changes are stirring up a debate between doctors about whether they actually help or hurt patients and dr. jen's the deal? >> let me set this up. in november a group of cardiologists came out with new blood pressure guidelines that actually dropped the threshold limit that defines whether someone has high blood pressure. it used to be 140 over 90. now it's 130 over 80. not everyone agreed with that so now a group of internists and family medicine docs are saying, hold on, not so fast. we have some issues with this and they're questioning the data that went into this, whether the outcomes in this lower range of high blood pressure really warrant medication in some cases and i want to be very clear. in medicine in science any time there is a healthy respectful debate it's not only good and academic exercise it's good for patient care. when you hear doctors disagreeing, ooh, that's not good. i say that's great. that's what advances medicine. >> that's a way of looking at it. what are the risks of lower guidelines? >> you heard me say it before any time you talk about therapy or medicine weigh the

. >> let's talk to our doctor, dr. jen ashton, it was an impressive performance.r long in the briefing room. what stood out to you? >> so, he described the physical as age appropriate evidence based medicine individualized to the president and his unique job description. the main focus in the press conference was on the number one killer of men and women which is heart disease. the target for president trump, obviously his weight. he is slightly elevated cholesterol. based on his body mass index which is not the perfect >> doesn't really measure muscle. >> he is borderline obese and needs to lose about 10 to 15 pounds and needs to start exercising. >> clearly the president's abstinence from smoking and alcohol helped. a lot of attention on this cognitive test. >> in a physical exam, we assess psychiatric and neurologic by observation. some of that is done by inquiry. he underwent this cognitive test which some questions are here and ask can you identify the lion. can you retrace the cube and this tests memory, attention, calculation and he did well. >> jen ashton,

we've been talking about getting healthy, all these wonderful things, i see dr. jena new year. well now the doctors at northwestern university, they'veen 32 facial exercises, they're calling it and say you can do it on your couch without breaking a sweat and have them for 20 weeks and checked before and after pictures and these doctors at northwestern determined that the ladies look roughly three years younger this. is equal opportunity, by the way. yeah. [ applause ] as you can tell i've been doing them. researchers say the exercises build up muscles that tend to droop as we get older. you can find all of those free. northwestern university there's a move called happy cheeks that i suggest we all try er. you smile without showing your teeth. like this and t two fingers and push cheeblgs up.that is supposed t and - i donr something but supposed to work. there's one called blowfish that is not attractive. look it up everybody. they're quick, simple and work. >> for men too. >> for men too. >> that's it. that's all i have for you today. >> thank you, lara. [ applause ]

people say dr. jen, why should i get it, it is 10% number? the 10% number was based on awedaustralia models. the cbc said they think the vaccine effectiveness against the h3 is 30%. not as much as we want but better than nothing. if you get the flu shot, and still get the flu, it can lower duration and severity of illness. it is not just protecting yourself and other people around you who may not fight off the flu so easily. that is the one sure bet about this, importance of getting a flu shot. that is important. charles: dr. caudill, thank you for being here. >> thank you. charles: white house press briefing in moments, they tried to find holes in the doctor's diagnosis he is in excellent health. >> can you as ses the president's mental fitness in office. >> he is taking cholesterol lowering medication and borderline obese and can you consider that excellent health? >> how can he follow his predecessor's example to be as fit as barack obama was? >> what is your take of all the doctors and clinicians across the country who have said in this p
