Dr. Andrew Weil has long been an advocate for alternative medicine and healthy living. When he founded the Center for Integrative Medicine in 1994, he vowed to create a program where people wouldn’t have to choose between mainstream and alternative medicine treatments. As he got older he began expanding his research on aging and developed a program to help people “age gracefully.”In this exciting talk, Dr. Weil explains his philosophy on aging and offers concrete ways to make you happier and healthier in your twilight years.
