Oz, the eldest child of Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz, co-authors of the #1 New York Times bestselling book "You: The Owner's Manual," [2] was born in Philadelphia, PA. Raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, she graduated from Dwight-Englewood School in 2004 and from Princeton University in 2008.[3] While at college, Oz penned her national bestseller, "The Dorm Room Diet" (Newmarket Press, 2006), to document her successful approach to avoiding the "Freshman 15" without sacrificing any of the wonderful experiences college has to offer.[4] The book aims to encourage students to see their time on campus as an opportunity to develop healthy, adult habits that will last them a lifetime.[5] The healthy lifestyle advocated by Oz, combined with the unique perspective she offered writing for college students as a current student herself, earned her and her book features in The New York Times,[3] The Wall Street Journal,[6] People, The Washington Post[7] Reader's Digest,[8] Teen Vogue, Cosmo Girl! and Seventeen. Oz and her book also made appearances on Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, The Dr. Oz Show, The Nate Berkus Show, The Tyra Banks Show, and NPR's Weekend Edition.[9]
