He is expected to discuss his personal health and explain why a presidential candidate’s health is an important issue in this campaign. The Republican presidential nominee has raised doubts about Clinton’s health in recent weeks, suggesting that she’s unfit to serve as president. Her campaign, in turn, [questioned the legitimacy](https://www.hillaryclinton.com/feed/donald-trump-got-a-clean-bill-of-health-from-a-physician-who-sounds-remarkably-like-donald-trump/) of a much-discussed [letter from Trump’s physician](http://time.com/4148111/donald-trump-health-report/), who described Trump’s strength and stamina as “extraordinary.” Clinton released her medical records during the primary, [presenting a detailed letter](http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/31/us/politics/hillary-clinton-doctor-letter.html) from her physician, who said Clinton was in “excellent” health and described medical conditions including hyperactive thyroid and seasonal allergies. The [letter](https://www.donaldjtrump.com/images/uploads/trump%5Fhealth%5Frecord.pdf) from Trump’s doctor was shorter and more hyperbolic. “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” Dr. Harold Bornstein wrote in the letter. He [later said](http://time.com/4469201/donald-trump-doctor-health-letter/) his writing was inspired by Trump’s style of speaking. Oz has [faced scrutiny](http://time.com/3642533/dr-oz-advice/) over the validity of the medical advice on his show. A 2014 report suggested that viewers approach the show’s medical recommendations with skepticism. Oz has defended himself repeatedly, noting in a [2015 op-ed for TIME](http://time.com/3831926/dr-oz-criticism-answers/) that while he most often practices conventional medicine, he believes in also exploring alternative approaches. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4486249/donald-trump-dr-oz-health-regimen/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4486249/donald-trump-dr-oz-health-regimen/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Discuss 'Personal Health Regimen' on Dr. Oz Show","datePublished":"2016-09-09T22:17:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:30:43.192Z","description":"He and Hillary Clinton have raised questions about each other's health","url":"https://time.com/4486249/donald-trump-dr-oz-health-regimen/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte5fd18893103a0db/6988a57ca988caded26b95df/donald-trump-dr-oz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte5fd18893103a0db/6988a57ca988caded26b95df/donald-trump-dr-oz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Campaigns In Cleveland","caption":"GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Campaigns In Cleveland","creditText":"Angelo Merendino/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4486249/donald-trump-dr-oz-health-regimen/","name":"Donald Trump to Discuss 'Personal Health Regimen' on Dr. Oz Show"}}]}] ```
