I love doing TV segments where we can talk plainly.

Today on @nbcnews.com, we had that type of conversation.

Takeaway from today: even when lab results are normal, they don’t always tell the whole story.

I always appreciate these kinds of conversations: clear, practical, and actually useful.

Back on @TODAYshow and @NBCNews Daily tomorrow Tuesday April 7

Most people get their lab results seeā€œnormalā€ and move on

Tomorrow we break down what your labs are actually telling you and what most people completely overlook

I’m excited to share that I’ve signed a book deal with Johns Hopkins University Press to write The Check In.

It’s built around the questions that help start important conversations about men’s health.

Too often those conversations happen later than they should.

If you ever get the chance to chase a dream, I hope you take that first step.

The younger me didn’t know every step to take on this journey, but he could see the path, which has led to moments like yesterday and to all the ones still ahead.

Today is my birthday. What I know for sure is this: age adds years, but life adds depth.

And that depth is the true gift I celebrate today.

Health ā€œbuzzwordsā€ spread faster than facts. From social media to the doctor’s office, words like ā€˜inflammation’ and ā€˜detox’ sound simple but can mislead.

Are they helping us…or just hype?

Catch me this Thursday, August 28, 2025, during the 3rd Hour of TODAY (9 a.m. ET) as I break it all down.

Every patient deserves this conversation. This morning, I had it live on national TV with a physician, talking prescriptions, OTC meds, and supplements.

Segment coming soon! Meanwhile, here are some behind-the-scenes moments from my NBC Today Show morning.

If you know me and my Survivor story, you’ll get why this moment hits different.

Being part of the Survivor family is one of the real blessings, and now that I’m in, moments like this come with it.

And I’m here for it.

One year ago, I turned in my phone before leaving LA for Fiji to play the game. Six weeks completely offline.

One of the best things I ever did, and I didn’t expect to appreciate it this much.

So I’ll ask… when’s the last time you totally unplugged? If you haven’t, give it a try. It’s worth it.

That time at Kyle’s wedding when we pretended to be best friends from college before Survivor made it official. šŸ˜‚

Came home to these thoughtful gifts from CBS and production. I think I know what’s inside šŸ˜œā€¦ but yeah, still a little too soon.

These boxes can wait.

There are moments in life when you realize you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, doing exactly what you’re meant to be doing.

Yesterday was one of those days.

I’ve heard from many of you, and the message landed. For those who needed to hear it, I’m so glad it did.

Every second was worth it.

I’m excited to be headed back to Studio 1A this week for the 3rd hour of the TODAY Show!

With Father’s Day around the corner, we’ll be talking about men’s health and the health tests you need (including some you have probably never heard of) that could save your life.

See you Thursday morning!

Whether you loved me, liked me, were neutral, or firmly in the ā€œnot a fanā€ camp—thanks for watching.

Thanks for the love, the roasts, the hate, memes, and everything in between. I learned a lot, laughed a lot (sometimes at myself), and had the experience of a lifetime.

From Chrissy to now Kyle, Joe, and Eva—and as the jury grew, others joined me on those steps.

A simple act to show that, beyond the game, life continues—and so do the connections we make along the way.

Kyle, Joe, and Eva arrived at Ponderosa—just hours after the final tribal council. We had our winner, and the season was coming to a close.

After I’d been voted out, I started a quiet tradition: sitting on the steps to welcome each person after they were voted out…

The greatest gift Survivor gives you isn’t the title or the prize—it’s the people.

We shared chaos and unforgettable moments that built real bonds. Since the game ended, I’ve had meaningful talks with each of them.

They get it in a way no one else ever will. That’s the real win.

We got our letters from home, too.

Still on the jury, still in Fiji, still with no contact from the outside world.

I used to think those tearful TV moments you see on Survivor were over the top. But after 5+ weeks with no contact, that envelope hit harder than I ever expected. #Survivor48

Seeing the game from the jury bench hits different. But here’s what you didn’t see: from the moment we started walking up the ramp to take our seats, David managed to hold this exact expression the entire Tribal.

I repeat—these are not serious people.

Best seat in the house, even better company. Out of the game, but far from done.

From the OR to the green room—looking forward to joining the ABGH Summit next week in San Diego.

I’ll be moderating ā€œA Voice of Your Own: Digestive Health in Media & the Arts,ā€ a panel exploring how culture, storytelling, and creativity can shift the conversation—and the outcomes—around gut health.
