Mindy. Mindy's joining us from the audience. So, Mindy, what sacrifices are you making? Hi. In order to live on a budget, yet I know you're trying to keep your family healthy. Yeah. I have a family. I have kids. And it's really hard to stay on a budget. I totally get that. I've got three kids too. Yeah, it's expensive. It is. So, I wind up turning to processed foods. I can't always buy, you know, lean meats like chicken breast because that's expensive. Right. So, you know, unfortunately, I have to buy processed foods. So, let's go to Lynette's first budget boost. You're going to love this. She wants you to buy the whole chicken, the whole chicken, not the little parts over here that are already pre-cut for you. That's right. Oh, wow. So, here's the deal. I get it that you're busy as a mom. Everybody has work, kids, family obligations, responsibility. But when you're going shopping, you're trading one of two things. You're thinking about convenience factor. And if you want it convenient with these cut-up pieces, you're going to pay more for that. Take two minutes. Just cut up the chicken yourself. You'll save some money doing that. This chicken is going to cost you about $3 less than if you buy all the individual parts. Wow. So, the tip for you to know is that, let's say you're buying it once a week. That's going to be $12 in the course of a month. So, to put some money back in your pocket and to keep it. Which I like. Of course you do. Who doesn't like getting money? So, you do it my way. Okay? You get the whole chicken instead of the cut-up chicken. Okay. I can do that. What? $40. Over the course of a year. It's yours. $60. Yeah. $80. $100. $20. $40. $1. $244. No way. In the course of a year. So, that is really your money, by the way. This is my money. That is for you. I'm going to prepay this thing. So, what are you going to do with $144 to make your family healthier? I'm going to buy a whole chicken. Oh, there you go. Smart woman. Thank you so much. Good. You're welcome. Don't spend it all at once. All right. Lisa is joining us. So, what are you skimping on in order to save you money, although it's hurting your health? Unfortunately, cleaning products. I would prefer organic for my family, my pets, my grandchildren. I can't always do that. If it's on sale and it's unfortunately chemically based, it's in my house. This is out there a lot. actually to make a do-it-yourself natural cleaning product. That's right. I've got an oven in here. Please explain how this works and then put it to work a little bit. Okay. Yeah, we do both. So, here's the deal. You take a cup and a half of vinegar, half a cup of distilled water, drop in some lemon juice. I put, you know, anywhere from four to eight drops in there. That's it. You have a, yes, a very natural, environmentally sound, I might add, cleaning product that will help you to get any appliance in your house clean. So, I want you to test it out. Go ahead, take that spray, and you can spray the front of this oven, which looks a little grimy, and then you'll be able to clean it up a little bit there. Look at how nicely that starts to work there. Oh, my gosh. Didn't that do enough? That might be better than what I've been buying. Is it good? You know what? Hmm. It's not only clean, I think I, what, I think I kind of see something in here. Hmm. I'm seeing some, I'm seeing some, I'm seeing some money in here. You're glad you came to Dr. Oz today, aren't you? I'm really glad I came to Dr. Oz. A whole different kind of experience. There you go. $120 for you. Oh, my gosh. Because that's what you're going to save. Thank you. In the course of a year. Just make it yourself. I love this. Yeah, totally easy breezy. Again. Enjoy it. Thank you. Health and wealth. Thank you. You know, listen, folks. We're giving away money, obviously, to guests who come on the show, but the things we're talking about today are things you can do at your home by following the tips Lynette's offering you. So, come on over here. That's right. Let's talk about the gym. Oh, yeah. It's a big one. I know that although it's probably not the main reason you don't go to a gym, it's a pretty good excuse. It's expensive. The money. Right? It's money. And a lot of times you think, am I going to use it or not? So, you don't want to go that way. Right. Walk us through an alternative to wasting money paying for gym memberships when we don't have the cash. When you don't have to do it. And everybody's on a tight budget right now. We can understand that. So, most people don't realize that you can use electronics. You can use the laptop, the computer at your house. You can get those trainer videos. Frankly, a lot of the top experts in the country, free. Just pop on a YouTube video. You can watch if you want to do yoga, you want to do Zumba, whatever you want to do. Your website, as a matter of fact, as well, has free videos that everybody can watch. Folks, when we have trainers on the show, I just slave over it. I do workouts with them just to get you to do them. And they're free. And totally free. So, when you think about it, this could be a really big money saver for a lot of people because depending on which part of the country you live in, the Northeast is certainly a You could spend maybe $150 a month for gym membership. If you don't do that and if you use the free videos, as well, in place of going to the gym, that's going to save you $1,800 in the course of a year. That's some serious money. All right. And finally, Manini's joining us. Now, she's taking my advice. I'm always telling folks to have green tea. It's a great way to start your day off. It's a healthy choice. So, where do you normally get your green tea? So, I'm a Starbucks girl. And I'm a student on a budget. And I'm hemorrhaging money. And I wish I could stop. Well, you know what? I want this budget boost to apply to anybody who goes out to large coffee chains or tea chains and buys stuff. That's right. It really doesn't matter. But here's the deal. If you're going twice a day, most people don't know this. And most retail coffee chains will offer you this. A discount for a refill if you go that second time. So, keep the cup, okay? Don't just trash it and throw it away or whatever. Take it back with you. When you go for that second time, a lot of chains will give you that second cup, that refill, as little as 50 cents for that second one. So, that's a big money saver. Now, in the scheme of things, you might go, okay, great, you know, 50 cents, whatever. But you know what? You might want to take a look in that lid in there. No. She just loves giving away money. My money. Oh, there is something in there. Oh, my God. All right. I'll take it. Hold on. I'll take it. Oh, yeah. That's real money for you. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Listen, once again, it's not hard to get the money. All you got to do is follow. I did not know, by the way, I could get my darn cups refilled. I'm mad about it. There you go. Now everybody knows. 50 years of mistakes. But listen, you say, okay, oh, it's 30 bucks a month. But 30 bucks a month times 12, that's $360 for the year. So, that's some serious money. All right. Let me add it all up. If you do all these budget pushes together, you can save a whopping $2,424. $24.24. It's all yours. There you go. Follow Lynette's advice. Thanks for being here. Of course. We'll be right back. Coming up next, they could be the healthiest food you're not consuming. Eating them can actually lower your risk of heart disease. Find out the best ways to incorporate them into your diet and how you can change your health for just peanuts a day. Coming up next. Breaking news on what might be the healthiest food you are not eating. But I want to make sure that you start. So, I'm giving the entire audience some of peanuts. We got the peanuts. Bring them out. There they are. A little bit for everybody. Peanuts, peanuts. Who wants some peanuts? Hands up. Throw them out. Nice toss. Oh, I love these. Keep passing them out. Turns out eating these, there's plenty to go around. Eating these can lower your risk of heart disease. So, today, I'm giving you the peanut prescription. How to use peanuts to help you extend the health and life of your heart. I love that you're fighting over the peanuts. Now, once you start eating them, I'm giving you a prescription. Giving you a prescription. Here it is. 20 peanuts at least three times a week. The research shows that just a small amount may lower your risk of heart disease. I can't believe they did a study on it. We showed it now. But the best ways to do that include, well, I'll give you an example. There's one in New York that I think is pretty cool. It's a place that seems to have figured it out. Eat more peanut butter. The easiest way to adhere to my peanut prescription is adding creamy or crunchy, delicious peanut butter to your everyday meals. That's the idea behind Peanut Butter & Co., known for their inventive PB flavors and textures and their all-natural approach. It's easy to make healthy, Oz-approved choices with menu items like peanut butter banana soy milk smoothies, the protein-packed heat-is-on sandwich with peanut butter pineapple and grilled chicken, or classic ants on a log. I'm glad I now have an excuse to indulge in peanut butter multiple times a day because I also hear that it's good for my health. If you're trying to work a few extra servings of peanuts into your diet, peanut butter is a delicious and convenient way to do it. Just remember, 20 peanuts three times a week. The self-proclaimed peanut queen herself, Chris, is here. Hi, thanks for having me. When did this obsession with peanuts start? Well, it started, I actually grew up on a peanut farm in a very small town in Virginia called Wakefield. How cool is that? It's very cool. My dad actually still owns and operates the farm, and so I guess you could say it started from birth. I love peanuts in any form. Peanut butter, peanut, I mean anything. You name it, I love it. I hope you can't overeat them. I've got good news for you and everybody else, all the peanut lovers out there. I told you you have to have 20 peanuts three times a week. That's what this big study showed. But 20 peanuts, well, that's about one tablespoon full of peanut butter. So all you've got to do is have one tablespoon full of peanut butter three times a week to help extend the life of your heart, which I think is pretty easy to do. I think it's pretty easy, and I also think that people think peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or maybe that peanut butter is just for kids, but there's definitely a plethora of ways to add it into your diet. You've got some specials for us. Come on back here. I have something special. These are cool ways to get into your peanut butter diet. What is that? So here we actually have peanut butter pretzel cups that I've actually made a bit lighter. They're in actually wonton wrappers, and I've mixed Greek yogurt and peanut butter together to make the filling. So it's a peanut butter wonton? Peanut butter pretzel cup. I kind of make up my own name for them. I like it. I think peanut butter wonton has a better ring to it, but go ahead. This delicious thing we have here is peanut butter banana bread. That looks good. Which is probably my favorite out of them. And then the last one here, I've actually got a spicy peanut butter chicken empanada. Oh, that's a cool idea. You can use it in savory dishes, too. You can make different peanut sauces. You can make salad dressings with it, throw it in like a stir fry. I think I have a peanut butter problem. You have a peanut butter problem. It's an addiction. The first diagnosed, I'm going to put you in the truth tube. All right, this is a peanut butter and strawberry parfait, which I'm told is one of your favorites. It's one of my favorites. It's a great, like, grab-and-go breakfast. So all you do is mix peanut flour. I'm going to let you dump the honey in there. Honey into the yogurt? Straight in there with the peanut flour. And a lot of people don't know, too, that peanut flour is just a great way. It's also known as powdered peanuts. It's a great way to add flavor without adding a lot of the calories. So we've got that mixed. I like to put it in a mason jar because everything tastes better in a mason jar. And then I just layer it up with, I'll let you do the strawberries, with a little bit of peanut butter or a lot of peanut butter. And then you just do that twice, and it's going to end up like this beautiful thing we have here. Oh, this is the final version. Yeah, which is maybe a little bit prettier than the one that we just did. What do you guys think? Which one do you think is better? I think my first time making parfait. Wait, we haven't added the granola. Maybe we'll make it nicer. You said parfait gone bad. Granola and then some more peanuts on top. So I think we've taken care of your peanut prescription. I love your passion. I'm glad you're a peanut farmer. Keep it up. Thank you. All right, for more recipes, you can go to DrOz.com. We'll be right back. Coming up, recovering from too much time in the sun? Regret those years of overindulging with alcohol? It's not too late to erase the errors of your youth. Easy solutions to turn back the clock and undo the damage you've done. Coming up next. All new on the Emmy-nominated Dr. Oz Show. Teresa Caputo has a gift for communicating with the dead, but... There have been critics accusing you of being a fraud. What do you have to say to them? That's coming up tomorrow on Dr. Oz. I hear it every day. I shoulda, coulda, woulda dropped my bad habits and taking better care of myself. If I only know. Hindsight may be 20-20, but it's not too late to erase the errors of your youth. Today, I'm giving you the power to turn back the clock and undo the damage. Now, my first guest, Anita, like so many of you, made some mistakes in her life. And she brought me some photos of her bad habits. You see how we're having a good time back there? What's she doing? She's sunbathing, which I know I could pick on a lot of you about. So, Anita, tell me about your biggest regrets. Well, I love the sun. I worship the sun. I'll take my beach chair, make sure I'm right in front of the sun. And I guess I still have not kicked that habit. Because, as you see, I just came back from Florida. I'm a little still tan. You have a nice tan. Thank you. What else do you have besides the tans that maybe you don't want to have? Well, I have noticed a couple of years ago that I'm starting to get spots. Now, I don't know if they're age spots or if they're sun spots. I have some here. They're sort of related, aren't they, sun spots and age spots? They come along for the ride. And wrinkles, have you noticed any of them? Maybe a little over here. Those are smile wrinkles. Okay, I'm glad. But the sun does sometimes make them more pronounced. So you want to hit the rewind button and see what you could do to change this? Hit it down. If you rewind, which you all want to do, the best solution for folks who have had a little bit too much sun damage is retinols. Now, I don't know if you know much about retinols. Let me, if I can, educate you and everybody at home, because it's sort of simple to understand. When you get it, you'll never forget it. It's a form of vitamin A. You've heard of that. But the biggest misconception is that all vitamin A products are created equally. That's not the case. What you want to look for very specifically is 0.1% retinol. That's the most effective over-the-counter concentration. And you don't want to get vitamin A derivatives. These are called pro-retinols. They're not a good use of your money. These are weaker versions of the same chemical. I think, frankly, they're probably a waste of money. It's not worth your time. What you do want to do is look at the tube. Make sure you get the real vitamin A, the retinol, 0.1%. Get it in an aluminum tube. It's better preserved that way. You don't want to have sunlight irritate it because it will just deactivate it. You want to make sure you use it at nighttimes only. Again, the sun doesn't help you with it. You want to start three times a week. Can you do that stuff? I can try. You start there. It actually will help, I think, with both the wrinkles as well as the spots. Yes. Thank you. All right. Our next guest, Kelly, very honestly sent me these photos of her biggest regrets. Now, it looks like you had a very good time. Describe, if you don't mind, what's going on back there. Dr. Oz, these are my college years. I was in a sorority. I'm a sorority girl. Every weekend was party, party, party, eat, eat, eat. My parents would say to me, you're going out again? Yes. I'd be like, yep, bye. A little indulging going on there, it looks like. Come on over here. Let me show you what overindulging in alcohol and junk foods might do. You're going to play the liver. Okay. This is all the waste, the stuff you want to get out of your body. The liver helps to make that happen. Unfortunately, when you're putting stuff in your body that your body doesn't like, for example, fried foods and extra beer, processed stuff that's not so good for you, the corn dogs, all those things, you have waste that's created. Your body, the liver, go ahead and pick up the waste. They're not supposed to be there and toss them away. Nicely done. The liver can do that for a while, but as you go through life and you have more of that junk food, more alcohol, keep up, come on. Then this has to happen. After a while, no matter how hard you work, it becomes difficult until, you know what? It's a lost cause, isn't it? You'll never be able to keep up. These toxins, all the things that were in those beautiful pictures, they linger in your body. If you can't get rid of them, some of them turn to the fat in your hips and your waist that you don't want to have, or they irritate other organs, don't feel quite as sharp. They have impacts you don't want to have because your liver can't keep up. What we got to do is reverse that process. Want to go back and try that? Let's do it. Come on over here. Hit the rewind button. Let's see what would happen if you reverse what happened to your liver. Boom. Go backwards. What happens? It tells you to take something that is very important, a liver detox supplement. Walk on over here. I'll show you one that I like a lot. Our trusted sponsorship partner, USANA Health Sciences, makes a product called Hepasil. There's some key ingredients in this. Again, your liver is the organ that's most able to resuscitate itself of all the organs in the body. It was written about in all of our ancient mythology. We somehow figured it out, but it really does help. You can reverse a lot of things that may have happened. Bring yourself back to normal, but if you support yourself the right way. You have milk thistle. It stimulates liver enzymes. You know how you couldn't pick up all that trash? Yes. By trying your hardest. I think you were trying your hardest. I was. The milk thistle actually helps you do that. Okay. Then there's a patented olive oil, which is an olive extract, as well as alpha-lipoic acid. These are antioxidants, everybody, that help remove toxins from the body. We've got a little present for everybody.

Coming up, it's one of life's greatest gifts, being a parent. But it's never easy. Find out how this dedicated father can completely change your relationship with your kids. Attainable lessons anyone can use to better connect with their children. Coming up next. Parenting can be one of life's greatest adventures. And there's no guidebook. But that doesn't mean we have to do it alone. We can learn from each other. And that's why I wanted to bring on my next guest. The lessons he learned while raising his daughter are ones that every parent needs to hear. I'm Paul Giorgis. I love these parenting mantras. Let's start with the first one. Expect, don't accept. Yes. We expected from day one that Jillian would be treated as any other typical child would be treated. And, frankly, we accepted nothing less. We wanted to the best of our ability for Jillian to define Jillian, which is what every parent wants for their child. And it had some ups and downs. We wanted her to fail. We wanted her to fail because we thought that's how you learn. Yeah, of course. You're allowed to fall down, but you're also allowed to get yourself back up. We were very, very big on that. But mostly we did not want her tethered to the perceptions of other people. You mentioned another mantra, which is you have to actually see your child. Just look at them. Really see them. What does that mean? Well, to me, Doctor, it means seeing is active. Seeing requires an engagement and empathy. You see your family. You see your friends. Looking is passive. We look at television. For people to fully appreciate one another involves seeing, not looking. Do not look at my daughter and judge her for what she looks like. Get to know her and see her for who she really is. You've learned a lot of lessons. All of us do as parents. Some of us are challenged in different ways. How can people apply the big message that you have for raising Jillian? I don't like to be preachy, but in our perspective, I think just life really is wonderful. And it certainly is as wonderful as you're willing to make it. But the only way it's as good as it can be is if you allow it. Everybody deserves to be respected. And I thoroughly believe that really we're only as good as the way we treat each other. And that is what Jillian has brought out in me. Just the need for mutual respect, tolerance, understanding that everyone has something to contribute. And Jillian certainly has. You want to meet Jillian? Jillian, come on out. It's really a pleasure to meet you, Jillian. So I've been learning from your father about all things he's learned from you. Has he taught you very much? Yes, he taught me very well. He taught me how to be a lady. And he taught me how to ride a bike. And he taught me how to tie my shoes. And he taught me a really, really good lesson. And he told me that don't be nervous every time. Don't be nervous. Nervous. How's that working for you? Yeah, it's hard to do that here, isn't it? Yeah. I see you're a little emotional about this. Yeah, well I just saw the video of my dad's voice speaking to me. That kind of, I feel happy inside. I kind of feel sad when he said things. So I kind of, I feel deep and happy at home. Let me speak as a father. A lot of the things we do make us feel happy and sad at the same time. So there are lots of things that I'm sure you'll learn about as you have a family. So what do you got in store for yourself? What's next? I'm getting married with my fiance. Congratulations. Oh, that's great. I know Ryan and I have been dating about 10 years. Good. And so what's next is the one step is the honeymoon. Step one. But I know when I get married, I tell my parents. I say, hey, are you ready? And they're going to give me away. And even they have to say, yes, I give Ryan my hand. Remember I talked about pain and happiness at the same time? That's what your dad's going to feel walking you down the aisle. I'm so proud to have met you. Congratulations and good luck with the marriage. Thank you. Be sure to check out Paul Docherty's book, An Uncomplicated Life. We'll be right back. Nominated Dr. Oz Show. Long Island medium Teresa Caputo has a gift for communicating with the dead, but. There have been critics accusing you of being a fraud. What do you have to say to them? See for yourself when Teresa shows you why millions turn to her for hope. I just got the goosebumps. Did you just get the chills? Plus the three things you should eat to live a longer, healthier, happier life. All new Oz. That's coming up tomorrow. Listen up, because I'm about to tell you the dirtiest thing in your kitchen. I'm well armed. Which do you think it is? Do you think it is the dish towel? You think it's maybe the sink handle? Or it's the countertop? Or maybe you prepared the meal? Maybe with the salt shaker. What do you guys think? What's the most contaminated thing we have in our kitchen? It's interestingly split. We have just a lot of folks saying the salt shaker, which unfortunately is not the right answer. It is the towel. The towel. This study, a brand new study, showed that after cooking a meal with meat, even though you can put it on the counter and maybe touch other things, it's the towel that has the most contamination. Of all of these. So be careful about those. Throw those towels in the wash after you use them. Or use paper towels when you're preparing meat. It's a smart move. Okay, now it's time for In Case You Missed It. First, breaking news on what might be the healthiest food you are not eating. Peanuts. New studies show that eating these may lower your risk of heart disease. So today I'm giving you the peanut prescription. And here it is. Twenty peanuts at least three times a week. Or, makes it easier, you can have one tablespoon full of peanut butter three times a week if you prefer. Now the self-proclaimed peanut butter queen showed me her favorite way to fulfill my prescription. It's a peanut butter strawberry parfait. Super simple. Take basic yogurt as you like it. Put a little peanut powder in there. The peanut butter powder mixes in a little more easily than the regular peanut butter. Some honey, much as you desire to taste. And once you mix that up, you put one layer there. Then mix together real peanut butter with some strawberries or any other fruit that you want. Put a little peanut crumble on top and you have a beautiful, yummy, heart-healthy snack that you can share with your family. And finally, please be careful of dubious people online that make it seem like I'm endorsing their products because I don't.
