So very similar consistency. So you cant use your mouth to touch the food, so to speak. What do you think you were tasting . Give me an idea. Oh, gosh, apple sauce . I dont know. I cant smell it. Dr. Oz whats the second one . It was more consistent, rubbery, almost like tuna fish, but i cant smell it so dr. Oz all right, lets take this off.

Whether its a conditioner bottle, shampoo, toothpaste. Is that normal . Dr. Oz pimples too . Well, no. Dr. Oz so things in tubes you have to get whatever is out no matter what. Correct. Dr. Oz what bothers you so much about leaving a little bit in a bottle of toothpaste . Its not the money so much but its that i have to have in my mind every ounce is out of there.

Every morning when you get up, when you start to squeeze out that toothpaste you get that little kick. Go ahead now. Squeeze it up a little bit. I have to start from the very end. Dr. Oz everyone knows this. If i could get my kids to do that id be so proud of myself. My kids squeeze from up here. Youre really doing it. Let me help you a little bit. Ooh. Theres toothpaste thats not out. When this starts to happen, there are reseptemberors in your brain, dopamine and serotonin. If they get stimulated you feel that high, that real nice feeling that one has when you do just what youve wanted to do. Keep going. It keeps going higher and higher. Every little last drop. You cant stand it, its so much fun. Now that feels good, doesnt it . Yes, it does. Dr. Oz as high as you can go with serotonin. Then what happens, the tube is done. And when the tube is done, youre done and that serotonin and dopamine begins to sink back down because you cant maintain that high. Because you cant always be squeezing stuff out of tubes. What do you do . You start it up again with a second tube. That urge to keep squeezing comes again and then youre continuing that cycle. So the only quick fix is to keep doing it. The first thing we all have to do, because we all have Different Things this happens to us in. We have to address the anxiety. What would happen if you left it on the counter and didnt finish squeezing out the bottle but started squeezing the next tube of toothpaste . I dont know if i could handle that. The thing you have to try and do is three days. You have a little bit left on your toothpaste, you have to leave it on the bathroom counter. You see it, you dont do anything to it. You start the next one. After three days you can throw it away. Youve started the next one. And do that with all the different kinds of bottom ols you have. You get used to seeing it not totally empty. The process stops. How long does it take . Dr. Oz im betting that if you do that for three days, you train yourself to make it a shorter and shorter time.
