Aubrey: I feel like the Aubrey version of I'm coming in fresh is still pretty well versed on this stuff compared to most of the general public. So for listeners that don't know who Dr. Oz is, can you just give us the broad strokes? He was a frequent guest on Oprah Winfrey's show is my recollection. There's basically four different categories of topics that he has on his show. They do 175 shows a year. Oh, and he still does surgery like literal heart surgery one day a week every Thursday.
This week we're dissecting "America's Doctor." How did a smart, hardworking surgeon become one of TV's leading purveyors of junk science? Along the way we debunk green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketones, conversion therapy (!) and a salad dressing skincare regimen.
