it took him 48 hours to get to this point right there was troubling, in fact, some prominent ceos resigning from his council and the president is firing back against those ceos and we'll have more this morning. we begin with breaking news on north korea. we have now learned that its leader have been briefed on that plan to launch missiles near the u.s. territory of guam and may be changing course. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is near the north korean border in seoul with the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it appears that kim jong-un may have blinked. well, a statement is full of bluster and threats and says he has reviewed plans for attacking the waters off guam. the statement also says that kim will wait to see what the u.s. does next. specifically saying the supreme leader will watch stupid american behavior a bit longer. that seems a real change in the specific and alarming statements he has been making over the past

>> we know that the -- it's taking the approach of being diplomatic here but that there are some military options that could be presented to president trump. >> reporter: exactly, robin. the u.s. military is tracking this carefully and does have military option as valuable with the secretary of defense saying overnight if they fire at the united states, that's called war. if they do that, then it's game on because even if it appears for now that kim is backing off, this is not over. intelligence analysts believe he can fit a nuclear weapon inside an icbm so this remains a huge threat, robin, the biggest foreign policy challenge our nation faces. >> it certainly does. martha, thank you. back here at home president trump is now facing some troubling new poll numbers. his approval rating now dropping to his lowest ever. 34% say they approve of the job he's doing. 61% say they disapprove. th

supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. >> reporter: but asked what took him so long, the president offered no explanation. >> they have been condemned. >> reporter: hours later the president followed up suggesting the media is blowing this out of proportion tweeting made additional remarks on charlottesville and realize once again that the fake news media will never be satisfied. it took the president two days to call out the white supremacists. at first he spoke out against the protesters on many sides. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. >> reporter: that sparked a fierce backlash even from some of the president's republican allies and now three top ceos have stepped down from their roles with the administration in protest. including ken

ceo of merck and only african-american on the president's manufacturing council. he says his decision is a matter of personal conscience adding america's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejeeking expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy. critics are pointing to what the president did not say yesterday. nowhere has he labeled this violence which left one woman dead as an act of terrorism and that's a label that many in his own administration and other republicans have been using. >> mary, we know you reported there. it took about 48 hours for the president to go before the cameras and to say racism is evil and to call out those groups by name but then overnight causing controversy because just hours after making that statement there at the white house, he retweeted something. >> reporter: yeah, david, the president overnight retweeted a member, a known member of the so-called alt-right a tweet about shootings in chicago not getting enough national media attention. the president

clear his name. it took a jury less than four hours to declare victory for taylor swift. their verdict, former denver radio deejay david mueller assaulted and battered the superstar in 2013. this photo, she says shows the moment he grabbed her bare bottom. swift cried during closing arguments and her attorney asking is the victimization going to stop here or is it going to go on? in a statement she thanked the judgment and her legal team for fighting for me and anyone who feels silenced by sexual assault but in his first tv interview mueller insists he is innocent. >> let's talk about this photo. you admit on the stand looking at that photo that it was awkward. >> that wasn't ready. i wasn't invited to be in the photo. so it was -- i just moved into the shot the best i could. >> reporter: swift said at first she thought the alleged grope was a mistake but when she

he did not touch my rib. he did not touch my arm. he did not touch my hand. he grabbed my bare -- are you asking people to consider the possibility that one of america's biggest superstars is lying or at least mistaken? >> what i'm say something that i didn't do what they say i did. i didn't do it. i never grabbed her. i never had my hand under her skirt and i can pass a polygraph. >> reporter: at the end of the meet and greet swift reported the incident and mueller's radio station fired him. two years later he sued swift for around $3 million. that suit was dismissed last week. one of the theories is that you waited two years, you wanted a quick payout. >> i asked for something in writing which stated that there was a misunderstanding and i can take that and possibly convince someone at a radio station to hire me. >> you didn't want

you just wanted this note. >> absolutely. >> reporter: terrorist was awarded $1 in damages now promising to make donations to help those victims of sexual assault. she's getting plenty of support from kesha saying i support you always and especially right now and admire your strength and fearlessness. truth is always the answer. as for mueller he says part of fighting back may be filing an appeal. david. >> all right, for more on that, clayton, let's bring in dan abrams who is with us this morning. dan, you heard clayton report it took the jury less than four hours. clearly they didn't buy the deejay's story. what do you think it was? >> first of all she was credible. taylor swift was credible. her mother was credible but there was a key piece of evidence in this case that i think is underreported which is he had a tape recording of the conversation between himself and his boss, remember, this is about why did i get fired? the day before he gets fired he

his boss. he sends little snippets of that conversation to his lawyer and then lo and behold when they need the entirety of the conversation, he either poured coffee on his computer so he doesn't have it. he threw away his cell phone. he lost his ipad. all these different devices, four of them suddenly gone. >> suddenly gone. >> and they were allowed to bring that in front of the jury. i think that was a very important piece of evidence that goes to his creditable. >> you heard he's keeping up on the option of an appeal. >> he is's be crazy to appeal. not because he doesn't have a shot but because this is a civil case about money. this isn't a criminal case. in a civil case you have to decide how much is it going to cost me to appeal? and an appeal would be very expensive. and the chances of him winning an appeal are very, very small. >> you know, lastly, dan, this $1 verdict so symbolic. all she asked for. >> think about that from the jury's perspective thinking to themselves, wait a sec, she's asking for a buck. that's it?

sways sink in terms of saying this isn't about the money for taylor swift. >> yeah, she has announced she will get awareness out for other young women who go through the same thing. >> and she will do that. >> absolutely. >> thanks so much. now to that deadly accident on a hollywood set. we're learning new details this morning about the stunt driver killed while filming "deadpool 2." just the latest in a series of on-set accidents and t.j. homes is here with more. >> this stunt arc was billed as the first african-american female professional road racer. she raced motorcycles for a living. her family says this was her first time working as a stunt actor on a film set. now, the questions this morning about how did this happen. >> what happened? the actor went through the window of a vehicle or something? >> no, actor lost control went across the street over a curb and through a glass pane window. >> reporter: that's how they described the deadly crash on the set of "deadpool 2" in audio

"deadpool" star ryan reynolds paid tribute to her on twitter. we're heartbroken, shocked and devastated but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. this is the second death of a

a stuntman fell two stories on the concrete a month ago during the filming of "the walking dead" and tom cruise slammed into a building while attempting his own stunt in "mission: impossible 6" in london. accidents happen all the time. deaths are relatively rare. one is too many. of course. but a lot of questions about what was going on with joi harris. we don't believe she was wearing a helmet because the character in the movie wouldn't have been wear a helmet. the update on tom cruise. he has possibly broken bones in his ankle so that could shut down production for awhile and will raise a lot of questions about safety on film. >> seems like the stunts are getting riskier and riskier because you have to have bigger stunts. >> the audience now expects bigger and louder and more action. >> thank you, t.j. >> appreciate it, t.j. coming up as your children head back to school how will they get there? the new concerns about a bus driver shortage. come on back. ♪

having fewer stops. >> reporter: one of the problems appears to be the long process to get a commercial driver's license. training can take up to 12 weeks with extensive drug tests wane background checks and the salaries with some newer drivers bringing in about $50 a day and split shifts working at two different types each day aren't helping. julie castle says it's the bond she makes with the children on her bus that keeps her coming back. >> i was a route driver for two years and i still see kids that i know that, you know, they're like, hey, miss julie, so that's really cool. i like that. >> reporter: and some school districts this has become a real problem for after-school programs. it's taking children a lot longer to get home. guys. >> such an important job. >> thank you, steve. >> you were a bus driver. >> one of my first jobs. i was very young. it worked for me so it

they have been on the ground ever since it opened last month, closely monitoring it and studying it using the latest technology. we're talking about drones, 3d imaging and radar to get a better understanding of what's happening above and below. the co-director of the team, dr. lori collins, grew up right here in this neighborhood so it's very personal for her and says she feels for these families. who lost everything when that sinkhole opened up. now we got a tour of that sinkhole this morning. it basically looks like a construction site. a lot of heavy machinery out there that's cleaned up all that debris but there's still water inside that. >> do you think one day they can predict them? that's one thing they're trying to figure out if they'll be able to do that. >> reporter: it's so difficult, michael, to predict a sinkhole collapse event like this one. the problem is that they happen so quickly, the weight above just becomes too much f

water eats away at the limestone underneath the surface and everything comes crashing down and hoping this technology will help one day make them predict what's happening here. >> we do like that too, victor, thanks so much. we'll be right back. your body was made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz is a small pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can reduce joint pain and swelling in as little as two weeks, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have thanks so much. happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal

trying to walk over here. go t dr. bracho-sanchez, with families getting ready to take their kids back to school in the coming weeks. what was most alarming? this involves children and sleep and real dangers if they don't get enough sleep in this is a study of 4500 children in london. what they did is they recorded how many hours of sleep they got every night. they also recorded their bmi, their body mass index levels as well as several different blood measurements. what they found is that children who on average sleep one hour less per night had what we know typically to be increased levels of risk for development of type 2 diabetes. >> just one hour less increases the risk. >> one hour, exactly. >> what's the real worry going forward if they don't get the sleep they need. >> we know american children are not getting the sleep that they need. we also know from previous studies that this has been

correlated with significant risks to their health. including decreased performance at school, irritability, mood and behavior issues as well as hypertension and now we'll add one more to that list, david, and that is type 2 diabetes. >> type 2 diabetes. really important. we think about it as adults but the same sort of risk factors are there for the children too. let's help folks at home. what do we do about it? how do you help the kids. >> what i tell family, sleep is just as important as physical activity and eating healthy. right, so you really have to make it a family priority. and the first thing the place where we start is getting electronics out of the room. we know from previous studies that electronics in the room has been linked to diminished quality of sleep at night. >> do you have the crew to take out all the electronic products. we got a whole team here. >> check this room out. we have a laptop. we have an ipad. we have a nintendo and -- >> they don't look very happy about it. >> the kids aren't going to be

happy either. >> the one thing that i if you take nothing else away from children the thing you have to take away is their phone. kids are telling me in my clinic that they're staying up late, they are texting their friends until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. >> that up for volunteering this phone. this is really going to make it -- >> it makes a difference because they're texting when you don't know it into the wee hours of the morning and keeps them up. >> absolutely and it's been linked to diminished quality of sleep and all of the other health factors that we talked about. >> all right, dr. edith bracho-sanchez, great to have you on the program. can i have my phone back. >> if i can take this away, you parents can do it. >> that's right. over to you, michael. >> and we're going to go to the highly anticipated premiere of "bachelor in paradise" after that explosive incident that shut down production for weeks. host chris harrison is speaking out exclusively to abc. diane macedo is here with that story. what's up, diane. >> this was not your typical

kickoff to "bachelor in wondering how they would handle the sexual misconduct issues that halted production. chris harrison told us it was the elephant in the room that they had to address so they did right from the start. it's the most talked about season of "bachelor in paradise," that almost never aired. the reality show was shut down back in june after just two days of shooting amid allegations of sexual misconduct between cast members corinne olympios and demario jackson. >> it's kind of like a chill over paradise. >> reporter: taping resumed just a few weeks later after an investigation found in evidence of misconduct. overnight the show premiered and viewers tuned in hoping the episode would shed some light on what really happened. >> come on. >> yes. >> from the moment corinne and demario meet, they seemed to hit it off. >> corinne and demario had very little to do with the intend incident as far as filing a complaint or allegations against

one another. and that was what created this it was someone who really wasn't there and really didn't see or hear anything that got this ball rolling. >> can i steal you for a minute? >> me? >> yeah. >> i hate to do this but -- >> reporter: producers say that's all we'll see. "bachelor in paradise" won't be airing the controversial footage of the incident and neither olympios or jackson returned to the show. >> there were tears shed. when you have 300, 400 people whose jobs on the line, there were allegations that these people's safety were put in jeopardy, now you're questioning people's loyalty and their integrity. >> reporter: but going back to "paradise" after the production shut down might have made it tougher for the couples' relationships. >> the short time frame we came back and we had a compacted schedule, little tougher to come up with a happy couple and i think you're going to see there's a little more of an organic feel as it will continue after we leave "paradise" so

we'll see if we end up with engaged couple during the live finale later. >> harrison wouldn't give too much away but revealed for the next several shows we will see more of what led to the shut double eliminati down and hear from corinne and demarco. >> we have the ladies from columbia, south carolina. they're taking a girls trip. you've been friends for a long time. >> a long time. >> they all work together. what are they doing without you there? this is your "gma" moment. ruby is doing her absolute best to catch the frisbee. ready for it, go, go, go, you can do it -- oh. she just looks right into the camera. next time, ruby. we're still proud of you. send your "gma" moment to my facebook page. we returns mid to late week - warm, mostly dry weekend - 6 days until the eclipse today: mostly cloudy. showers, mainly before

noon. winds: ese 5 mph tonight: partly cloudy. patchy fog. lows: 68-75 winds: s 5 mph wednesday: partly to mostly sunny. hot and humid. highs: 88-92 winds: nw 5 mph now to promising news for those facing breast cancer. those new clinical trials aproofed to develop immu immunotherapy treatment offering hope to a group of patients often overlooked those with advanced stages of diseases. dr. jen ashton is going to join us in a moment with more but first i want you to meet one woman and hear her story. >> i felt like the monster was chasing us and now it's close

and i'm thinking to myself, >> reporter: breast cancer has waged a war on felicia johnson's family. 11 women spanning three generations have been diagnosed with the disease. including felicia. >> so it wasn't something that you discussed. it wasn't something that even as a family even though it for generations impacted your family. y'all didn't talk about it. >> our culture as african-american people, we're very, very private, we keep things hidden. so there was just silence. >> reporter: felicia's connection to breast cancer is not unusual. death rates from breast cancer are higher in the african-american community. but dr. lisa newman is researching possible causes including genetic links between african-american ancestry and the more deadly form of breast cancer known as triple negative. >> we know that triple negative breast cancer is twice as common in african-american women compared to white american women.

>> reporter: but many african-american women are not treatment. that's why at the leash that is determined to do everything she can to break the silence in her family and help others do the same. what is it about you that you said, i'm going to be the voice for those who don't have a voice? >> with that information, you suffer. you want to give yourself the best opportunity that science has to fight your disease. >> i know it's painful. take another woman's hand, she needs what you went through so she can see that there's hope. when i told someone i had stage 4, when i told someone i had triple negative and they see that i'm alive, okay, there's hope. i can make it. i can go through. >> reporter: and she wants to help other, as well of the

that's a sneak peek of the new series "advanced breast cancer:courage, comfort and care" from my production company. felicia is doing well and cancer is no longer detectable with her. [ applause ] there are so many who continue to struggle and, jen, we've talked about this so many times and does race become a factor when dealing with certain diseases like breast cancer? >> absolutely. and there's actually a big area of controversy right now in clinical medicine about what's called medical racial profiling so let me tell you what i mean. we think and talk about a patient, we define them by their gender, their sex, their age, their race, their ethnicity, country of origin, sometimes their sexual orientation because all of that is important so the opponents of labeling someone let's say african-american female, you know, or it varies depending on what disease we talk about say if we do that it can pigeonhole us and allow us

not to think of other things but the people who think that i of those things, this piece said why when you're talking about triple negative but i want to give you another example that has nothing to do with breast cancer. when we think about a patient with, let's say a complaint of coughing up blood, if we blind ourselves to where that patient is from, we think of a common list of what we call differential diagnosis like pneumonia, lung cancer, even a foreign body in the lung. if all of a sudden we say, oh, no, wait a minute. this isn't just a patient from anywhere. this is a patient from asia or china, then something that hadn't even been at the top of our list goes to the top in this case infection with a parasite called a lung fluke and can absolutely make a critical difference so i think it's a controversial area. you have to take race into account. >> i remember when i was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and i was told as a black woman you're less likely to get breast cancer but most likely to die if you do get it. i was like, what do you do with that information but new statistics that say african-american women die from

breast cancer at than white women, 32% to 22%. why is that? >> we don't know. is it a difference to access to care or different social or behavioral differences like lower breast feeding rates. it appears the biology can be different in different racial and ethnic groups so have to take that into account when you look at clinical trial participants. 2016, only 7% of participants in fda clinical tries were african-americans. we need to include all areas of diversity when we study patients because it's not one size fits all. >> you know the history with blacks and clinical trials and so we have to get past that and that was the past and this is present. my sister and i have made ourself as valuable for that. immu immunotherapy. we keep hearing about that. is it the breakthrough that we've been waiting for. >> absolutely. that is what gives us in medicine and science reason to be excited. that's what should give patients reason to be hopeful and

optimistic. this is under the umbrella precision medicine. think about what is it called that? when you think about it our body makes a cancer but our body recognizes it as part of ourself and doesn't fight it. what immunotherapy does is take the genetic profile of that tumor so it's genetic fingerprint if you will and repositions it in the body so your body says, this should not be here. i'm going to go on a seek and destroy mission and get rid of this tumor without damaging the rest of the body. >> i love that because of the aggressive treatment that i had for breast cancer led to the second condition that i had and it's not one size fits all as we say. no. >> you have to tailor it to the person. >> we have to remember for african-american we're not juice talking about part of africa. there's regional differences. >> thank you, jen, so much. see the whole five-part if series now on webmd.com and i spoke with felicia on my podcast "everybody's got something" and

we'll be right back. >> reporter: good morning washington i'm melanie hastings with your top stories. detailings about the closure of the maternity ward at united medical center in southeast washington the post reports it was closed last week because of dangerous mistakes made by staff. the post says staff members did not take steps to prevent hiv transmit friday a mother to her new born. >> another high profile ceo leaving president trump's manufacturing council. head of intel brian grant itch is the

how many do you have that prom don't even think about it. >> so, anyway. >> your expression is priceless. that will be my new screen saver. >> game on. >> challenge accepted. >> tomorrow. it'll be like blue and blue. >> yeah. >> do you like i got bonnie taylor there -- >> you make the cuest prom couple. i just have to say. >> until tomorrow. >> we appreciate it. >> bonnie tyler. we got a couple of topics. one is when you go out and you split the check with friend, you know, you go -- a lot of people try to figure it out on the phone. >> totally. >> there's this new headline saying beware when you split the bill there's someone who filed a lawsuit against cheesecake factory and claim when you get the guided b-- divided bill it's -- i'll do it right now. cheesecake factor says all gratuities are suggestions only.

guests are fre t please. we believe our customers appreciate the service. when you divide the check, do you pay close attention to like, well, wait a minute. did you have three drinks and i only had one. >> what you're saying if it was $60 and three people so $20 each and did the tip for the $60. >> that's the claim. >> so if you weren't paying attention you might pay like -- >> yeah. >> well, okay. >> i feel like it's always a conversation. what should we all tip so -- >> i do that too. >> i have a friend of mine who you'll tip well and he'll overtip then he'll look at the server and go i thought your service was outstanding. irdon't know what his problem is. jay glazer, there you go. >> oh! >> when i go out with my friends, we definitely -- a lot of times somebody picks up the bill because it all evens out but some friends you never expect for them to pay. >> i was going to say robin and

i have an expression for that. >> i do put you are at a two-drink max. >> you do? >> yes, i do. we're that close of friends. i feel like i can do that to you. >> you want to tell who that one is. >> i'm not going to do that. [ laughter ] i'm not crazy. >> the point david was making, sometimes if you don't drink and somebody is and alcohol can add to the bill, you wonder at the end but i just think do you just divide the bill. >> i do. i just divide it up. >> we came out together. we agreed to come out together. i'm not going to start counting how many roses i had. >> you is who he's talking about. >> i think at the end of the day it all evens out. if they're friends, it all evens out. >> i think the point of this is just take a look at the bill. we all -- and as a former waitress, i do always encourage tip big if you can. you know, it -- be a little more generous. they work so hard but that's what these people were saying, if they were paid the bill real quickly and didn't -- >> sure. >> you know.

>> in new york when you're in give you the tip choices and always interesting, the cab driver always looks through the window and look at the tip and say, oh, thank you with a giant smile on their face. for people working hard -- >> we're getting a tip from the control room. many to move on. >> david, thank you. i like that. >> all right. see you guys tomorrow. >> tip as much as you can. >> you're not going anywhere. i got something else that came occupy. are emojis proper enough for e-mails? work e-mails? >> for work e-mails? israeli university found they can make you look incompetent if anybody has ever thought about that but one book called "the emoji code" says it helps us communicate better because they show just that, emotions. what do you guys think? do you ever use emojis in your work e-mails. >> depends on who you're sending it to.

if i'm on my phone and sending a work e-mail i may be more apt at >> it also depends on the relationship. a case-by-case thing. if you're friendly with that worker or superior you might want to make sure your tone is read clearly with a smiley face. but otherwise, i -- >> depends. if it's after those three drinks you were talking about, michael, then, you know, lots of emojis. >> first of all, it's a two-drink maximum, david. but what they did, they asked participants to read a work-related e-mail from an unknown person and they evaluated the competence and warmth of that person. and they found that people thought if they didn't know the gender and it was an emoji they thought it came from a female. >> oh, boy. >> i'm reading it. don't get mad at me. i'm just reading it but there's a professor vyvyan evans who says, you know what, it's our daily face-to-face reacts offer up to 70% of communication just

from the look of somebody's face so that is what the emoji does, words. >> right. i mean, texts can be easily misread. we've talked about that. >> some of these emojis can easily be misread. >> that smiley face with the two hearts. don't send that to your boss. >> even like lol and all that stuff. my mom was like your dad is in the hospital, lol and i was like -- she meant lots of love. i was like -- she's laughing out loud. dad is in the hospital. >> you're just going at everybody today. >> we asked our viewers what they thought and here's what came back in the poll. we asked on twitter should you use emojis in work e-mails. 23% said yes. and 77% said no. they feel like it's unprofessional. >> kind of on the same page. if you're outside of work and if you're like i sent you a text -- >> like that one. >> but if you're at work and talking about work stuff -- >> then you -- >> i sent a thumb's up in a work e-mail.

>> announcer: when you have the song of the summer -- ♪ despacito >> announcer: and the most watched youtube of all time. where do you go to perform it live? >> good morning, america. >> tomorrow, luis fonsi, "despacito," live only on "gma." >> and welcome back to "good morning america." we are back now with dystrophy's dream big princess photo campaign that encourages kids to follow their dreams starting today, disney is joining the u.n. foundation's girl up program to give you a way to share your inspiring photos and make a difference at the same time. here to tell us about it, one of the first female photographers for national geographic, annie griffiths. we are so happy to have you here, annie. you've been taking photos tore a long time. why get involved in this cause? >> because i'm also a mother and a grandmother and i've seen how the disney princesses have inspired my girls and i really love this new campaign. i'm a photographer. i love tellingsters and i got to

work with 19 women photographers around the world to show real-life role models out there, you know, doing fantastic things in their communities so it's been a real honor >> that's why girl up is so important. >> so important. >> yeah, because they're training girls to be leaders in their communities in over 90 countries and so to combine this wonderful disney program with girl up is going to allow them to reach even further. >> the best of all worlds all right. well, everybody can get involved right now and until october 11th share your stories online with a picture using #dreambigprincess. for every photo you post or like disney will donate $1 to the returns mid to late weekn girl - warm, mostly dry weekend - 6 days until the eclipse today: mostly cloudy. showers, mainly before noon. highs: 82-85 winds: ese 5 mph tonight: partly cloudy. patchy fog. lows: 68-75 winds: s 5 mph wednesday: partly to mostly sunny. hot and humid.

highs: 88-92 >> all right, robin, we are dreaming big down here. we'll head up to you. >> there you are. beautiful. it is time now for our stress busters series. this morning it's all about what you eat and how. it makes you feel. body love author kelly leveque is here and she has spent eight years working in medical science and now combining her passion for nutrition and science as a certified health coach and holistic nutritionist. i have been looking forward to seeing you. i just got the book this weekend. been thumbing through it and -- it's helping me understand because, you know, not that you stress out this morning because you're here at "gma" but when you're stressed and you reach for a bag of chips or reach for that comfort -- there's a reason behind it. tell us why. >> there is. so actually we have to understand the stress hormone cortisol first so in small doses cortisol is not bad for you but when it's chronically elevated it makes us crave those highly

palatable foods, the fatty and what's worse is when we heat those foods our brain releases the hormone dopamine which is a reward hormone making it really addicting so we go back for more. >> well, see, so there is a reason why. >> absolutely. >> there is a science behind it. >> hormone driven. >> and you're going to show us different foodies that can help us get through this maybe reach for something a little different. >> yeah, you know, when we're reaching for those bad foods it can make us feel tired, lethargic and aren't motivated to work out or don't feel vibrant so want to manage cortisol. the best way is through movement, meditation, good sleep and really healthy blood sugar balancing foods. >> so you'll show us some of these. i hear they're yummy. my producer has already tried some of them. you have something called the fab four or -- >> yes. >> what is that about? >> i found when i started working with clients that it's really hard for people to

understand blood sugar. so i thought, why don't i create light structure for people to understand how to balance blood sugar, fuel their body, eat what fills them up and turns off over eight hunger hormones in the body. >> really? >> i was surprised when i was researching. you have over eight hunger hormones in the body with different triggers. one of them, is you eat something and your stomach stretches and that hormone calms down. grabbing a coffee or orange juice, it won't go down. protein, fat, fiber and greens. >> make sure that you incorporate that. you found a way to do it in a smoothie. >> you can do it with an easy egg breakfast scrambled with spin but i love this smoothie recipe. a lot are full of fruit and that's sugar and can make us crave more sugar. instead we start with protein so people like pea protein. collagen protein, grass fed whey protein. choose whatever. >> is there they difference?

you see >> it's overwhelming. >> any really major difference or taste? >> it depends when i'm recommending it for clients it depends on their lifestyle. someone vegan go for pea protein. a lot of the ogygns will recommend a grass-fed whey. collagen is great. 20 grams of protein to calm that hunger. >> protein then -- >> then fat so this has a vanilla pea protein and avocado. i know -- but the vanilla makes it taste -- i promise it's ice cream. what do we think. >> oh, wow. i'm not faking it. i could drink this. >> so, what's great about this shake is that we have the fat, we have the fiber that stretches your stomach so we're using chia seeds, flaxseeds, acacia fiber. spinach, kale, whatever you like.

>> only a minute left. i want to get all this >> fab four, roasted salmon over mixed greens. we really want to up the veggie, stretch the stomach, calm the hunger hormones, omega-3s are known for decreasing inflammati inflammation. stress around the body, magnesium deficiencies are linked to depression so you'll get a lot of magnesium in those greens so -- >> then at night when -- >> then at night. >> when you want that sweet thing. >> when you're craving the chocolate, right, so chocolate is actually a comfort food. it's known for calming depression, anxiety and so i make a freezer fudge because my clients want that sweet treat at night. almond butter, coconut oil, a lael cacao or unsweetened cocoa which is the stuff you make hot chocolate with and a sweetener, stevia, mung fruit. it's not -- it does the trick when you need it and the best part is it doesn't spike your blood sugar before bed.

i so you keep -- you keep burning fat at night. yay. >> satisfies that craving you have. >> it hits the spot. >> uh-huh. mm-mm. >> and it's healthy fats at that. omega three, the almond butter provides zinc. >> we are definitely having you back. >> okay. come back, ladies and gentlemen. that's her new body "body love" and get the recipes on our site. everyone in our audience is going home with a copy of "body love."
