This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the 1st annual Health & Happiness Summit at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. The event was hosted by Dr. Oz and featured presentations by health experts, including Lisa Oz, Dr. Perricone, Dr. Northrup and Dr. Wentz on topics ranging from obesity, anti-aging, and proper sleep, to toxins in the home.

The theme of this event was the direct link between our health and our ability to experience happiness in our lives. Happiness has been directly correlated to the relative degree of hope and control we feel over the circumstances in our life, and also our ability to enjoy our surroundings, live without pain or illness, and create healthy relationships.

We have little control over many of the things that happen in our life, however what we can control are the choices we make when it comes to eating and living a healthy lifestyle. When we take control of how we live and how we feel, this translates into feeling more in control in other aspects of our lives.

Regardless of where you are on the health and happiness spectrum, I wanted to share my favorite tips and insights from the summit, in the hopes of inspiring you to live a life of abundant and optimal health. More

This is one of my favorite reference books for women’s health.

Dr. Christian Northrup is an obstetrician and gynecologist, with a complementary and holistic approach to health. She has written a number of books on women’s health and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show multiple times. She is a proponent of mind-body wellness and complementary medicine.

There are so many health issues that are unique to women and which are unfortunately increasing at significant rates. From infertility to miscarriages, cysts, endometriosis and certain female-specific cancers, it’s important to understand what is happening in our bodies and how to prevent and treat these conditions by addressing the factors that can contribute to them. This book covers all of these conditions in great detail and also provides an overview of our bodies, as well as strategies to create vibrant health.

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom is an excellent resource in both prevention as well as management of existing conditions. Dr. Northrup explains the potential causes and contributing factors, as well as the conventional and complementary treatment options that are available, including diet, supplements and lifestyle strategies. She then takes it to another level by looking at the mind-body connection, and the role of emotions and our psychology on our body and health. More
