Andrew Weil
I fully support a national health care program for the U.S.
Andrew Weil
I don't think you can live without stress I think the human life is stressful, and it probably always has been, although the forms of stress may change from culture to culture, and from time to time.
Andrew Weil
Meditation while walking has a long, noble history in ancient spiritual disciplines.
Andrew Weil
For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible.

Human beings have survived for millennia because most of us make good decisions about our health most of the time.
Andrew Weil
I do not claim to have attained optimum emotional well-being. Actually, I think that may be a lifetime goal. For me it’s an ongoing process that requires awareness, knowledge, and practice. I do know what good emotional health feels like, and that motivates me to keep at the practice.
Andrew Weil
Health is wholeness--wholeness in its most profound sense, with nothing left out and everything in just the right order to manifest the mystery of balance. Far from being simply the absence of disease, health is a dynamic and harmonious equilibrium of all the elements and forces making up and surrounding a human being.
Andrew Weil
In my experience, the more people have, the less likely they are to be contented. Indeed, there is abundant evidence that depression is a 'disease of affluence', a disorder of modern life in the industrialized world.
Andrew Weil
I believe that it may be normal, healthy, and even productive to experience mild to moderate depression from time to time as part of the variable emotional spectrum, either as an appropriate response to situations or as a way of turning inward and mentally chewing over problems to find solutions.
Andrew Weil
You've got to experiment to figure out what works.
Andrew Weil
I know of no culture in the world at present or any time in the past that has not been heavily involved with one or more psychoactive substances.
Andrew Weil
Limit or eliminate late-night computer and television viewing. A computer or TV screen may seem much dimmer than a light bulb, but these screens often fill your field of vision, mimicking the effects of a room filled with light.
Andrew Weil
I don't get money from the vitamins that I make. My after tax profits go to a foundation that supports integrative medicine.
Andrew Weil
True, nuts are high in fat, but most of them contain monounsaturated fat that is good for the heart. In fact, eaten in moderation, nuts can lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack.
Andrew Weil
I've always been called controversial. I think if I were not controversial I wouldn't be doing my job.
Andrew Weil
