URBAN ZEN WELL-BEING FORUM
April 16 & 17, 2009
“Everything we eat has an effect on our body,” says Donna Karan. Doctors agree that the cornerstone of good health is healthy nutrition-but many people aren’t sure about what foods to eat. That’s why Urban Zen in its 2009 Well-Being Speaker Series gathered a stellar collection of doctors, experts, and health advocates to share their wisdom on nutrition-in a two day program on April 17th and 18th at the Stephan Weiss Studio in Lower Manhattan. Leading doctors, bestselling authors, and researchers, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Colin Campbell, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Woodson Merrell, Dr. James Gordon, Dr. Marcelle Pick, Dr. Frank Lipman, and Dr. Neal Barnard, along with a diverse range of health advocates and experts spoke to a gathered assembly, including Urban Zen Integrative Therapists-the participants in a ground-breaking program led by renowned yoga teachers, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee, and launched at New York’s Beth Israel Hospital under the guidance of Dr. Woodson Merrell, Director of Integrative Medicine.
