Dr. Oz is not only the chairman but the founder and chairman of HealthCorps. It is a non-profit organization, which offers a small stipend to recent college graduates who then mentor high school students for two years in the areas of health, nutrition, and fitness. He is also a co-founder of Sharecare, Inc., which allows for a question and answer forum by experts in the health field.

Television Career


Dr. Oz appeared on the Oprah Show several years ago and the world fell in love with him. His sincerity about wanting to educate the world about making better health care choices was evident from the start.


He also appeared on Discovery, CBS, ABC, CNN and many other television shows.


His popularity grew and he was offered his own show on CBS, which has grown in popularity.


Oz wants to help people improve their quality of life. He is very serious and truly wants to help to solve medical problems. He is open to using natural methods or to help people to prevent different types of diseases.


Each time I watch the show I am taken in by a new tip for health and wellness. I have learned tips that range from recipes for wellness to tips to brush my teeth more effectively. What people need to realize is that every single part of the body is AS important as any other part. If you neglect one small part, it affects the others.


This man really cares about human beings. I challenge you to watch his show and can almost guarantee that you too will become and Oz addict.

I've never watched any daytime television in my life but ironically my dad, who I never would have guessed would do the same, was raving about how good this show was. Now I have the show recording daily on my DVR, not that I'll watch all of them but I agree that he is great and the show is very interesting and useful. Voted up and useful.
