Today is my birthday. What I know for sure is this: age adds years, but life adds depth.
And that depth is the true gift I celebrate today.

Health “buzzwords” spread faster than facts. From social media to the doctor’s office, words like ‘inflammation’ and ‘detox’ sound simple but can mislead.
Are they helping us…or just hype?
Catch me this Thursday, August 28, 2025, during the 3rd Hour of TODAY (9 a.m. ET) as I break it all down.

Every patient deserves this conversation. This morning, I had it live on national TV with a physician, talking prescriptions, OTC meds, and supplements.
Segment coming soon! Meanwhile, here are some behind-the-scenes moments from my NBC Today Show morning.

If you know me and my Survivor story, you’ll get why this moment hits different.
Being part of the Survivor family is one of the real blessings, and now that I’m in, moments like this come with it.

One year ago, I turned in my phone before leaving LA for Fiji to play the game. Six weeks completely offline.
One of the best things I ever did, and I didn’t expect to appreciate it this much.
So I’ll ask… when’s the last time you totally unplugged? If you haven’t, give it a try. It’s worth it.

There are moments in life when you realize you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, doing exactly what you’re meant to be doing.
Yesterday was one of those days.
I’ve heard from many of you, and the message landed. For those who needed to hear it, I’m so glad it did.
Every second was worth it.

I’m excited to be headed back to Studio 1A this week for the 3rd hour of the TODAY Show!
With Father’s Day around the corner, we’ll be talking about men’s health and the health tests you need (including some you have probably never heard of) that could save your life.
See you Thursday morning!

Whether you loved me, liked me, were neutral, or firmly in the “not a fan” camp—thanks for watching.
Thanks for the love, the roasts, the hate, memes, and everything in between. I learned a lot, laughed a lot (sometimes at myself), and had the experience of a lifetime.

Kyle, Joe, and Eva arrived at Ponderosa—just hours after the final tribal council. We had our winner, and the season was coming to a close.
After I’d been voted out, I started a quiet tradition: sitting on the steps to welcome each person after they were voted out…

The greatest gift Survivor gives you isn’t the title or the prize—it’s the people.
We shared chaos and unforgettable moments that built real bonds. Since the game ended, I’ve had meaningful talks with each of them.
They get it in a way no one else ever will. That’s the real win.

We got our letters from home, too.
Still on the jury, still in Fiji, still with no contact from the outside world.
I used to think those tearful TV moments you see on Survivor were over the top. But after 5+ weeks with no contact, that envelope hit harder than I ever expected. #Survivor48

Seeing the game from the jury bench hits different. But here’s what you didn’t see: from the moment we started walking up the ramp to take our seats, David managed to hold this exact expression the entire Tribal.
I repeat—these are not serious people.

From the OR to the green room—looking forward to joining the ABGH Summit next week in San Diego.
I’ll be moderating “A Voice of Your Own: Digestive Health in Media & the Arts,” a panel exploring how culture, storytelling, and creativity can shift the conversation—and the outcomes—around gut health.
