The Dr. Oz Show

What The Dr. Oz Show does

The Dr. Oz Show is an American syndicated daytime television talk show that premiered in 2009 and ran for 13 seasons, hosted by cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz. The program delivered health, wellness, and lifestyle content — including medical guidance, beauty and recipe tips, supplement recommendations, relationship advice, and financial wellness — to a broad general-consumer audience of health-conscious viewers in the United States. Content was produced in association with Discovery Communications, where Dr. Oz served as chief medical consultant.

The offering extended beyond the broadcast itself into a multi-platform media brand: an official YouTube channel distributes on-demand video, a print partnership with Hearst included The Good Life Magazine (a decade-long collaboration) and a newspaper column syndicated across 175 international markets for 15 years, and HealthCorps — a nonprofit founded by Dr. Oz and his wife Lisa in 2003 — has placed young coordinators in over 250 U.S. high schools to teach diet, fitness, and mental resilience, raising $80 million and reaching nearly 3 million teens. Dr. Oz separately co-founded the digital health platform Sharecare.com.

The show concluded in 2022 when Dr. Oz secured the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania; he was subsequently appointed the 17th Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The underlying entity remains a privately held, single-figure-employee media brand with no disclosed revenue model beyond legacy broadcast and digital syndication arrangements, and the corporate ownership structure is not formally documented in available sources.
