Dr. Oz plans health expo in Chicago
Dr. Mehmet Oz, Emmy award-winning host of “The Dr. Oz Show, today announced plans for an all-day health and wellness event on Saturday, Nov. 6, in Millennium Park.
The Dr. Oz Health Expo: Chicago, will focus on personal health and wellness. The event is free to the public.
“I want to spend a day in Chicago teaching people the five numbers that can save their lives, and giving them the Dr. Oz Show experience up close and personal, Oz said. “We will have plenty of things to touch, eat, feel and learn and we hope you leave the expo a smarter patient than when you walked in. This is the town where I learned how to be on television, so now I am back to teach Chicago how to stay healthy.
Features of the expo include:
Just 10 Challenge: an exhibit that focuses on the benefits and methods of losing Just 10 pounds. This challenge is a running theme throughout the current second season of “The Dr. Oz Show and follows success stories throughout the year. The expo will feature some of the experts on the Just 10 team and a station for each of the Just 10 tips.
The AOD Anatomy Lab: Participants will don Dr. Oz's popular purple rubber gloves and see, touch and learn about real cadaverous human and animal organs as they are shown on the show each day. Medical students will be on-hand to show and tell fascinating insights into how our bodies work.
Truth Tube CHICAGO: Straight from the set of “The Dr. Oz Show comes the Truth Tube, a chamber where those who enter learn their vital statistics and their Real Age. Who in Chicago will be brave enough to enter?
