January 27th, 1997. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us ‘The New Fountain of Youth Pills’, with testimony about the success of serotonin pills.
“So, this little pill, you suggest, tells the brain that your belly is really full even when it’s not…”
Dr. Levine explains his book and the medication, before we meet Paula, who struggled to lose weight before trying the new approach outlined in ‘The Redux Revolution’. She successfully lost 35 pounds in 4 months and we see the before and after results as Paula is brought into studio. She describe being hesitant when starting, but noticing effects after only two weeks.
Redux continues to be sold today.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
