Andrew Weil, MD

Dr. Weil describes how he came to develop his philosophy of integrative medicine, from early interests in botany and mind/body interactions to experiencing healing practices in other cultures and working with practitioners of nonallopathic forms of medicine, leading finally to the founding of the first dedicated academic integrative medicine center to open in the heart of the medical campus of a major university. He also explains why he believes integrative medicine will shape the future of health care.
