DR. IAN SMITH. DR. IAN, THANK

ABOUT YOUR BOOK CLEAN AND LEAN.
YES. NOW DO YOU REMEMBER YES.
THAT WAS MY LAST BOOK. GOT A
NEW BOOK OUT CALLED
THE UNSPOKEN WHICH IS A MYSTERY
SO PEOPLE CAN CHECK THAT OUT.
IT'S A FUN KIND OF THRILLER
SUSPENSE ON AMAZON AND BUT YET
IT'S BEEN A WHILE. AND A LOT OF
CHANGE NOW I'M WRITING A GREAT
SHOW. THE DOCTORS WERE SO
EXCITED. WE HAVE A BIG
PRODUCTION TEAM THAT THAT'S
WORKING REALLY HARD TO GIVE
THE COUNTRY A SHOW THAT I THINK
IT BADLY NEEDS. WE NEED A VOICE
THAT'S CALM AND STABILIZING,
GIVING SCIENCE TYPICALLY BASED
ANSWERS NOT POLITICAL ANSWERS
ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS A
COUNTRY, AS INDIVIDUALS, AS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. YOU NAME IN
ORDER TO BE HEALTHIER AND GET
THROUGH THIS ON THE OTHER SIDE
IN A POSITIVE WAY. YES. SO
SEASON 13 PREMIERES ON
SEPTEMBER 21ST. WHAT CAN
VIEWERS EXPECT? YOU JUST KIND
OF GAVE US A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK
BUT WHAT CAN VIEWERS EXPECT?
ONCE A REVAMPED SHOW WE HAVE A
LOT OF NEW SEGMENTS WE'RE JUST
NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT DISEASE
AND TREATMENT BUT WE WILL TALK
ABOUT SOME OF THAT OBVIOUSLY
WHERE THE DOCTORS WHERE WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT COLBERT ALL
ASPECTS OF COLBERT FROM
VACCINATIONS TO TREATMENT TO
MASK TO DATING DURING COLBERT
TO REMOTE LEARNING EVERYBODY
TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT LOOK AT
OVERALL WELLNESS. RIGHT. SO
LAUGHTER IS MEDICINE. MUSIC IS
MEDICINE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE
MUSICIANS ON THE TALK TO US AND
SING TO US. WE'RE GONNA HAVE
COMEDIANS COME ON AND TALK
ABOUT THINGS THAT A LOT OF
PERSPECTIVE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
HUGE BOOK CLUB WHERE WE'RE
GONNA PICK BOOKS THAT PEOPLE
CAN ESCAPE IN. SO A LOT OF
FICTION AND I WENT OUT A WHOLE
READING LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS
EVERY MONTH CHILDREN'S BOOKS,
HEALTH AND FITNESS COOKBOOKS
YOU NAME IT. SO WE REALLY WANT
TO PROVIDE A BIGGER SHOW WHERE
EVERYONE CAN FIND SOMETHING
THAT THEY LIKE ON THIS SHOW
EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT WILL
CHANGE THE LIFE FOR THE BETTER.
YEAH. IN SEASON 13 FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND IT'S REALLY ABOUT
TAKING YOUR POWER BACK RIGHT.
TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS. YEAH.
IT'S ABOUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU REALLY
STORE POWERFUL IN A TIME THAT
WE FEEL VERY POWERLESS. AND
UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES
HOPELESS THAT THERE IS HOPE,
THERE IS POWER. AND SO WE'RE
GOING TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THOSE
AREAS IN THEIR LIFE WHERE THEY
CAN ACTUALLY REGAIN THAT POWER.
YOU KNOW, WE DO A SEGMENT
CALLED THE PIVOT AND IN THAT
SEGMENT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO MAKE
A PIVOT IN THEIR CAREER OR A
PIVOT IN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE
BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES
AND THEY'RE VERY INSPIRATIONAL
STORY. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO
EMPOWER PEOPLE. BUT WE'RE ALSO
GOING TO GIVE PEOPLE THE BASICS
OF HOW TO SURVIVE, HOW TO
IMPROVE THEIR NUTRITIONAL
PROFILE AND INTAKE, HOW TO
IMPROVE THEIR EXERCISE. THINGS
THAT WE NEED TO REGAIN OUR
POWER AND FEEL LIKE WE HAVE
MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT'S GOING
ON. DR. AND MUCH OF YOUR FOCUS
AS A DOCTOR ON HEALTH AND
WELLNESS AND DIET KEEPING A
HEALTHY AND STRONG IMMUNE
SYSTEM IS REALLY KEY DURING
THIS PANDEMIC. AND AS WE
APPROACH FLU SEASON, ANY TIPS
OR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE CAN
STAY HEALTHY AND ACTIVE REALLY
DURING THIS STRESSFUL TIME?
YEAH, THE NUMBER ONE THING IS
TO GET THE FLU VACCINE. YOU
HAVE A LOT OF MYTHS ABOUT
THE FLU VACCINE. THE FLU
VACCINE DOES NOT CAUSE THE FLU.
IT'S A DEAD VIRUS SO IT CAN'T
QUITE CAUSE THE FLU. WHAT IT
DOES IS IT PRIMES YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND IN
THE EVENT THAT YOU DO SEE FLU
STRAINS THAT WERE CONTAINED IN
THE VACCINE. BUT YOU KNOW,
THE FLU VIRUS AND CODED YOU
KNOW THEY CAN INFECT THE SAME
AREA AS OUR RESPIRATORY TREAT
AND YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE
BOTH. BOTH OF THESE VIRUSES AT
ONCE. IT CAN REALLY OVERTAKE
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND LEAD TO
SOME BAD CONSEQUENCES. SO
THAT'S NUMBER ONE. PEOPLE NEED
TO EAT BETTER, YOU KNOW, LESS
PROCESSED INGREDIENTS, LESS
ADDED SUGARS. EAT MORE WHOLE
GRAINS, MORE FIBER AND PROTEIN.
AND THEN OF COURSE MOVEMENT.
STELLA, PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE. I
KNOW A LOT OF GYMS ARE STILL
CLOSED THAT THE PARTIALLY OPEN
PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS TO GO TO
GYMS. THAT'S OK. DO SOMETHING
OUTSIDE. USE YOUR STEPS IN YOUR
HOUSE TO GO UP AND DOWN. THAT'S
A GREAT WORKOUT. JUMPING JACKS,
JUMPING ROPE. BUT ALL THESE
THINGS WILL HELP BOOST YOUR
IMMUNE SYSTEM ALONG WITH
VITAMINS C AND VITAMIN D.
THAT'S GREAT ADVICE, DOCTOR.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US. SEASON 13 OF
THE
