A Midtown Minute with Dr. Oz

You've probably seen Dr. Oz on the cover of the new January issue of O Magazine, telling Oprah in an in-depth interview that "Every person has the right to look and feel like a million bucks."

I had my own chance to interview Dr. Oz recently during his visit to Atlanta for Oprah's O You! conference at the Georgia World Congress Center.

(I had no idea how many women have a crush on Dr. Oz - kind of scary!)

Since the holidays were coming up, I decided to ask the host of The Dr. Oz Show for his number one tip on how to deal with holiday stress.

(He smiled when I said working for Oprah has got to be a little bit stressful. If you watched her Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes reality show on OWN, you know what I mean!)

Here's what Dr. Oz told me about how to deal with holiday stress:

"Stress is a big issue for everybody, we all know that. But you have to realize it's the energy you bring to the equation that creates most of the stress.

"If you create positive energy, if the motivating force for you is love, stress rapidly diminishes. The best way to deal with stress is community. Bring people into your life."
