The prescription for a healthy life? Less pills, more prevention.
Meet the amazing Dr. Weil, a man whose life mission is to keep people healthy and vibrant through diet, lifestyle and prevention—everyday choices that can drastically improve our lives.
Dr. Weil talks about his new book, Why Our Health Matters and explains what’s wrong with health care today (too many costs, too many pills, not enough prevention). He shares his insights into integrative medicine, which goes beyond the standard surgery-and-drugs treatment and uses a comprehensive mind/body/lifestyle approach to health.
Dr. Weil also offers tips on eating an organic, anti-inflammatory (i.e. anti-aging) diet, the benefits of yoga and why tea should be everyone’s drink of choice.
Hailed by listeners as one of the “best of the best,” this powerful and refreshing interview knocked Kathleen’s socks off. Tune in and get stoked about taking charge of your health.

He is also the founder of the Foundation for Integrative Medicine and editor-in-chief of the professional journal Integrative Medicine.
The whole integrated health system sounds wonderful, and I wish more than anything it could happen, but……… Do we really think the big powers in control of this field right now are going to allow anything like this to happen in America? The M.D.’s are basically thought by Pharmaceutical reps how and what to presribe, the M.D.’s don’t have the time or reason to research for themselves alternatives to the ever increasing NEW and so-called better drugs of choice. It is so out of control and such a big problem, and so sad that in order for patients to finally find help and relief of inflamatory based conditions (which are most of them) and finally seek alternative health sources, they must first start with the MD’s protocol, yes due to the formulated healthcare system today. I think we are hard pressed to think we can change this format, but we can educate, knowledge is power!!!
