A video follow-up to his best-selling book of the same name, 8 WEEKS TO OPTIMUM HEALTH is an excellent, practical primer to Dr. Andrew Weil's systematic approach to improving the mind and body. Weil, who is the director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, speaks from a lectern in front of an audience of intrigued listeners as he communicates his ideas effectively with a minimum of medical terms and a healthy amount of humor and personal anecdotes. His knowledge as a medical professional lends enormous credibility as he recommends diet and lifestyle changes, focusing on what we should and, most importantly, what we should not eat. Taking small steps every week, Weil shows how to build-up to a long-term healthy lifestyle with exercise, meditation, nutrition, and vitamin supplementation. This program complements Dr. Weil's SPONTANEOUS HEALING, which delves more deeply into his philosophies regarding holistic medicine and healing. [More]
