Inside Our Country's Food Crisis: Make America Healthy Again

Dr. Phil speaks to two women who illustrate the importance of the Make America Healthy Again initiative, and the problems with diet and nutrition in our country. Both women say they came from poverty-stricken families and have never had healthy relationships with food- one woman has been diagnosed as obese since she was in elementary school, the other has a severe case of type 2 diabetes that she developed at age 25. Both of their children also suffer from chronic illness- and they live together as roommates. They’ve both been on a weight-loss journey in the past year and want advice and guidance on how to help themselves and their children.

[Encore] Restoring Health For America’s Future: Make America Healthy Again

Dr. Phil discusses a chronic illness epidemic sweeping the U.S. with Calley Means, of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, fitness expert. The health of American children is under attack- and its biggest threat is a basic need, food. Research is showing that ultra-processed foods are linked to the chronic illness epidemic that is sweeping our nation. More than 40% of school-aged children and adolescents have at least one chronic health condition, such as asthma, obesity, and behavior/learning problems. Less than 1% of children eat ideal meals. Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what a typical adult eats- and nearly 70% of what children eat. Dr. Phil speaks to Calley Means, co-founder of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, board-certified MD and nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, a fitness expert and trainer to weigh-in on this uniquely American crisis.

Gone Without Goodbye: The Truth About Suicide

Tonight, we confront one of the most urgent and heartbreaking crises of our time - suicide. It knows no boundaries. Suicide touches every family, every community, and too often leaves loved ones with more questions than answers. Every 11 minutes, an American takes their own life. It’s the leading cause of death among our youth. Why is nobody listening when our children are screaming for help from the edge? In harrowing cases, children have reached a desperate breaking point, crying out for intervention—yet some schools remained silent and the adults in the room failed to act. How do these tragedies unfold, and what does it say about the systems meant to protect our youth? Dr. Phil will peel back the layers of a devastating failure and search for answers that might save many more lives.

[Encore] Roofied On The Rise

Drink spiking is on the rise and extremely underreported. More than 90% of people who suspected their drink was spiked didn’t report the incident to the hospital, police, or venue. Nearly 11 million women in the US have been sexually assaulted while drunk or drugged. Drink spiking is so common yet so underreported due to lack of awareness, shame/embarrassment, memory loss, fear of retaliation, lack of evidence and or legal/social barriers. 50% of women and men surveyed had their drink spiked at least once. 37% had their drinks spiked multiple times. 72% of people don’t know what to do in a spiking situation and when victims DO go to the hospital they’re often turned away unless there are signs of rape or assault. These drugs are sheer assault weapons and can be used for serious crimes. They are very expensive to screen so while you can get screened for marijuana in almost every medical facility, most hospitals don’t have screens for some of the most common date rape drugs: Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB. We’ll hear from several people who say they were roofied and it was way worse than any hangover – symptoms of vomiting, blacking out, low pulse, weak heart rate and shallow breathing. We’ll feature a test strip demo and other solutions.
