Dr. Oz is Coming to Atlanta for Health Expo #DrOzOn2

I met Dr. Oz when I was a producer at The Oprah Winfrey Show  (a lifetime ago).  He was this uber smart doctor who got the “Queen of Talk” to chat about poop and farting.  His popularity soared and his own TV show, The Dr. Oz Show was born. And starting this Fall a new chapter in his show starts with a move to Atlanta’s ABC affiliate, WSB-TV, on September 8th at 3pm. He’s bringing healthy back!
To get Atlanta excited about the new channel and the new season of Dr. Oz, the man himself will be attending the USANA Presents: Bringing Healthy Back with Dr. Oz” Health Expo at the Downtown Hilton on September 13th from 9a-5pm. (255 Courtland St NE, Atlanta, GA). The Health Expo is free to attend, but registration is encouraged for attendance (and required for a seat at the “90 Minutes to a Healthier You” show run-through or to get a health check).  Interested in attending? I’ll be there! You can find more information on the event by clicking on the registration link. http://bit.ly/DrOzOn2

Not only will Dr. Oz be at the Health Expo, WSB-TV anchors (Jovita Moore, Justin Farmer, Karen Minton, Katie Walls, Glenn Burns, and Linda Stouffer) will be there as well, and will be available to greet attendees. Jovita Moore and Justin Farmer will also be MC’ing the “90 Minutes to a Healthier You” show.

Dr. Oz, Jovita Moore, & Justin Farmer can all be seen on WSB-TV starting this month.

In addition to Dr. Oz and the WSB-TV anchors, the Health Expo will include an all-star roster of experts and clinics including:

• Heartburn Help clinic: Internationally recognized Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) specialist, Dr. C. Daniel Smith of Buckhead Surgical Associates, will be on-site to conduct heartburn and GERD testing. Some registrants will be eligible for on-site diagnostic scoping to further assess their circumstances.
