Dr. Oz, who doesn’t love him? If you aren’t a fan of Oprah, and have only watched one, single episode, it was probably an episode with Dr. Oz in it. He’s been on over 50 Oprah episodes, explaining health and our bodies better than anyone is his scrubs. The ladies love him, and the guys listen to him, which is why he’s got his own show on the way.
Not unlike Dr. Phil, who I must say I have never been a fan of, Dr. Oz made his mark on Oprah’s talk show with a unique way to consider health. Due to his popularity, Oprah offered to help him get his own show going.
During Dr. Oz’s first week on the tube he will have special guests Bob Harper from “The Biggest Loser,” Tim Gunn from “Project Runway,” and everyone’s favorite veterinary Dr. Marty Becker. In his first week, he will run the gamete of special guests, preparing viewers for an educational and inspiring season. 
With the health care crisis the topic at hand right now in America, it’s no wonder that Oprah was poised to get Dr. Oz’s show up and running. Everyone from the health care conscious to the couch potatoes will no doubt be tuning into Dr. Oz’s new show to hear what he has to say about hour health care situation.
Earlier this morning, I listened to Dr. Oz on a local radio talk show here in Arizona. Of course, he was marketing his show as only Dr. Oz can, but he was asked quite a bit about his views on the health care crisis. His responses were very interesting.
Dr. Oz was not coy in his belief that the best and only way to cure America’s health care crisis is through preventative care of the mind and body and emotions. He seems to absolutely believe that no amount of money or government aided health care reform will change the situation America is in, and he may be right.
According to a few resources, nearly 65% of all American’s are obese, and almost 20% of our children are overweight. These numbers are staggering, but Dr. Oz isn’t just worried about our weight issues. On the morning talk show he spoke candidly about the emotional health of American’s and the lack of intimacy and relaxation in our lives. He went on to say that his biggest concern is not the amount of money the government will spend, nor the amount of food we over-indulge on, but the amount of love in our lives. Very Oprah, right?
He might have a point, however:
· In 2009, heart disease is projected to cost more than $304.6 billion, including health care services, medications, and lost productivity. (CDC)
· According to a paper published Monday in Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association, fewer than 8% of all Americans can now be considered at low risk for heart disease. No one needs a statisticians’ help to know that that means more than 92% of us are not as healthy as we could be and that’s worth paying attention to.(Time)
