DO THIS DAILY To Reduce Inflammation & PREVENT DISEASE Today! | Andrew Weil 

I can only speak for myself (74) but I was able to get off of medication and eliminate the arthritic inflammation that kept me up at night through diet. For the last six or seven years I have slept very well and have not experienced the inflammation that tormented me before. In the morning I have lentils, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, yellow squash, colored peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes or grape tomatoes, diced ginger (seems to be the one of the important ingredients dampening my inflammation) and sometimes diced turmeric, nutritional yeast, ground flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds, filberts and Brazil nuts. I add avocado when I have them and also sardines. I have to be careful with the sardines because I acquired gout as a side effect of hydrochlorothiazide which I no longer have to take because my blood pressure has also dropped to normal. I alternate with oats, yoghurt, blueberries, almond milk and the same diced ginger and fresh ground seeds and nuts as before. This diet seems to improve my gut biome as well giving me a happy feeling to start the day. If I don't have time to chop vegetables on weekday mornings, I will prepare them on a Sunday and place them in quart freezer bags in the refrigerator and grab one each morning, tossing the veggies lightly in a little olive oil until slightly softer. I stay away from sugar and salt as much as possible. I don't eat eggs or bacon. I don't drink alcohol, fruit juice or any sweetened or carbonated drinks. I drink 24 oz. of water first thing every morning when I get up, before breakfast. This is a common practice in Japan, where their lifespan is longer than ours. My kidneys went from stage 3 to stage 2 and are now normal. I always have breakfast before having any coffee. I saw a study that said that drinking coffee before eating can interfere with the insulin process. The other important element is exercise. The combination of the two is magical. Cardio (walking), core and weight resistance. Another recommendation I can make is to check for sleep apnea which robs you of your sleep unawares. You stop breathing while you are sleeping, CO2 builds up in your bloodstream, your brain wakes you up just enough to start breathing again but not to consciousness, so you never get into a deep sleep. You never wake up enough to realize what is happening. You sleep eight hours and wake up feeling that you haven't slept at all. You will need a sleep study or test to detect it. Sleep apnea causes high blood pressure and a number of other health problems. I have used a CPAP for 20 years and it changed my life. Hope some of this helps somebody.

I worked as the head nurse for a gastroenterologist. I asked him why he didn't inform his patients about lifestyle changes (most of our patients had disorders that were related to lifestyle). He said, "they wouldn't listen". I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When I told him about changes he could make to improve his health, he replied, "if that were true, my doctor would have told me". Sigh

There is healing releases in the body when we forgive. Rage, anger releases high blood pressure and many suddenly died at the tip of their anger. #1 killer is called stress! Unforgiveness develops all sorts of illnesses, cancer, heart ailments and so on. There is joy and peace within when a person forgives. 💕 Thank you that you mentioned here about practicing forgiveness. Hallelujah! To you Doc R. Chatterjee.

I remember Dr. Weil spoke of inflammation as the common denominator in many diseases. He truly was ahead of his time; thankfully, I never forgot him.

I'm 63. My last doctor visit, other than ER trips for stitches and x-rays, was my checkup for the Cub Scouts. I've always stayed active and had a job, high steel rigging, that is physically demanding. I rarely drink alcohol, have never smoked cigarettes or done any narcotics. I feel as good today as I did in my 30s. I'm 6'2" 185lbs and I eat as much of anything I want. I quit drinking all soft drinks in 2016. Doctors don't cure anything. They merely mitigate your symptoms while destroying your body and your wallet with their poisons.

So far, I've lost 120lbs eating a Ketogenic diet. I don't eat a ton of meat. I eat a huge salads every night using only home made dressings with a whole avocado, about a cup of fresh broccoli, organic greens and a few ounces of meat protein, usually about 3 ounces, but never more than 6 oz. All of my blood markers are excellent. My A1C is 5.0 down from 6.5. My triglycerides dropped from over 500 to 85, my electrolytes are all high/normal. It works for me. I don't tell anybody else to do it. If they ask me how I lost 120lbs, I tell them what I did, but to do the research yourself.

Dr. Weil, you were a very wise man back in the 80s when you came to teach us at the Southwestern School for Behavioral Health Studies and when I advocated for you to come to St. Luke's Behavioral Health Center for a seminar to "debate" a traditional psychiatrist on alternative ways to treat common mental health conditions which you did to huge interest and fantastic reviews by attendees, and you clearly have continued growing in the depth and breadth of that wisdom. Thank you for continuing to share that wisdom with us.

“Mediterranean diet no way restricts the pleasure of food!” One of the only health gurus to acknowledge that this is part of health! So great!

Dr Weil looks exactly the same as he did when I started watching him 25-30 years ago...he obviously practices what he preaches!!!♥️

The one and most important thing I have learned about diet is that we don't know what we think we know. I am 80 and have tried every diet that exists and have done well on all of them. I have never been fat and have exercised almost daily since I was old enough to move. I have eaten six meals a day and one meal a day. No matter how many times a day or what you eat, the most profound thing I have learned is to fast at least 16 to 20 hours a day. IMO, your body will do the rest.

Growing up, we ate three meals a day and snacked in between. I grew into an eating disorder and have carried several more pounds than necessary - not hugely overweight but still overweight. And always dieting, to no avail. Dieting felt depriving , so I always went back to overeating. In recent months I began keto with intermittent fasting and immediately lost almost twenty pounds. I changed up my choices in food: only fish and dairy for animal fat, lots of veggies, nuts, nut butters, fermented foods and basically just one regular meal per day. If I find myself craving carbs I drink water to make sure I’m not hydrated, and if what I think of as “mouth” hunger persistsI have a few small crackers with peanut butter on them with coffee or tea and my cravings go away. This is rare, however. Keto with fasting (for me, “postponing” meals) takes away hunger almost completely. But you must not starve or deprive yourself. Meditation daily started it all, I must admit. When I stopped having the anxiety I’d had since childhood, everything, including a sense of financial security and abundance came in. So in several ways, I am always “full” now.

I went to a dental hygienist appointment recently. As she worked on my mouth, she asked, "Are you a vegetarian?". I gave her a thumbs up. A short while later, she asked, "Are you vegan?" I answered that I'd explain later. So when the dental work was completed, she wanted to know what I ate because of the lack of inflammation in my gums. I had previously thought of inflammation as being at a cellular level but she was telling me that the lack of gum inflammation was visually obvious to her. So I told her about reading Dr. Greger's book, 'How Not to Die' in 2015 and changing to a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet. I love eating fibre and nutrient-rich foods and don't miss the animal and processed foods I've ditched. I like using water-based (no oil) cooking methods (steaming, broiling, baking). Eight years later, I'm 67 years old and slim, fit and strong. My hip osteoarthritis pain has (almost) gone. My bloating has gone (I'm gluten-free also). I am never constipated. There are no downsides. It's true - inflammation is a key indicator of your state of health. Ask your hygienist about the state of your gums and if they're inflamed, learn about healthy eating from Nutritionfacts and Forks Over Knives.

I have always had my most absolute admiration for Dr. Well for his intelligence, wisdom, studies and as a Doctor. Thank you! for inviting Him to your program. Tank you again!

Thanks Dr Andrew and Dr Rangan for the holistic view of medicine - what you said is so true

Dr. Andrew Weil is an amazing brilliant doctor on his teachings in living healthier lives.

Two of my favorite doctors in the whole world !!! Thank you both.

Good afternoon happened to come upon your video and I totally enjoyed it and I agree. Many years back when I was in my early 20 I made two discoveries and mind you I’m not a doctor or any way near in any medical field. But I have always had and interest with Chinese medicine and the more Ayurvedic methods. At the age of 17 still in high school I started to change my way of life style and a more clean eating. Because I believe we are what we eat and health and well being comes from what you feed your body and mind. So that being said in my early twenties I started to develop a severe case of acne and not only did it look painful it was very painful even to sleep.very sensitive. I started going to the dermatologist and they would prescribe the usual antibiotics with many restrictions and retin A bit for whatever reason I felt that it had more to that so I started studying my body and how it reacted to certain things that I ate. And I discovered that dairy products and white carbs and sweets and processed foods had a negative affect on me. I changed my eating habits stopped in taking those foods and my skin cleared. I bought it to the doctors attention and I was told that it had nothing to do with that that it was only a myth that I could stick my head in oil and eat whatever foods and it would not affect me. But I did not find that to be true and stuck to my discovery and to this day I’m 52 I have not gotten the breakouts or skin infections that I had. Another discovery I made was the green tea, I started drinking green tea when I was introduced to it by some Korean friends. And I felt it to be magical didn’t get colds or flus like I did before. Few years after my discovery my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and was just being treated by hormones and had no Improvement his psa was always high and his cancer was not getting better. In my house it was a custom drinking espresso at least twice or three times a day. Well I figured out of my own to have my father change his eating habits to stop eating beef and less coffee and to incorporate green tea, and this was not any special green tea just a simple green tea bag from the market. My dad followed my guide and when we returned to the doctor a very well known cancer hospital here in New York City to have a blood work to check his PSA levels the doctors where amazed that my fathers PSA levels had dropped drastically and they questioned what my father was doing or taking different. So I told them and they all looked at each other and said oh green tea, they excused themselves stepped out of the room to talk amongst themselves and after a while came back and informed us what was going on, that my fathers PSA levels had gone down to a normal level which was very good BUT they said he will have to stop because we are going to start treatment and green tea will interfere with it. My father died few months after starting the cancer treatment. I wish I hadn’t listened and would had in courage’s my dad to continue Drinking green tea. My dad was only 62. Since then doctors have discovered that certain foods do affect the body and that green tea is actually very helpful for cancer patients and to help prevent cancer. Sadly enough I feel, and not speaking for all but some doctors don’t really want to get the root of the problem but rather just cover the situation. Things are commercialized unfortunately and I feel as someone who healed herself and discovered two things that were not know by doctors until recent that we have to listen to our bodies and learn our bodies because many times we might just have the answer to our health conditions. Sorry for the long chat. Thank you, God bless!

Wonderful message about gut health as it relates to our immune system and food intake. Two great doctors talking with each other was excellent! Looking forward to another session !

I first found Dr Weil in prevention magazine back in the 90s. He made sense and isn't extreme in his findings or recommendations. Thanks for the video.

I appreciate the connection between inflammation, cytokines, and depression over serotonin and current pharmaceutical remedies with horrible side effects. That sounds revolutionary.

I like this guy. I worked with a physician who was trained by him. Thankfully, I grabbed ahold of the anti inflammatory diet and how sugar ages you in my 20’s. Now just turning 40, I’ve been called an anomaly by many. I attribute it to learning the principles of anti-aging in my 20’s and continue to live a fairly healthy life. I love this channel and have adopted more into my lifestyle every day. Thanks for the videos! I’m great full for all of the information shared. I use a lot of it.

Amazing! I saw Andrew on Rich Roll, and was thinking Rangan should get him his show...and here he is!! What a treat

You are both very wise. Breath control in Yoga is a fantastic reliever of stress. Also we are always told to take a deep breath before taking exams, for example, to relax etc.

Dr. Weil, I bought Spontaneous Healing in 1996 and I have to thank you for how much it impacted my life. You single-handedly changed the way I thought about food, responsible consideration of both eastern and western medicine and my body's innate ability to heal. I was a 25 year-old artist at the time without health insurance. Staying healthy was of the utmost importance because I simply couldn't afford to go to the doctor. At 52, I look and feel like a 30 year old. I have maintained good health and been able to fight fleeting illness with what some have described as miraculous speed. I am a touring performer and never even caught Covid. It's not a miracle. It's a blessing that you shared with me and so many others who have benefitted from your wisdom and generosity. I still hear your voice saying that the human body is built for walking. That walking is as good, if not the best thing one can do for exercise. You are the OG! I am forever grateful. And you look exactly the same as you did 20 years ago btw....that alone says something! Thank you. Bless you. Sincerely, Cassidy

thank you for the great talk , and your patience sharing with us all your wisdom !

Dr. Rangan: you are SO honest + intelligent that it is SO refreshing to this day + age of medical-or- personal health care for one self. You ask the most important and incredible questions of dialogue that is SO VERY helpful and appreciated. THANK YOU so much for what you are doing with these videos! It is profound! God's blessings are for you 🙏!!! I am so thankful for coming across your open communication. I can't believe that I have not heard you before. From Milwaukee, WI. 2-28-22. 💯✌️🥰🙏

Andrew Weil has been saying these things for thirty years, and has been rubbished by the medical establishment. Now everyone's talking about the microbiome, and there are books by respected physicians telling us to eat 30 different fruit, veg, seeds per day, emphasise stress control with breathwork, reduce inflammation. This guy is over 80 years old and is his own advert! It's taken thirty years for the medcal establishment to begin to catch up with him.

Working in Mental Health for over 20 years.. the Mental Aspect is almost completely ignored when there is an internal issue.. Thoughts and energies come from within and your thoughts can harm your body.. thoughts make you do things.. In Mental Health people hate on them selves and then self harm and then the pain becomes the release they desire, and also PAIN is the root cause of the way they feel in the first place.. its just cutting yourself is a PHYSICAL PAIN and the cause was MENTAL PAIN.. Brilliant chat and spot on with trying to chance the Status Quo.. The drug companies have been running the show and PROFITS are the main desire and goal of ALL COMPANIES!!

Amazing interview with Dr. Weil, who I respect a great deal. Music to my ears! Thank you for including Dr. Weil among all the informative guests you provide for us, Dr. Chatterjee.xo

I’m so grateful for your channel Dr. Chatterjee. I’m inspired to make a change in my own health care. Thank you!

Thanks DR Rangan and DR Weil for your idea's of a healthy way of our lives,worth living for.

What a great GUEST ANDREW WEIL and I hope everyone learned from this interview I wish he could have more air time thank you I agree with every word he said an inspiration to many PEOPLE I BET!!!

The chronic pain community is doing tremendous work on the mind/body front...many practitioners are moving the dial aligned with Dr Weil.

I originally came across Dr Weil’s Eight Weeks to Optimum Health in 1997 and am so grateful. I’m still on a vacation from the news 😉

A very moving discussion. One of the things that struck me most was that we don’t have a good relationship with ourselves. We’re always looking outside ourselves for the answer. I guess the answers are inside and we just have to stop, think, look, feel, improve our relationship with ourselves. Thank you.

My personal version of low carb grew out of discovering that grains cause severe inflammation in my body. Since giving up pasta, rice and such things as tortilla/nan bread/pitta, my joints/digestion have improved greatly. I've begun eating a little sourdough bread, cold potato for resistant starch, ( i've really enjoyed potato salad all my life). I eat green leafy vegetables, peppers, mushrooms etc. I learned all this from a few Keto bloggers, so I consider Keto has helped my health greatly.

So honest, so real, so empathic and illuminating discussion that has both informed my thinking and confirmed thoughts I had about my own health concerns. If there were more Drs. like you there will be much less illness in the world. With heartfelt gratitude to both of you.

Great interview! Thank you so much 😊

Thank you both. Dr Weil I am a long time fan. These eating plans help me tremendously.

Great discussion. Only would add that during the discussion regarding motivation I think the financial component was missing. As long as US docs get paid more for doing more we will enjoy chronic disease.

Have always loved Dr Weil. Thank you for having such a wise guest. Learned so much!!

The enjoyment of food is important but not all people have the luxury of being able to eat with friends or family daily so i love how she said even if eating by yourself you can stop and enjoy your food

Hi 🙂 ! Great information👍👍👍👍. TYFS!!! I do deep breaths every nite when I put my head on my pillow & say my Prayers. The next thing I know, I had fallen asleep (when I awaken, of course; is when I realize this ☺️).

I learned about Dr Weil when I worked at Marshall Fields( Macy’s) at his products were available at the Origins counter. I was already on the road to healthy eating. When my Mom got sick with cancer and had chemo his products where the only ones she was not reacting to. RIP. After my Moms death I decided to change my diet and hopefully influence my children. It took me 7 years to become vegan. I’ll eat goat or sheep cheese and yogurt. I also cut gluten, sugar( well I have sometimes a good piece of home baked apple pie). When I went to Greece after my Dad died ( kidney failure, heart failure, overweight, diabetes) I was eating everything but there is no use of butter unless you ask. Olive oil. I was fine no inflammation. I-have lupus.A lot of times I would spend 2-3 months in bed , when my daughter got sick with Covid in December of 2019 and then I got sick in January it took me till March to recover!!! I decided I am not going to live like that! Cleaned my kitchen . No soda , no chips, no white rice, flour, noodles you name it. Yoga, breathing ( Kundalini) long walks with dogs, grounding. Results amazing! I had 2 pituitary tumors 5mm and 4 mm and they were causing so many issues. Blurry vision, dizziness, gait problems, I also believe high heart rate because of anxiety. Dizziness was vertigo everyday with nausea. And 2 kids that had to drive to school and pick up in sub zero temps. Radiation meds didn’t help, my hair were falling out, skin was so dry, I developed neuropathy and lost goes on. And being vegan changed my life and “gluten” free( there is a good gluten . One tumor shrieked to 1 mm. My dizziness significantly diminished and my balance is restored. I got of Plaquanil before Covid started because it was lowering my immune system and causing cancer cell growth. My doctor was mad!!! It saved my life. I had time to strengthen my body a little before I got hit with Covid, but I am alive. Essential oil, chicken soup with turmeric saved my daughter she had fever of 105F and no one new what’s wrong with her. She was coughing so bad I thought she is going to suffocate. She also changed her diet after Covid. Seeing my both parents suffering so much my biggest fear was not to die their death. I always thought my parents will get old and die in their dream…. Reality is we are what we eat. I’m so glad I came across Dr. Weil. I advocate healthy eating in my family and friends but all I hear are laughs. I believe that you can make change within 3 weeks of drastic diet. I’m slim I was exercising and eating peanut butter and margarine. Not to mention during childhood lard! I had atherosclerosis in a main vein 80-90%. I went water and greens, no oils, nuts, avocados, and balsamic oil. I only could do it for 3 weeks and I went to 50-60%. Yes!!!! Doctor said it was a glitch. Sure! I know what I did and I believe it! I am working on my stress and childhood trauma because that contributes to cancer in my body. Thank you for all great tips. Thank you 🙏🏽. 💕Peace Kindness Compassion

I agree with your guest. Even as a Vegan 🌱 I also recommend a Mediterranean way of eating because it does not threaten their meat and cheese and it helps them to start to understand food

This is a fantastic interview, it’s so profound and precious talk from both of these two doctors. I wish all the western conventional doctors can incorporate and learn more from the Eastern medicine in their practice. It seems to me, in conventional medicine the patients just a number of game to the doctors, most of physicians are rush in and rush out without really taking the interest and time to fully connect with their patients. Most of doctors are need to listen to this pop cast and learn more from these two doctors. My most sincere thanks 🙏 from these two doctors for sharing such wonderful conversations !

Another person CLEARLY worthy of any support ..... Thankful..... super thankful!! Dunno what it taste like but ordered some matcha....

So much important information here! Truly hope you have Dr Weil on the schedule again soon. He is truly amazing.

What a gem packed conversation! Thank you!

I'm a healer, I focus a lot on subpersonality work, and even though that seems purely psychological, it is definitely physical as well. All chronic illnesses can be healed with holistic approaches and diet and medicine can support very well. As a start, I feel like we need to have systematic kinesiology (a different modality to what I practice as a practitioner) as a basis. Going to a kinesiologist instead of a GP, or have GPs train in kinesiology.

The ketogenic diet very low carb has been a way of eating that has improved my health greatly, two years in it is my lifestyle. I am diligent on keeping up with my bloodwork levels/chemistry and all is spot on great, this has been my personal experience.

I was thirty-three when I found Dr. Wilder. I began to read books about Mediterranean cuisine. I also was working out five days a week with Denise Austin and I felt and looked great! Stress became a major factor in my life around 35-40 years old. I began to eat a lot of foods packed with sugar, which is my weakness! As a result my health took a downward turn. In 2015 I was finally diagnosed with Lupus & RA. By this time stress levels are dangerously high. I really wanted to respond about stress and how much havoc it wreaks on our overall health! My body was constantly in a fight mode until my heart, mental and emotional health began to decline. I remembered Dr. Wilder teaching on Mediterranean food. I am now eating more fiber, mostly vegetables and wild caught Salmon. Along with red snapper and cod fish. I also have two excellent doctors. My primary doctor suggests that I eat more fiber, fruits and lean meats without frying. If I must with olive oil. I feel awesome! My pain level is zero! I am beginning to exercise more regularly. Though my stress is still too high, I am working on it. I swear by Dr. Wilder. Love this information video!

Super balanced and inspiring view on health - I loved to listen 🙏

Love Dr. Wells, I’ve been following him for many years Lupus has me I don’t have Lupus for 35 years! Healthy body peaceful mind. Thank you !! Great episode

I love Dr Weil and have followed him for longer than I can remember.

I went on a diet for the first time as a teenager counting calories. It was hard but worked - for a while. But as time went on I found I had to keep repeating the diet. They all ended the same way. You have to think about food all day, planning meals counting every last thing. But all diets ended the same way - feeling tired and hungry. With each year I'd have to accept a new higher normal weight. I obeyed the advice low fat, more fibre, eat fruit and veg. By the time I was 62 I ended up prediabetic; with a heart condition, fatty liver, and 18st 5lbs, on Statins, PPI, CCI, aspirin. THEN I discovered Jason Fung and his guide to fasting, and also adopted HFLC diet. After 10 months my weight was down to 14st 12lbs. My A1C down, HDL up, Triglycerides down. Stopped the statins, PPI and CCI pills, no more heart pain, breathing better, no more waking in the middle of the night with wind, no more fatty liver. A calorie is not a calorie. It matters what kinds of food you eat far more than the energy value. I enjoy fat foods. WHo would have thought that the old book my Mum had in 1960 "Eat fat, Grow Slim" was better advice that any of the pseudo-scientific epidemiology upon which the "guidlines" are based. If you want to read more on this; Robert Lustig (sugar), Gary Taubes (keto), Nina Teicholz(unpacking the guidlines), Richard Johnson (on the role of fructose).

Copper, and gold monatomiics work fantastic for getting rid of inflammation

I have a hiatal hernia which was giving me the usual symptoms, the GP put me on pantoprazole which helped initially, but when I asked the Dr if stopping the stomach from producing acid defeats the purpose of having a stomach, he just shrugged and pretty much told me to choose which I preferred to live with. There was no discussion about diet or stress, just the standard go-to prescription from the Dr.

Time stamps would be very helpful.

It is wonderful to be listening to our experts.

This video should be used for training in the NHS ! Tell this to the GPs

I love that you've connected with all of the American docs I learn from, Rangan, thank you for continuing to do so and for your gigantic heart!

Fabulous interview…thank you so much. I’m 72,and have *always* felt with few to no exceptions, that prescription drugs could (and should) be avoided. As a whistleblower under an inordinate amount of stress I’m a BIG fan of Dr. Weil’s breathing technique and of attention, in general. The very best to both of you…❤️🌷🙏🙌🦋

Hello to both of you especially Dr Weil which I follow him about 20 years. He is great and knowledgeable, thanks❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mr. Weil has a great prospective on medical care in the USA.

On Keto I was able to lose 25 pounds, lower high triglycerides, lower LDL, reverse fatty liver and being pre diabetic in 3 months. My doctor who didn't want me to do keto said to continue doing whatever I was doing.

You hit very succinctly on the single biggest problem that so many of us have in dealing with doctors, which is the closed mind. I've been saying for a long time - and with full acknowledgement that there are many awesome doctors out there - that nevertheless we are broadly either picking the wrong people to train as doctors, or training them wrongly. For such an intelligent group of people, there seems to be an astonishing level of difficulty with basic critical thinking, problem solving and logic skills, and it is patients who pay the price. As an example, a paraplegic friend with severe kyphoscoliosis was prescribed a muscle relaxant for issues with their legs. Over time, they realised that the deterioration in their breathing and fitness must be related, because they discovered they knew if they'd forgotten to take the pill because they *didn't* have difficulty breathing. Did any GP they saw take this seriously? Nope. They explained the situation to me, I gave it some thought, asked about where exactly they still had feeling, what muscles were involved in them sitting up, did those muscles get zapped by the muscle relaxant. Yes they did, with the result my friend crunches over more. Being shortened in the torso in the first place, this crunches everything up so that the diaphragm can't move effectively. Eventually, at the GP for something else, this time a locum, they mentioned it, and the locum gave it a moment's thought, checked their posture, asked a couple of questions and said I'm not surprised, they're inappropriate for you because they're relaxing the muscles you need to hold you up, and I bet it's harder to transfer etc as well (which it was) and found something else to prescribe. This was GP number 4 or 5 at this point, the others just dismissed it out of hand and ascribed it to anxiety or other psychosomatic causes. It wasn't even a difficult problem to solve for anyone who actually gave it a moment's thought. The whole thing is frustrating at best. It's not just doctors either. The arguments I had recently with nurse practitioners after a finger injury, trying to get them to recognise that I'd severed a tendon (very deep laceration, after which the finger no longer flexed at that joint, so again not a complex thing) were astonishing and actually quite scary.

This was just what I needed. Thank you!

I wish there were more doctors in the nhs like dr chatterjee. We. need more holistic physicians.

A true scholar and gentleman 🙌

I like how chatterjee adds to conversation unlike other u tube hosts. Great chat !!❤❤❤

Healthy Keto has help heal my family and I. I also I am shocked at how many farms are sprayed with tons of chemicals that make people sick. We should have more organic farms 😊

A keto diet saved my sister’s life. We eat lots of leafy greens, cruciferous veg, eggs, fish, red meat, liver and poultry. We eat healthy fats and our fibre comes from the veg. My sisters gp monitors her health and she’s doing well. I would say this is a healthy way of eating. Everything improved in her body and she was able to get off insulin. I have benefitted too as I’m peri menopausal and my weight is now stable. I’ve never felt better! Keto should not get a bad rap. I don’t need or want the wholegrain bread. People’s bodies react differently to different ways of eating.

Discovered Dr Weil years ago. He is a treasure to the medical field. His books are great. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.

Wow, excellent podcast, comprehensive, thank you very much.

Breathwork and removing processed food fantastic Ive really loved this podcast thankyou to both amazing human beings

Dr. Chatterjee is one of my favorite hosts (along with Rich Roll). He has the perfect interaction skills for this kind of interview. He doesn't dominate his guest or attempt to interject his own bias. He lets his guest spotlight his expertise and prompts the discussion in the background. I have huge respect for Dr. Weil and was reading his books before social media became a "thing". Thanks for this enjoyable and interesting interview!

FASTING IS THE BEST! Everything else takes a back seat to this.

Great conversation! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much!

Dr Weil was the first in my world to validate Naturopathic medicine along with Allopathic medicine. The words “Integrative Medicine” gave me language to explain to my chemo doctor why I had eliminated sugar, why I was taking supplements based on biofeedback.

How many patients helped today? I read a book many years ago that said doctors are just educated guessers, that it was up to me to build on what Dr said and do what I could to help myself. That told me it's sorta up to me if I really want get better! This is an excellent interview.

What great conversation among Docs!

I have followed Dr. Weill’s advice since the 80’s and taught it to my clients when I was a psychologist and wellness coach. But my doctors often are not in line with these concepts. They go so quickly to prescribe meds when I want to work on lifestyle changes. Integrative medicine is not well understood by most if my doctors. Sometimes I have to challenge, question, and teach them. I find it very stressful. I wish Dr. Weill was my doctor. He is a pioneer in his field and I have always known that. Very grateful for his work and publications.

Wow, I'm speechless, he hit a home run. I love this guy.

The guest’s answer to the host’s thoughtful question about how he would respond to someone experiencing wonderful improvements on a keto diet almost seemed like gaslighting! He said he would tell that individual they were not in fact benefitting from the diet but only think they were, in effect a placebo diet! As someone who struggles with issues only solved by ketosis, I find that insulting.

By the way, I love and appreciate this channel sooo much!

I remember Dr. Weil from when I was a kid, he was considered sort of ""new wave" out in rural Montana where they had barely heard of yoga! I have always thought everything he says and does in healthcare has made sense,though and I have to say, I am so very inspired and impressed after listening to this!❤❤❤❤ Thank you both very much!

Any health professionals please notice the conversation at 22:00 mins, in which they discuss the locus of control being moved from external and uncontrollable sources to internal and within one's own power. This is so important for so many patients who ask for help only to be funnelled into a dogmatic and 'prescribed' treatment regime.

I had an endocrinologist put me on the Mediterranean diet/ Lifestyle back in 2018 because of a goiter my thyroid was not hyperactive or hypoactive but he suggested the Mediterranean diet to shrink the goiter I didn't stick to it and now I am hearing Dr William Li as well as Dr Andrew Weil suggest the Mediterranean diet. Im definitely switching today. As I have reduced my sugar cravings with berberine.

I loved this conversation by two very intelligent Dr.s. Thank you.

Awesome awesome interview i feel so excited hearing such honesty wonderful wonderful wonderful 👍❤️👍❤️

I really appreciate everything you guys are doing.. I wish more doctors were up because this isn’t that new 😩

I sincerely wish Dr Chatterjee would interview an Āyurvedic doctor like Dr Vasant Lad. It is especially poignant when I see Indians turn away from the wisdom and power of their own traditions and have to learn the hard way how important those concerned are to good health. 🙏🏻

Yes..learning and practicing

My favorite for over a decade!!! Dr. WEIL is the best in the world!!! AMEN...MAHALO!😇❤🌈

Mediterranean/Asian diet way of eating! That's what I've been doing! He swiped my idea/method‼️🤣 A great one for flavors 🤗

Hooray! Adam Weil is doing interviews! He's been around as a healer and medial doctor long before the internet got big. So we in the "olden days" never had a chance to see him in a live talk! We are truly blessed! Peace out! - the acoustic rabbit hole - ru-vid.com/show-UCQzAv4E_kMLQLpK9vzQYg8Q

Firstly, thank you so much for your time and fantastic advice…and interviewing like-minded specialists. Such valuable information that I have really taken on board. You speak of placebo…for what it’s worth, I used to work with an Avian and Reptile Vet and his wife, who treated Animals holistically. Correct diet and vitamin supplements were the first approach…and 90% of his patients were dietary deficient. Fatty liver in most pet species is a huge concern, even in Snakes…because owners have been conned by pet shops and Rodent breeders to 'powerfeed' their Snakes…only to sell more Rats and Mice. Anyway, seeing the tremendous results of good diet, behavioural enrichment and vitamin supplements in Animals proves it’s not placebo.

Sadly medicine has become more about profitit and less about the long-term wellness. Can't make profit from the healthy. Dr. Weil has been sharing his wonderful knowledge for years. He is what I consider to be true healer.
