"One of his best books, I love learning about health and nutrition and Andrew Weil is the doctor I trust most to give me honest, balanced advice on these subjects."

"This is a comprehensive guide that should be on everyone's bookshelf. Covering all you need to know about aging, you will find yourself referring to it over and over again.It covers everything from diet to supplements to exercise to thoughts, emotions and attitudes and the role they play in healthy aging.

"Healthy Aging is an oasis of sage advice in the raucous marketplace of alternative health care literature. I appreciate that Dr. Weil's approach is science and evidence based, but isn't stuck to the Western medical model.
This book is very accessible--for the general reader, it strikes the right balance between "technical" and conversational. For me, the chapter discussing the relation between diet and inflammatory processes in the body, and the relation between these processes and age related diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer and heart disease, was a revelation. I had been vaguely aware of the dangers of poorly regulated inflammation, but Dr. Weil brings the issue into sharp focus.
Healthy Aging reinforces my admiration for Dr. Weil's work. If you want to take responsibility for your own health, read this book.
The 15 pages of Notes in the back are a gold mine."

"This author is not a perfect man and MOST of his thoughts are not perfect or even original. However, every reader will be guided to a better and possibly longer life by reading this wonderful work."

"Maybe because I'm an RN with an interest in holistic wellness this book had nothing new or specific for me. The information was good but very generalized. Perhaps for a layperson with very little knowledge of wellness and nutrition this would be good, but the terminology and writing style is not conducive to a light read. I'd like to think I'm beig unfair, but overall I wasn't impressed."
