a few weeks ago, jamie morales was here to show us exercises we could do at work from walking lapse around the building to using your chair for arm dips. then we realized someone might say i can't leave my desk for two minutes. today we have the no excuses solution, the treadmill deck. plus we demonstrate at all natural hair replacement therapy that works for those balding due to genetics age or even cancer treatments. first, do you suffer from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, addiction or maybe you just feel a little empty inside? don't worry.

you're not alone. millions of people suffer and settle for lives filled with poor health, emotional baggage, simply because they don't know how the to achieve a life filled with happiness. but today we're here to help change that by using the tapping solution for weight loss and body confidence. which was written by jessica ortner. jessica joins me now. this is a very interesting book chock full of information. i don't know where to begin with this. tell us what "the tapping solution" is. >> well, tapping also known as eft is a stress relief technique where you tap on acupressure points. user points that help us relax. they're points we know help us relax. you might find when you're stressed you go like this or like this. so what we're doing with the tapping is we're getting very clear on the thought that's creating anxiety. because when you have anxiety, it's not just in our head. we feel it in our whole body.

get clear on the thoughts and you begin to tap on acupressure points sending a calming signal from your body to your brain letting your brain know it's safe for you to relax. you get to the point where you can have that thought that was stressing you out. now it doesn't have the same physical anxiety and now you are in the control seat. now you can decide to think something else to be more resourceful, more intuitive. but when stress is controlling us physically, it's really hard to see all the solutions out there. >> so break it down. this -- when you tap, it has to do with neuroplasticity. >> yeah. so the what we're doing is when we are tapping on these acupressure points because when we have a stress, there's a part of our brain called the amygdala that's fighting off the flight or fight response. we have overproduction of cortisol, adrenaline. nowadays you get a phone call from your producer giving you bad news, you don't have to run away. but your body still reacts in

the same way. so with tapping, you're teaching your brain, teaching your body ta it's safe for you to relax even when you're under -- in a situation where there might be a lot of pressures. >> what you're saying is this helps reduce the stress and might help reduce disease? >> exactly. because when we are sick, the emotions play a big role in this. you know, most doctors agree if you're under a lot of stress, it's going to impact your physical health. it impacts your metabolism, your immune system. it contributes to chronic pain. if we can deal with the stress, our body can do what it's meant to do, which is heal and recover. >> you also use this for weight loss. >> that is a passion of mine because i would have this pattern of jumping from one diet to another. and even when i was losing weight, are it never felt like enough. there was so much stress and so much pain around my body and my weight. i just thought i had to live with it. i thought that was just part of being a woman.

it wasn't till i decided to use this simple tool in front of me to say i want something different. i want to feel free in my body and when we're able to lower our stress, then we have -- we don't have that overproduction of cortisol that contributes to belly fat. we can think clearly and don't feel like cravings are ruling our lives because when we're stressed, a lot of time food is our anti-anxiety medicine. if you deal with stress, you're more resourceful to do all the great things you learn on the show the. >> you said you had it backwards when it came to weight loss. that you thought it was about losing weight to gain confidence. but you said when you found your confidence, it helped you to lose weight. >> you know, so many of us wait to live our lives. we say i will date when i lose weight or be happy or stand up in public. and so here we are creating this jail for ourselves. we're saying nothing can come

till we lose weight. that very jail is stopping us from living our lives. when we're under that pressure makes it harder for us to feel good in our body and to lose weight. that's why the book isn't just about weight loss, it's about body confidence because when it comes to weight loss, it's so objective. what we're all striving for is to feel good. so this book is about stressingless, weighing less and loving more. >> you said in the book also that this is liberated to you look at food as a health tool. instead of as an emotional release. >> exactly. you know, i would feel when i would have a craving, it was a very physical experience and i would have this war in my head, should i have it, should i not have it. i felt like a victim. when i was able to deal with the stress that, put me in control again. then i could make decisions not as a way to fix myself for not being good enough but to thrive and when i was able to make it more pleasurable, then it became sustainable. >> i don't want to limit this

book to just women because men have to deal with stress. by the way, sit next to a table full of men and listen to what they talk about. they're talking about aging, about gaining weight, they're talking about stress at work. so i think this is something that could help everybody. obviously, i'm not wrong because number four on the "new york times" best sellers list. congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> "the tapping solution," something so easy. you teach in the book how to do this and simple ways to start, which can relieve a lot of anxiety. >> just takes a few minutes. >> thank you. can having a treadmill at your desk be the secret to fitness for the workaholic? we'll find out after the break.

you." brace yourself because some new scary research from the mayo clinic says that sitting all day at your desk can actually be as bad for you as smoking. wow. in fact, people who sit for long hours each day increase their risk of developing heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even early death. earlier, i talked with a.y. jacobs who spent a whole year making himself a human guinea pig for practically every diet and trend you can think of as part of research for his book, "drop dead healthy," one of the only habits he embraced even after the book was done was switching to a treadmill desk. he invited us to come watch him walk while he works. >> so why don't you tell us what you stuck with and why you stuck with it? >> well, i had read and the studies show that sitting is really bad for you. you know the phrase, sitting is the new smoking. so i decided it's not good for me to sit all day and write my

books. why not try to write while standing. even better, why not try to write while walking. so i got a treadmill and as you can see, i just made my own treadmill desk. i put these books on it and i put the computer on top. and i wrote the entire book while walking. and it took me over 1,000 miles but i loved it. >> okay. so you didn't do anything fancy. you didn't find a special desk. you just have a piece of wood here that you put a book on. and then you put another book on top of that to make it the right height for you and then you just typed away. >> that's it. you can make your own. now days it's really caught on as kind of a trend. you can buy treadmill decks that cost hundreds of dollars. >> or you could do what you did and it costs a couple bucks to get a piece of wood. >> that's it. this is so much easier to do it

yourself, jerry rig it. i still use it to this day. it's been a year since the book came out. >> the one thing you tried in your book that you kept. >> a couple things but this is the big thing. >> what else did you keep? >> well, i certainly have gotten away from the processed foods. >> that's a good one. >> yeah. and i also one good way to think about it is to eat what's in your fridge. don't eat what's in the cabinet. the cabinet is where the evil lies because that's where the processed foods are and that's what will stay around for 1,000 we're all done, you'll still have the food there. >> there are some critics of walking while writing and typing. they say it's hard to do. did you find it hard to do? >> lis, en, i'm not an athlete. i'm kind of -- i'm the farthest thing and if i can can do it, i figure everyone can. i walk -- you don't have to walk fast. you can walk super slow. >> how's come you're not typing while you're talking with me?

>> you can't walk and talk and type? come on. >> but anyway, yeah, i find -- and the other criticism people have, you're going to get so tired, i actually find it invigorating >> really? >> yeah, because the more you walk, the more energy you have. it's not like you get tired and you have to take a nap. and quite the opposite. >> hmm. sometimes when i'm walking around the city, you get tired and want to take a nap. >> okay, that's true. but i'm not walking superpast. >> there's no stress. not like you're watching out for cars or other people so you don't have to focus on that. all you're focusing on really is the typing part because the walking comes naturally. >> and you know when i really want to take a nap is when i sit down at my desk and start tapping. >> and you want to drink. you want to drink and pick and eat at stuff. >> exactly. >> i think this would curb your appetite a bit. >> totally because are you so focused on this. i used to get antsy when i sit down, i want to walk around and

fidgit. >> do you find clearer thinking? >> i do. there was a great study that says that people who use -- who walk while they work are more creative. i hope that's true. for me, do i feel it because you know, you've got the blood flowing. >> how much did you lose? >> i lost 20 pounds. >> so your wife is happy. >> she was happy. >> all right. i want to try. >> yeah, absolutely. >> i want to see if i can do this. >> how's that? >> you're not actually going slow. this is actually pretty quick. >> i alternate between superslow. >> hi, my name is it carol. i am walking while writing. what's not so bad. that last one was then i see you can't type and talk. if you're focused on this it, it's not so bad. what are we supposed to take out of your book? >> it would be great if everyone could use this. i realize it's not always possible but you can also get great benefits if you just get

up out of your seat every 20 minutes and walk around for a minute. >> people forget to do that. you're supposed to look up every 15 minutes and i forget if i'm doing something. it's better to just be doing it all the time, right? >> i love it. i know some offices might not have the it, but an increasing number do have the spays for treadmill desks. >> thank you for letting us into your office. >> i loved it. >> now you have to pry me away from this because i'm relaxed and talking. we should do all my interviews like this. >> i'm going to take a nap. >> thanks, a.j. >> thank you. are you concerned about thinning hair? i mean i don't know a guy or woman who isn't. if so, don't want to miss my next segment. stick around.

welcome back. going bald can be a scary thought for anyone but it's also extremely common. i mean thanks to genetics, age and certain diseases, it may sound vain, but it's not. millions worldwide are dealing with the same issue. so what if i said that new technology is allowing balding people to grow their hair back naturally and it won't cause any side effects? recently, elaine magliacano of anagen hair solutions explained it all to me. >> have a look at this. >> elaine, you've come up with an amazing new way to regrow hair that i find utterly fascinating. can you tell us a little bit about it. >> okay. it's a low level laser. it's a class 3a. so it's cosmetic, not medical. and what it does is it actually stimulates the blood flow to the follicle to stimulate hair growth and to stop future hair

loss, as well. >> so i know it has something to do with dht. >> die hydrotestosterone accumulates around the follicle. what it does over timers the follicle anschutz it down and the follicle doesn't produce hair anymore. >> so is it that this blood coming in basically rinses away some of this dht? >> the blood flow gives you more cellular turnover. when your cells are turning over more quickly, the dht seeds from our body, any oils doesn't have a chance to accumulate around the follicle. >> basically rinsing it away and allowing hair the freedom to grow. >> yes. >> it's like a light hat that you put on. >> like an owed fashioned hair drier. >> right, exactly. >> what it does is actually we do incorporate products along with it to speed up results. >> what kind of products do you have. >> metaceutical. their products are designed for scalp disorders as well as hair

restoration. >> so as the a shampoo? we have shampoos, supplements, hair growth stimulators. we have hairspray conditioners. as long as they're using these products along with the laser, the results are more quick. >> did you use it? you have an amazing amount of hair. >> i do use it and i sit under the laser twice a week. >> you have to do it a year to get results? two years? a half a year? what's the average? >> the average is around eight months to a year because our hair goes through cycles. ewe have the anagen stage which is the growing stage, then we grow into the resting stage. that could last two to six months. then we go into the tele-jen stage which is our shedding stage. that's another two to six months. then the cycle starts again. that's why it takes at least eight months to a year to actually see visual results. >> and how many times a week do you need to come? >> usually twice a week.

20 minutes to 30 minutes a session. >> then after that, it should just be their hair is doing their thing and you should come back six months, five months. >> yes, for maintenance. >> i know you have a client here now, marie. she is under the laser right now. >> yes into so if you don't mind, i'm going to scoot around the corner because she said she wouldn't mind talking to us about it. i want to get it from the horse's mouth from one of your clients. shoo she has great results. >> slept. excuse me. i'm running >> thank you. >> hi, marie how are you? >> fine, come on in. >> do you mind if we join you for a second? >> no, not at all. >> thank au. >> so i saw your before and after pictures of your hair. >> it's unbelievable, isn't it, the difference? >> it is unbelievable. what made you believe this was going to work? >> oh, my god, my hair was falling out. i was getting bald spots in certain areas and i didn't know what to do.

so then someone told me about this place. and i came and in a year, it takes time. it's not going to happen overnight. it started to grow. this is the longest my hair has ever been. >> so you just come and sit under this. >> alf ha hour. >> it's a light therapy. it stimulates your blood to come to your follicles i'm probably talking of things you don't care about. all you care is your hair came back. >> that's it. that's all i wanted. >> it took a year? >> you know, you saw progress, but it's the best it's been now. >> now you're in your intermittent so you come periodically. >> it's well worth the time. >> can you let us see your hair? >> sure, it's better than it was. >> it looks perfect. >> there was no hair here at all. >> really? >> yeah, it was au bald. and i would try to cover it with my whatever harry had left. >> female comb over? >> yes, it was bad. >> but it's great now. >> it's much better than it was.

>> excellent. i know you're on your lunch break and got 0 run back to work. i so appreciate your talking to us about the results you got. >> thank you very much. >> coming up, i let you know about the good, the bad, and the ugly. in today's "ask carol." so stick around. my name is karen and i have diabetic nerve pain. it's progressive pain. first that feeling of numbness. then hot pins. almost like lightning bolts, hot strikes into my feet. so my doctor prescribed lyrica. the pain has been reduced and i feel better than i did before.

welcome back. today's ask carol question comes from michael. he says, my girlfriend and i were in a spa. i wanted to get massages and she for bid me to do it. she said she thought it was day. what do you think about getting massages at a spa? >> this one hits really close 0 home, michael, because i used to be a fan of good deep tissue massage. a few months back, i had a very bad experience at the spa. the masseuse was putting a lot of pressure into my back with

her elbow. i felt a little discomfort and told her to back off and she did. immediately i felt better. fast forward to later that day. i was in agony. oh i went to the doctor and found out that that discomfort i felt was when she had slipped off my sciatic nerve with her elbow and in doing so, she cracked a rib, for the prima facie and dislocated three ribs. plus, i was in bed for a month. so, since i'm now biased, i went to my or though buy on mist, gary williams for an answer. and he said this. as in anything in life, let the buyer beware. people think that massage is a benign form of body work because it's therapeutic but like any therapeutic art, there are times when it's wonderful to get one as well as times you should hold off till another time. massage increases circulation both locally in the body and systematically.

so you wouldn't want to massage directly over a bruised area, for example, because it would be more painful thanks to heightened circulation. you should stay away from massages when you think you might be catching a cold or flu and also after drinking alcohol. these are times when the circulatory effect works against you. another thing to consider is your massage therapist should gauge what level of comfort at the beginning and throughout the session and adjust the pressure as you request. you're not there to just take it. you request the therapist to lighten up and they don't listen, sit up and terminate the session. just remember, the word spa is not synonymous with expert. and by the way, one last tip, find a good masseuse who gets to know your body gradually and stick with them. less chance of getting hurt. i hope that sheds some light on your girlfriend's fears. if you have a question, just send it my way via facebook or twitter. but for now, the show is over.

i hope you enjoyed it. and are learning to to be more of "a healthy you." i'm arthel neville. cease fire in gaza officially over. palestinian militants firing several rockets into israel single-handedly ending the truce and rejecting israel's call for an extension. con are powell with more. conner? >> arthel, since the end of the temporary cease fire we have seen at least 15 hamas rockets be fired from gaza into israel. a clear sign that the extension of that cease rejected by hamas as we also got official word from hamas's leaders. now the temporary cease fire, the 12-hour cease fire did hold throughout the day
