ShareDid you see the news headlines this week regarding good ol’ Dr Oz?
Let me fill you in quickly.
Dr Oz appeared before the Senate’s consumer protection panel and was scolded by Chairman Claire McCaskill for claims he made about weight-loss aids on his TV show, “The Dr. Oz Show.”
Wait. This is the best part. She let rip at him…
“I don’t get why you need to say this stuff, because you know it’s not true,” McCaskill said to Oz in the hearing.
BOOM!
Seriously, it’s about time someone called him out for endorsing “miracle in a bottle” weight loss supplements that are not regulated by the FDA or proven by solid, scientific research (research that is not sponsored by a supplement company).
Let’s get something straight. The next big “breakthrough” drug, miracle pill or liquid will never, EVER transform the health of ANYONE.
But hey, not according to Dr Oz.
If you’ve ever watched his show, you know what I’m talking about.
=> Raspberry ketones for fat loss?
=> Metabolism boosting pills?
=> Lemon Detox cleanses?
The list of garbage products he promotes goes on and on. And what’s worse is that my clients seriously consider using these products “because Dr Oz said it works.”
GRRR! It makes me SO angry.
There is NO magic pill.
Like really, this stuff doesn’t actually work? <= insert sarcasm.
No shit Sherlock. Pardon my French, but that’s one of my favorite Aussie sayings.
You know, every single day someone reaches out wanting me to promote their “miracle supplement” or fat loss program.
And you know what I do?
Delete, delete, delete.
Everything I stand behind and endorse MUST pass the “mum” test… meaning if I wouldn’t recommend my mum to try it, I wouldn’t recommend it to you or ANYONE for that matter. I take the time to review everything, and real scientific research is what I base all my work on.
I have a responsibility to provide you with the BEST and latest research based information to improve your health. And I take that position VERY seriously.
While Oz does has some great segments on his show… As far as I’m concerned, he is spreading misinformation and making the problem worse.
Here’s the harsh truth…
You have to commit to your body transformation. Own it. Take action and be responsible for where you’re at right now.
You have to take full responsibility. It takes persistence and old fashioned hard work to change your life, not some random pill.
Say YES to working out and fresh healthy food, and NO to the processed junk food literally killing you with every bite.
Ok, I’ll get off my soap box now and go back to watching the World Cup.
Clearly, we don’t see eye to eye. Dr Oz, get real and quit endorsing bogus weight loss products.
