Let’s ALL Get Real, Dr. Phil.

by

Back when Dr. Phil (and Dr. Oz, too) were once a week guests on Oprah's show, I really looked forward to watching them and found them to be incredibly wise and credible.  Somehow, when they got their own shows, it started to feel like overkill.  While my dvr is set to record Dr. Oz daily, and I do watch many of them, I find I really have to sort through a lot of stuff that is … [Read more...] about Let’s ALL Get Real, Dr. Phil.
