The Dr. Oz Show debuts on September 14th and stars Dr. Mehmet Oz, heart surgeon and health guru. Dr. Oz made 55 appearances on the Oprah show in 5 years and how will be running his own show that will be co-produced by Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television. It is interesting how Oz actually got Oprah to appear on his first show, Second Opinion, and I guess that opened it up for this guy to become famous enough to have his own show now.
Oz has a big agenda for the show, “There is no question we can save lives every day if we can motivate people to do what we’re talking about.” The show will usually open with a relevant health topic and then it will end with the audience participation (questions) part. In between he will give health advice with a personal or story related twist as he feels that lecturing to the public does not work as well.
What I thought was the best is that Oz and crew have been monitoring the food brought to Jimmy Fallon’s studio down the hall. What they will do with that information remains to be seen, but I think that will be a good show.
Oz has the ability to make a show like this work, but he has to be careful that he does not get too gimmicky or crazy with how he presents the information. Even good information presented in too silly of a way can make the audience lose confidence in the speaker. I am all for the show though because I think average America needs a kick in the butt to eat healthy and exercise.

Hell, I’ll admit it – I can’t claim to know if anything he’s saying is remotely true, kind of true, or fact, but he’s amazingly good at presenting his thoughts/ ideas (veracious or not) and half the problem with the issues he deals with is communicating them to actual, everyday people.
Dear Dr. Oz.
I’ve had a stroke so my typing maynot be so good. I’ll go slowly. sometimes that helps.
I really need your help. I’ve struggled with mental health issues all my life…major depression, OCD , and GAD. Now I have stoke issues in addition. I have dizziness, and recenatly fell with amnesia for the event. I had a brief dissoiative episode. I have a dissoiative personality. Neither my husband or I have any faith in my current neurologist and he’s supposed to be the best in the areA. My husband is a neuropharmacologist and toxicologist, so I trustt his opinion.
Can you suggest an excellent neurologist. If it requires travel, I will need someone to travel with me. I can’t do it alone. I will need some generous person to pay for this travel companion’s travel.
Would you please help me? I respect you so much. I couldn’t tahink of anyone else to turn to.
