A press release from the show indicated that while Oz had gone through the results of Trump’s most recent physical and family medical history, conducted by Trump’s longtime personal physician, Harold Bornstein, he had not examined Trump’s own personal medical history. The statement did not provide additional specifics.
Trump’s campaign had said Wednesday morning that the results would not be disclosed during the television taping.
The appearance with Oz came hours before Trump was to visit Flint, Michigan to condemn the government failure which led to that city’s water crisis.
The Manhattan billionaire taped an interview with TV’s Dr. Mehmet Oz to discuss his health. An audience member told Bloomberg that Oz called Trump a dream patient for someone who is 70 years old. “He’s always happy to answer”. Farenthold claimed, “We asked them for comment on that story, and then after the fact they said it was inaccurate, but did not point out any inaccuracies”. “Oh my lord”, she said. Trump made the admission of his desire to lose weight after Dr. Oz noted that Trump’s BMI seemed a bit high.
Trump told Oz that he takes statins for cholesterol and eats fast food largely because restaurant chains offer consistency during his frequent travels, Politico reported.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s body mass index calculator, the 6-foot-3 Trump would be considered overweight at 236 pounds and obese at 267 pounds. The most notorious example, which was investigated by the Federal Trade Commission, involved Lindsey Duncan, who appeared on The Dr. Oz Show to promote those aforementioned green coffee beans. That him “moving his hands around when he was speaking” was a work out.
“Dr. Oz to Trump: ‘Your testosterone is 441, which is actually good.’ Laughter & applause”.
While Oz told Fox News he wanted to ask Trump “pointed questions about his health”, he also said he wouldn’t press his guest on the issue.
Earlier this week, Oz told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that Oz would be reviewing the results of a physical Trump underwent last week. “I’ll leave it to him when to do it”.

Thirty-six percent of registered voters say the Republican presidential nominee’s health is above average or excellent compared to 33 percent in late August, according to a Morning Consult poll released Wednesday. “I did not do the tests myself so I can’t confirm that the data was all right, but the summary is clear”.
