WATCH: Dr. Drew Talks Weight Loss with Alison Sweeney

Last night, Dr. Drew had an illuminating discussion about body image and weight management with DAYS OF OUR LIVES star and BIGGEST LOSER host Alison Sweeney. Sweeney and Dr. Drew spoke to the health issues that plague so many Americans, and how staying positive and keeping fit –even after a pregnancy – doesn’t have to be as hard as it seems.

Alison Sweeney talks about making your health a priority:

“The parallel is always the airplane, where they have to tell women in particular where you have to put on your own oxygen mask first before you help a child... If you take care of your body, first of all no one else can do it for you, if you take care of your health then you are more equipped and better prepared to help everyone else around you.”

And the addiction to food:

“You have to continue to eat 3,4,5 times a day. You’re always going to be around it, you have to have some of it, and that becomes such a slippery slope."
