Andrew Weil, M.D., is a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, a healing-oriented approach to health care that encompasses body, mind, and spirit.
After completing a medical internship at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco, he worked a year with the National Institute of Mental Health, then wrote his first book, The Natural Mind. From 1971-1975, as a Fellow of the Institute of Current World Affairs, Dr. Weil traveled widely in North and South America and Africa collecting information on drug use in other cultures, medicinal plants, and alternative methods of treating disease. From 1971-1984 he was on the research staff of the Harvard Botanical Museum and conducted investigations of medicinal and psychoactive plants
Combining a Harvard education and a lifetime of practicing natural and preventive medicine, Dr. Weil is the founder and director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, where he also holds the Lovell-Jones Endowed Chair in Integrative Rheumatology and is Clinical Professor of Medicine and Professor of Public Health. The Center is the leading effort in the world to develop a comprehensive curriculum in integrative medicine. Graduates serve as directors of integrative medicine programs throughout the United States, and through its fellowship, the Center is now training doctors and nurse practitioners around the world.
Dr. Weil is an internationally recognized expert for his views on leading a healthy lifestyle, his philosophy of healthy aging, and his critique of the future of medicine and health care. Dr. Weil writes a monthly column for Prevention magazine. A frequent lecturer and guest on talk shows, Dr. Weil is an internationally recognized expert on medicinal plants, alternative medicine, and the reform of medical education.
In this enlightening episode, Dr. Weil and I discuss the foods and habits we need to optimize our mental and physical health. I learned so much about the danger of inflammatory diseases, how we can treat and prevent them, and about the root cause of most medical problems. You don’t want to miss this episode!
Join me on Episode 1,108 to learn the habits and foods to increases brain function, eliminate inflammation, and live healthy longer with Dr. Andrew Weil!

My grandmother passed on this year at 99 just shy away from 100 years. She was in Malawi. At 99 she was doing everything by herself, living in her own house, attending to her own needs like bathing, feeding etc. Her eyesight was good, memory sharp and hearing not too bad. She never used hearing aids but one had to speak louder around her especially in the last five years but could hold a conversation. Since I have known her, she only had one proper meal ( lunch) and in the evening she would have a cup of tea. She worked ( farming and was an entrepreneur all her life building small houses for rent until her dying day, guess this helped her as well).

@@petecarroll3949 yes you’re right. However mind-body medicine is helpful for pain that linger long past the time it should’ve taken for it to heal. Sometimes nerves get caught in this chronic looping of pain because of neural pathways constantly firing. Mind-body medicine helps break those repetitive cycles. For acute pain from injuries or infections or injuries etc., you obviously need to treat those with actual medicine. I have an incurable condition that affects my nerves and I was told I would be essentially disabled by this forever because there’s no real treatment other than painkillers. I am now about 70% better by trying to control my own nervous system through mind-body medicine.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

I grew up in 60s and 70s and my parents didn't trot to the doctor constantly. They had an arsenal of medicines and home remedies they knew how to apply. Frankly if you did feel it prudent to check with a doctor, he would confirm which remedies to apply. FACT doctors would tell people to do home remedies because they work, but the doctors would check out things to be sure it wasn't more serious (like pneumonia or appendicitis). And then send parents home with instructions on what natural remedies to use (poultices, inhalants, salves, tinctures, solutions etc.) Doctors used and prescribed naturopathic remedies UNTIL pharmaceuticals started making drugs that treated symptoms instead of being curative. Med schools started letting pharmaceuticals companies rewrite the text books and control what is being taught or not taught... apparently this dates back a ways. This is why my parents avoided doctors and went only to older doctors. Today's doctors have been taught to consider those things "wives tales" and a muttleheaded, hysterical, anti-female persona has been attached to home remedies.

I agree with you I am in my late 60s and since I have not ate meat in 30 years and have followed good food practices most people think I am in my 40s. I am a walking testament to. " You are what you eat."

[@blondwiththewind2598]

@@jerseystotler3615 ... There really "is something" to the "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT" Theory. I am not a strict vegetarian... but not much of a meat eater either. I will eat some poultry now and then (hopefully "free range")...some fish about weekly...and a small portion of red meat maybe about monthly. If l have a "vice" it would be my love of cheese: BUT l do try to achieve moderation and balance in all things. So far my sixties feel a lot like my thirties...no wrinkles yet either. I am also a former tennis player and endurance culyclist: so l am still also skating also on those benefits: with continued more moderate activities. All in all: not a bad way to live!! ENJOY!!!

I am a dentist and I see so many patients who have inflammation in their gums and those are the patients who have medical problems, especially cardiovascular problems. They also get arthritis inflammation problems. So we should all get our teeth cleaned every Three months, not every Six Months.

It’s so good to hear a medical practitioner saying things I’ve always suspected. It’s a question of first getting to know your own body and mind really well, and that’s not that difficult, then you know when it’s absolutely necessary to get outside help.

I’m so happy to hear from Dr Weil. Very interesting interview. I’ve been a follower of dr Weil for many years. Not only I read and collected all his books, but also visited his clinic in Tucson. My very best doctor for many years was one of first doctors, who went trough Internship with Dr Weil. Thanks to dr Weil and my personal doctor I’m not a stranger to Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy. Dr Weil’s explanation of how Homeopathy works in one of his latest books is very simple and logical. Worth of gold.

[@nicolevonw8101]

I always loved Dr. Weil’s attitude and love of natural medicine. Love!!! I grew up reading his books bc my mom had them all. ❤️ He does talk about the “unconscious” mind though, and I think he means the learned behavior, that’s basically part of us now. The thinking, doing, and now just being- all the habits and thinking we do is how we are now, not necessarily WHO we are. I always think it’s a little more complicated in this too - the brain is very complex, filled with neurotransmitters, synapses connections, micronutrients needed to function properly etc. It’s not always just turn your mind off from it and we are healed. The brain is crazy and it’s amazing what they are finding in the world of neurology and brain studies! Example: you can’t just tell a severely adhd person to go shutoff and focus and start writing lists etc- and then expect Miraculous miracles. It doesn’t work this way....there are true learned behaviors now part of how we are...

[@rebeccawilliams1991]

So glad to see you here, Dr. Weil! I've followed you for well over a decade. ...Good to know more about your history. You are one of my "contemporary" heroes. Also, watching, listening to you in this (great) interview, I can tell that you are sincere and passionate about helping people.

Another 🔥🔥🔥 interview!!! My mother was always more "holistic" growing up. I didn't go to the doctor unless it was SERIOUS. I've learned through my experience how much my mental health effects my physical health. I refuse to rely on 100 of medications, only to have more issues... I've seen my extended family suffer in their ignorance & stubbornness.. I will not. I totally get all of this! 🙏
