Testing.

[gbrlgrct]

His beard is made of win.

[insomniacgrace]

This is a very helpful video especially nowadays that computer geeks are increasing. And also, topics discussed are worth discussing for. Thanks for having this video posted.

[thesyncsounds]

Brilliant video, cheers.

[moonpathwoman]

This is an excellent video! Thanks for sharing.

[mikeinbc]

Vitamin D naturally> Cod liver oil, shitake mushrooms, salmon, & fish

[elm118]

I miss the counter culture Andy Weil.

[ThusIsBrad]

Yeah, we should definitely integrate medicine that works with medicine that doesn't work. The results aren't yet variable enough. Let's make jobs for sub-par practioners of pseudo-medicine!

[Contorted]

Weil really has a amazingly chill vibe about him

[cbarrett34]

he's awesome

[ReaperAHHH]

omg i drink so much milk, i have since i was a kid

[lattegal10]

Enjoy Dr Weil's very informative health info!

[MegaherzX]

What would Penn & Teller think?

[lizonnat]

This was great! Thanks Kevin.

Has anyone ever tried 100 percent pure cocoa? It's really bitter and doesn't taste too good -- I think one of the reason chocolate is so addictive today is because of the added sugar.

[lizonnat]

This was great! Thanks Kevin

[BananaSandwich1]

he looks like god lol

[guyjeb]

I didn't think Kevin Rose know what he was talking about with his blogs with Tim Ferriss. Seeing this, shows not only that he got to meet with one of his greatest role models, but that Kevin is authentic.

Thanks Kevin.. I learned more in this 1/2 hour about health than I have all Year.

[dennissafety]

I just got hired at the new True Foods Kitchen opening next month in Newport Beach! So stoked.

[MDiTVinc]

Hi Kevin, nice to see some general health information....

[doctaword]

I like how he always used the Japanese as a comparison to our diets xD

[bhobnet]

every one in the world should see these video

[bhobnet]

@bhobnet this video

[MegaWolf]

I've never felt better in my life (mentally, physically, socially) than i did when i was taking vitamin D every morning with breakfast.

[asdicarlo]

this is the best Andrew Weil interview I've seen...balanced and comprehensive. thank you

[skateebee]

I used to to like Dr Weil until I figured out he has an agenda - he has his own line of vitamins, hence the constant recommendation to take daily supplements.

[00820739]

@skateebee if you recall, he said the brand of supplement was not important. He has his own line of vitamins because he has to make money some how, but he never mentions his brand in this video. I believe the health advice he gives here is fairly objective.

[akamanonthemoon]

That was a great interview with wonderfully informative answers! God I miss TechTv!!!!

[valnaples]

GREAT interview!!! Loved it...fascinating about the sockeye salmon, how it cannot be farmed...did not know that! But I've been receiving Dr. Weil's e-mails every day now for a few years...he's awesome! Very good questions...thank you!

[mykylc]

...and he has. Nice.

[mykylc]

I wonder if he has looked into the use of hemp oil.

[crispedfuture]

His advice is not scientific and he provides limited data. I've heard 80%+ of what he's said. Not impressed.

[MikeCampo]

@crispedfuture Good for you.

[FractalVideoDotCom]

@crispedfuture Dr Weil is quite Scientific actually, he's just open to new data even if it debunks the old. Sometimes he's going on hypothesis but he generally tells people when he does that.

[PannaIka]

His beard is awesome.

Looking forward to reading his books. :)

[aurapet]

Great interview

Those were some great questions I learned alot.

Thanks

[iAppleGamers]

Andrew Weil really inspired me. He has done so much.

[andrewnagl]

Really surprised Kevin didn't chime in when Dr. Weil was mentioning matcha tea. It shows he's a good interviewer that stays on topic and leaves the talking to the interviewee.

[thedvs01]

the white balance between the 5D and the other camera are inconsistent in this video, as well as the most recent 'Random'

[threxel]

Thank you Kevin. That was a very informative and positive interview. I once believed that the FDA protected us from the hazards of the food industry, but its come to my attention that we should all be more educated on diet and fitness in general. I used to think the Europeans where a little nutty with their stance on food, but now realize we all have to be more responsible for what we put into our bodies. After all, what is more important that your own well being?

[dcGunner]

Bro. Kevin you Need to get Moot on diggnation

[rawsharc5]

dont all of the processed foods have high fructose corn syrup tho?

[Alacrates]

I think a huge number of them do - I don't think it is very possible to eat a lot of processed foods and avoid high fructose corn syrup at the same time

[ventauroo]

For eye strain and general visual health concerns regarding a lot of computer use, please consider installing Workrave or a similar program. Throughout the years, I have trained myself to perform the eye exercises regularly during my geek day, but a program that reminds you when to take a break (and in this case provides simple exercises for your eyes and body to reduce strain and RSI) is crucial to sedentary computer workers like us.

[otchacha]

this is awesome

[grytan1]

Thanks for doing this, very informative.

BTW, Dr. Weil's voice is so good listening too. :)

[buck22dblaze]

Kevin & Dr Weil,

Thank you so much for doing this interview--very informative!

[ifeelgoodsodamngood]

his unbuttoned shirt is distracting me...

[Luky1Jay]

LOL i noticed that pretty quickly too.

[willij]

That was actually really good. I learned a few things.

[bananatronGO]

LONG time fan of both Dr. Weil and Kevin. Great content.

[KaileighJordyn]

Thankz! Great and very informative video.

[SeaTownGunner]

No wonder why I get horny when I drink Milk. It's because all the sex hormones in the cows. lol

[meesterhoward]

kevin rose trying to be like anderson cooper

[optoomistic]

@meesterhoward only straight and more of a self made man

[mathatton]

Great talk. Lots of information covered... much of it is common sense, if you think about it.

[lehman]

If it looks like duck...

[MissGuideMe]

Rhodiala Rosea is very usful for depression and may other ailments, its a natural root from Siberia.

[MissGuideMe]

oolong, sencha, white tea and matcha...ohh yes, and mate. Good quality gunpowder green whole leave tea.

Never heard of turmeric tea, shall go investigate,

Thanks Kevin and Dr Wiel

[YoungJizzow]

excellent vid yo

[DPBdandan139]

I DON'T WANT TO EAT ANY THING ANY MORE!

[basherhp2112]

Great video...Makes me want to eat healthier

[BK0125]

Great video, thank you.

[darkreign16]

Interesting, but this doctor has been criticized by Dr. Arnold S. Relman for his "rejection of some aspects of evidence-based medicine and promotion of alternative medicine practices that are not verifiably efficacious", according to Wikipedia.

Alternative medicine is pretty goofy.

[danostermayer]

he also doesn't seem to be very cardiovascularly fit

[otchacha]

hahaha!! you're quoting wikipedia and talking about someone rejecting evidence-based ____?!?! hilarious

[nanciesweb]

It's also interesting that "evidence based" experts also condemned ALL fat. Now "evidence based" experts say that some fat is good. I could go on and on on how many "evidence based" claims were made and how many of these "evidence based" claims were rejected by other "evidence based" claims, but 500 characters isn't enough to do so.

Take everything you read and hear with "a grain of salt". If it's "evidence based" it could be just based on what little evidence is there at the time.

[darkreign16]

They changed their mind BECAUSE OF NEW EVIDENCE. Duh.

Are you honestly criticizing EVIDENCE???

[nanciesweb]

Well, no. My point is that sometimes ALL the evidence isn't there. So we (I do this too, it's human), make assumptions based on what we see - even if it's completely wrong.

That's why I keep a health journal. If I feel like crap, regardless on what the experts say, I simply don't ingest it.

It also depends on WHO does the study. That explains why in the same week, coffee is both good for us and bad for us. There's also the fact that what's good for one could be bad for another.

[FeelOfFriction]

@darkreign16

How are plants goofy?

[walkingconundrum]

Very informative. Thank You.

[Degslon]

[Degslon]
