I have the Audio CD's of this program, and I am on my second listen, learning even more than I learned the first time. This packed FULL of info. What I like most about it is Dr. Weil's attitude in presenting all the info. He is not passionately critical of the medical profession to the point where you feel turned off to his advice (like a certain Kevin Trudeau that I've heard). He gives quite a detailed explanation of all aspects of healthy living from the foods you eat, shopping at healthfood stores, options for relaxation techniques, various different types of healing alternatives and which ones seem to work for different ailments.

He treats the listener like an intelligent person who knows their body better than anyone else, and gives you several sound options for healing yourself and/or just living healthy. I am thoroughly enjoying this.

"Your mind can elicit a healing response when even conventional medicine has proven ineffective." ~Dr. Andrew Weil

For months I've been listening to this CD set, trying to integrate the principles of Dr. Weil's teachings into my life. By increasing whole grains (I now eat a mixture of pumpkin seeds, roasted corn and roasted soy), discovering new natural remedies and exploring the ideas of how the body is always seeking to regain balance, I have learned a great deal about integrative medicine. Instead of just trying to solve problems as they occur, Dr. Weil seeks to encourage a preventative lifestyle that includes healthy choices and healing herbs.

Can we interact with allergens without having allergies?
Does our body truly want to be healthy and what are the obstacles to healing?
Should you avoid fructose?
Is eating pasta better than bread?
What is disconnection syndrome?
How can you become more self-reliant in regards to your health?
Which is more healthy - olive oil or chocolate?
How does your skin react to emotions?

By reigning in the forces of nature, there is a huge potential for healing. Cooking can become a healing meditation, buying yourself flowers promotes healing and remembering to spend time in nature can encourage positive emotional states.

Dr. Weil is very intuitive and is not held down by any single system of belief. He fully explores all possibilities and takes remedies from a wide variety of alternative medicine traditions.

I've learned so much by listening to these CDs. Simple ideas like adding blueberries to pancakes or eating more fiber with meals can increase your health.

In a world of confusing health advice, fad diets and doctors who seem opposed to using natural remedies, Dr. Weil bring clarity to the topic of integrative medicine. I am only left contemplating why most doctors would so freely give me medications with horrendous lists of side effects and fear beautiful plants, herbal remedies and comforting solutions to life's ever changing complexity.

Dr. Weil makes complete sense! I hope doctors everywhere will start reading his work and listening to his CD sets. Also look for Dr. Andrew Weil's Mindbody Tool Kit with breath work, meditation, guided imagery and sound therapy.

There is so much to learn about health and Dr. Andrew Weil is truly an enlightened teacher who can give you many of the keys to your own healing process. Fascinating stories about spontaneous healing are also included in this CD set.

~The Rebecca Review

Originally I thought this guy looked crazy and was too Spiritual and weird for me to learn from.

Then I listened and found out he is a medical genius and probably will revolutionize medicine in the next 100 years. His methods for being healthy are the best out there right now. This program covers everything and should be given to everyone who is alive.

I am 24 and super healthy and people ask me why I do all this health stuff? I am not sick but it interests me.

It blows my mind that people don't care to learn about their health. IF YOU HAVE A BODY AND LIVE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH THE BEST METHODS OF TAKING CARE OF IT.

I've read a lot of health books and learned a lot of stuff on nutrition and the body, this is by far the best MEDICAL approach to health that covers all areas.

This guy is a genius.

A fantastic course by a terrific nutritionist. Weil's guide to optimum health is simple, thorough, and comprehensive.
It elucidates the process of natural health and makes a great guide for every person that's interested in good nutrition, and wellness. Weil is objective, honest, and inspiring !!!

This audio CD is very good, it tells about good and bad macro and micronutrients. How to change your diet plan and eat healthy, I like this audio CD, is very informative and useful for those who wants to lead a healthy life.

These discs basically sum up what is in Dr. Weil's books. The advice and knowledge is fantastic for anyone looking to start eating and living healthier. I would suggest it, and have, to everyone.

This guy is going to help bring about a much needed revolution in medicine. He is probably the single most knowledgable person I've ever listened to and his heart is in the right place. The CD's are well worth twice what they cost.
