“America’s Doctor”, Dr. Mehmet Oz is truly a healing hero. His passion for his work is abundantly palpable. He inspires millions upon millions every year with TV appearances, magazine and newspaper interviews, a radio show, and a multitude of bestselling books. With all of those extracurricular activities he still works at his “day job” as a cardiothoracic surgeon and performs over 200 surgical procedures each year.

Right now I have two of his books that he wrote along with Dr. Michael Roizen on my nightstand.
You: Staying Young: The Owner’s Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You) and
You: On A Diet: The Owner’s Manual for Waist Management. I think it would do me good to finish reading them both and incorporate more of that passionate wisdom into my own life.

What I, Karen Lynch have Learned from Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz has inspired me for a long time. Of course, I first saw him on Oprah and to this day I never miss an Oprah show with Dr. Oz. Who else in the world can get on TV and show us the details of such things as a healthy kidney vs. an unhealthy kidney, a healthy heart vs. and unhealthy heart ( yes, the real things), or about the lacy-looking organ in our body that has the only purpose of catching and storing fat, (that would be the “omentum”. Yes, we all want a healthy “omentum”!) and of course, I’ve never heard anyone talk on national TV with as much candor as Dr. Oz does about that elimination thing that we all do. Dr. Oz, single-handedly got America to pay attention to their poop!

He also recommends eating whole foods, exercise, meditation, yoga, tai chi and having sex 200+ times per year. It all sounds good to me. And it will make me healthy besides? Sounds great!

But with all of that what I really admire is his passion. He has such a passion for what he does and for teaching others. You can tell that he truly loves his work and he is connected to his highest self and giving to the world the best that he has. And that by itself is incredibly inspiring!
