♪ >> janai: welcome back to "gma" with our cover story. three significant health stories making headlines and this morning abc news medical correspondent dr. darien sutton, our dear friend, is here to break them down. we love having you with us, dr. darien. so, first, there is a new potential screening option for colorectal cancer that's so important. tell us about it. >> incredibly important and this research is fascinating. so, there's a new test that can test for the signs of colon cancer. so in this study published by guardant health they found this blood test was up to 85% accurate compared to a colon colonoscopy. >> gio: just the blood test. >> just the blood test. not 100%, again, providing additional access to those in

need an estimated one in three eligible adults don't get them. just a simple reminder to get checked. talk to your doctor about screening methods. >> whit: all right. let's talk about -- always a discussion about the importance of walking for fitness and health and longevity and there's some new data to support that, right? >> there is, new data is wondering how many steps are necessary. we always talk about that 10,000 steps a day and this new study they found 5,000 steps a day at three times a week just for two years was able to increase life expectancy or extend life by up to three years. so it's a simple reminder that walking is helpful for our cardiovascular health. simply parking farther away from your job, taking the train or pacing while talking on the phone, all methods to increase steps. >> gio: the best mobility exercise is simply walking. >> simply walking. >> gio: this is a new headline we're hearing about. mindfulness telemedicine. what's this about? >> telemedicine has increased in popularity throughout the pandemic providing more access to those what can't get to appointments. in this study they found that

one hour of mindfulness and compassion training was able to significantly reduce stress, anxiety and depression. this adds to the monumental research we've seen about mindfulness, taking that purposeful pause before you do certain actions and it can help guide you to better choices. that can improve your health. >> gio: when you're brushing your teeth, just brush your teeth. don't look at the phone. >> meditation, yoga, all great additives to your life. >> whit: plus the steps. >> absolutely. >> whit: dr. darien, always appreciate you. thanks for coming in as usual. we do have another story to get to this morning. i believe we're talking about our maui strong, maui 808 segment. it's been seven months since part of the island was devastated by wildfires and throughout the recovery, a group of women have come together to protect the land and empower the community. jaclyn lee has that story. jaclyn, good morning. >> hey, whit, good morning.

the word of the month is wahine. it means woman in hawaiian. wahine are stepping up and taking charge from the housing crisis to the environment. after the devastating lahaina fires last august, the wahine or women across the island of maui are sounding the alarm about the toxic debris. >> do you feel like we're currently in trouble? >> i feel like we are teetering on some very, very sensitive areas where we're putting this toxic ash. >> reporter: toxic ash and debris containing arsenic and lead. more than 400,000 cubic yards of it temporarily dumped here by maui county. >> here across the street is the mother reef of hawaii. >> stop the desecration. stop the dumping of the toxic waste. >> reporter: this woman's hawaiian ancestors are buried

adjacent to the dump site. >> the ancestors, all those who have come before us. >> reporter: she's giving this [ speaking in a non-english language ] offering to her ancestors, asking for strength after filling a public nuisance injunction against the county this week. the debris is contained in a plastic lined pit but she is concerned it will taint the water system. >> there's no structural guarantee that there is not going to be contamination into the ecosystem. >> reporter: meanwhile, other wahine like this woman are fighting to ensure this land stays in lahaina hands. >> we have this very, very real sense of foreboding for the possibility of these land grabs of disaster capitalists that might try to come into lahaina and try to take advantage of people. >> reporter: there was a land trust created, a nonprofit that offers to buy properties from families who can't afford to rebuild rather than selling to developers. the organization then offers to lease the properties back to those families.

>> when corporations come in and they're better resourced than the local people and how it changes the entire makeup of a community over time, it's almost like the second disaster after a disaster. >> women determined to take a difference. in regard to the concerns about a temporary dump site, the state confirmed no cultural or historical sites will be disturbed and will publicly report environmental samples every 90 days starting at the end of april. whit? >> whit: jaclyn lee for us. it's so great to see people coming together and help that community but still a long, long ways to go for the people there in maui. thank you. let's turn and get a check of the weather and go back to somara theodore and serious storms across the country. >> somara: yeah, we saw some pretty intense severe weather on thursday. look at this tornado just materializing in realtime. this was an ef-1 in bluffton, ohio, thursday. 100-mile-per-hour winds and you can see the debris being picked

>> whit: now to this month's "gma" book club pick. it's "listen for the lie," amy tintera's highly anticipated first novel for adults that stephen king, by the way, called a world class whodunit and already a "new york times" best-seller. so amy is joining us now. amy, welcome. >> thank you. >> whit: congratulations, by the way. >> thank you. >> whit: what's it like to hear those words from stephen king himself about something you wrote? >> it's unbelievable. >> whit: right? >> when my editor told me she was going to ask him to read and blurb, i thought, there is no

way he was going to do it. then he did, and i had that reaction with everyone who blurbed the book. >> janai: this is a murder mystery, a comedy, a romance. how did you get all of that in there? >> you know, the humor was actually really natural for me because i just want to be funny even in serious situations and make a joke and lighten the mood. >> janai: me too, girl. [ laughter ] >> the romance also, i just really like putting romance in inconvenient situations. i think it's so fun to see someone like falling in love when they really should not be doing that, when they should be focusing on something else. >> gio: i love that. okay, so we've got a question. you know nurse bookie, michelle jocson, is a book influencer, and we have a question from her. take a look at this. >> in the story, one of my favorite characters is lucy's grandmother. she brought a lot of humor to the story. now, my question is, was her character inspired by someone you know? what was the development of her character in the story? >> i love this question because

the character of beverly the grandma was lightly inspired by my own grandmother who was very much a loud, opinionated woman. she was not a knitting and baking cookies grandma. and i just really -- i wanted to bring that to an older woman character. and my favorite story about my grandmother is the time she went to new orleans, and she got herself a hurricane and let 20-year-olds buy her shots and was dancing with them. so i wanted to bring that sort of energy to an older woman in my books because i think that is such a nice portrayal. >> gio: i love that. so fun. >> whit: previously you wrote your novels for young adults and switched to adults with this one. why make the change, and what was it you liked most about it? >> i wanted to write about characters with a little more life experience. it was fun to be a little bit darker. i like to write characters who are going through something and making jokes about it. it's easier to do it with adult characters.

it was a lot of fun. >> janai: so, was there a particular case that really piqued your interest in true crime? >> yeah. with the amanda knox case i was pretty obsessed with it and i was obsessed with the media response in italy to the amanda knox case. how no one really believed she and meredith were friends, they just were totally -- they totally didn't believe it at all and i thought that would be a really interesting idea to explore in fiction. >> janai: yeah. >> gio: that's amazing. all right, amy, thank you so much for being here. congrats again on the book and the book is "listen for the lie." >> whit: that's right. >> gio: available right now. >> whit: we'll be right back. amy, thank you. >> thank you.
