Integrative Health for Optimal Aging | Andrew Weil, MD
Andrew Weil, M.D., is a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine and is internationally recognized for his expertise in healthy aging and his philosophy on aging gracefully.
In this enlightening lecture, Dr. Weil discusses the important question, “Is it inevitable to get sick as we get old?” He shares observations of the healthy aging successes of centenarians, how our “genetic destiny” may be modifiable, and how inflammation contributes to disease. He offers practical ways to separate the aging process from age-related disease, to stay as healthy as we can as we age, including incorporating a nutritious diet, maintaining physical activity and the importance of social connection.
Combining a Harvard education and a lifetime of practicing natural and preventive medicine, he is the founder and director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

His clarity, strength of voice, seems the same when I first started following him 30 years ago. I always come back to hear his grounded voice, especially when it comes to ageing gracefully.
1 month shy of 80 years old right here, yet his mental agility and physical vitality is superb. So inspirational for living a healthy lifestyle!

Marvelous talk, want to hear the rest of it. Audio stopped at 40 (minutes?).
Hey Doc what is your thoughts on monatomic gold? Seriously thinking about trying it.
Wait at 42:25 he says any "non nutritive sweeteners have disastrous effects" - what about stevia? that's natural? aren't there other things like monk fruit that are low/no calorie AND add a little sweetness?

I am a licensed nutritionist and never suggests non nutritive sweeteners or stevia for many reasons but mainly becasue they are all between 300 and 7000 times sweeter than sugar which resets the need for sweetness in foods. Even though they are considered GRAS (generally reconized as safe) they are only safe when used in very small amounts.
how about estrogen to help bladder control
You have to soak beans and cook them in a pressure cooker…🎉
Integrative ONCOLOGY? Better than slash and burn
also Botox for overactive bladder

Botox?
The "Fast Facts" are manipulative. The "Percentage" increase is related to people not reproducing that much anymore and that increases the "Percentage" of those who are already living...
Dr.Weil I laughed so hard after you said story about your mom 😅😄😃
