Have You Had Your Oprah Moment?
Did you know that many people who are successful with a major health behavior change (losing weight, exercising, eating better) are that successful because of what can be called an "Oprah moment"?

This moment is a turning point in your life at which you realize you simply have to make that change.

It could be the birth of a child (or grandchild), a health scare or some similar major life event.

They call it an "Oprah moment" because the story you would tell on the Oprah show would involve that moment as the inspiration for transformation.

In this segment, special guest, Dr. Brian Parr, helps you find your Oprah moment.
