Will Smith's Emergency Family Meeting

a little nervous. I'm not sure what's going on, but he wanted to share it with you. All. Right, here we go. Thank you all for coming. This is the first ever emergency red table. Uh huh. Remember when when you guys were growing up, when we would do the circle of safety and what the circle of safety was like anything you said. Once we called and established the circle of safety, you couldn't no, no, you couldn't get in trouble for it. Right are we establishing We got

we're gonna steps. So the way we used to establish the circle of safety, everybody would say a curse word. Remember that, And that was how the kids wouldn't know that it was safe because if they didn't get in trouble. They didn't Jaden begin um you do. All right, So we have established our circle of safety, and I would like to talk to y'all. Shall we move to the table. All this is my first official Yeah, this is like yeah, yes, this is like the first. All right, thank you all

for coming to the table. So last month we were all on vacation. Vacation is on now Jaden is here. You remember the chef was making these incredible muffins. Wake up in the morning and I was usually up the earliest, and I would have like, you know, multiple I would have like four muffins. Well what he was doing is he was making them hot, right, so they were coming out hot. So for breakfast, I was having in the four or five muffins. You know, I'm hadding was successful.

So I was like my friend and my friend, you know. Then for lunch, I would have like a Moscow mule, little little vacup. That was pretty much my routine for the TWN days you saw. I would wake up, eat five muffins, and go back to see And then if you recall, Jada and Willow made up a name. They started calling me Pudge Muffin, and I'd gotten up to two pounds, and it was the most I'd ever weighed in my adult life. I got to three on Ali

and I got to five on the muffin boat. But we are your feelings are because we didn't mean, you know what. I think that's what families for. Yeah, because you're usually so, you know, and I was shape. You know. It was a cute little name. Pudge Muffin was cute. Yeah. Yeah, we didn't didn't respect or anything. I don't want to be a pudge muff into my family. Yeah, you can't put the fad of the family with h How did you feel getting on the scale and seeing how much

you weigh? I didn't like being to five. Why I've never been to five and I've I've lived most of my adult life and certainly my professional career in brilliant muscular condition. So I came home and I was like, that's it, Well, back into your discipline mind. I'm going to fast for ten days. I did it, and I got to about four days, and I and um, right,

because I was still taking my blood pressure medicine. So I started checking my blood pressure and my blood pressure was way, almost dangerously low, So I stopped taking my blood pressure medicine, and my blood pressure normalized for the ten days, and I felt as good as I had ever felt, and I started thinking. I was like, so, wait a second. So I've been taking blood pressure medicine for almost a decade, and I was like, so, do do I have high blood pressure? Or was I eating

myself into high blood pressure? Got it? I had the epiphany that I actually don't know anything about food. All of the time that I had trained, and I know how to eat to make my body look muscular, but I actually don't know how to eat to feel good. I don't know how to eat to be healthy. So you would only eat for your physical appearance and not for how you feel. I felt dead shot, was probably the tightest and the leanest that I've ever been, but I had headaches all the time. But I was like,

it's cool because I'm squeezing down, squeezing my body. I look great. And I couldn't believe that I got to fifty years old without knowing. You literally are what you eat, right Like. Nobody talks about food like that. Nobody really teaches chill Aldren people in general about nutrition. Nutrition. Not a lot of kids know about their parents health or even their health. Nutrition is one of the hardest things

for me to understand. I just even remember in nursing school, like nutrition is the worst for a lot of them. It's so complex. It's like one thing can be good for you, right, but if you eat it at three am and then go to sleep, now it's not. No, it's not good. I eat food like an addict, so food is your drug. I love food, but I realized my relationship with food was I eat for fun. I eat for joy, right, And Mommy had always said she was like, you know, I don't really eat for fun

for taste, and I don't need for fun. I was like, that's ridiculous. You don't understand food. Yes, you eat for fun, but you're eating patterns too. Can you explain some of the strange are you? You go from chocolate cake to broccoli to a banana to peanuts, two Cashew's and dried pineapple to ice cream literally within fifteen minutes. Yeah, but that sounds like boredom. So I get bored and I

start to eat. I realized that I'm a grazer. I put something in my mouth and every thirty minutes all throughout the day, and working rather not eating, rather not eat it's uncomfortable. My big problem is all wake up in my stomach is hurting. I don't want to eat breakfast. My stomach hurt. Will and I had a bit of an intervention with Jade because he's a vegan now, but we realized he wasn't getting enough protein so he was wasting away. He just looked drained. He was just depleted.

He wasn't getting there was even a little greatness yeah, to to his skin, and we got really nervous. Yeah, but you're definitely looking better now. I also just want to say that I'm vegetarian that tried to because because people are getting very specific about we see eating pancakes. I'm vegetarian. You know, I've tried to eat vegan meals. I'll go vegan for a week or so, but I'm for the past year, I've been vegetarian. But everything guys

to say is right, right. I was just eating like two meals a day, you know, and maybe one maybe just that one big meal, and I'm like, oh, you know, I didn't get now and now I'm like, that's crazy to me. It's amazing how everybody just has a different relationship. It's so great you brought this up, Will, because we all have issues with food in this family. When we were working out crazy like that, I had the same exact thing. My stomach never felt good. I was always

like lethargic, I had gas all the time. Never felt like, well, maybe you've always had no but it was it was different. It was different. I was eating just for my physical appearance, but I was feeling terrible for me. I have so much stomach upset. Like, I have an incredibly sensitive stomach, and I just can't figure out which food do what because it just seems like everything upsets my stomach. So I just eat it and then deal with the upset.

Let's see, that's think game. Because I have a sensitive stomach too. That's why you see how limited my eating is. You don't eat nothing. Yeah, I eat the same thing every day because that is the food that brings me peace, keeps my stomach calm, because everything else just agitates it and upsets it. Since we're at the red table and we're gonna just put stuff on the table, how many times do y'all poop in the course of the day.

Oh my god, it depends. I can go three days when you have to poop down, you might want to take a look at that. That is not good, and that's why your farts smell like that. That's why we're at the Red Table. When I was young girl, I would no problem three days without pooping. But the beginning of last year, I started like being really regularly three times a day. For me, that's what you want to. Never go to the bathroom two times in one day, really, never. Never.

So this is the perfect segue for why we are here at the Red Table. I'm hooking up a Smith family health intervention. Awesome. I like this as a squadron for our family and for the world. We want everybody to join. I feel that first and foremost food is medicine, and I feel that people can lead happier lives if they understand what we're putting in our bodies. So we have a special guest that we're bringing to the table to come and assist each of us individually. Wow, I've

been wanting that. Meet Mona Sharma. Fifteen years ago. She was sick, suffering from anxiety, forty pounds overweight, and has survived two heart surgeries. Desperate to save her life, Mona discovered how to lose weight, reduce her stress, and transform herself into the picture of good health. Today, she's a renowned nutritionist determined to help as many people as she can. Get ready, the Road to good health starts with fifteen

key questions. So everyone, this is Mona Mona Sharma, and uh you were like in the bag, went, oh my god, there's so much My head is just coming back there. I'm so excited to be here. You know, this is really my life work. It's interesting. You look healthy, you look vibrant, your thin, you look fit, and yet you guys describe feeling weak, feeling frail, feeling having no energy. Yeah, we figured out how to look a certain way. Yeah it's crazy because you can be super skinny and be

so unhealthy. Yeah, it's crazy. Absolutely. So you know, I went through about ten years in my life where I was stressed, I was overweight, I was put on beta blockers for a heart condition and too heart surgeries. Yes, But when I was like four de pounds heavier and eating garbage, I was like, what is wrong with this picture? This is not how I want to feel. So my job is to help you know what allows your body

to thrive using food as medicine. Right. Whenever I see new clients, I always begin with using a series of very detailed questions so that I really understand more about their health but also their mindset. I want you to be so rudely honest, but let's get started with these. Okay. The first thing I want to know for me, guys, is how do you feel when you wake up the morning? Tired? Tired? Yea, yeah, generally I have to work. I've never ended up like

not me. I usually wake up and I'm good. Oh wow, I wake up and I'm ready to get up and go fel I've been waking up ready to like rock. I wake up tired with aches and pains, my neck and my back. Not that, but I've lived most of my adult life stunt training and all of that. I always hurt any physical or emotional trauma. In the past five years, I went through a really crazy relationship thing that happened that was in the emotional trauma. Anything that

affected you causes caused stress totally. I'm always stressed. I feel like she's always stressed, as she's always tired. She's the most tired person I've ever met. But I think it's more emotional than than physical. A lot of times

I think it's emotional and it manifests physically. What happens over time when we deal with digestive issues, headaches, trauma, what's happening in her life, little things living with pain that becomes part of your DNA, that becomes part of your thoughts, says what kind of information then starts going to yourselves. Nervousness, anxiety, worry, don't knock off the raptors on a scale of one to tend tending major stress,

Where do you find your stress? Typically? I have anxiety, So like my stress, I'll go from zero to nine like instantly, and I'll just be like, and then I'll go back to to I'm probably on a consistent five, I said. Consistent feels like a seven to we would say you're resting state of stress. As a seven, I can have that. I'll take your five. Um, Like right before coach and I was not doing good. I feel like I was at like an eight of stress. You

weren't looking good at the time. I wasn't looking good, I wasn't feeling good, sleeping, I wasn't sleeping. I also had that one time where like I threw up that whole day. Make was upset. That happens twice at the other time in Australia to where I was in so much pain in my stomach in the emergency room. That's one of those things where like they just give you like some pills. That scared me. They never I was about to hop on the plane to Australia, like I'll

be damned. Some of my family would say that, I would call me quote unquote high strong. I disagree. Oh no, definitely, you're vehemently disagree. Well, you're high strong. Yeah, so stress can manifest in some pretty intense ways, right, yes, definitely, we'll dive into stress coping. All right, raise your hand. If you are an emotional eater, it's an emotional eater like both ways, because when I have anxiety or anything, I cannot eat. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm an emotional non eat

emotional yeah. If I do an emotional non eater, emotional eater emotionally both probably yeah. But for me, it's like the better things are going to more food is they did ump. Sleep is another massive pillar. Do you sleep well? I don't sleep well. I wouldn't say I sleep super well. Recently, I had the old man bladder. I'll be going to going to the bathroom five times, and then in the middle of the night, I'm like, come on, I'm just get a diaper with me. Ever since I'm a strange

just being in bed, I'm straight. Okay, I do. I think I do too. You definitely Jaden snores like he's a truck driver. Alright, Any tobacco or marijuana users medical marijuana, don't answer that question. Circle of Safety has cameras. Now everyone knows we're friendly. Let's be real. What the what is? It's funny friendly to answer that question for all of us know so that we can be clear. Next next, JD,

you mentioned cholesterol. Anyone on prescription medication? I am yeah, which is funny because the doctor was like, I really don't think you need it, but if you want it, okay. Yeah, I'm right on the edge. And they started me just on a really tiny dosage just but more because of what my father, my father, he died a couple of years ago, and I remember sitting with Daddy O in his last couple of weeks and he had everything diabetes,

heart disease. It was really bad. So there were things that were preventative that I was put on for cholesterol. You know what, Unfortunately that is such a myth. We now know that your genetics is not your destiny. Wow. Great, that's major. So not going to your doctor getting a prescription if it's for cholesterol or whatever else. It's like, well, hang on a second, let's look back and see where does has come from? Right, what's the story? The next

question is constipation? Is that a regular thing? I'm like, I'm constipated a lot. I'll drink a bottle of water, of just water. I'll drink a bottle of just water every morning, and then I drink a cup of coffee and that makes me go to the back. How many cups coffee? Did he say? I drink five cups of coffee a day? Way too. Yeah, that's what dad. I didn't know what you drinking coffee. It's okay, guys, he's being honest. That's it's okay. Nothing wrong. We're going to

work through it. Thank you for sharing, dad, Thank you for respecting my coffee and try. But I get I get the fan. The fan they want you to be the best. Don't make that face at me on television. So there's two things I'm noticing, and I know some of it might have to do with my coffee intake, but I noticed. So I played awful lot and sometimes I'll bend over to put the ball on the tee and stand up. I get lightheaded. And I've also just started noticing a little bit of shake when I put

the ball. Don't say that, Daddy, Please don't say that. Don't say that. Okay, Okay, that makes us all very nervous. No, no, no, it's just really it's it's miniature. I'm fine. Willow like dizziness too, is often from blood pressure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get to that all right. So constipation or digestion, excessive gas, they all tie together, and I've heard each and everyone if you mentioned those things, yeah, do you know what the triggers are for you? I feel like

I'm gassy all the time, and I have no clue why. Yeah, I mean, I never I like being gassy. I don't know where you were going with that one. All the time, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you know how you know why I'm gassing? Does your food come bine and tell you that? All? So now you if you exper we didn't need and you're going to eat broccoli and then ice cream, broccoli and cake and an apple. That's why he smells the way he does. You do enjoy

being gassy because you like punishing everybody, George, all of us. Yes, you know what, digrass grass. If I could be less gassy through the questionnaire, I would like that. All right, this is on the list. Decline in sexual interest. Oh absolutely, no, absolutely not. I'm ready to go right now. I feel sixteen. I don't have a decline and energy. I do notice when I eat certain things like arugula, and there's these certain things that I do eat where I'm like, I'm

feeling good today. Yeah, I'm like you kidding. Really, that's how you were read from the side. That's What about alcohol? No, yeah, I don't think a lot of alcohol at all anymore. What about your relationship to how often are you drinking alcohol? That's my personal business there. I respect that it's your show, but at the end of the day, this is the house that we share on vacation time. It was a lot. I probably because it's in front of my kids. It's like,

now I'm a bad parent. One or two a week, one or two a week. I just turned one so so you're thinking of stopping out now that is legal. It's not fun no more. All right, sugar, I love it. They have my existence. It just puts me down. It makes me feel drunk. I love sugar so much. I love maple syrup. That's my favorite things. Just drinking. I just want to dip, like I will eat cardboard with He loves sugar so much. I want so hard on

them as kids not having sugar. He used to hide orange juice candy, and so I was like, oh man, he was hiding sugar. I was looking in his bed like all these sugar salt. It gives me really like yeah, I love salt. It's like the balance, like salt and sugar. It's like they got something salty and some sugary, like the butter, and you got to melt the butter with the maple syrups and we start a butter up in the maple syrup and then you dip the bacon, bacon,

your heart dry, brittle, hair split in. I'm just losing hair me too. So we both would like we were both like to stop me. He so really worked closely with functional medicine. Doctor Dr Mark Hyman is the best He had a profound impact on the health of myself and my family. So I'm so excited for you to meet with him. I want to say something to all the medical professionals are here today, and I'll use Mark. Dr Hyman is on a mission to save our lives.

Author of eleven New York Times bestsellers, He's become an international leader in his field of functional medicine at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic. He's treated presidents, celebrities, and royalty. He says, what you put on your fork is more powerful than any medication. Thank you very much, appreciate your time. You guys have a whole list of different symptoms that you're

trying to sort out because your bodies aren't imbalance. And so the tests we're gonna do are some of them are traditional tests, but some of them are a little specialty tests that allow us to look under the hood, like a thousand point check up to see what's actually going on underneath. We're gonna start with a special test that looks at the size and number of cholesterol particle is much more predictive of whether you can in a heart attack or not. So we're look at all that

and then we're gonna do some really interesting stuff. We don't get at your poop your stool. I called the poop and scoop test. I went to need at least three days, dude, like give you that one. So well, we're gonna fix that. We're also gonna a really cool test called telemeters, which is a little caps at the end of your genes. They shortened as you get older,

and they can tell you your biological age. So you might be fifty, but your biological age might be sixty or it could be third, so you can change that fifty nine, but biologically I'm thirty nine. At the end of the process, you know, we'll get a lot of information. We'll go over it and we'll two things off and you'll see hot works. Love that. Dr Diamond, thank you so much. Oh man, that's gonna be awesome. I just

want to say thank you for setting this up.
