Hearst Magazines will roll out its newest title, Dr. Oz, The Good Life, Feb. 4.

"If I need to be on every cover, I will be.” He also weighed in on the color of the pilot's cover, a deliberately gender-neutral blue. “I always felt strongly that we treat women too delicately, and putting a little testosterone in the message makes them...
