00:00 Bindi Phillips has starred in some of the biggest TV shows around, like Dawson's Creek,
00:05 and in Cougar Town, and has walked the red carpet alongside some of the biggest celebrities,
00:10 like her best friend, Michelle Williams.
00:12 But behind the scenes, the demands of her professional life did not work for her personal
00:17 life.
00:18 So she decided to cast herself in the role of a lifetime, literally featuring her own
00:22 life in the most unfiltered way out there, sharing absolutely everything, and I mean
00:27 everything, with her followers on Instagram.
00:30 Maybe even oversharing with millions of people every day about her career, about being a
00:33 mom, and of course, her health.
00:36 Take a look.
00:38 Oh my God, do raccoons murder one another after they have sex?
00:44 Because that's what it sounds like that's happening.
00:47 They hope that there's not a dead raccoon on me, don't they?
00:50 Oh my God.
00:51 What do you think if this was your hair color?
00:52 I don't know what that one looks like.
00:53 My mom dyed her hair pink.
00:54 - It's like, my mom dyed her hair pink.
00:57 - It's not really pink.
00:59 - It's like reddish.
01:00 - I think Cricket looks funny with this color hair.
01:02 - What? - Look.
01:04 - She looks adorable.
01:05 - Be in that corner.
01:07 We have to do this all over again.
01:09 - Oh, no.
01:10 - Busy Philips, come on out.
01:14 (upbeat music)
01:17 - Hi.
01:22 - How are you?
01:24 - Thank you very, very much.
01:26 - Oh my gosh, thanks for having me.
01:28 - Well, they're more excited than I am even.
01:29 They're jumping up and down.
01:30 - I'm very excited.
01:31 Hi, everybody.
01:32 Hi.
01:35 - How do you like the couch?
01:36 I mean, it looks like you're--
01:37 - This is a little bit like mine
01:38 and I do sit on this side,
01:39 but I normally cozy up.
01:40 I pull my legs up and I get cozy.
01:43 - I thought you'd enjoy this.
01:44 - Yeah, I really like it.
01:45 Thanks so much.
01:46 Thanks for having me.
01:47 - I'm just happy you're here.
01:48 I was very worried about you.
01:49 Had severe cases of some hive ailment.
01:52 - It's always something with me, Dr. Oz.
01:55 Yeah, I took a nice long warm bath
01:57 in this eucalyptus thing
01:59 and my husband came in and was looking at the package
02:01 and he said, "How much did you put in?"
02:03 And I was like, "I don't know.
02:03 "I just dumped a bunch in."
02:04 And he's like, "It says to use a tablespoon, one tablespoon."
02:07 I probably put in like three cups.
02:09 So anyway, needless to say, the next morning I woke up
02:12 and I was covered in hives.
02:15 And then this week they're kind of like coming and going.
02:17 And I had another, they showed up last night
02:21 and I had to take Benadryl, but it helped me sleep, so.
02:23 (laughing)
02:24 - Did you have a doctor on Instacall?
02:27 - No.
02:28 - Your doctor actually?
02:28 - No, I mean, I have my doctors in Los Angeles
02:31 and I call different doctors
02:34 depending on what is happening to me.
02:36 - So there was one health scare you had
02:37 that was a very serious one.
02:39 Which is this ovarian torsion.
02:41 - Yes.
02:42 - Which I love you can explain.
02:42 This is a picture you posted in the hospital.
02:45 - Yeah, there I was.
02:47 - You're not very happy.
02:47 - I was wearing a hysterical female T-shirt
02:50 and I thought that that was pretty funny.
02:52 The irony of that.
02:54 - Yes.
02:55 (audience applauding)
02:55 - Shirt.
02:56 When I was struck.
02:57 - How did you know that you needed to go to the hospital
03:00 for an ovarian torsion?
03:02 - I didn't know what it was.
03:04 All I knew was that I was curled on the floor of the hotel.
03:08 I couldn't get up.
03:09 And I just knew something was very wrong.
03:12 Not since I gave natural childbirth
03:14 have I had that kind of like pain in my abdomen.
03:17 - Come on over here.
03:18 - Okay.
03:18 - I'm gonna show you what ovarian torsion is.
03:20 - Oh my gosh.
03:21 Dr. Oz.
03:22 - This is a highlight.
03:24 By the way, I know you have Oprah on speed dial.
03:28 - I mean, you have Oprah on speed dial.
03:31 Oprah called me one time and it was the highlight
03:34 of my show.
03:35 If you haven't watched it, you can watch that clip
03:37 on YouTube because I can't stop crying when she called me.
03:41 She's like everything to me, Dr. Oz.
03:43 - She's the fairest woman I know.
03:45 - She's.
03:45 - On that note though.
03:48 - She loves organs.
03:49 Are you ready for your organs?
03:50 - Okay.
03:50 - All right.
03:51 - Is that an ovary?
03:53 - This is actually the uterus.
03:55 - Oh, what?
03:55 - Two ovaries.
03:56 - That's how small a uterus is?
03:57 - Yes.
03:58 Go ahead and feel it.
03:59 You feel how strong the muscle is?
04:01 You can hold a baby in there.
04:03 So what happened to you is this ovary twisted like this.
04:08 It flips.
04:09 - He flipped.
04:10 - And when it flips like that,
04:10 you can see that torsion there, that little twist.
04:12 - That's the pain.
04:13 - Yep, that's the pain.
04:14 - It doesn't feel great, you guys.
04:16 It hurts.
04:17 And the problem with that is that when it twists like that,
04:20 it suffocates the ovary and the ovary dies.
04:23 - That happened to a good friend of mine from high school.
04:25 - Oh no.
04:26 - Yeah, and she had her ovary removed.
04:28 She had to have it removed.
04:29 - What happened to you?
04:30 - My ovary flipped back around, non-surgically.
04:34 - Only busy Philips would have an ovary
04:35 that flips on its own.
04:36 - Yeah.
04:37 (audience applauding)
04:38 - But here's the thing.
04:39 The reason I want to talk about this
04:39 is not because you got lucky
04:40 and didn't have the ovarian torsion.
04:42 It's because there was a caption on the post that you made
04:45 that I want everyone to see.
04:46 - Okay.
04:47 - Because you, his writing says,
04:48 "Don't be a hero, go to the doctor."
04:52 And then you called yourself an idiot, right?
04:55 - I felt like an idiot, you know?
04:56 - See, I don't think anyone should be afraid
04:58 to go to a doctor. - Yes.
05:00 - And in order to celebrate that,
05:01 I got you a little present.
05:02 - What?
05:03 - Yes, from now on, I want you to spread the message.
05:06 - No.
05:07 - Yes.
05:08 - Dr. Oz!
05:08 - Your own cutout.
05:09 (audience applauding)
05:11 So I'll start this.
05:13 Now you have a double love me.
05:14 - I'm so excited.
05:15 Can we send this back to LA for you?
05:17 - Yes.
05:18 - Because you know I have a cutout
05:19 of my best friend, Michelle Williams,
05:20 and she's in my office.
05:21 - I know about this. - There she is.
05:22 - She is.
05:23 - So now I'm gonna have my Dr. Oz,
05:26 and I'm gonna ask you questions all the time.
05:28 - That's what I want.
05:29 I want you just to post, say,
05:30 "I've got questions for you."
05:31 - Okay, Dr. Oz, I have questions for you.
05:32 But I really do think, and part of,
05:34 you know, when you talk about Instagram
05:36 and you talk about oversharing and all of these things,
05:39 part of what I think needs to change
05:42 is especially for women.
05:43 Like, we know that women sometimes feel like
05:46 we're just gonna power through
05:47 and we're not gonna go to the doctor.
05:49 And, you know, I feel like it's so important
05:51 to get the message out.
05:52 It's okay, go to the doctor.
05:54 You can go get help, please.
05:57 - Embarrassment is a foolish reason to die.
