Dr. Oz's 10 Ways to Live Healthier

Find a health advocate.

Step 6: Find a Health Advocate

Dr. Oz says a health advocate can be anyone—your spouse, child, relative or friend. "Bring someone who's actually going to pay attention and understands the process and takes notes," he says.

When you are under stress from doctors' diagnoses or are too sick to speak up for yourself, it's crucial to have someone helping you. "Get someone who you trust and make them your partner in this process."




As a reminder, always consult your doctor for medical advice and treatment before starting any program.
