Shows airing during premiere week feature signature elements that have made "The Dr. Oz Show" a hit with viewers: life-saving tools and information; fun ways to deal with embarrassing topics like belly fat and bodily waste; and a first-ever television experiment with "The Dr. Oz Show" audience. Additionally, Dr. Oz launches a fiery campaign against those who subversively capitalize on show topics and use his name to market their products illegally, and First Lady Michelle Obama discusses important changes that will affect every school child in America as part of her effort to combat obesity.

In the season premiere airing Mon., Sept. 10, Dr. Oz is back - and he's mad as hell! He's taking on the companies duping viewers. But first, it's the biggest Oz experiment in television history - 100 women test the popular fat burner that has created a tsunami of attention and unprecedented popularity. "The Dr. Oz Show" medical unit and advisory board put it to the test - tune in to find out what it is and if it's one of the most important discoveries in battling obesity. Then, you may see Dr. Oz's endorsements in stores and online, but are they true? Dr. Oz addresses the companies falsely using his name and image to market vitamins, supplements and foods. See the surprise reaction of Facebook, Amazon and eBay when Dr. Oz confronts them about the rogue marketers using their platforms to falsely associate their products with Dr. Oz's name.

On Tues., Sept. 11, the entire "The Dr. Oz Show" audience puts on the purple gloves - a first for the show - and faces the truth about their health. They'll all be holding a human organ - the one they want to restart now! You've seen Dr. Oz demo hearts, livers and lungs before, but never like this. He shows you how to reverse the damage and get healthy from the inside out - connecting with the body doesn't get more real. Dr. Oz explains how we can restart our bodies today, beginning with the four key organs that are key to changing how long we will live, how good we will feel and even how many pounds we can lose. He's starting with the number-one organ making you feel fat and tired in a show that will teach that it's never too late to start over.

On Wed., Sept. 12, Dr. Oz and First Lady Michelle Obama sit down for the first time on Dr. Oz's stage! In an unbelievably candid and relaxed interview, the First Lady shares her health concerns for her and her family, and how she really feels about the President's diet on the Campaign Trail. Mrs. Obama exclusively discusses two new issues to her Let's Move! initiative. She reveals updates to the Presidential Youth Fitness Program and takes the interview off the couch to teach us her jump-rope work-out - see if Dr. Oz can keep up. Then, Mrs. Obama plays lunch lady to three kid taste-testers, unveiling the new improvements to the federal guidelines for school lunches taking effect this school year. Mrs. Obama will also answer viewer questions and even teach Dr. Oz how to Dougie.

On Thurs., Sept. 13, it's the wildest, most outrageous questions of all time. Dr. Oz is devoting an entire hour to viewers' most agonizing and awkward health problems, starting with the questions too extreme to air - until now! From diarrhea to the mysterious condition known as "camel toe," Dr. Oz takes a deep dive into what's causing your most confounding health problems. Then, Dr. Oz unveils viewers' embarrassing health videos and he welcomes guests whose embarrassing photos sparked amazing health transformations.

On Fri., Sept. 14, 50 women filled with emotional baggage making them fat, tired and sick get one last chance to turn it all around. Dr. Oz asks: what's holding you back from getting healthy? A special audience has packed their metaphorical and physical baggage, but they have no idea Dr. Oz is taking them to Miraval Resort in Tucson, AZ - straight from the studio - for an intervention of a lifetime. Their experience can help you heal, too. Valorie Burton, author of "What's Really Holding You Back," joins Dr. Oz and the group of women on this voyage, and she'll help you move past your worry and doubt to take control of your health for good. It's an hour of breakdowns and breakthroughs - even for Dr. Oz!
