South Beach psychiatrist and author Dr. Eva Ritvo is at Books & Books on Thursday, September 8 at 7pm for a discussion and signing of her inspirational guide book, The Beauty Prescription: The Complete Formula for Looking and Feeling Beautiful, which she co-wrote with her friend, Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Debra Luftman.

This is one of two free events sponsored by the Cayman Islands Diabetes Charitable Trust in support of the Cayman Islands Cancer Society’s biannual Cancer Health Fair. Dr. Eva will also speak at The Fair, which will be held at the Marriott Hotel ballroom on Saturday, September 10 from 8:30am-2pm.

Dr. Eva recently visited Cayman in June to lead a motivational boot camp for teenagers as part of the Cayman Islands Diabetes Charitable Trust’s first annual Diabetes Week and she is looking forward to returning for these upcoming events. “I am very excited to be part of The Fair. Mental health issues are so vital to overall health and wellbeing and it’s so important that these issues will be discussed at The Fair. I will talk about how to make healthy choices and stick to them. We will also talk about the basics for maintaining a positive outlook especially in times of high stress.
