I love watching Dr.Oz on television as he offers important advice and information. I try not to miss an episode and even have it set to record, which I will have to adjust as starting this Fall his show is moving to Atlanta’s ABC affiliate, WSB-TV. On September 8th at 3pm, he’s bringing healthy back! 


Atlanta, get ready for the new channel and the new season of Dr. Oz, by attending this upcoming FREE event - 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 highly 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).  For more information about Dr. Oz's move to WSB, the "Bringing Healthy Back with Dr. Oz" event, and easy access to the event's registration page, please visit
