So on Dr. Oz today, he talked about..

 CLA - conjugated linoleic acid, which is a type of fat but it helps with fat loss and helps reduce cancer and heart disease. How it works is that goes into the fat cell and breaks up the triglycerides so that it moves the triglyceride out of the cell and ready to burn off. It also reduces cancer and heart disease by helping the body suppress inflammation caused by eating bad foods.
He recommends getting it from natural sources which are grass fed beef and organic dairy products. However, we've actually had these CLA supplements at home for years! I thought abba was just weird and trying to lose weight with them, but looks like there actually is scientific evidence to support this! I think I will try taking these supplements as well.

He aslo went over some natural rememedies:
best natural cure for migraines is butterbur
best natural cure for knee pain is willow bark
best natural cure fore low back pain is devil's claw

and places of where you should store your produce, in which some were quite surprising:
Fridge: Lemons & lime
Counter: Cucumbers, onions, tomatoes
