This week, Dr. Ro delivers a health and humor power-hour!

First, get your Health Moment on two critical subjects:

• The Sugar Trap: Dr. Ro reveals how a "sweet tooth could be aging you" by exposing hidden sugar in common foods like salad dressing and yogurt. Learn how this "quiet little thief" triggers glycation, which stiffens collagen and accelerates wrinkles. She offers smart swaps and issues a 7-day no-added-sugar challenge.

  
  

• Gut Check: Discover why your gut is your "second brain" and how it influences everything from your metabolism and immunity to your mood. Dr. Ro provides five essential fixes, including eating 30 plants a week, adding one fermented food daily, and implementing the 12-hour overnight gut reset.

  
  

Then, Dr. Ro welcomes special guests: award-winning "Indie Mom of Comedy" Michele Norris (known for intertwining standup with social activism) and her writing partner, comedian/actor Mike Troy (writer for the Chris Rock Comedy tour). They discuss their creative partnership and their show, Mothers Know Best, Fathers Just Know Less, a project that uses fearless humor to normalize and "poke fun at" the fact that "parenting is a social experiment" that no one completely figures out.

• Hidden Salt & Heart Health: Discover how 70% of the salt we eat is hidden in packaged foods like bread and salad dressings, not the salt shaker. Dr. Ro shares how to master flavor without the sodium using herbs and DIY vinaigrettes to protect your heart.
