Aired on Lifetime Television for Women

Show 320

 

In an intimate chat with Patti LaBelle, Dr. Lisa learns how Patti discovered that she was diabetic. "I collapsed onstage and thought I had been overworking. I'm not one to go to the doctor as much as I should." On the road to healing, Patti tells Dr. Lisa, "I wrote a cookbook for people who want to live and eat healthy." Her book is titled, Patti LaBelle's Lite Cuisine. "What's next?" asks Dr. Lisa. "I'm recording my first gospel album, The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle. All the proceeds are going to cancer research," says Patti, an amazing and beautiful woman. "It's all about what you can give back."
