More quotes by Mehmet Oz
I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up, and I make it short because, like you, I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.

You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
Mehmet Oz
I meditate and I'm passionate about it.
Mehmet Oz
I don't operate on smokers. I tell cigarette smokers that I can operate on you, I get paid the same. And you might even do well. But it's the wrong thing to do. So I refuse to operate on you until you stop smoking.
Mehmet Oz
I think I'm a better doctor than I am a husband. I give myself a good grade as a doctor, then the next best grade as a father, and the worst grade as a husband.

Mehmet Oz
We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.
Mehmet Oz
Medicine is a jealous mistress. It demands all your time.
Mehmet Oz
The rule I use is, If it doesn't come out of the ground looking the way it looks when you eat it, be careful. There's no such thing as a PowerBar tree.
Mehmet Oz
If you change your lifestyle, remember it's not a wind sprint, but it's a marathon you're embarked on, and you'll be able to stay there.
Mehmet Oz
I've always felt that, when I looked at my tombstone, it shouldn't say, 'Mehmet Oz banged out 10,000 open-heart operations.' I've probably done 5,000. Am I any better at it than 10,000? He shook his head. It's just a different number on the tombstone.
Mehmet Oz
We need a wholesale reevaluation of what health feels like. Most Americans don't even know what that is anymore. I want to tell people, Listen, there are places where you can focus on your health, and it can actually be simple.
Mehmet Oz
I believe science has a wonderful ability, in an unbiased way, to offer hope to many people who are confused, but it's not the only way to find hope.
Mehmet Oz
Our ancestors had to eat whenever food was around. And we're actually still hardwired the same way. The big difference is we don't have to hunt for our food. For us, hunting comes down to sliding the milk carton out of the way.
Mehmet Oz
It's difficult to love someone you don't respect, which is hard to remember when you're having an argument.
Mehmet Oz
Rather than munching on a bag of potato chips, stick to fresh fruit and veggies.

Food - I love nuts. I eat them all the time, they're easy to carry around, and I am never hungry all day long.
