Background: Consumption of social media has quickly evolved into a primary source of health information for many consumers. This seems to be particularly true for individuals seeking to modify chronic health conditions like weight loss, obesity, and obesity-related diseases. Purpose: This study explores whether watching Dr. Oz weight loss episodes influences a viewer's health behaviors around obesity and weight loss. Methods: Changes in lifestyle habits were evaluated with pre- and post-wellness surveys. Dependent t tests were used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in the self-reported behaviors of the control and Dr. Oz group before and after the study time period. Results: Preintervention and postintervention surveys suggest that health television shows were not likely to influence health behaviors for most of the participants. A statistically significant result from one of the survey questions demonstrates the need for an expanded study with a more generalizable population. Discussion: Results reveal the need for health professionals to better understand where patients receive health information and how information received from social media sources is utilized. Translation to Health Education Practice: Social media may be a useful device for health promotion by practitioners to reach their patients.
